Tonight's Top Pick is the premiere of The Day of the Jackal, which I cynically believe is Eddie Redmayne's attempt to go from an OT to an E_OT. Until just this morning, I was going to give the Top Pick honor to the second season finale of the Frasier reboot, but I don't like that a Christmas episode is coming out so early.
