Monday:

 

The Voice: It’s another season of “The Voice” and we can’t wait! Each season seems to get bigger and better. This year, judge Christina Aguilera is back and Miley Cyrus will be advising the contestants. If that doesn’t make your jaw drop, then you’ll just need to tune in to see which new talents make it on Team Adam, Team Pharrell, Team Blake or Team Christina! The auditions may be blind, but our hearing works just fine! (NBC, 8pm ET/PT)

 

Gotham: “Gotham” is back and grittier than ever. Tonight we get to meet the iconic Mr. Freeze (played in the movies by Arnold Schwarzenegger). In this episode, we see Mr. Freeze (Nathan Darrow) attempting to take down Gotham’s current bad boy – Penguin. Despite his frosty demeanor, fans of the show are sure to give this new villain a warm welcome. (FOX, 8pm ET/PT)

 

Tuesday:

 

Shadowhunters: Bad Blood may be a crazy successful hit for Taylor Swift, but it is also the title of this week’s new episode. The Clave has found out about our fierce four’s (Alec, Jace, Isabelle and Clary) extracurricular activities, causing them to send some soldiers to observe the Lightwood siblings as they run the New York Institute. When The Clave representatives arrive, it’s clear that the Lightwoods can no longer tread lightly. If you’re looking to start your week off with serious mythology and mystery, catch this episode of “Shadowhunters.” (Freeform, 9pm ET/PT)

 

Married At First Sight: The season finale has arrived. We have already found out the fate of one of our couples, but what is in store for the other two? The first year of marriage is difficult for anyone, but having only met your spouse at the wedding and having just six weeks to see if you want to make it work – WOW! Tune in to see if the remaining romantics wish to see what the future holds for them as husband and wife or if they’ll be in need of a good divorce attorney. (A&E, 9pm ET/PT)

 

Wednesday:

 

The Real O’Neals: “We’re getting a divorce.” With these words, a chain reaction is set off and the life of a Chicago Catholic family changes drastically. We quickly find out the oldest O’Neal son is anorexic and the younger son is gay. Once the community finds out about these revelations, it sets off a chain of reaction that leads to a more honest way of life for this family used to sweeping secrets under the rug. (ABC, special 8pm & 8:30pm showing)

 

Supernatural: The boys are in deep. The Darkness is still lurking and seems to be rearing her ruthless head this week. After using the Rod of Aaron to save himself, Crowley is on the prowl thanks to Lucifer letting him off his leash (literally). With this former king of hell out and about (despite being sans allies), no good is sure to come of this. Can the boys take Lucifer down and save the world from The Darkness? You’ll just have to tune in and see if the boys and “baby” can keep saving the world. (CW, 9pm ET/PT)

 

Younger: Liza is brokenhearted once again. Being left out of Josh’s piece in the New York Times caused a stir amongst her friends and they took great joy in giving him a piece of their mind. This episode finds our girl wooing a perspective author for Imprint and possibly being wooed romantically by him. Is Liza ready to return to the single life? We’ll just have to see what happens. (TVLand, 10pm ET/PT)

 

Thursday:

 

The 100: All hell was breaking loose on the last episode of “The 100.” Clarke was tasked with determining the fate of Emerson with Lexa’s words of “blood must not have blood” ringing through her ears. Here we pick up with Heda Lexa still trying to maintain peace and order with the clans. Meanwhile, a flashback reveals a look into the darker past of humanity and how the world has come to its current state of disaster. (CW, 9pm ET/PT)

 

Grey’s Anatomy:

RIP Japril. Last week we watched beloved couple April Kepner and Jackson Avery sign their divorce papers. But we also had our jaws on the floor thanks to a baby bombshell – April thinks she’s pregnant. In addition to this delicious drama, this week we find Meredith reunited with the patient she performed her first surgery on as an intern. Plus, Maggie worries her hidden love affair with Luca has been discovered by Richard (her dad) and Arizona ponders jumping back into the dating pool. All I can say is, Shonda knows her drama. (ABC, 8pm ET/PT)

 

Friday:

The People’s Couch:

“The People’s Couch” is a voyeur’s look at others watching our favorite television shows. We all sit on our couch and have something to say about what goes on during our time watching the tube and this is a chance to get a look at what others have to say as well. While we don’t get to find out until the episode airs as to which shows the stars will be tuning in for, viewers are always guaranteed for a good giggle! (Bravo, 10pm ET/PT)

 

Saturday:

Saturday Night Live: “SNL” is back after a brief break with host Jonah Hill and musical guest Future. Always one to tickle your funny bone, Jonah Hill is sure to provide a worthy episode of your watching. And if you’re not familiar with Future, thanks to the Twitter ramblings of Kanye West last week we are assured he is a badass in the music biz. (NBC, 11:30pm ET/PT)

 

Sunday:

All Star Academy: Food Network fans get a mix of their favorite shows with this cooking challenge. Four network stars mentor home cooks in this battle royal. With a dash of “Chopped,” a hint of “Cutthroat Kitchen” and a pinch of “Worst Cooks,” find out what challenges face the teams this week. A color themed baking challenge brought down the frontrunner last week so now the top stop is anyone’s game. (Food Network, 9pm ET/PT).

 

Downton Abbey: It’s the end of an era. Lady Mary, Lord Grantham, Edith, Branson, Carson and crew take their final bow as we watch the series finale of “Downton Abbey.” We last left off with Mary wedding and Edith suffering a deep wound to the heart after telling her suitor she’s a mom. Lord Grantham was on the mend after an ulcer explosion and Lady Grantham was put in charge of the Board of Directors for the local hospital. Will we see our beloved Granthams and their fascinating employees get a sweet send off? Tune in for this grand goodbye. (PBS, 9pm ET/PT)
