What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Come on, come on! Feel it, feel it!

 

Courtesy People.

Tonight's Top Pick is the second season premiere of NCIS: Origins. Fun fact: that guy on the far left is supposed to be Mark Harmon in 1991. This particular episode is named "The Funky Bunch." Another fun fact: the guy second from right (playing a young version of Muse Watson) has already had several scenes where he's wearing just white briefs. I'm guessing-hoping that the episode title is indicating there will be another beefcake scene.


While I celebrate that my body is healthy and my rhymes make me wealthy, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Oct. 14. All times are Eastern.
