Friday 4 “Bad Sex” (LOGO 10 p.m.) What goes on behind the closed doors of a sex therapy group? Less interesting things than you’re capable of imagining is my guess.

Next up: Love’s Repetitious Sequel . “Natural Born Dealers” (Planet Green 8 p.m.) Planet Green finally gets around to producing its own “buying and selling people’s old junk” show.

Monday 7 “The Witch Doctor Will See You Now” (National Geographic 8 p.m.) Explorer Piers Gibbon travels to the ends of the Earth to dig up traditional remedies like snake blood or goat blood or virgin blood. … Huh, a lot of these seem to involve blood. Tuesday 8 “Vietnam in HD” (History 7 p.m.) Wow, it’s so realistic, it’s like I’m having a PTSD-induced flashback! Wednesday 9 “The 45 th Annual CMA Awards” (KOAT-7 7 p.m.) Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts, Lionel Richie, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and … wait a minute. Who invited Lionel Richie? “Prophets of Science Fiction” (Science 7 p.m.) Ridley Scott (director of Alien , don’t ya know) hosts this new series concentrating on science-fiction visionaries who predicted future innovations.
