The deadline for Girls’ second season approaches
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Sunday, March 17. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Girls (HBO, 9 p.m.): Better get your final thinkpieces in and your last angry tweets queued up, because you’re running out of Girls season two to get all worked up about. And that’s fitting, because Hannah’s also running out of time to write that damned book. If she needs help, Todd VanDerWerff can ghostwrite it for her—he’s going to need a place to put all the thoughts pouring out of his head once Girls goes back on hiatus.
REGULAR COVERAGE
The Simpsons (Fox, 8 p.m.): Did you know that Mr. Burns has always wanted to be a superhero? Neither did Robert David Sullivan until he read that last sentence, and now he’s combing through 22 seasons of back episodes to determine if Burns’ superpowered ambitions have received a mention before tonight.
Once Upon A Time (ABC, 8 p.m.): Following last week’s consequence-laden episode, Regina vows to finish Mary Margaret off, once and for all. Oliver Sava suggests she avoid poisoned fruits—that’s so 19th century.
Revenge (ABC, 9 p.m.): In the least-foreboding of ostensibly foreboding developments, Victoria and Conrad start a charity. Carrie Raisler doesn’t think you should donate to the cause, because might end up paying… with your life!
The Walking Dead (AMC, 9 p.m.): Zack Handlen’s already-filed review opens with an exclamation of “Huzzah for focus!,” so this episode must devote most of its time to either the prison folks or the Woodbury camp. Either that or Zack’s celebrating the end of shaky camerawork that only he’d noticed before.
The Good Wife (CBS, 9 p.m.): Alicia and Will must use some creative thinking when a legal monkeywrench in the case of the week restricts them to three questions per witness. In turn, David Sims will attempt to sum up the entire episode in the space of three sentences.
