Monday, 7/1

Goodwin Games (Fox; 7:30 pm CST). Series Finale.

Tuesday, 7/2

Inside Amy Schumer (Comedy Central; 9:30 pm CST). Season Finale.


Sunday, 7/7

Marvel's Avengers Assemble; Disney XD. 10 pm CST. Series Premiere.
It's a crime that the last Avengers show was cancelled so Disney could make their own version on their own channel, but I'll give it a try nonetheless.
