Off the Wall is just happy to be nominated.

UNSCRIPTED ASSORTMENT

You've heard of flash mobs? Now come flash musical numbers, when "Real Life: The Musical" (Saturday night at 10, OWN) helps ordinary folks pull off extravagant song-and-dance wedding proposals and more. Steve Austin hosts "Redneck Island" (Saturday night at 10, CMT), a sort of "Survivor" competition for the you-might-be-a-redneck crowd. "Figure It Out" (weeknights at 7, Nickelodeon) revives the '90s game with new kid stars from "iCarly" and "Big Time Rush." Trading up toward more valuable things are "Barter Kings" (Tuesday at 9 p.m., A&E), representing "the thriving subculture of cashless trading." And then there's the irresistibly titled "World's Worst Tenants" (Tuesday at 10 p.m., Spike), following eviction specialists as they eject the likes of fight clubs and marijuana growers. Sneak peek at spike.com/shows/worlds-worst-tenants.

MINIS FROM ENGLAND

They're still doing limited series with regularity there. Alan Cumming makes a splash in "The Runaway" (Saturdays at 10 p.m., Ovation), playing a drag performer who comes to the rescue of a young woman fleeing crime and abuse. "Thorne" (Tuesday-Wednesday 9-11 p.m., Encore) delivers gritty murder investigation starring David Morrissey, the "Sense and Sensibility" star now playing the Governor on "The Walking Dead."
