Prime Picks

Eureka (Syfy): Repeat. The “Ex-Machina” episode from last week replays, where the town holds a memorial service for Holly.

Eureka (Syfy): New. Carter and Allison have their romantic outing ruined by a submarine mishap. Jo is dealing with some pranks at Global Dynamics. Plays again later.

Teen Wolf (MTV): New. Scott attempts to keep Derek from creating more werewolves. Allison officially begins her training. There is another victim of the unknown creature. Plays twice. The previous two episodes of the season replay right before.

Other Options

• Bunheads (ABC Family): Series Premiere. A Las Vegas showgirl impulsively marries a guy and moves with him to the small town on the California coast where he lives. Plays twice. I very much enjoyed this show and if you liked Gilmore Girls, I think you will enjoy it too. Yes, it does revolve around ballet and has a funny name, but it really is quite engaging. The dialogue draws you in from the very beginning and the show just breezes by. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this one going forward. Definitely will be interested to hear your thoughts on the show.
• Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives (Food Network): New. Some “Serious Sandwiches” are profiled. A repeat episode follows and three other play earlier in the night. All five play again later.
• Lost Girl (Syfy): New. A woman’s dead husband’s body is stolen from the grave and she comes to Trick for help. Plays again later.
