Prime Picks
Leverage (TNT): New. The team goes after a restaurateur that is destroying others in his pursuit of fame and fortune. Plays again later. Last week’s episode replays earlier today.

Other Options
- Animal Practice (NBC): Series Premiere. This new comedy stars Justin Kirk (Weeds) and Tyler Labine (Reaper) as veterinarians. Kirk is great with the animals, but not so much with their owners. Plays again later. They recast the lead actress since the version of this that I saw, but the people saying the words weren’t the problem. So, unless they punched up the script as well, this is easily miss-able. When the scene stealing monkey is the best thing about your show, you’ve got a problem.
