For decades a nexus of manufacturing, the labor movement and the immigrant experience, New York City’s Garment District (above) has been rapidly declining as more and more of the clothes we wear are produced overseas.

Showtime goes ballistic with the new reality series ‘Lock ‘n Load.’ From cops and kids to hunters and collectors, find out who’s packing heat -- and why -- when you meet Colorado gun-store owner Josh T. Ryan (below) and his varied clientele. (Showtime, 8 p.m.) THURSDAY
The downside of being a ventriloquist is that you spend all your time working with dummies. The upside is that you just might get your own TV show, like ‘The Jeff Dunham Show,’ featuring the comic and his coterie of wisecracking puppets. (Comedy Central, 9 p.m.) FRIDAY
Crime doesn’t pay . . . unless it does. In the new series ‘White Collar,’ a charming con artist (Matt Bomer) is buddied up with the FBI agent (Tim DeKay) who caught him to help the feds apprehend even more nefarious felons. Tiffani Thiessen also stars. (USA, 10 p.m.) SATURDAY
