Now is the time that networks unload all the episodes of all the shows they paid for but never aired because they canceled the show.
Prime example is “How to Be a Gentleman” (CBS, 8 and 8:30 p.m.), the sitcom starring Kevin Dillion doing his best Johnny Drama.
“NYC 22” (CBS, 9 p.m.) was canceled too, though it seemed a better variation of “Rookie Blue.” But the pilot is rerun again.
When “Harry’s Law” (NBC, 8 p.m.) was canceled, its season finale became its series finale. See it again tonight.
The only other new episode of a network show is “The Firm” (NBC, 9 p.m.) which, you guessed it, is also canceled.
Looks like the best bet for prime time is sports, with game 7 in the NBA playoff game of the 76ers at Celtics (ABC, 8 p.m.).
And baseball encroaches on prime time as well with the network game varying by region. But it could be Nationals at Braves (Fox, 4 p.m.).
A season finale comes for “Beverly’s Full House” (OWN, 10 p.m.).
It used to be that sharks were scary enough on their own. Now they have to have super powers. Or at least names like “Super Shark” (Syfy, 9 p.m.), a new TV movie starring John Schneider, Sarah Lieving and Tim Abell.
War movies tonight include “Flags of Our Fathers” (AMC, 8 p.m.) and “Memphis Belle” (Encore, 8 p.m.),
Fight films tonight include “Invincible” (Fox Movie Channel, 7:30 p.m.), “Fist of Fury” (G4, 8 p.m.) and “The Wrestler” (Fox Movie Channel, 10 p.m.).
Which couple was more passive aggressive? “The Princess and the Frog” (ABC Family, 8 p.m.) and “Beauty and the Beast” (ABC Family, 10 p.m.).
You know her best as Glinda the Good Witch. But Billie Burke was featured in many other films including “Dinner At Eight” (TCM, 8 p.m.), “Topper” (TCM, 10 p.m.), “Father of the Bride” (TCM, midnight), “Merrily We Live” (TCM, 2 a.m.) and “The Barkleys on Broadway” (TCM, 4 a.m.).
New to cable is the animated sequel “Kung Fu Panda 2” (HBO, 8 p.m.),
Mumford and Sons play a repeat of “Austin City Limits” (PBS, 9 p.m.).
“Saturday Night Live” (NBC, 11:30 p.m.), its season over, reverts to reruns all summer. Tonight’s is the one with Josh Brolin and Gotye.
