By: Jamie Steinberg

Monday:

Houdini & Doyle: Magic fans this one is for you! The series premieres tonight and we get the origin story of how Harry Houdini, magician extraordinaire, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author, team with Scotland Yard to solve inexplicable and unsolved crimes. Think “Supernatural” mixed with “Grimm.” Plus, it’s from the creators of “House” so there is bound to be snark at a maximum. Whether you have read Doyle’s books or you are familiar with Houdini’s magic, this first episode is not to be missed! (FOX, 9pm ET/PT)

Tuesday:

The Flash: When Zoom arrives back on Earth-1 he has his sights set on taking over Central City. Barry and Wells team up to figure out a plan to stop him, but their idea is extremely dangerous. Not sure if the risk is worth taking, Barry seeks out his father’s advice. While his father opposes the idea of Barry putting his life at risk, Joe has faith that he can handle it – putting the two men at odds with one another. Meanwhile, Cisco gets a shock when he sees that Earth-2 villain Rupture is the spitting image of his brother, Dante. It seems Rupture has come to Earth in order to seek justice for Reverb’s death. Uh oh! Putting the cherry on top of the episode though is Iris seems ready to share her feelings for Barry. Could this mean the hero finally gets the girl? Tune in! (The CW, 8pm ET/PT)

Person of Interest: Tonight marks the monumental premiere of the long awaited new season of Person of Interest. We pick up our beloved Reese and Finch attempting to rescue the Machine’s source code to salvage it before it deteriorates beyond repair. Root also has her hands full as she is fighting for her life against a vast array of Samariatan’s agents. Poor Fusco is also faced with some hard questions from the deaths of Elias and Dominic. Try and sit still for this incredible drama! (CBS, 10pm ET/PT)

Arrow: Felicity and Oliver seek out a magical solution in order to defeat Darhk. Diggle, who is dripping with vengeance, locates a lead on Andy’s location and runs off to find and face him.

Catfish: The internet has always been an interesting place and that’s why I love this show. Each week we find out who is behind some of the most interesting relationships and what their motivations were for forming these bonds. This week we find Paris enlisting the help of Nev and Max to help find out who it is that has catfished her for the last four years. As the investigation gets deeper, our duo discovers Paris may know more than she is letting on. (MTV, 9pm ET/PT)

Saturday Night Live: Brie Larson. The actress won an Oscar for her work in the film Room, but before you saw her in drama she was in a number of comedies and TV shows (“United States of Tara” anyone?) Tonight she hosts the show for the very first time with musical guest Alicia Keys. I’m expecting this episode to hit a high note! (NBC, 11:30pm ET/PT)

Bob’s Burgers: Boy Band fans, this one’s for you! Precocious Louise hears that a member of Tina’s favorite boyband Boyz 4 Now is leaving the group so she enters a contest that could give them a chance to meet him.
