1) “The Equalizer,” 8 p.m., CBS. This excellent drama (shown here in a previous episode) won’t be back next season, so we should savor the reruns — today and at 10 p.m. Wednesdays. Today, Robyn tries to help a family that lost everything in a mysterious fire.

2) Wrestling, 8-10 p.m., NBC. In the old days, wrestling sometimes replaced “Saturday Night Live.” It’s not that extreme now; “SNL” starts its summer of reruns at 11:29 p.m. But NBC does have one of its occasional Saturday wrestling nights. In one match, John Cena, now a clever movie star, returns to the ring to face R-Truth.

3) More sports. On an overcrowded day, ABC has the United Football League at noon and 3:30 p.m. ET, and basketball playoffs (Oklahoma City-Minnesota) at 8:30. CBS has WNBA basketball at 1 and golf at 3. CW has NASCAR at 4:30 and beach volleyball at 8. There’s also baseball (7 p.m., Fox) and hockey (Carolina-Florida, 8 p.m., TNT).

4) “Mickey 17” (2025), 7:40 p.m., HBO. After winning three Oscars (including best picture) for “Parasite,” Bong Toon Ho went seven years before his next film. It has Robert Pattinson as a space-colony worker who is cloned each time he dies. Critics approved, but the box office didn’t match the big budget. A Jerrod Carmichael comedy special follows at 10.

5) More movies. Tim Burton’s brilliant “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005) is 3:40 p.m. on Freeform. And Sundance has John Belushi at his best, in two John Landis comedies — “Animal House” (1978) at 7:30 p.m. and “The Blues Brothers” (1980) at 10.
