| 77 Sunset Strip |
EARLY PRIMETIME
Concentration 📺💲 (Buzzr, 7 p.m.): If you will watch this 1987 episode, then you will certainly be hopeful that some network will be ambitious enough to make a revival happen!
Doctor Who 📺 (Retro TV, 6 p.m.): The Doctor (Jon Pertwee) transports himself "sideways in time" to a parallel world, where an English drilling project causes catastrophic amounts of heat and force to be unleashed when it penetrates the Earth's crust. Save us Doctor!!
Frankie Drake Mysteries (Ovation, 7 p.m.): Frankie needs to decide which side detective Greyson is on, which I take to mean Team Edward or Team Jacob. Later, a famous diamond is stolen, so Frankie has gotta find it because... otherwise there's no show.
The Six Million Dollar Man 📺 (Cozi TV, 6 p.m.): Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) has disappeared while inspecting the Bull Frog gold mine in Nevada by request of his old friend Bert Carrington (Farley Granger). Million Colonel Steve Austin (Lee Majors) refuses to believe his friend and superior is involved in a gold-raid and decides to do some investigating. Titled "The Midas Touch," this episode doesn't sound like it is about the auto shop chain.
Welcome Back, Kotter 📺 (Antenna TV, 7 p.m.): In this two-parter of the network’s Kotter back to school marathon, the Kotters prepare for the birth of their baby (a big surprise awaits them in the delivery room) while the Sweathogs discover that Barbarino got left back in the 10th grade.

77 Sunset Strip 📺 (Decades, 8 p.m.): This weekend binge is comprised of the latter part of the series. Hired to investigate a robbery, Bailey (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) has one baffling lead: the theft was so perfectly timed – like a wartime commando raid.
Columbo 📺 (Cozi TV, 8 p.m.): A wine connoisseur (Donald Pleasence) kills his half- brother to prevent him selling the family winery to a merchant company so he can pay off his gambling debts. Help us, Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk). You're our only hope.
The District 📺 (Heroes & Icons, 8 p.m.): In this season opener, Mannion (Craig T. Nelson) fights for his life to figure out who's trying to kill him. The trail leads him to... Paris and... a government official!
Escape Room 🎥 (Starz, 8 p.m.): Did you remember this was a movie? Six strangers find themselves in a maze of deadly mystery rooms and must use their wits to survive.
M*A*S*H (IFC, 8 p.m.): Before he was Col. Potter, Harry Morgan guest starred as a general who is a stickler for rules... and maybe a little off his rocker.

V.C. Andrew's Heaven Casteel Saga: Gates of Paradise 🎥 (Lifetime, 8 p.m.): Chapter four! Orphaned and crippled, Heaven's daughter Annie is whisked off to Farthinggale Manor by Tony Tatterton. She pines for her lost family, especially her beloved cousin/half-brother Luke. Without the warm glow of his love, she's lost in the shadows of despair and forced into submission by Nurse Broadfield. This series is getting dark.
Walker, Texas Ranger 📺 (Cozi TV, 8 p.m.): In this season closer, there's a reunion of former Texas Rangers and a shooting competition with cops from all over the country, including a senator rumored to make a run for the presidency. The rest of the summary is long and I don't feel like summarizing it, but that first sentence says enough.
