What's On Tonight (Saturday): Think Green

Big City Greens

Hello, autumn! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 23!

Our Top Pick tonight is the primetime season premiere of Big City Greens (Disney Channel & Disney XD, 8 p.m.). In full honesty, I thought this animated series wrapped up its run. Disney's schedule for tonight tells me otherwise. The show is about the Green family, once residents of Smalton, now living on a small farm in Big City. These days, the family resides in both places. I think? I find the show rather annoying.

ElsewhereZombies face robot bear, Sam Jay gets raw, Heidi Broussard gets Lifetime movie treatment, Disney returns to the Chibiverse, Dr. Pol does a last IncredibleHip Hop finds the last Treasures, and FLCL rummages.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
