Call the Midwife; PBS. 7 pm CST (check local listings). 3rd Season Premiere

The Walking Dead (A&E; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
It's been an especially slow (but worthwhile) season, so I'm pretty apprehensive about what the season finale will be like (and, you know, after last week's episode, I'm wondering if they will write an even more gut-wrenching ending).

Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe; ABC. 7 pm CST. Special.
In lieu of an Agents of SHIELD episode this week, we get a peek into the MCU.
Hopefully it'll be more than fluff because this is an amazing story about a studio that took a big chance with some (at the time) B-level characters and tied them together to make something astounding.

Storage Wars; A&E. 8 pm CST. 5th Season Premiere.

Rizzoli & Isles (TNT; 8 pm CST).

Chopped; Food Network. 8 pm CST. 20th Cycle Premiere.

After they nearly destroy the Earth, humanity has moved to space stations surrounding the planet. Now, after nearly a century, they're wondering if the planet is inhabitable again, and to find out, they send 100 juvenile delinquents down to check it out.
I'm guessing things won't go well as it's a series and not a movie/mini-series...

Doll & Em; HBO. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Dolly Wells and Emily Mortimer star in this comedy about a movie star who hires a friend to be her assistant.

Believe; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
J.J. Abrams brings us another TV show (does that dude ever sleep?); this time, he's got the help of co-producer-- and pilot director-- Alfonso Cuaron (you know: the guy who just won the 2014 Best Director Oscar).
This series follows a ten year-old girl who has mysterious-- and uncontrollable-- powers.


Tuesday, 3/11

Lady Sif (again played by the awesome Jaimie Alexander as she did in the Thor films) joins up with Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (ABC; 7 pm) to stop a rogue Asgardian.
I just listened to the Nerdist podcast she was on last week, and she's great fun. I love that she's a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Vice; HBO. 10 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
One of the things I miss most after giving up HBO is this show.

This documentary looks into the zombie craze, where it came from, and why it's so popular now.
