Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, September 28. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Daily Show With Trevor Noah (Comedy Central, 11 p.m.): Jon Stewart said his final farewell on The Daily Show back in August, and the show returns tonight in its new iteration, hosted by Trevor Noah, who has assured Daily Show viewers that the program will retain a lot of its voice and mission but adds the perspective of a relative outsider to American politics. Noah’s Daily Show will have a bit more of an international perspective than Stewart’s, and we’re very eager to see how he fares behind the Daily Show desk. Tonight’s first guest is Kevin Hart.
Regular coverage
WWE Monday Night Raw (USA, 8 p.m.)
Gotham (Fox, 8 p.m.)
Life In Pieces (CBS, 8:30 p.m.)
Minority Report (Fox, 9 p.m.)
Blindspot (NBC, 10 pm.)
Elsewhere in TV Club
The A.V. Club speaks to Fred Savage about his return to television as well as Maura Tierney about how she loves Veep just like the rest of us.
What else is on?
The Voice (NBC, 8 p.m.): Night three of the Blind Auditions commences. Let’s see if a country artist actually chooses someone other than Blake Shelton as their coach.
Scorpion (CBS, 9 p.m.): Scorpion takes a trip to Cuba!
Switched At Birth (ABC Family, 8 p.m.): Daphne and Mingo introduce their parents to each other, but whoops, apparently there was some bad blood there that they didn’t know about.
Awkward (MTV, 9 p.m.): Tamara is still fake engaged in the season’s most nonsensical storyline. So Jenna throws her a fake engagement party.
Faking It (MTV, 9:30 p.m.): Faking It pays tribute to Breakfast Club when the whole gang gets detention. Last week’s guest star Dilshad Vadsaria does not appear to return for this episode, though, so what’s the point?
Castle (ABC, 10 p.m.): It’s part two of Castle’s two-part season eight premiere! This time, we see everything from Beckett’s point of view.
Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants (ABC Family, 8:30 p.m.): What happens when one pair of pants implausibly fit four teenage girls with different body types? Five books and two movies—which is practically six seasons and a movie!
Edge Of Tomorrow (HBO2, 5 p.m.): What’s not to love about watching Emily Blunt shoot Tom Cruise in the head repeatedly?
The Cabin In The Woods (Syfy, 9 p.m.): Tequila is my lady! This is a very good film that deconstructs torture-porn films, but for some reason, that’s the line we always think of when we think about this movie. This film also ruins mermaids.
It’s Monday night, so there is football
Chiefs at Packers (ESPN, 8:15 p.m.)
In case you missed it
Once Upon A Time: Oh no, the out-of-control Disney show is back. Gwen Ihnat is all over that dark premiere.
