Prime Picks

Switched at Birth (ABC Family): New. Daphne isn’t sure what to do when many of the deaf students protest against extending the pilot program. Daphne gets chosen for the lead in the play. Plays again later. Last week’s episode, “Drive in the Knife,” replays right before.

The Following (FOX): New. Carroll’s true intentions are revealed. Hardy attempts to turn Emma, Jacob and Paul against each other. Replays Friday night.

Castle (ABC): New. Castle takes things into his own hands after the FBI fails to get his daughter back and learns that there may be something much bigger behind the abduction. Starts a minute after the hour and runs 59 minutes.

Solid Selections

The Carrie Diaries (The CW): New. Carrie is offered an internship by Larissa. George takes Carrie to a school dance.

Bunheads (ABC Family): Winter Finale. Michele auditions for a Broadway play in Los Angeles. Fanny and Scotty are back. Sasha thinks the girls need to take things to the next level with their boyfriends. Originally thought this was the first season finale, but ABC Family advertised it as the winter finale. Either way this is a weird way to end things, as it doesn’t really feel like a finale of any sorts. Hopefully, we will get some more. Whether it be a continuation of season one or another season. What say you?

Feherty (Golf Channel): Season Premiere. Golf personality David Feherty interviews golf legend Jack Nicklaus. Plays again later.
