There are two new shows sprinkled into the usual Monday night mix, (Dispatches From Elsewhere on AMC, and something called Breeders over on FX) but first this is What's On Tonight for March 2nd 2020
8:00
The Neighborhood (CBS): CBS is once again in rerun mode this Monday night (they gotta order more episodes of their Monday night shows next season!) as we have an episode from the tail end of September here that finds Grover getting bullied at school while mom Gemma is torn between doing the right thing as principal and doing what's right as mom; Cedric encourages Marty to stand up to the bully that resides in his life but is surprised to learn that said bully is actually Cedric himself. (Whoa!)("I ain't no bully, I'm your father!")
The Voice (NBC): Blind Auditions Part 3! (More singing, more chairs turned around!)
9-1-1 Lone Star (FOX): Owen, Michelle, and the 126 crew race to a rattlesnake infestation of a young family's home; Owen adopts a firehouse dog that has cancer (Awww); Michelle finally learns the truth behind her sister's disappearance; and a traffic accident shakes the team to its core. (To Its Core?!?!?!?)
The Bachelor (ABC): 17 of the women return to confront Peter and each other; a dramatic feud is revived; Peter must face the scrutnity of the women he sent packing home; a look at some bloopers. (shrugs)
All American (The CW): Spencer goes against Billy's wish and goes around him to get what he wants (which is???); Olivia and Asher are both guilt ridden for different reasons when it comes to Billy and the position he now finds himself in (which is????); Layla continues to help Coop with her music but might have her own selfish motivations for doing so (which are????)
Antiques Roadshow (PBS): For some reason this show is also in rerun mode tonight--tonight we have two back to back episodes both of them from April of 2018 that have the show in Portland Oregon---"A Heller in Pink Tights movie prop; a Lincoln inscribed photo circa 1860"
The 9 o'clock episode meanwhile has "a 1942 Oregon State jacket and a Rose Bowl Trophy; a Ming Dynasty cetaden bowl, and an Evel Knievel 1967 leather!"
A Novel Romance (Hallmark): Your Hallmark Channel Movie of the Evening is this one where "A best selling romantic novelist unknowingly falls in love with her harshest online critic" Starring Amy Acker (!!!!) and Dylan Bruce.
8:30
Bob Hearts Abishola (CBS): The one from January where Bob tries to point out to Abishola how unhappy her son seems to be, and tries to reach out to him to find out what if anything he can do. (It was a fairly cute one, it was nice of the show to remember that Abishola had a kid since he seems to politely leave the room whenever the show cuts to a scene set in Abishola's apt)
9:00
All Rise (CBS): In a rerun from November, Judge Lola and Emily clash over whether it is appropriate or not to have the 11 year old daughter of a man on trial testify as a witness at her mom's murder trial; Luke accompanies Mark on a road trip to Vegas to pick up a witness who is being held in a county jail. (I actually saw this one! The Vegas road trip side plot is fun, Mark is very, very, very certain that Vegas has a way of seeping into people's consciousness---he's a reformed gambling addict so he knows of what he speaks)
Prodigal Son (FOX): A rerun from last month that finds Malcolm getting involved in trying to solve a series of murders based on The Count of Monte Cristo and involves the guests of an upcoming posh high society wedding. (I also saw this one, it was decent enough!)
Black Lightning (The CW): After learning that Gravedigger that the Markovians are coming to attack Freeland, the Pierce family prepares for war. ("The Book of War--Chapter 2") ("Is Wayne Brade gonna have to choke a bitch???") (You see Wayne Brady plays Gravedigger who's all roided up)
Better Call Saul (AMC): Jimmy's business enters uncharted territory; Kim's confidence is tested when she's faced with a legal problem only she can solve; Nacho navigates increased pressure from Gus; Mike continues to spiral. (The episode is titled "The Guy For This")
The New Pope (HBO): Sofia sets out to bring an ashamed Brannox back to the Vatican; Warned by Bauer of the church's demise, Voiello is called upon to make things right and later mourns a tragic loss (aww); the nuns appeal to an unaccommodating Assente. (Damn You Assente!)
