What's On Tonight (Saturday): This game is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Banana Ball

Somebody slap me and wake me the fuck! up Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 6!

Our Top Pick tonight is Banana Ball World Tour (TruTV, 10 p.m.). This new exhibition baseball sport has many things professional baseball could use. Athletics feats, dancing, quick pacing, showdowns, and crowd participation. You really should check out the 60 Minutes segment on it, which is currently only 4 teams. The athletically-gifted theater kids have an ideal outlet.

Elsewhere, Jasmine Crockett has News, Prime has some Confidence, Springs blossom for the cafΓ© owner, One Piece reminisces, and Mariana Van Zeller uncovers an anti-LGBTQ+ network.

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