Prime Picks

Community (NBC): New. Jeff and Shirley are bonding over foosball. Annie claims that someone broke in and stole Abed’s limited edition Dark Night DVD after she accidentally breaks it.
Parks & Recreation (NBC): New. Leslie, Ben and Chris have to finally deal with what is going on.

Bones (FOX): New. Multiple boxes full of remains are found in the dead letter section at the post office. Booth gets some bad news from his grandfather and Brennan tries to help him deal with it. Tina Marjorino returns as Agent Genny Shaw. This is a very good episode that gives David Boreanaz lots to work with. It was weird to watch Brennan attempt to be the empathetic one after hearing the news, but I’m just going to go with whatever comes for her from now on, however inconsistent her character’s growth is.

Burn Notice (USA Network): New. Sam has a surprising reunion. Jesse and Fiona are on a financial errand to the Cayman Islands. Plays again later.

Other Options

  • Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (ABC): Repeat. The animated holiday classic replays.
  • The Office (NBC): New. Robert California is looking for a job for his wife at the office. Maura Tierney guest stars as his wife.
