Plenty of good repeats on network TV for your viewing pleasure. Yet cable is the place to be for summer TV watching. See new episodes of The 4400 and The Dead Zone on USA. On HBO you will find new showings of Deadwood and Entourage tonight. I usually just wait until midnight and the latest episodes are available onDemand and I can watch them whenever. This is quite handy as I don’t have to TiVo anything and I can watch all the good stuff that is on tonight. What will you be watching on TV tonight?
