I’m posting this from my phone, since my power is out again. But, once it’s back I will post today’s picks here. I was about 15-20 minutes away from doing so when the power went out. I wanted to post something, so if you are reading this via email you can click on the title later today and hopefully find the full picks posted. If you are reading this via RSS or on the site itself, then check back later as well.
Basically, the Prime Picks are in the title. The Finder has a much better second outing and I am interested to see what happens on Person of Interest with Carter being more involved.
What show are you most looking forward too tonight?
Update 2:30pm: Looks like it may be awhile until we get power back. It’s the fifth day out of the last six that it has snowed here in the Seattle area, which is both causing the power outages and hindering getting them fixed. Hoping it will be back on by in the morning.
Update 4:14pm: Turns out the power came back on much sooner than anticipated, so below you will now find today’s post for what’s worth watching tonight on TV:
