Summer is here and that means another spate of Sunshine State murders on “The Glades.” While Detective Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) awaits acceptance of his marriage proposal to Callie (Kiele Sanchez), he must delve into a 150-year-old ghost story to solve a murder when the dead body of an heiress is found in a haunted house on a plantation. This season, Longworth will be dealing with everything from a zombie apocalypse to rum-soaked shot girls. Co-starring Carlos Gomez and Jordan Wall.

Undiluted Pryor
The first African-American to host “Saturday Night Live,” Richard Pryor, who died in 2005, was a controversial comic whose act touched on racism, profanity and other flashpoint topics. He won multiple Grammy awards, an Emmy for writing on a Lily Tomlin special and enjoyed great success as an actor in films such as “Silver Streak” and “Blue Collar.” His only television series was canceled after four episodes and Pryor refused to soften his edges for the network censors. In a new Showtime documentary, comics such as George Lopez and Bob Newhart discuss Pryor’s legacy. The comic’s widow, Jennifer, is an executive producer.

‘Walk the Line,’ Part 2

She had also had two marriages and children. When June falls in love with Johnny, she receives a true test of her character as she helps him fight substance abuse.

Picking through the trash
Cruising along South Florida’s Treasure Coast, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are eager to dig up some rusty gold. Lifetime collector Bill is tough as nails but eager to sell, and his stockpile includes an arcade machine gun and a rare puppet. Later, with a trio of vintage motorbikes in his living room, Pat’s staggering collection is a jaw-dropper. Mike falls hard for a rare 1910 Royal Pioneer, but balks at the exorbitant price tag. After a chilly reception at David’s motorcycle shop, Frank buys some cast-iron toys and the guys assemble a custom Chopper skeleton in five minutes flat. But Mike can’t get the Pioneer bike off his mind. That is, until he prepares to blow the biggest wad of cash he’s ever spent. With Danielle Colby.

Glasgow smile
Bau investigates a murder in which two victims’ faces are similarly mutilated — given a “Glasgow Smile.” For the first time, Will (Hugh Dancy) contaminates a crime scene thinking he committed the first murder and an MRI shows he suffers from advanced encephalitis. But Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen, right) intimidates the attending physician, Dr. Sutcliffe (John Benjamin Hickey) into telling Will he’s OK. Meanwhile, the team doubts Will who says, while revisiting the crime scene alone, he saw a mysterious woman (Ellen Muth) who may be involved. With his fears fed by Hannibal, Will returns to Dr. Sutcliffe for more mental health tests, when the doctor is murdered.
