What's On Tonight (Saturday): Non-Olympic sportsballs

Baseball Night in America

Bonjour! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 27!

Our Top Pick tonight is Baseball Night in America (Fox, 7 p.m.) because it's slim pickings. There are still sports happening stateside that aren't played in Paris. Baseball isn't an Olympic sport this year — it will return in Los Angeles 2028 — so MLB games will have to do this summer. The MLB-Fox series, which only dates back to 2012, presents a game between either the sailors and the south siders or the big rivals of northeasterners and ruby stocking-wearers. Go team go! (I used to like this sport.)

Elsewhere, athletes have taken over Paris, Dinner & a Movie gets Despicable, Lifetime is on a Vendetta, Mammals occupy waters, and Mind finishes its Business.

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

📺 The Carol Burnett Show (Catchy Comedy / Pluto TV & The Roku Channel & Tubi, now): Spend the weekend with a television essential. Starring comedian Carol Burnett, the sketch comedy show is a '60s staple, and Catchy Comedy will present episodes in their intended one-hour presentation, not the half-hour syndication cuts.

Also featured: a musical performance by Shani Wallis."
