Other Options
- Continuum (Syfy): Repeats. The first three episodes of the season replay tonight. The first three episodes of Being Human S.3 replay right before and the first three episodes of Lost Girl S.3 replay right after.
- Do No Harm (NBC): Series Premiere. A renowned neurosurgeon deals with his alternate personality, as the medication he has been using to suppress it stops working. I very much like the premise, which is basically a take on Jekyll & Hyde. Not everything works, but I did enjoy this episode enough that I want to see more. It’s worth checking out, but is also the fourth best choice in the time slot.
