What's On Tonight (Saturday): Live from New York, it's Edward R. Murrow!

Good Night, and Good Luck Live

I'm a little busy bringing down the network tonight, Bill! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 7!

Our Top Pick tonight is Good Night, and Good Luck Live (CNN & Max, 7 p.m.). This is a live presentation of the current (Tony-nominated) Broadway adaptation of the 2005 true-story film about journalist Edward R. Murrow sought to bring an end to Sen. Joseph McCarthy's actions in the name of defeating communism. CBS! CBS! CBS! George Clooney, who wrote and directed the film, goes from Fred Friendly to Murrow in the medium switch. The live-ness of this production makes me lower my expectations.

Elsewhere, women play sports too, David Attenborough travels the Ocean, Paul Giamatti picks Two, Storage Wars is still a thing, Heather Robinson gets Lifetime movie treatment, and Lazarus probably violates HIPAA.
