If you prefer television that puts something into your brain instead of cutting something out, there are three worthy documentaries all airing on Tuesday, November 14.

3 Lbs. joins Grey’s Anatomy in the sexed-up hospital genre: plenty of sin, skin, and scalpels.

With the final installment of Prime Suspect, Helen Mirren says good-bye to her greatest role.

A documentary about Daniel Pearl and his murderer charts a tragic collision between two surprising men.

If they weren’t in New York to begin with, you can bet that this gang—the Japanese salaryman who teleports, the Indian genetics professor with a superpowers theory, the Las Vegas stripper with a guardian-angel doppelgänger, the beat cop who hears what people think, the high-school cheerleader who can walk through fire, the male nurse who can fly, and the drug-addicted artist who is painting the horrific future—would wind up in this city together.

We’ve been here many times before, with a whole family on the run, although this time, at least, it has nothing to do with the witness-protection program.

Men in Trees is Northern Exposure Lite—and it’s not the only new comedy that’s depressingly familiar.

Don’t miss executive producer Salma Hayek’s hilarious guest appearance in the pilot, as a sexy maid in a Spanish-language telenovela.

However much executive producer J. J. Abrams is actually involved in this tedious series of interlocking melodramas—and rumor has it that the mastermind of Lost keeps his distance—it’s still not enough to make us care.
