What's On Tonight (Sunday): Fargo gets justified

Fargo (via Tumblr)

Hi ya! Should Fargo be the Top Pick? You're darn tootin'! The last time Fargo was the Top Pick we were still at The AV Club. It took 3 years, but Fargo is finally on season four, and... it is better than season 3. Timothy Olyphant, a U.S. marshal, showed up last week looking for two escaped lady prisoners, one has a sister who runs a funeral home. The ladies robbed the Cannon Limited gang, but one of them ate a bad pie by a psycho nurse. It took a while, but the wheels are turning.

Elsewhere, Catherine of Aragon returns, Nicodemus interrogates John the Baptist, the tangoes in Halifax end, Dwight coaches dodgeball, the Simpsons discover Western art, the Belcher kids throw a basement party, there's a power outage in Britain, and Morgan makes a difficult decision.

You're mission, should you choose to accept it, is here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 11!
