TV This Week

SUNDAY

Cue the cello: It’s a “Great White Invasion� and then “Jaws Comes Home� as Discovery Channel launches its annual “Shark Week.� And watch for “SNL’s� Andy Samberg when he visits a “Shark City� off the coast of the Bahamas. (9 and 10 p.m.; 9 p.m. Thu.)

We already miss the sadly canceled series “The Chicago Code.� But maybe we can make do with “Against the Wall,� a new police drama that also takes place in the Windy City. Rachael Carpani, Treat Williams and Kathy Baker star. (Lifetime, 10 p.m.)

MONDAY

The documentary “Koran by Heart� profiles three youngsters (like Rifdha, above) as they endeavor to recite, chapter and verse, the 600-page Muslim holy book at the prestigious International Holy Koran Competition in Cairo. (HBO, 9 p.m.)

TUESDAY

Go ahead, no one’s looking. “Take the Money and Run.� One hundred large, in a nondescript briefcase; stash it someplace safe. But beware: Real-life police detectives are hot on your trail, and then it’s finders keepers in this new reality competition. (ABC, 9 p.m.)

WEDNESDAY

It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. But you still gotta gas up, grab some grub and a beverage, and otherwise avail yourself of the facilities. And you can do all that and more at “Truck Stop, Missouri� in this new docu-series. (Travel, 10 and 10:30 p.m.)

THURSDAY

Mamma mia! There’s a Situation on the streets of Florence, Italy — and a Snooki, a JWoww, a Pauly D and the rest of your too-tan-for-their-own-good favorites when the hit reality series “Jersey Shore� begins a sojourn abroad for Season 4. (MTV, 10 p.m.)

FRIDAY

It’s like “Fringe,� for kids: The new animated TV movie “Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension� sends the cartoon cutups and their pet platypus Perry into an alternate reality where they encounter their own goofy doppelgangers. (Disney, 8 p.m.)

SATURDAY

Reese Witherspoon (below) plays the prettiest side of a romantic triangle — Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson being the second and third prettiest sides, respectively — in writer-director James L. Brooks’ uneven 2010 dramedy “How Do You Know.� (Starz, 9 p.m.)
