| Exposing Parchman |
Put a bird on it! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 17!
Our Top Pick tonight is the investigative documentary Exposing Parchman (A&E, 8 p.m.). The doc spans 3 hours and tells the story of the fight to reform the correctional system in Mississippi and the plantation-turned-prison Parchman that was full of abuses and neglect — and all covered-up.
Elsewhere, the final battle of the Food Wars wages — and probably lots of jiggling female body parts — Murdoch closes out his 16th season, Act Your Age talks reproduction, Christian Cooper goes Birding, AEW is on a Collision, John Early does standup and song covers, and Catchy Comedy binges Not-Andy.
