What To Watch This Week

By: Jamie Steinberg

Monday:

The Voice: It’s an all new season of this talented ridden show where contestants compete for the attention of our favorite blinded judges. This season has added Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys to the panel of judges and they have (so far) added a great deal of pizzazz and presence to the season. Let’s watch as some undiscovered talent finally gets the spotlight shown on them. (NBC, 8pm ET/PT)

Kevin Can Wait: Kevin James plays a recently retired police officer now dealing with the return of his college attending, recently engaged daughter. The fiancée has also moved into their basement. Tonight sees Kevin trying to assert his dominance around the house when his pals tease him that his wife calls all the shots around the house. Meanwhile, Kendra (our collegiate) enlists some help from her uncle in order to give her hubby-to-be a bit more toughness. (CBS, 8:30pm ET/PT)

Tuesday:

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Jake and Holt have gone viral. They were deep in Witness Protection when last week they were taped in a go-cart accident that was put online. When Jimmy “The Butcher” Figgis catches the video our dynamic duo begins plotting their attack. Unfortunately, when they are caught by local cops they get to find out what life is like on the other side of the interrogation table. Back at the 99 Precinct, a new Captain comes in to charge of our beloved motley crew. (FOX, 8pm ET/PT)

This Is Us: Yes, I recommended it last week, but it was such a moving pilot that it is worth recommending again. We have now learned that three siblings (a set of twins and an adopted brother) are making their way in the world with flashbacks to their birth and more. The depth and drama of the season premiere is enough to push on with this series and keep tuning in. (NBC, 10pm ET/PT)

Wednesday:

Survivor: Oh, it’s an interesting new season already. With Millenials vs. Gen-X there has already begun the great divide. Neurotic Dave has gotten on some nerves and with a new shomance on the horizon, neither team has found their new surroundings quite comfortable. Watch as the two teams battle it out to see if age truly comes before beauty. (CBS, 8pm ET/PT)

Code Black: It’s the season premiere of “Code Black” and we already have some new (handsome) faces on the staff. Rob Lowe joins the team and takes Dr. Leighton on quite a ride as the two head out in a helicopter to Malibu in hopes of saving some shark bite victims. Ouch. (CBS, 10pm ET/PT)

Thursday:

Superstore: While hoping to impress corporate, Amy accidentally puts her job in jeopardy. Also looking to make a good impression with the district manager finds Glenn acting like as a tough boss. Meanwhile, our favorite misguided employee Dina hopes to win over her fellow employees. Hold on to your nametag! (NBC, 8pm ET/PT)

Pitch: We watched as Ginny Baker took the mound for the first time in a major league game. We saw behind the scene where some teammates were less than accepting and some just needed a little push in the right direction. So, as we continue to watch Ginny make history in the world of baseball we are just going to grab some popcorn and maybe even a cold one as we cheer on this phenom. (FOX, 9pm ET/PT)

Friday:

The Exorcist: We have found our way into the TV version of the iconic film. Tonight we watch as Bishop Egan refuses to allow Tomas to perform an exorcism on Angela’s daughter. Father Marcus though has broken out of Saint Aquinas to help Tomas while also urging him to put his ex Jessica in his past. Adding to tonight’s drama is the growing relationship between The Rance family and the demon. Marcus finds Angela stealing holy water and offers to show her how to use it. Meanwhile, in Chicago’s South Side, news breaks out of a series of bizarre ritual killings. If you’re tuning in, grab your rosaries and say a pray. (FOX, 9pm ET/PT)

Sunday:

Quantico: Alex is back and badder than ever. She’s no longer a Quantico cadet, but a full fledged CIA agent after being fired by the FBI post Season One scandal. Tonight we watch as CIA agents run exercises at the farm while Ryan and Raina try to foil a terrorist plan. All in a day’s work… (ABC, 10pm ET/PT)
