With May sweeps and the TV season behind us, Fox offers a peek, or at least half a peek, at their fall schedule. The network repeats the pilot for the buddy-cop parody “The Good Guys” (8 p.m., Fox) that will air on Fridays at this time in the fall.

A goofy parody of shows from “Starsky & Hutch” to “Nash Bridges,” this action comedy is best appreciated for actor Bradley Whitford’s deviation from type. His husky, boozy character, Dan, is stuck in the 1980s and a far cry from the urbane wonk he played on “The West Wing.”

Co-star Colin Hanks is in a more familiar role as the buttoned-down nerd assigned to babysit Dan’s crazy man. He played a similar role in the underappreciated 2008 comedy “The Great Buck Howard” when he portrayed the overwhelmed assistant to a has-been magician (John Malkovich).

Fox hopes that with repeated airings, “Good Guys” will catch on. The pilot was not seen by a large audience.

Speaking of unwatched dramas, Fox also airs an unseen episode of “Past Life” (7 p.m., Fox), a series many of us had left for dead. In this boring, confusing and preposterous police procedural, detectives solve crimes by interviewing “witnesses” who saw their own killers and who have subsequently been reincarnated into new people.

Confused? Believe me, it’s actually worse than it sounds. Time for “Past Life” to walk into the bright light and move on.

• Memorial Day weekend begins early on TCM. The classic movie channel will showcase war movies and films about veterans and POWs over the next three days. Tonight’s highlights include Billy Wilder’s 1953 drama “Stalag 17” (7 p.m., TCM), the 1963 favorite “The Great Escape” (9:15 p.m.) and director David Lean’s 1957 epic “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (12:15 a.m.).

Tonight’s other highlights

• A ghost from Sleepy Hollow loses his head on the just-canceled “Ghost Whisperer” (7 p.m., CBS).

• East Dillon’s homecoming is an eye-opener on “Friday Night Lights” (7 p.m., NBC).

• History offers a mini marathon of their survey course “America the Story of Us” (7 p.m. through 10 p.m., History). With a big budget, they should have sprung for the missing comma in the title.

• A college football team crashes in the Himalayas only to encounter a monster in the 2008 shocker “Yeti” (8 p.m., Syfy).