American Pickers (History): In Illinois, Mike and Frank comb thru a mind blowing historic mcrvia (Its so mind blowing--I can't even read my writing here); in Kansas City Danielle brokers a deal on the mother of all burlesque collections.
Brain Games (Nat Geo): Top Pick tonight goes to this unexpected Key & Peele reunion as both Tiffany Haddish and Jordan Peele join host Keegan Michael Key to play games that show how Hollywood pros manipulate our brains to make us feel emotion while watching movies. (Seriously how is there a Key & Peele reunion happening and its going weirdly under-promoted???)
Beyond the Unknown (Travel): A religion icon scratched by the forces of evil; the incendiary tale of a woman who met with a bizarre fate; a blood sucking beast; a flesh eating creature known as The Shark Ape. (Sure Jan)
Gomer Pyle (MeTV): His cooking skills put him in line for an assignment to the mess hall
Followed as usual at 9: 30 by Green Acres where "Harvey sues Oliver over a rainmaking dispute during a drought" (Wha???)
10:00
Bull (CBS): Concluding its night of reruns, this rerun from October finds Taylor asking Bull to represent her friend in a civil suit against a real estate mogul who groped her in a nightclub. (And now would be a good time to remember to try and separate the character from the actor)
Manifest (NBC): In the wake of a devastating tragedy, Ben tries to connect with a despondent Olive; Michaela questions Jared's loyalties; Saanvi shares a medical breakthrough that could change the course of all of their lives. (Or and hear me out now, it might not!)
The Good Doctor (ABC): A pateint with a mysterious and undiagnosed illness that has baffled other docs over the years forces Shaun and the team to take some big risks; Dr. Brown and Dr. Melendez continue to navigate their feelings for one another. (Wait i thought the two of them were not gonna be doing a whole love story here--the whole appeal of them is that they're emotionally bonded but not in love! Ahh forget it tv writers only know how to tell one story between men and women apparently)
Breeders (FX): This brand spanking new show stars Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard (and also Michael McKean!!!!) is about the challenges facing a married couple--Paul and Amy as they try to juggle both full time careers and two young children, aging parents, a mortgage and upheavals in their relationship. (That is not very descriptive synopsis writers) Its supposed to be a comedy about "Parental Fails" Soooo maybe it'll be funny??? Its created by Chris Addison who is a British comedian who was on "The Thick of It"
Dispatches From Elsewhere (AMC): Also premiering tonight (well technically it premiered last night but its moving to its regular night tonight post Better Call Saul) is this brand new show that looks intriguing starring Jason Segal, Sally Frield, Andre Benjamin, and Richard E Grant ---"The game continues as Simone and Peter follow their clues and explore the city; The gang discovers that the game runs deepter than they thought; and they have to make an important choice" (How is different than Lodge 49 again???)
McMillion$ (HBO): Focusing their attention on Dwight Baker, the FBI intercepts a call with Uncle Jerry that leads them to capture evidence of a game piece exchange, the FBI works overtime to launch a coordinated cross country day of indictments. (Sounds Heavy Doc!)
Pawn Stars (History): They check out some vintage horse equipment, a rare Pee Wee Herman scooter, a seller comes in looking for an offer in his signed poster from the TV show Bonanza, a first edition of the classic book To Kill A Mockingbird (The ep is titled "Pawnanza" HA!)
Beyond the Unkown (Travel): Another episode???? A dealdy pharoah's curse, the truth behind a secret operation to sell phony art to the Nazis. (Again with the Nazis???)
11:00
Briarpatch (USA): Continuing to be burnt off is this mystery show that has "Breadknife Weather" (that's the title of the episode) and it has "Sad thing funerals" as its episode description. (Is USA just not giving out descriptions of its episodes as well here or what???)
Midnight
Carter (WGN): And lastly this evening we have this Jerry O'Connell light-hearted comedic mystery show now airing in its customary late night time slot for some inexplicable reason as Harley, Sam, Dave, and Lillith work to solve a mystery down at the local curling club. (The episode is titled "Harley Wanted To Say Bonspiel")
HAVE A GREAT START TO THE WORKWEEK ONE AND ALL!!!!
