Our Top Pick tonight is Buddy Valastro's Cake Dynasty (A&E, 10 p.m.). The pickings for new, untapped programs are slim! I had to watch a lot of Cake Boss back in the day because I had a roommate who used it frequently as comfort TV. I kinda liked the "Sugar, Sugar" title. 3 years after Cake Boss ended, cake-maker extraordinaire Buddy Valastro is back and trying to run a business. I can't say I have any interest in the show. Saturday TV!
Elsewhere, the Doctor has a familiar face, Lacey Chabert gets Lit, Planet Earth has freshwater, Naruto is blessed and cursed, and Austin City Limits holds some Honors.
