What's On Tonight (Saturday): Okay, so not as bad as we expected

Eurovision Grand Finals

Hey Boo Boo! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 17!

Our Top Pick tonight is Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Grand Finals (Peacock, 3 p.m.). This should be concluded by the time primetime begins, but it usually runs around 4 hours, so there's plenty of buildup for your late afternoon and early evening before voting begins. This year's event is hosted by Switzerland, and a Celine Dion appearance rumors are swirling. The finale never fails to be loud, colorful, and flashy. These artists wanna stand out and win. I love europop. I wish it was had a real foothold in our American pop culture landscape.

Elsewhere, ScarJo is Live from New York, the Doctor joins a different song competition, John Carpenter picks Two, new Blue Exorcist hits Toonami, Lazarus contends with rising sea levels, and Honey Boo Boo gets biography treatment.

EARLY STREAMING & EVENING

Doctor Who (Disney+, 3 a.m.): The Doctor's mission to return Belinda to Earth brings them to a space station's song competition. What starts as entertainment turns into a fight for survival.✔️

🕗 PRIMETIME 🕚

48 Hours (CBS, 10 p.m. / Paramount+, Sunday): When a woman is murdered in her apartment, the killer leaves behind bloody bare footprints that eventually lead to a conviction. Sloppy work.

🎥 I Was Honey Boo Boo (Lifetime, 8 p.m.): Alana Thompson becomes a child star after appearing in Toddlers & Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. However, her world gets turned upside down after a series of family scandals and legal troubles places her in the care of her older sister.

🎥 Two for One: Frankenstein / The Curse of Frankenstein (TCM, 8 p.m.): It's director John Carpenter's turn to pick a double feature, and he goes for the monster flicks. First up is the quintessential monster movie Frankenstein with Boris Karloff. That's followed by the 1957 British film Curse of Frankenstein, Hammer's iconic first color horror film and with Christopher Lee as the creature. I don't know what aspect ratio TCM has for it.✔️
