8:30

Bob Hearts Abishola (CBS): "Nigerians Don't Do Useless Things" is the episode's title--and it is also a rerun of the show's very 2nd episode! (So you could just jump right into this one honestly since the first one was pretty much them meeting each other)

9:00

All Rise (CBS): Judge Lola is assigned to arraignment court for the week while Mark is assigned to the Charge Evaluations Unit for the week in this rerun episode from March.

Antiques Roadshow (PBS): 2nd Part of the 2016 visit to Charleston finds a Francis Somirrer astronomical regulated clock, an 1899 Oscar Wilde Manuscript, and a 1969 Rene Portosearrero Cathedral oil painting. (nods)
