What's On Tonight (Tuesday): No point in pretending, all my Top Picks this week are CBS shows

 

Via Giphy.

I'm just so glad to have a full lineup of programming (yes, even The CW's stuff) to cover! Tonight's Top Pick is the seventh season premiere of FBI. "Abandonned" will be the 114th episode, keeping FBI at No. 4 for CBS' longest-running current scripted dramas. It's behind NCIS, Blue Bloods, and S.W.A.T.


While I wonder how I'd look in one of those FBI vests, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Oct. 15. All times are EST.
