What's On Tonight (Saturday): Preserving Our Television Heritage, Era 9

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle

Holy astringent plum-like fruit! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 29!

Our Top Pick tonight is Classic TV scattered across the nighty TV schedules of various networks, especially the newest addition, MeTV Toons. As with the previous entry, all listings are those that can't be found on a streamer, legally. Amateur YouTube uploads don't count. The shows also gotta be somewhat substantially aged -- 1990s and prior.

Elsewhere, Zombies hit Disney, Hallmark is a snowflake, Ruth Finley gets Lifetime treatment, and Superman and Supergirl fight together, 

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