What's On Tonight (Saturday): Miss Cleo has the answers

Miss Cleo: Her Rise and Fall

Call me now! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 10!

Our Top Pick tonight is Miss Cleo: Her Rise and Fall (Lifetime, 8 p.m.). This new made for TV movie dramatizes the, well, rise and fall of Miss Cleo, aka Youree Harris, whose psychic pay-per-call-minute service became a sensation in the late '90s and early '00s. If you were around at the time, her commercials became a part of the culture. Max released a documentary on her last year.

ElsewhereMammals are in heat, Tubi be Robbin with the Hustlers, Hallmark Dreams of YouJohnson has a gig, TNT kicks it into Overdrive, and dubbed Demon Slayer is back.

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