The Collider Weekly TV Guide is a rundown of notable episodes, premieres, returns, finales, and opportunities to catch up on great shows (or cast an eye to the occasional TV train wreck). Check out our picks for the week of Monday, July 20th:

Wednesday 7/22

Life on the Reef (PBS, 8 p.m.) — Because sometimes you just need to escape by looking at beautiful things. PBS’s new special focuses on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and includes humpback whales giving birth, 20,000 green sea turtles returning to breed, and — somewhat oddly — fire destroying a luxury yacht. Anarchy on the reef!

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (Syfy, 9 p.m.) — The title says it all, but Syfy continues to capitalize on its improbably popular franchise with a third installment. This time, the East Coast comes under attack when shark storms hit from Orlando to D.C.
