What we're watching: The NLCS might continue tonight, in case of rain there is always House on Fox. There's NHL action on INHD as the Flyers face the Sabres, or a reheated episode of Criminal Minds filling the hole left by the cancellation of Smith. Speaking of cancelled series, we'll probably tune in to an HD rerun of last year's cancelled sci-fi show, Threshold.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.

Please, for the love of jeebus, watch "Veronica Mars". It's a wonderful noirish-mystery/drama show, they've semi-rebooted the series so that it's easier for people to jump in, and the lead character (played by Kristen Bell) is hot. Depending on how you uh, swing, they have had either Kristen Bell shaking her booty at a sorority party, or a male character streaking through a classroom. Fun for everyone!
I think the "Threshold" that's on INHD2 tonight is the movie, not the TV show...
The cancelled series Threshold just started a run on the SciFi channel. As such, my expectations would be that a HD version may very well happen on UnHD. Best guess is after the run on SciFi completes... but one never does know.
