What's On Tonight (Saturday): Wars without end

Storage Wars

Suppose I have to whack you over the knuckles! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 28!

Our Top Pick tonight is Storage Wars (A&E, 9 p.m.), one of the few surviving shows from the era when Wars was added to many craft- and business-based reality shows. There are still empty storage units so the A&E crafted war rages on. No end in sight.

Elsewhere, Nathan Lane picks Two, Lazarus at last finds their target, Machu Picchu hosts a Proposal, being Pretty Hurts, and a final person must pick Family or FiancΓ©.

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