Bill Harris" TV must-sees for the week of July 17
1. Vice Principals
Debut
Danny McBride and Walton Goggins star as two vice-principals who are vying for the top job at their school. There"s a vacancy when the longtime principal, played by Bill Murray in a guest-starring role, is forced to quit due to family concerns. But how will the duelling veeps react if neither of them gets the promotion?
When: Sunday, July 17 on HBO
2. Ballers
Season-2 debut
Focusing on the lives of pro football players in Miami, this stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Spencer Strasmore, a former player turned financial manager who is trying to save today"s athletes from their own monetary recklessness. Andy Garcia joins the cast this season as Andre, Spencers business rival.
When: Sunday, July 17 on HBO
3. Power
Season-3 debut
James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) now is out of the drug game, owns some new nightclubs, and is in a rekindled relationship with his first love, Angela (Lela Loren). But just as James begins to believe that his former criminal persona finally is dead, he"s forced to realize that it isn"t so easy to kill a "Ghost."
When: Sunday, July 17 on Super Channel (Starz in the U.S.)
4. Degrassi: Next Class
Season-2 debut
The new campaign for this latest instalment in the Degrassi franchise picks up after the traumatic Snow Ball, which saw students enduring a frightening school lockdown. Meanwhile, friendly pranking takes a bad turn as the Degrassi girls volleyball team goes too far when retaliating against Northern Tech (boo, hiss).
When: Tuesday, July 19 on Family
5. BoJack Horseman
Season-3 debut
BoJack (voice of Will Arnett) is grappling with his legacy while galloping through an increasingly muddy Oscar campaign for his star-making turn in the Secretariat biopic. BoJack wants to believe he has made a lasting impact, but he isn"t sure. Sounds kind of like a drama, right? Um, no, that"s horse hockey.
When: Friday, July 22 on Netflix
6. Bones
Season-11 finale
This long-running series starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz has been granted an upcoming 12-episode 12th season to wrap things up. A solid performer such as this deserves a solid send-off. Anyway, as the 11th season concludes, the team attempts to find the "Puppeteer," which I assume is not meant merely literally.
When: Thursday, July 21 on Fox, Global
7. Looking: The Movie
Debut/series finale
This aired as a series for two seasons before getting axed. It was granted this movie to say farewell, although a Saturday in July isn"t exactly a marquee time slot. Nonetheless, after living in Denver for nearly a year, Patrick (Jonathan Groff) returns to San Francisco to celebrate the wedding of some old friends.
When: Saturday, July 23 on HBO
8. Ride With Norman Reedus
Season-1 finale
The final episode in this six-episode season is titled The Keys With Peter Fonda, which pretty much describes it. The Walking Dead"s Reedus travels by motorcycle from Naples to Key West, Fla., with Fonda, a 1960s counterculture icon. Fonda is 76 now, so safety first on the chopper, please.
When: Sunday, July 17 on AMC
9. Angel From h**l
Series finale
Remember how much publicity this Jane Lynch series initially received? Well, hype don"t hunt, as they say. The show was cancelled after only five episodes last winter, and CBS has been burning off the remaining episodes this summer, just to fill space. Back-to-back episodes will clip the wings. Angel out.
When: Saturday, July 23 on CBS
10. Between
In a desperate effort to see if the cure works, Liam (Steven Grayhm) and Wiley (Jennette McCurdy) must find someone who is about to turn 22. So let"s see now, in this day and age, where should the search begin for 22-year-olds? Um, how about in their parents" basements? OK, come on now, that"s funny.
When: Thursday, July 21 on City
