Tonight there are plenty of repeats worth checking out, especially if you missed them the first time. “If you haven’t seen it then it’s new to you,†as they say. Whoever they are, I don’t know but they sure say a lot of stuff. At any rate if the NBA Finals or comics competing doesn’t float your boat then check out NCIS, The Unit, Gilmore Girls or either of the House episodes, as each of them was very good the first time around.
