What's On Tonight (Saturday): A Piece of the action

One Piece

Ooh! Ooh! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 24!

Our Top Pick tonight is One Piece (Adult Swim, 1 a.m.). The long-running anime and source for the recent Netflix live-action adaptation continues its trek on Adult Swim. It is approaching the halfway point of its Dressrosa arc, which spans 120 episodes. Tonight's episode is #683. In Japan, episode #1116 airs tonight. This show still has a ways to go stateside.

Elsewhere, Tubi gets Fit, Hallmark makes Lemon Drops magical, fall sportsballs trickle back, ID gets Dark and Stormy, a veterans needs to make teenagers like him, and there's a hold up in the Bronx

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