Prime Picks
Human Target (FOX): New. A computer genius is being held hostage in a high security high rise and Chance sets out to rescue him with the help of Winston and Guerrero.
Modern Family (ABC): Repeat. The “En Garde” episode from earlier in the season replays, where the family is supporting Manny in his fencing competition. This is one of my favorite episodes of this show so far.
The Inbetweeners (BBC America): Season Finale. Will puts together a Christmas Prom with the help of some girls. Last week’s episode replays right before. Both play again later. Season two premieres next week.
Leverage (TNT): Season Finale. The team sets out to clear themselves and takedown the corrupt mayor and the gunrunner he has partnered with in the process. Plays again later. This is part two of the two-part season finale. Part one airs right before along with the previous two episodes. Would normally pick Psych just barely over Leverage, but tonight’s episode is the season finale and I really enjoyed it. It’s a great episode that left me wanting to see where they are going to go with the show in season three. Co-creator and writer John Rogers (@jonrog1) and executive producer and director Dean Devlin (@Electric44) have put together a great pair of episodes, both of which play tonight, to close out the season with lots of twists and surprises. What did you think of last week’s episode?
