What to Watch on Wednesday: NBC premieres 'Bent' sitcom

Criminal Minds (9pm, CBS) - The BAU searches for a kidnapper after an emaciated boy is found in an Arizona desert and another boy disappears.

Bent (9pm, NBC) - Here's what NBC does whenever they get a good new comedy: they barely promote it and then burn off the episodes really fast. I hope this isn't what they are doing with "Bent," but it sure feels like it. "Bent" is about a super chill contractor dude (David Walton) who tries to charm a newly divorced, high strung single mom (Amanda Peet) while he and his crew work on her home. Also stars JB Smoove, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jesse Plemons, who played Landry on "Friday Night Lights."  Episodes air at 9 and 9:30. Note: The other two funny NBC sitcoms that never got a decent chance -- "100 Questions" and "Perfect Couples" -- also starred David Walton.

Happy Endings (9:30pm, ABC) - As much as I'm getting behind "Bent," I do not condone skipping "Happy Endings" at 9:30!! Tonight, Dave becomes the target of a bully at his gym, so onetime bully Alex coaches him on how to work out his problems.

Psych (10pm, USA) - Shawn and Gus team up with members of Gus' former a cappella group to investigate the shooting of a prominent leader of an at-risk youth group.
