Tonight, Lynch shows up on "Psych," as Chief Vick's sister, in an episode titled "There Might Be Blood."

Mission to Mars
Comcast. Free Movies

Brian De Palma's big-budget throwback to the innocent, campy sci-fi of the 1950s. More shipshape than trail-blazing, its plainness helps nudge it into guilty-pleasure territory as it tracks a rescue mission after all but one crew member of the first mission is mysteriously wiped out. Tim Robbins, Gary Sinise, Don Cheadle, and impressive Red Planet visuals are the stars. (PG-13; runs through Aug. 28)

Joan of Arcadia
8 p.m., Sci Fi

And God said to Joan, "Rest easy my child, canceled shows can live forever in the corners of cable TV." And Joan said to God, "Thanks, Dude. But . . . the Sci Fi Channel? I'm a spiritual coming-of-age drama, right?" And God said to Joan, "Chill. Sci Fi isn't just for geeks. Repeats of your show will air every Friday night, and all kinds of viewers will find it." Pictured: Christopher Marquette and Amber Tamblyn.
