The opponents in this year’s women’s final at Wimbledon have gotten there through very different paths. Marion Bartoli (seeded No. 15) has had a relatively easy time of it, getting to the finals without losing a set. On the other hand, and on the other side of the net, Sabine Lisicki (pictured), seeded No. 23, has battled hard to make it this far, coming back after being down 0-3 in the third and deciding set to beat both Serena Williams (the No. 1 seed) and, on Thursday, Agnieszka Radwanska (No. 4). Whichever woman prevails, it will be her first major championship win.

The Fourth of July weekend marathon continues. And today, beginning at 1 p.m. ET, AMC repeats Season 3, the shows in which the band of hardy survivors prepares to take to the road again – shifting from the farm to a potential new haven, a local prison.

The supernatural underpinnings of 666 Park Avenue have given way to some Da Vinci Code-like revelations about a mysterious group known as the “illuminati.” Ironic, since the series itself is about to go dark.
NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET
This series, too, was canceled and yanked quickly by its network, then brought back for a summer burn-off of episodes that were produced but not televised. This series, at least, is more interesting than convoluted – though, tonight, its plot has the hero getting involved in an uncomfortable romantic triangle. Why so uncomfortable? Because it’s with his girlfriend and his own sinister alter ego. Two's company and three's a crowd, all at once...
