Bob’s Burgers on Fox at 8:30pm ET. Fourth season winter premiere.

Blood, Sweat, & Heels on Bravo at 9:00pm ET. Series premiere. The latest in Bravo’s succession of shows featuring attractive ladies in nice clothing having endless lunches and cocktails together around the “jobs” they allegedly still hold.

Downton Abbey on PBS at 9:00pm ET. Two hour fourth season premiere. I’m morbidly curious to find out how the writers plan to punish the viewers this season. I doubt they’ll be able to make us hate them more than they did last season, but I’m certain they will try their best.

The Good Wife on CBS at 9:00pm ET. Fifth season winter premiere.

The Mentalist on CBS at 10:00pm ET. Sixth season winter premiere. The commercials seem to indicate that Agent Lisbon has been promoted to the FBI and they, somehow, let her bring her pet con-man with her. Hmmmm.

Genevieve Burgess doesn’t always watch soap operas, but when she does they have high production values.
