Solid Selections
Glee (FOX): Repeat. The “Duets” episode replays, where Finn and Rachel attempt to throw a competition so Sam can win. Runs 61 minutes.
Raising Hope (FOX): Repeat. The “Romeo and Romeo” episode replays, where Jimmy meets another single dad and wants to setup a play date. Starts a minute after the hour and runs 30 minutes. The Jimmy makes a phone call sequence in this episode is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TV this season.
Parenthood (NBC): New. Amber heads down a destructive path. Crosby goes to Joel for some help with Jasmine. Adam and Kristina overhear a conversation of Haddie’s and it puts a strain on their relationship with her.

- Body of Proof (ABC): New. A severed hand and foot is found and then they must find the rest of the body and why it was dismembered. Megan’s daughter wants to follow her around at work for a school project. Starts a minute after the hour and runs 59 minutes. While I don’t think this series is as good as it could be, this is the best of the episodes so far.
- Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen (Syfy): New. Marcel puts on a luau themed event for a business celebration. Plays again later.
- What Not to Wear (TLC): New. Stacey and Clinton must help a woman dress her age. Both play again later.
