Rollin' down the river

On a new episode of "Booze Traveler," host Jack Maxwell explores imbibing on the Mississippi, which includes a stop at Minnesota's Winter Carnival Beer Dabbler along with the Schlafly Tap Room in St. Louis and a Cajun-style Mardi Gras in Louisiana.

Catch of the day

Tim Burton hasn't done much to dazzle me in the past 25 years, with one exception: 2003's "Big Fish" is a touching fairy tale with stellar performances by Jessica Lange, Albert Finney and, in her Hollywood debut, future Oscar winner Marion Cotillard.

Back on her feet

"Quantico" returns after a short break — and a minor scare. Star Priyanka Chopra was briefly hospitalized earlier this month after a fall on the set. The early word was that production may have to be delayed, but at this point, it doesn't appear as if the accident will keep the Bollywood star from showing up to work.

9:01 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5
