What's On Tonight (Saturday): Fresh Prince of America

American Prince: JFK Jr.

What a bunch of bull! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 9!

Our Top Pick tonight is American Prince: JFK Jr. (CNN, 9 p.m.). This 3-part docuseries follows the life of JFK Jr., who I assume is being taken as dead for this show. He is not living among us. The show "traces John’s early years, marked by his father’s assassination and the societal and familial pressures to carry the Kennedy torch, through his decision to create George, a new kind of political magazine within the rapidly evolving media landscape of the 1990s." Among other life events.

Elsewhere, The CW is into bull racing, Lifetime finds Faith, Providence solves crimes, Mariana goes to Vietnam, and One Piece goes to an island.
