The Walking Dead (AMC; 8 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.
The shit really hits the fan for the survivors-- and then AMC is going to make us wait a few months for the rest of the season.

And sometime tonight (I'm guessing 9 or 10 pm CST), Chelsea Handler's After Lately will debut its second season.  If you like Chelsea Lately, then it's must-see.  If you just like seeing coworkers humilate and ridicule each other, then it's a must-see for those reasons as well.
