As I was starting this review, a commercial for CBS' "Person of Interest" came on, a nice coincidence since like "Touch" (9 tonight, Fox), it too has a post-9/11 perspective.

"Person of Interest" sees the world post-9/11 through darkened lens; Big Brother is watching, we need a crusader to work against a machine that knows when our number is up, and yet the future is murky. "Touch" takes a more soulful view. It suggests that what's been lost in the last decade is what binds us.  It is a show about our need to connect, a near desperate need, and the ways we can and we do, whether we are aware or not.  Unfortunately, while I can get behind that idea, I can't throw my full support behind "Touch."

Filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky amended the documentary with footage from the release.

The Finder (9pm, Fox) - In the premiere of a new series about an eccentric, reclusive veteran with an uncanny gift for finding people and things, a teen asks Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults) to locate his father, who went missing after his plane crashed in the Florida wilderness. Based on "The Locator" novels by Richard Greener. Check out Adrienne's review.

Person of Interest (9pm, CBS) - The episode information simply says "Reese and Finch involve Carter in a case," so I guess that means Reese survived his gunshot wounds from the previous episode...

Have You Heard from Johannesburg (2am, UNC-TV) - This is a five-part Independent Lens series tracing the anti-Apartheid movement, which UNC-TV is not only showing at bizarre times but apparently also a little out of order. This is the best I can figure out: tonight you get Part 2, "The New Generation" (which also airs at midnight on 1/15 on UNC-MX). Part 1, "The Road to Resistance," airs 1/15 at 11 p.m. on UNC-MX. Part 3, "From Selma to Soweto," airs on 1/21 at 11:30 p.m. on UNC-MX. Part 4, "The Bottom Line," airs the day before, 1/20, at 2 a.m. on UNC-TV and again on 1/22 at 12:30 a.m. on UNC-MX. The final part, "Free at Last," airs on 1/27 at 2 a.m. on UNC-TV and again on 1/28 at 11 p.m. on UNC-MX. Clear?

Leave it to J.J. Abrams to distill post-9/11 paranoia and fear and turn it into great television.

In "Person of Interest" (9 tonight, CBS), Jim Caviezel is a former CIA agent with a mysterious past who ends up working for Michael Emerson, a scientist who has developed a way to see when crimes are going to be committed. The system lets them know who will be the victim, but not when or why. That's for Caviezel's character to unravel. Taraji P. Henson plays a cop trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

Caviezel channels Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry; he kick butts effectively and speaks with economy. Emerson is quirky and fastidious. This is the best odd couple of the season.

Abrams has hurt me before after developing a show with a great start ("Alias"!!). Please, please let this show stay as excellent as the pilot.
