What's On Tonight (Sunday): Mystic quest

Mystic

I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 19!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season premiere of Mystic (UPtv, 8 p.m.). This New Zealand teen drama import, based on the Pony Club Secrets books (no relation to Chappell), begins its 3rd and final season. The series follows a group of horse-loving teens and their efforts to save their peninsula from industrial development. There's also some supernatural element. Tina Belcher would watch this.

Elsewhere, Melissa Roxburgh is Hunting, secrets always Call the Heart, the Witches make a stop, Heroes find emptiness, a Killer calls Lifetime, and CBS goes Square.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
