What's On Tonight (Saturday): Ghost shark

The Ghost and Molly McGee

Corporate synergy! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, 8 July!

Our Top Pick tonight is the SharkFest-inspired edition of The Ghost and Molly McGee (Disney Channel & Disney XD, 8 p.m.). The animated series follows the adventures and misadventures of optimist tween Molly and the eternally pessimist ghost Scratch, who accidentally became tied to her when a curse backfired. It's an above-average odd couple series that's much more designed for youths than adults.

Elsewhere, Hallmark welcomes Christmas in July, it's the Dawn for Brec Bassinger, the case is made for 1982 being great, Sharks get Extreme, and Naruto unveils an identity.
