This is not the kind of episode you can watch in the background... and not just because it's ground-breaking.

Even if you don't watch Switched at Birth -- and frankly, you should, because it's a revolutionary teen drama that covers the deaf community and deaf culture to an extent we've never even almost seen on TV before -- tonight's an installment you definitely want to check out, given that it is entirely in American Sign Language and inspired by the real-life 1988 Gallaudet University protests. If you watch the series, you'll know that tonight is the big Romeo and Juliet premiere in the midst of Carlton getting shut down, which means sh*t is going down, y'all. Get a sneak peek here:

Switched at Birth airs tonight at 8 PM on ABC Family. For way less ground-breaking TV of note, there's also the series premiere of LA Shrinks on Bravo at 10 PM.
