Nightmares & Dreamscapes (TNT), debuts Wednesday, July 12 at 9 p.m. EDT): If summer reality shows just aren't, well, creepy enough for you, TNT is the place to turn. This four-week collection of eight Stephen King stories boasts top-tier actors, such as William Hurt and William H. Macy, getting their comeuppance in this world and a few others. The first episode, "Battleground," starring Hurt as a hit man suffering the consequences of murdering the CEO of a toy company, airs with no commercial breaks - or dialogue. You'll never look at a plastic action figure quite the same again. Grade: B+
