What's On Tonight (Monday): Life goes on, and so does NCIS

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the 22nd season premiere of NCIS, "Empty Nest." I can only assume that with this episode, Parker will relocate to Miami, resume his long-dormant career as a pediatrician with a southern accented nurse, and share a house with his adult daughters and St. Bernard-golden retriever dog while a would-be lothario cruise employee drops in all the time. They'll share it all as life goes on.

Hey, is it any worse than the upcoming spin on The Golden Girls, with Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and Linda Lavin? Anyway, here's the listings for Monday, Oct. 14. All times are EST.
