What's On Tonight (Saturday): Here they go again

ABBA: Against the Odds

Does your mother know! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 11!

Our Top Pick tonight is the documentary ABBA: Against the Odds (The CW, 8 p.m. / The CW App, Sunday). The movie profiles the famous Swedish Europop/disco supergroup that hit the bigtime after winning Eurovision (also this weekend!) in 1974. Their songs such as "Mamma Mia!," "Dancing Queen," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!," and "Take a Chance on Me," among others, that are still key pieces of our collective pop music lexicon.

Elsewhere, Maya Rudolph is Live from New York, Nikki Glaser considers death, Patty Jenkins picks Two, Kevin Hart is awarded for Humor, Mommy gets Mean, ESPN+ goes Full Court, and Catchy Comedy can keep Manhattan.

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