Best-bets for June 10: hockey, Harry and a fun game

1) “The 1% Club,” 9 p.m., Fox. Amid a summer surge of noisy game shows, this one stands out. It has clever questions, slick exchanges between host Patton Oswalt (shown here) and contestants, and a good concept: This starts with 100 people, then drops them as the questions get increasingly difficult. It’s a bit vague at times, but mostly just fun. Read more…

2) “Harry Wild” season-finale, 9 p.m., BBC America; also at www.acorn.tv. It’s been an erratic season – sharp in some episodes, lame in others – but ends well. The show concocts a way to get everyone involved: It’s the wedding day for Glenn the barkeep, just as a new crisis appears. That gets settled too easily – a common “Harry Wild” problem — but it’s fun along the way.

3) Hockey, 8:30 p.m. ET, ABC. Here’s the second game of the best-of-seven finals, with the Edmonton Oilers at the Florida Panthers. The Panthers reached the finals last year, but are still grasping for the first championship in their 31 years. The Oilers had a stretch when they reached the finals six times in eight years, winning five times. That ended in 1990; this is only their second finals since then.

4) “All American,” 8 p.m., CW. This show is continuing with new episodes in the summer and – in a surprise – will return next season. Tonight, Spencer and friends may need to help the high school’s “Romeo and Juliet” production. Jordan and Leyla get news about their wedding venue; also, Coop makes a risky move.

5) ALSO: Wrapping up its new episodes for now, “The Weakest Link” has a bird trainer, a gym teacher, a landlord and more. That’s 10 p.m. on NBC, following “American Ninja Warrior” try-outs at 8. And at 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies has “Psycho” (1960), an Alfred Hitchcock film that’s both creepy and brilliant.
