Stephen King’s new series “Castle Rock” (Hulu, streaming) plays like a greatest hits mashup, where bits of his most popular old stories pop up, from Sharwshank Prison to reminders of films from “It” to “Carrie.” Lots of familiar faces pop up in the show created with J.J. Abrams, from Terry O’Quinn and Frances Conroy to Sissy Spacek, Scott Glenn and Melanie Lynsey.
It’s pretty surprising, given the visual nature of the medium, that there aren’t more shows about visual arts. That changes a bit tonight with “The Art Show” (Ovation, 10 p.m.) which looks at art in Detroit, London and Beijing.
Kristin Kreuk returns to TV (and CW in particular) in the new “Burden of Truth” (CW, 8 p.m.), playing a high powered attorney for a pharmaceutical company looking into a series of sick high school students in her hometown in Manitoba.
It may well be the final episode of “Colony” (USA, 10 p.m.) ever tonight, after the network canceled it abruptly last week. As usual Josh Holloway sacrifices to protect his family while his wife played by Sarah Wayne Callies tries to save refugees outside the walls.
“Shark Tank Meets Shark Week” (Discovery, 9 p.m.) is the crossover episode you’ve been waiting for as the business moguls from the ABC hit will dive with real sharks and decide where to send a donation for conservation. Surrounding it are “Air Jaws: Back from the Dead” (Discovery, 8 p.m.) and “SharkCam Stakeout” (Discovery, 10 p.m.).
It’s the series end of the comedy “Young & Hungry” (Freeform, 8 and 8:30 p.m.), about the romance of a tech entrepreneur (Jonathan Sadowski) and his personal chef (Emily Osment). After five seasons maybe they’re not so young anymore. A two hour movie will wrap things up more definitively.
A cheese soufflé is a risky task on “MasterChef” (Fox, 8 p.m. check local listings).
“Earth’s Natural Woners: Life at the Extremes” (PBS, 8 p.m.) looks at those who survive despite the odds.
The Power of Veto competition on “Big Brother” (CBS, 8 p.m.) may end up altering the nominations for eviction chosen by sam.
“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” (TBS, 10:30 p.m.) has too much to cover.
Top qualifiers from each division face off in elimination duels on “World of Dance” (NBC, 8 p.m.).
Kelly steps up and heads the trip to Nashville on “Ozzy and Jack’s World Tour” (A&E, 9 p.m.).
“Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back” (Fox, 9 p.m.) tries to help a dog-friendly restaurant in Wichita.
On a new “Suits” (USA, 9 p.m.), Harvey and Donna learn how Samantha works.
Mara looks for a woman trying to live in the past on “Reverie” (NBC, 10 p.m.).
“Sniper: The Ultimate Competition” (History, 8 p.m.) sounds like a terrible idea for a show.
Klaus seeks hep from Caroline on “The Originals” (CW, 9 p.m.)
Poor pursues his dream on “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” (VH1, 8 p.m.).
Frogs and pumas prance in “The Andes: Kingdoms of the Sky” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings).
“The Real Housewives of New York City” (Bravo, 9 p.m.) go shopping in Cartagena.
The team on “SIX” (History, 10 p.m.) are surrounded by the enemy.
“Seatbelt Psychic” (Lifetime, 10:30 p.m.) is getting messages from dead dogs too.
The two night focus on slavery in film on Turner Classic Movies ends with “The Foxes of Harrow” (8 p.m.), “Tamango” (10:15 p.m.), “Band of Angels” (12:15 a.m.) and “Mandingo” (2:30 a.m.).
Baseball includes Dodgers at Philadelphia (MLB, 12:30 p.m.), Arizona at Cubs (MLB, 3:30 p.m.), Minnesota at Toronto (MLB, 5 p.m.), Boston at Baltimore (ESPN, 7 p.m.) and Houston at Colorado (MLB, 10 p.m.).
Stage 17 of the Tour de France (NBC Sports, 9:30 a.m.) could be its most brutal. It runs from Bagnèrres-de-Luchon to Saint-Lary-Soulan.
