The Gambler, the Girl, and the Gunslinger 9 p.m., Hallmark

I love titles that just tell it like it is, no mystery or creativity getting in the way.

Allison Hossack is Liz Calhoun, Dean Cain is Shea McCall (above), and James Tupper is B.J. Stoker.

Hung Tomorrow at 10 p.m., HBO

Thomas Jane is fine as the man who decides to sell his body to make money to support his family. But the show, which airs its second episode tomorrow, belongs to Jane Adams.
