What's On Tonight (Saturday): All she wants out of life is a 30 share and a 20 rating

Faye

She robbed banks! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 13!

Our Top Pick tonight is the documentary Faye (HBO & Max). This doc is a profile of actress Faye Dunaway. As far as I know, Dunaway is not a producer of the film, so this one might rise above and get real substance, which so many biography docs are missing -- because the subject is also a key producer.

Elsewhere, Kids pick their award-winners, BBC America studies Mammals, Murder comes from going to church, Naruto has a wedding guest problem, the ocean is filled with Mothersharkers, and Superman needs help.

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