New & Notes
Prime Picks
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC): Repeat. The death of a patient and the murder of a Park Avenue dentist seem to be connected in the episodes “Smile” from earlier this season.
Criminal Minds (CBS): Repeat. Recent series of murders shows similarities with a case from 20 years ago in rural Virginia, in the episode “Birthright” from earlier this season.
Men in Trees (ABC): New. Marin and Jack are back from New York and she finds out that Cash is worse than he let on and needs a kidney transplant. Ben’s new hockey player finally arrives in town. This is pretty much the only thing really worth watching tonight.
Solid Selections
America’s Survivor Swap Moment (The CWSABFOX): New. This hour of TV really sucks right now, as there is nothing solid about any of these secondary selections.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC): Repeat. A beautiful blonde is strangled in “Lonelyville” and Logan and Falacci are on the case, in an episode from earlier this season.
CSI: NY (CBS): Repeat. The team has to navigate a virtual world on the Internet to find the killer of a woman in real life, in the episode “Down the Rabbit Hole” from earlier this season.
Cable Choices
Good Eats (Food Network): Repeats. Alton gets a little toasted and then lets you in on the “Waffle Truth.” Both episodes play again later.
Ultimate Recipe Showdown (Food Network): Repeat. The “Cookies” episode from Sunday replays. The three categories are Chocolate Cookie, Spice Cookie and Desert Cookie Bar. The winner goes home with $25,000. Plays again later. There were some really good-looking cookies, but I think I really would have liked to try the Chocolate Cherry Chunk cookies.
Tyler Perry’s House of Payne (TBS): New. Two new episodes play tonight, with the first providing “A Shock to the System” and the second gets into some “Compromising Situations.” Two repeat episodes replay right before.
Other Options
- American Idol (FOX): New. Someone gets sent home after an hour of filler.
- Law & Order (NBC): Repeat. When a young boy and girl are found dead near a park, the detectives find it hard to get anyone to talk, because the boy had been the target and the girl was accidental, in the episode “Driven” from earlier this season.
