Ellen Gray's TV picks: 'UnReal,' 'Sharknado 3,' 'Wayward Pines' finale and more

* UNREAL. 10 tonight, Lifetime. What better chaser to ABC's "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" than this scripted drama that pulls back the curtain on a "Bachelor"-like series?

* UNREAL. 10 tonight, Lifetime.

What better chaser to ABC's "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" than this scripted drama that pulls back the curtain on a "Bachelor"-like series?

* UNSUNG HOLLYWOOD. 8 p.m. Wednesday, TV One.

The network's biographical series returns with new episodes, beginning with one on the late Bernie Mac that includes interviews with Chris Rock, Joe Torry and Mac's former Kings of Comedy tour mates D. L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer.

* HOME FREE. 9 p.m. Wednesday, Fox29.

* SHARKNADO 3: OH HELL NO!

9 p.m. Wednesday, Syfy.

We'll probably never recapture the magic of the first "Sharknado," which ignited Twitter a couple of summers ago, and nearly destroyed Los Angeles. This time it's Washington, D.C., that's experiencing the weirdest weather ever. Ian Ziering and Tara

* WAYWARD PINES. 9 p.m.

Thursday, Fox29.

The finale of M. Night Shyamalan's first TV show apparently involves a blackout, but not "The Sopranos" kind. Someone shuts off the juice in Wayward Pines, with disastrous results.
