EARLY PRIMETIME

Batwoman (The CW, 8 p.m.): While Gotham busies itself reacting to Batwoman's awkward encounter, Alice celebrates her ultimate act of vengeance. Sophie seeks advice about her love life from someone unexpected. TBH, I've forgotten where we stand with the stories for this show. Also, this episode is titled "How Queer Everything Is Today!"

Howards End (PBS, 8 p.m.): This miniseries aired a couple years ago on Starz, but PBS started bringing it (and most importantly, Hayley Atwell) to us commoners last week. It was the WOT Top Pick back on 8 April 2018. In the second episode, in the wake of Mrs. Wilcox's death, her family is further thrown by her final request regarding Howards End. Elsewhere, the Schlegels facing eviction. Will I continue to list this in WOT? TBD.✔️

Supergirl (The CW, 9 p.m.): It's a bottle episode! Well, probably not really. It is titled "The Bottle Episode." The subsequent complications from the Crisis leave Supergirl to face a chaotic threat. I'm gonna guess it's too much Barry. Dammit, Barry, you have your own show to star in! Unless they are doing a musical. OH, BARRY AND KARA STAR IN A LIVE EVENT MUSICAL FOR THE CW! First instinct: The Music Man. Or Once. Or Waitress? I have no idea if the latter is good.

🕙 EASTERN / 🕘 CENTRAL
9-1-1: Lone Star (Fox, 10 p.m.): SERIES PREMIERE. Finally!!! A revival of the uber short-lived drama Lone Star. Oh, wait... This isn't that. Dammit. Firefighter Rob Lowe leaves New York to move to Austin, Texas, with his son to help rebuild a firehouse from scratch. Big East Coast city boy moving to Texas, there will be drama. And if you look at the cast, it is as diverse as you can get. Plus unrealistic scenarios. BINGO!✔️
Avenue 5 (HBO, 10 p.m.): SERIES PREMIERE. From the mind of Veep's Armando Iannucci comes this space comedy. When a malfunction occurs aboard the luxury space cruise ship Avenue 5, it's up to engineer Lenora Crichlow to warn Capt. Hugh Laurie, owner Josh Gad, and his right-hand woman Suzy Nakamura that the incident may have a cataclysmic knock-on effect. Zach Woods also stars (because I'm sure some WOTers really care about him). So... this has nothing to do with Avenue Q? Also, this reminds me of the Doctor Who episode "Voyage of the Damned," which reminds me how much I love Kylie Minogue. I'm getting off topic.✔️
Body Language 📺 (Buzzr, 10 p.m.): In the 1980s, there was the CBS program Body Language, aka Charades: The Game Show with a little word gamery, too.
