6 p.m. on TNT Movie: San Andreas
This hit 2015 disaster movie depicts the havoc that ensues following tremors along the title fault line in California.

The fine supporting cast includes Paul Giamatti, Archie Panjabi (The Good
Wife) and Ioan Gruffudd (Forever).

The showcase for prestidigitators comes to the end of its fourth season with “Of Mice, Men and a Kidd” — in which one of the acts evidently does involve rodents.

An encore episode follows.

A new episode called “The Executioner” takes paranormal investigators Amy Bruni and Adam Berry to the residence of a distressed homeowner.
