TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE
"I Hate My 30s," 7:30 p.m., VH1. Vivica is obsessed with being a rock star, despite the fact that she's a bad singer and a worse songwriter. Now she enters a contest and her colleagues agree to be her back-up band. Meanwhile, two others are accidentally locked in a closet. It's another fun episode of what has been one of the best summer surprises.
"Color Correction" debut, 9:30 p.m., HGTV. Constance Ramos was an appealing presence as a designer on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." Now she's likable here as the central figure, with the emphasis on color choice.
"Bounty Girls" debut, 6, 7, 10, 11 p.m., Court TV. In sunny Miami settings, women track fugitives. Jenny Garcia keeps a close eye on her employees — and on her 20-year-old daughter, who has a string of traffic tickets. In the so-so opener, we see lots of arguments, plus a couple of solid captures.
