What's On Tonight (Saturday): Lazarus, come out!

Lazarus

God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick ass.! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 5!

Our Top Pick tonight is Lazarus (Adult Swim, midnight / Max, Sunday). This future-set anime follows a team trying to find a vaccine for a miracle drug that will soon lead to the death of all who took it. It's created by Shinichirō Watanabe, who has directed shows such as Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, and Samurai Champloo.

Elsewhere, Elton, Jack & Brandi are Live from New York, Karen Chee has News, Hallmark goes back for Thirds, women are still looking for that Dress, and mom wants her Daughter back.

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