What's On Tonight (Saturday): Now she holds her head up high

Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive

Wakanda forever! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 8!

Our Top Pick tonight is Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive (Lifetime, 10 p.m.). The documentary, which largely follows Gaynor's recent move into the gospel music space, follows a TV movie adaptation of her early career. I've heard mixed things about the doc, including too limited in its perspective and not reflective enough on Gaynor's impact, but there are new stories presented to make it worth your time.

Elsewhere, Sturgill Simpson goes to the Limits, Saturday Calls the Heart, Kevin Costner goes West, Asia is cold, Kobe ends his career, Northern Vets are Incredible, and the Big Game gets Soulful.

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