What's On Tonight (Saturday): This is where we came in

Two for One

The devil made me do it! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 6!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Two for One (TCM, 8 p.m.). This new 12-week wrap-around series invites a guest programmer to curate an old-fashioned double feature. First is Martin Scorsese and he'll be followed by Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg, Patty Jenkins, Olivia Wilde, and David Byrne, among others. Upcoming double features include Auntie Mame/Grey Gardens, A Face in the Crowd/Ace in the Hole, The Gunfighter/Gun Crazy, Coming Home/The Last Detail, and Trouble in Paradise/Jewel Robbery.

Elsewhere, Kristen Wiig is Live for a 5th time, more sportsballs are bounced, Sorority Girls have a Secret Life, the Ninja launches a counterattack, Adam Edelman does standup Just for Us, Book Clubs have love, and Harvey Guillen is Impractical.
