What's On Tonight (Saturday): Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Mother Monster!

Gaga Chromatica Ball

Truth, justice, and the monster way! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 25!

Our Top Pick tonight is the concert special Gaga Chromatica Ball (HBO & Max, 8 p.m.). The special was filmed during the pop singer's 2022 The Chromatica Ball. This is only Gaga's second solo concert special. Her last was 2011's Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden. In this new one, she will sing plenty of her well-known tunes, from "Just Dance" and "Bad Romance" to "911" and "Stupid Love." It's Gaga, so expect high production values and lots of elaborate choreography.

ElsewhereSuperman returns, One Piece battles the fishes, boats are Murder, ID finds a Cover Up, and Naruto seeks the source.

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