Must See HDTV (July 15th - 21st)
USA Network is returning some summer favorites over the next few days with the season premieres of Suits and Covert Affairs, while MLB's All-Star events are also in full effect. Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.
Blast Vegas
Did last week's social media phenomenon Sharknado catch you by surprise? Set your DVR ahead of time for Syfy's next so-bad-you-have-to-tell-someone flick, Blast Vegas. Like the network's made for TV movies always do it combines a terrible plot (spring breakers unleash an evil curse) and a TV star from years past (Frankie Muniz), check out a trailer after the break.
(July 18th, Syfy, 9PM)
Axe Cop / High School USA
Fox is launching a new "Animation Domination High Def" block this weekend for content ported from the internet to TV, with Axe Cop and High School USA carving out 15 minutes each on the schedule. Parks & Rec's Nick Offerman voices the title character in Axe Cop (do we have to explain what he does?), while High School USA! features the voice talent of Mandy Moore and is the creation of Dino Stamatopoulos, aka Star-Burns from Community.
