TV Club would like to invite you to be its date to the My Little Pony royal wedding
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Friday, April 20, and Saturday, April 21. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (The Hub, 1 p.m., Saturday): Todd VanDerWerff doesn’t usually get excited for things, because he’s an emotionless robot who can only be provoked to even the mildest of smiles by animated .GIFs of otters doing cute things, but he’s been waiting for the “Royal Wedding” episode of this show, pretty much ever since he got the screeners for it about a month ago. As such, we thought we’d alert all of you as well, so you may gather with Todd and discuss the latest in pony matrimony and the best pony fashions of the big day. Pony!
REGULAR COVERAGE
Fringe (Fox, 9 p.m., Friday): We’re so excited for this episode’s trip to the future that we almost made it the top pick, before we remembered the ponies. But the thing we might be most excited for is that the episode will surely feature NEW CREDITS. Noel Murray can barely contain himself, so excited is he.
Grimm (NBC, 9 p.m., Friday): A creature bounty hunter comes to town in an episode entitled “Cat And Mouse.” Kevin McFarland isn’t sure why anyone would choose that title for this episode… unless the episode just features the wacky antics of an animated cat and mouse, darting all over Portland. Great!
Supernatural (The CW, 9 p.m., Friday): “Sam and Dean reconnect with an old hunter friend,” says the episode description. An old hunter friend? An old hunter friend?! Didn’t this show kill off all of their old hunter friends?! Phil Dyess-Nugent is pulling for that guy who was in that one episode in season four.
Magic City (Starz, 10 p.m., Friday): We decided to add this show at the last minute last week. Even Will Harris was taken aback! But now he’s ready for super cool fun times in the Miami sun and lots of stylish people doing stylish things. That’s our Will Harris! Known for his dedication to the finer things in life!
The Legend Of Korra (Nickelodeon, 11 a.m., Saturday): You’ve informed us enough times that the catchphrase we were searching for last week was “Yip, yip!” and now we’ve just started saying that apropos of nothing in our own lives. Emily Guendelsberger says it to everyone she meets outside.
TV CLUB CLASSIC
Veronica Mars (11 a.m., Friday): Veronica digs into some standalone cases, and the show frantically attempts to gain enough viewers to win a fourth season. Of course, all of us out here know how this ends, but Rowan Kaiser doesn’t yet know there won’t be a year four, so nobody tell him, okay?
Angel (1 p.m., Friday): Man, we love “Smile Time,” which might be the definition of a show like this doing a “gimmick” episode right. We’re less certain on the other hour Noel Murray watches this week, which involves a flashback to World War II and fisticuffs on a submarine. Actually, that sounds amazing.
