| Diarra from Detroit |
Image is everything! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 16!
Our Top Pick tonight is special premiere preview of Diarra from Detroit (BET & VH1, 10 p.m.). This is a preview ahead of its formal BET+ premiere on Thursday. The dramedy mystery, created by and starring Diarra Kilpatrick, follows Diarra searching for a hot Tinder date she is convinced has gone missing. Or... she got ghosted. She's also divorcing Morris Chestnut. The cast includes Phylicia Rashad, too. If it's not a Tyler Perry show, BET has a decent track record. Don't sleep on BET+!
Elsewhere, the NAACP hands out awards, Lifetime sends some sexts, orange balls are thrown, Critter Fixers are still Country Vets, and Toonami remembers Akira Toriyama.
