What's On Tonight (Saturday): Geek out

Greatest Geek Year Ever: 1982

Khan! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 15!

Our Top Pick tonight is the docuseries Greatest Geek Year Ever! 1982 (The CW, 8 p.m.). The crowdfunded project makes the case for 1982 being the best year ever for geeks and a high point for American culture in other entertainment mediums. Yeah... no. Last week's premiere was a mixed bag with some nice info but an off-putting opening that was poorly edited with far too many ideas and dumb statements, like how culture has changed. You waited in line for hours to see a movie because you couldn't stream it at home? No way!

Elsewhere, Stargirl Dawn falls for a theater kid, Christmas in July is still a thing, the Straw Hats bid a One Piece farewell, the WNBA brings out its all-stars, Dr. Stone travels on Perseus, Weather Channel Unlocks Earth.
