| Death Investigator with Barbara Butcher |
Wax on, wax off! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 27!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Death Investigator with Barbara Butcher (Oxygen, 9 p.m.). With the new season, there are still limited Saturday options, so in turning to the TV staple of true crime, we have Death Investigator about the cases of NYC investigator Barbara Butcher. This Dick Wolf-produced show recounts some of the hundreds of homicides Butcher worked on during her time at the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York.
Elsewhere, 48 Hours is back but remains 1 hour in length, Courtney Stodden gets Lifetime movie treatment, Nat Geo searches the Lost & Found, a Karate Kid comes to Netflix, Hallmark goes Birding, and One Piece will upset the world.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
