What's On Tonight (Saturday): Romance is dead

Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins

Murdur durdur! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 17!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season premiere of Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins (Oxygen, 8 p.m. / Peacock, Sunday). It's Saturday. Listings are slim, so I went with one of the generic murdur durdur shows. This one is about people killing their significant others. For a few years, Faith Jenkins was the presiding judge of Divorce Court.

ElsewhereMammals survive in the forest, Chefs are back to swapping at the beach, a Johnson is a peacemaker, One Piece tries to keep it together, and Murder is still Real in Atlanta.

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