Everyone's a critic

I'm not sure how they can hold "The Fourth Annual Critics Choice Awards" without consulting me. Maybe my ballot got lost in the mail. Or maybe it's because host Cedric the Entertainer, left, wouldn't get an award from me, unless it was for his outstanding collection of hats. 7 p.m. WUCW, Ch. 23

Rookie patrol

Before heading out to a theater to see "22 Jump Street," reacquaint yourself with the complexities of the franchise by re-watching 2012's "21 Jump Street," the unlikely hit that proved Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are one of film's most romantic couples. 7 p.m. FX

Tough love

Twin Cities comedian Tommy Ryman is stayin' alive on "Last Comic Standing,"which is fortunate enough to have its best panel of judges since the show's inception. This week, the survivors are mentored by Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer, two stars who aren't known for their gentle nature. This could get brutal, folks. 9 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11 Neal Justin
