What's On Tonight (Saturday): Why not the Judds when you're growin' old

Judd Family: Truth Be Told

You're a cookie full of arsenic! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 10!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Judd Family: Truth Be Told (Lifetime, 8 p.m.). This 2-night docuseries is the Judd sisters Wynonna and Ashley and other family members telling the full story of the family, which isn't like the public persona that was often on display. Secrets. It's always secrets. If the show's credits I read are correct, the Judds aren't producers, so hopefully this is more revealing and complete than those partially controlled by the subjects. It's been 40 years since mother-daughter duo Naomi and Wynonna became country music sensations.

Elsewhere, Walton Goggins is Live from New York, Jamie Lee Curtis picks Two, the Doctor is in Lagos, there's Love in the Clouds, and Lazarus is still looking for Skinner.
