News & Notes

On cable tonight, ABC Family has the fifth summer season finale of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Sundance has the first season finale of Push Girls, and Travel Channel has the seventh season finale of Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern.

Prime Picks

Alphas (Syfy): New. Summer Glau (Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly) guest stars and helps the team figure out something about the Alpha-enhancing program. Plays again later two times.

Warehouse 13 (Syfy): New. Lewis Carroll’s mirror is stolen from the Warehouse and Alice escapes once again. Thefts at the Warehouse are investigated. Plays again later.

Grimm (NBC): New. Hank is trying to help an old friend track down his daughter and Nick investigates why she might have gone missing. Plays again Friday night.

Other Options

• Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives (Food Network): New. Hit the “Surf ‘n’ Turf Jackpot” with these restaurant profiles. Plays again later.
• The Inbetweeners (MTV): New. Simon gets his driver’s license and takes the guys to an amusement park to impress a girl. Runs 30 minutes. Plays again later. Last week’s premiere episode replays earlier tonight. This episode’s plot is right out of the original version, as was last week’s premiere. Which makes me wonder what I’d think of them had I not seen the original. So far am not impressed with this one. Don’t find it funny, but it could be because I’ve already heard the jokes and seen the situatuions.
• The L.A. Complex (The CW): New. Kal is dealing with a lawsuit. Raquel continues to manipulate her cast mates so she can look good. Show moves to lead off Monday nights to finish out the second season as of tonight.
• Major Crimes (TNT): New. A deadly car accident is investigated, but things aren’t going smoothly. Plays again later. Last week’s episode, “Before and After,” replays right before.
• Perception (TNT): New. Pierce helps out with a case involving a schizophrenic. Moretti attempts to impress her new boss. Plays again later.
