SHARK TERROR: USS

Reelzchannel, 8 p.m.

It was the worst shark attack in history. While returning from a top-secret mission to deliver components for the atomic bomb during World War II, the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis, with 1,195 crewmen aboard, was torpedoed and sunk. The rapid descent of the fragmenting ship immediately took hundreds of trapped sailors to their deaths. For the surviving 900 sailors, the sinking ship was just the beginning of their nightmare. This special reveals the terrifying real-life story of the doomed cruiser and its crew as the surviving sailors faced four days of brutal sun exposure, dehydration and, worst of all, relentless attacks from countless hungry and aggressive sharks.

OUTLAW BIKERS

TCM, beginning at 8 p.m. Catch a Classic! Get your motor running with a triple feature of classic outlaw biker films. The lineup begins with one of the earliest in the genre, “The Wild One” (1953). Marlon Brando gives an indelible performance as long sideburns-sporting, leather jacketclad Johnny Strabler, the leader of a delinquent biker gang that takes over a small town, and who, when asked what he is rebelling against, famously answers, “What’ve you got?” Brando’s look and attitude inspired the youth of the early rock ’n’ roll era, and even had stars like James Dean and Elvis Presley adopting some of his style. It also went a long way toward helping “The Wild One” set the tone for outlaw biker movies to come, even the next two in tonight’s lineup, which both are from 1967 and are of the more exploitative variety of the motorcycle gang film genre from that era. In “The Glory Stompers,” Dennis Hopper plays a biker gang leader who abducts a rival and his girlfriend. Then, “Devil’s Angels” finds two rival gangs of bikers (one of whose leaders is played by John Cassavetes) battling each other after taking over a small town.

Always seeming to live in Kate’s shadow, Sam, for once, wants to come out ahead, and he convinces Maggie that, together, they can compete with Kate and make this Christmas the best one ever. Neither of them is adequately prepared for the blended family challenges that lie ahead — or the feelings they develop for one another.
