Prime Picks
Human Target (FOX): New. A district attorney looking into an organized crime family needs Chance’s protection.
Modern Family (ABC): New. Claire and Phil catch a bit of a snag in the Valentine’s Day plans. Jay takes Gloria out on her favorite holiday.
Cougar Town (ABC): New. Jules doesn’t want to be alone on Valentine’s Day. Runs 31 minutes.
Psych (USA): New. Juliet wants Gus to help her track down an old boyfriend. Plays again later. The previous two episodes replay in the morning.
Solid Selections
The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS): New. Christine gets jealous of Richard and New Christine and their new baby they are about to bring into the world.
Gary Unmarried (CBS): New. Gary is trying to do something big for Valentine’s Day, at least bigger than what Sasha is doing for him. Allison is trying to bond with her kids.
Criminal Minds (CBS): New. The BAU team is after a serial killer that is taking people out in public places and causing mass fear.
Leverage (TNT): New. The team sets out to take down a corrupt mayor, guest star Richard Kind (Spin City), but end up in the middle of a much bigger problem. Plays again later. This is part one of the two-part season finale. Part two airs next week. Tonight’s episode is great, but it mainly serves to setup next week’s outstanding conclusion to the season. Co-creator and writer John Rogers (@jonrog1) and executive producer and director Dean Devlin (@Electric44) have put together a great pair of episodes to close out the season with lots of twists and surprises. Even as great as it is though, it still hard for me to pick it over an unseen episode of Psych, which has been one of my favorite shows since it debuted.
