TV Worth Watching

"Sharknado: The 4th Awakens" (Sunday on Syfy at 8 p.m.)
OK, this looks awful, but "Sharknado" flicks always do; it doesn't matter, though, 'cause the must-watch element comes from the reactions on Twitter. They are priceless. This time, Syfy allowed the audience to vote online to decide whether Tara Reid's character, April Wexler, should live or die. (#AprilLives or #AprilDies) Get the results July 31, when Ian Ziering returns as Fin, alongside Stacey Dash, Vince Neil, and ... Chippendales dancers. Here's the official synopsis: "The fourth installment of the 'Sharknado' franchise picks up with Fin and his family living in relative bliss five years after the devastation that occurred on the East Coast. But all that's about to change, when the sharknado menace returns in totally unexpected places and ways."

"Preacher" (Sunday on AMC at 9 p.m.)
The Season 1 finale is already here. Episode 10, "Call and Response," follows Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) as he hopes to "follow through on his promise to obtain answers from heaven; the entire town waits with bated breath." After this episode, AMC is airing another "Talking Preacher" post-show to analyze the finale (like they did for the premiere). And then fans will have to wait with bated breath for Season 2, which has already been renewed with 13 episodes in 2017.

"Boston EMS" (Saturday on ABC at 10 p.m.)
This unscripted medical documentary returns to follow Beantown's first responders. The men and women of the Boston emergency medical services stay calm when dealing with disasters and mayhem, although you may freak out a bit when watching them in action when Season 2 starts June 30.

"Teen Choice 2016" (Sunday on FOX at 8 p.m.)
John Cena and Victoria Justice co-host this year's surfboard awards show, honoring the best in the biz, according to teen voters. Check out the full list of 2016 nominees.
