Lifetime spends primetime working through Rizzoli & Isles from the start

Lifetime’s Wednesday is a good night to start a series from the beginning. Rizzoli & Isles opens at 7pm with its first episode and runs through primetime: Boston Strangler Redux at 8pm, Sympathy for the Devil at 9pm ET/PT (8pm Central), then two more after 10pm. The 9pm hour is the pick, the first of the run to land at full length at 63 minutes.

The show ran seven seasons and 105 episodes, a police procedural with Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander in the leads. Earlier, at 5pm and 6pm, the channel airs two season seven episodes, which is an odd order: the end of the series first, then its start.

Castle is the other crime series on the day, from 12:01am and again at 2pm, picking up at season three. Against Rizzoli & Isles at 9pm sit Alaska State Troopers on A&E and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on ABC.
