TNT is one of those networks that I’m always meaning to check out more but haven’t quite found the time. Their original programming certainly gets a fair amount of buzz, and I’m curious to see how shows like The Closer and Men of a Certain Age stack up against other basic cable fare.

Those two shows return with new seasons kicking off tonight (at 9:00 and 10:00, respectively).
And of course we must deliver the obligatory entreaty to watch VH1’s My Big Friggin’ Wedding at 10:00 as well.
And now, here’s tonight’s TV:
