Saucy American sex symbol Mae West first dressed as the Statue of Liberty in 1938 for a Vanity Fair photo shoot. Then Edith Head recreated the costume for her 1970 turn in “Myra Breckinridge.”
Unfortunately, that’s not part of the five-film salute to West today on Turner Classic Movies, which sticks to her greatest works from the 1930s to mid-40s, starting with two from the 1933 “I’m No Angel” (8 p.m.) and “She Done Him Wrong” (9:45 p.m.), both opposite Cary Grant; followed by “Belle of the Nineties” (11:15 p.m.), featuring Duke Ellington; the classic “My Little Chickadee” (12:45 a.m.) with W.C. Fields, which the two also wrote. It’s rounded out by “The Heat’s On” (2:15 a.m.), her last starring role for several decades.
Daniel makes a decision that rankles Amantha on “Rectify” (Sundance, 9 p.m.).
Marc seems an unlikely new student for yoga on a new “Maron” (IFC, 10 p.m.) on which Rachel Harris guest stars.
“Our America with Lisa Ling” (OWN, 10 p.m.) looks at the struggles of the Los Angeles County Children and Family Services Department.
I’m thinking Newark is a little far afield for a documentary series called “NY Med” (ABC, 10 p.m.), but then again a lot of people fly into Newark to get to Manhattan. And University Hospital there provides a grittier locale than New York Presbyterian.
“Undateable” (NBC, 9 and 9:30 p.m.) proved unsuccessful on network TV well. Tonight sees the final two episodes.
Gangs seem to be especially malicious tonight, on both “Rookie Blue” (ABC, 9 p.m.) and “Gang Related” (Fox, 9 p.m.).
Donny saved himself, so Joey was put on the block as a replacement by Caleb on “Big Brother” (CBS, 9 p.m.). So she or Paola will be the first to be evicted this season tonight. Joey’s big crime? Trying to start a women’s alliance, which got no response from her clueless fellow females, so she’s treated like the Taliban by Caleb, who started his own predictable guy’s alliance days earlier. That dude has to go.
Nothing much about the American Revolution on TV, but there is something about “American Restoration” (History, 10 and 10:30 p.m.).
Yo, Adrian: Stallone overload! “Rocky” (AMC, 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.), “Rocky II” (AMC, 11:30 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and “Rocky III” (AMC, 2 and 9:30 p.m.). One day premature: “Born on the 4th of July” (Sundance, 6 p.m.).
Baseball includes St. Louis at San Francisco (MLB, 3:45 p.m.) and Yankees at Minnesota (ESPN, 8 p.m.).
One more item in college baseball: Home Run Derby (ESPN, 8:30 p.m.).
Time for the women’s semifinals at Wimbledon (ESPN, 8 a.m.).
