Prime Picks
10 Things I Hate About You (ABC Family): New. Bianca is trying to get to a party she isn’t supposed to go to and Kat is trying to get her hands on a fake ID. Plays again later and late night tomorrow.
Ruby & the Rockits (ABC Family): Series Premiere. The daughter of an aging former rock star that he didn’t know he had until recently comes to meet him and he ends up asking his brother to let her live with his family. Plays twice and again late night tomorrow. The best I can say is that it was cute, but reminded me of a bad Saturday morning teen musical. Maybe it gets better, but I don’t think I will be sticking with it to find out.
Better Off Ted (ABC): New. Lem and Phil may have found the cure for baldness and Veronica’s rivalry with her father is getting out of control.
Scrubs (ABC): Repeat. In “My Soul on Fire Part 1” from this past season, has everyone messing up the Janitor’s plan to score some cash with a fake wedding to Lady.
Saving Grace (TNT): New. “Am I Going to Lose Her?” Plays again later.
Solid Selections
Eureka (Syfy): Repeat. Last Friday’s episode, “Your Face or Mine,” replays.

Other Options
