What To Watch This Week

By: Jamie Steinberg

Monday:

Blindspot: Upon finding a hidden message found in a crossword puzzle in the New York Times, Patterson goes on a dangerous scavenger hunt to get answers. Meanwhile, Jane learns more about her mysterious former life. Intense drama and mysteries unfolding makes it worth the watch. (NBC, 10pm ET/PT)

Real Housewives of Dallas: It’s the premiere episode of the new series Real Housewives of Dallas. We’ve not seen any teasers as to what is to come this season, but the commercial has led us to believe that the bling and the beauty regimen can rival even the most “beat” (a/k/a made up) lady of all the franchises. They say everything is bigger in Texas. Well, we’ll find out. (Bravo, 10pm ET/PT)

Tuesday:

New Girl: We last left our girl Jess reconnecting with her former boyfriend Sam (guest star David Walton) at a school where she was hoping to work. After trying to make amends for their bad breakup, Sam can’t handle Jess’ NEED for closure and serves her with a restraining order. Let’s see if Officer Bishop has to handle some police business or if the roommates rally around Jess to get her closure. (FOX, 8pm ET/PT)

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Dealing with Pimento’s (guest star Jason Mantzoukas) life still in peril has Captain Holt calling in an old friend that has Jake seeing double. In the midst of this mayhem Amy makes a breakthrough while she’s undercover. If that’s not enough, Terry and Gina find an information leak in the precinct. Catch tonight’s new episode for some serious silliness! (FOX, 9pm ET/PT)

Wednesday:

Empire: The name says it all. Last episode we left off with the deaths of Mimi and Camilla, Jamal was dealing with public backlash from his sexuality, Hakeem was running Empire and Andre was having “visions” again. Need I go on? One can only imagine what tonight’s new episode has in mind for us musically let alone the lives of those involved in the Empire. (FOX, 9pm ET/PT)

Thursday:

Game of Silence: This new series premieres tonight and it follows five friends that have a dark secret they buried twenty-five years ago. They will come to learn that they can’t bury their past forever though. The show sounds like a mix of the timeless film Stand By Me and the serious drama Mystic River. Let’s see how it plays out… (NBC, 10pm ET/PT)

Rush Hour: With the movie made into a TV show, we find a new version of Carter and Lee teamed up to take on LA’s bad guys. In tonight’s new episode, a young graffiti artist is a witness to a murder of a police officer. It’s up to our dynamic duo to track him down so he can testify against a well-known criminal. (CBS, 10pm ET/PT)

Friday:

Hell’s Kitchen: The black jackets are back. Tonight we find the two teams finally merged into one. One man stands alone against a bevy of beauties. Now that the stakes are higher, can the cooks kick it up a notch and get noticed (for the right moves) by Chef Gordon Ramsey? Tune in to find out! (FOX, 9pm ET/PT)

Sunday:

Spring Baking Championship: Food Network features their seasonal series on Spring baking. On this show, bakers are tasked with making themed cakes, pastries and sweet treats. Tune in tonight to see what host Bobby Dean has in store for this week’s tasty treats. (Food Network 9pm ET/PT)

Mr. Selfridge: PBS has been killing it with its series based on the lives of Brits. Now in Season 4 of their hit series, we find Mr. Selfridge unable to cope with the loss of his mother. He’s covering his pain with gambling, girls (well, Jenny Dolly) and risky business. Meanwhile, Mr. Groove’s health scare finally leaks to his kids. Can reconnecting with former flame Ms. Mardle give him the peace he needs? (PBS, 10pm ET/PT)
