Screen Gems: TV the week of June 1

Screens01_plain_sightIn Plain Sight (10 p.m. Sunday, USA) -- Watching this new crime drama about the federal witness protection program, you can pretty much toss a coin about who you want to root for: the lousy murderous scum trying to hide out under new identities, or the lousy murderous scum trying to kill them for squealing. Well, there is that nice Mary McCormack (from The West Wing) playing a U.S. marshal. OK, problem solved.

Stonehenge Decoded (9 p.m. Sunday, National Geographic Channel) -- So that's how they did it in the days before The 700 Club and PTL! This documentary argues that Stonehenge was part of a giant Stone Age religious complex that attracted pilgrims from all over the known world.

Swingtown (10 p.m. Thursday, CBS) -- A nice young couple moves to the 'burbs and discovers everybody wants to give them coke and 'ludes and have sex with them. And, no, this new series isn't set in Florida. Molly Parker and Jack Davenport star, if that verb can be used in connection with a show that's practically guaranteed to make you stab yourself in the eyes with red-hot needles.
