TV picks for Aug. 5: 'Hot in Cleveland,' 'My Life Is Murder,' 'Bachelor in Paradise'
"Hot in Cleveland," the sitcom that reminded us that Betty White is a national treasure, may have been canceled four years ago, but that doesn't mean viewers can't still enjoy the nostalgia-fueled laughs with its veteran cast recruiting past co-stars for guest appearances. Have fun spotting the familiar faces in these classic repeats.

Warrior detective
Lucy Lawless' character in "My Life Is Murder" is much more vulnerable than Xena the Warrior Princess, but she makes up for being Chakram-less by hurling wicked one-liners. The Australian mystery series doesn't bother too much with whodunit. It's more invested in watching its star flirt and finagle her way to the truth.

Coming up roses
There doesn't seem to be much passion for the latest season of "The Bachelor" — but don't give up on love for the franchise just yet.
