Prime Picks

I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (ABC): Repeat. Linus and Lucy’s little brother ReRun spend the holiday hanging out with Snoopy and his brother Spike.

Burn Notice (USA Network): Season Finale. Things take a bad turn while trying to get one last thing to aid their disappearance, which leads to Jesse getting captured and worse for Sam. But, everything leads to a potential plan that could help them out of their predicament. Runs two hours. Plays again later. Very entertaining and action packed finale that leaves things in an interesting place to head into season seven.
