What's On Tonight (Saturday): Put on the Pounds

Pound 4 Pound

No one's ever really gone! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 22!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Pound 4 Pound (BET & BET Her & VH1, 11:30 p.m.). This import comes from BET Africa. It stars Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa as leading a team of women boxers to the Africa Unite Boxing Championship, and there's sabotage going on in her organization. Sabotage isn't an America-only thing!

Elsewhere, the NAACP hands out awards, Asia is crowded, Aidy Bryant gives the Independents the Spirit, Hallmark joins the Sisterhood, Joe Frazier gets documentary treatment, One Piece finds the Minion, and Disney returns to the Chibiverse.

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