What's On Tonight (Saturday): Go together like a horse and carriage

Love & Marriage: Huntsville

You can't quit SNL! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 18!

Our Top Pick tonight is Love & Marriage: Huntsville (OWN, 8 p.m.) because sometimes there aren't many options! L&M: Huntsville is the original of the small but growing OWN franchise that follows the lives of power-player couples in a city. If you are into marriage squabbles, rich people problems, and reality show drama, this might be for you. If not, stay away. It is currently in its eighth season. In recent years, the franchise has expanded to D.C. and Detroit.

Elsewhere, Jake Gyllenhaal is Live from New York, Puppies are in the air, 48 Hours wraps another season of murder and mystery, Steven Spielberg picks Two.

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

This Weekend in Pop Culture (9:30 p.m.): What pop culture have you consumed lately? This is our weekly thread for you talk about it.

🕗 8 P.M. EASTERN / 🕖 7 P.M. CENTRAL

🎥 The Bad Guardian (Lifetime): "When Leigh's father, Jason, suffers a fall, the courts assign him a guardian named Janet to help. But when Janet takes over every aspect of Jason's life, Leigh must find the strength to take down the guardian and the corrupt system that supports her." So this is unrelated to the Simon Baker TV show (RIP Dabney) and the Kevin Costner movie.

🎥 Everything Puppies (Hallmark Channel / Peacock, Sunday): "Looking to make it big with innovative dog toys and treats, an entrepreneur and inventor finds success with support from a handsome client."

⭐ Love & Marriage: Huntsville (OWN): Melody talks through Martell's arrest with Nell. Courtney and Stormi look to add a new baby and a classic car to the family. An old friend of the Beasleys pops up with a new man. Melody gathers Kimmi and Tisha together before confronting them.

🎥 Two for One (TCM): It's Steven Spielberg's turn to pick a double feature! The iconic director picks the Elvis musical drama Jailhouse Rock and the Barbara Stanwyck Western Forty Guns, both from 1957.✔️

🕘 9 P.M. EASTERN / 🕗 8 P.M. CENTRAL

📺 Petticoat Junction (Catchy Comedy / Amazon Prime Video, now): Kick back and spend the weekend at the Shady Rest Hotel. The rural escapist sitcom that is part of Beverly Hillbillies-Verse is led by Bea Benaderet as Kate Bradley who runs the hotel and has three daughters. I find it very time locked, a strong piece of '60s television. In this episode, "Uncle Joe wants to make sure everyone is prepared when Kate's pregnant friend comes for a stay at the Shady Rest."✔️

WHAT ELSE IS ON

Critter Fixers: Country Vets (National Geographic Wild)

Petticoat Junction (via Giphy)

🕙 10 P.M. EASTERN / 🕘 9 P.M. CENTRAL

48 Hours (CBS / Paramount+, Sunday): SEASON FINALE. In "The Puzzling Death of Susann Sills," when the wife of a fertility doctor is found dead, the initial investigation reveals evidence consistent with an accidental fall, but other evidence points to something more... sinister.

WHAT ELSE IS ON

All Elite Wrestling: Rampage (TNT)

💤😴 LATE NIGHT 😴💤

📺 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (MeTV, 2 a.m.): Crane is turned into a beast-like creature as the result of experimental descents in the diving bell.
