Tonight on the Tube: Repeats, Independence Bowl, Holiday Bowl and NBA Basketball

Your choice tonight is to pick your favorite repeat or pick something you have never watched before and give it a shot. If the two-hour comedy block on NBC fits that bill then I highly recommend you check it out, as each episode is pretty good. For something new you can check out the first season finale of the comedy My Boys on TBS. For the sports fans out there you will find three doubleheaders tonight. There are a couple of college football bowl games, a couple of college basketball games and a couple of NBA games.
