Prime Picks
Rizzoli & Isles (TNT): Repeat. Last night’s episode, “Gone Daddy Gone,” replays.
Raising Hope (FOX): Repeats. The “Everybody Flirts…Sometimes” episode and the “Sleep Training” episode replay.
Sons of Anarchy (FX): Season Premiere. The guys get out of jail and return home and have to deal with new law enforcement and a shift in business alliances. Runs 92 minutes. Plays thrice. I am not one that thinks that last season was so bad, as I quite enjoyed it. But, tonight’s fourth season premiere is freaking fantastic and returns the show to what made it so great in seasons one and two. The story of last season needed to be told, but I’m glad we get back to what was the major driving force of the first two seasons. It starts with an outstanding pre-opening credits sequence of the guys getting out of jail and gets better from there. So much happens and you won’t want to miss it. Also, don’t forget to enter for your chance to win one of three copies of Sons of Anarchy Season 3 on DVD.
