What's on your HDTV: 'Sharknado,' 'MADtv'
This week it's the Democratic Party's turn to convene.
Apparently Syfy has some Shark Week jealousy, as it's leading up to the debut of Sharknado 4 with a week full of shark movies. That's one alternative to the prime time DNC coverage on the networks this week, but also of note is the return of MADtv on CW. Gamers can try out a preview of We Happy Few on Xbox One, or DLC arriving for Fallout 4 or Minecraft: Story Mode. On Blu-ray, viewers can see Criminal in Ultra HD, or check out the entirely-filmed-in-first-person Hardcore Henry, and Netflix premieres the movie Tallulah. Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
