5 Must-See TV Shows This Week

This is a hot week for television shows.  I'm canceling my plans and staying inside all week.  Here are five shows you need to watch:


Golden Globe Awards - Thin-skinned Hollywoodsters get their feelings hurt by Ricky Gervais for a second year in a row.  Tonight on NBC.


Alcatraz - Disappearing criminals reappear decades later in this J.J. Abrams series starring Hurley from Lost and the dude from Jurassic Park.  My guess is it's a great premise but will take awhile to get its footing.  Monday on FOX.


Justified - If you haven't watched this show yet, I implore you, nay, beg you, to watch it.  Honestly, it's one of the top five best shows on all of television.  The season premiere is Tuesday night on FX.  


Southland - The critically-acclaimed but ratings-impaired show kicks off its season on TNT Tuesday night with Lucy Liu joining the cast.


American Idol - You've probably never heard of it, but this little singing competition airs on Wednesday nights on FOX.
