Solid Selections

NCIS (CBS): New. DiNozzo’s father, guest star Robert Wagner, comes for a visit and gets involved in the case, causing Gibbs to question DiNozzo’s ability to do his job.

NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS): New. A convict that has been recently released is murdered and Callen goes undercover using an old alias for the investigation.

Southland (TNT): New-peat. A rookie cop deals with his training officer. Other detectives are looking for a missing girl. This is the series premiere episode that played last Spring on NBC, but extended and will play commercial free. Plays again later. I don’t particularly care for many of the storylines, but I do really like the rookie cop/trainer story. Really wish that were what the show was about. Even though I don’t like the other stories much, the actors are all really great. I also don’t particularly care for the documentary style filming.

Other Options

  • Chopped (Food Network): New. Four chefs that came in second return to take a second shot at winning the prize. Plays again later.
  • Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel): New. Mike farms some crickets. Plays again later. A repeat episode replays right before.
