8pm, Fox
Gotham
"Selina Kyle" finds the future Catwoman ensnared
in a child-trafficking ring, which Gordon and
Bullock set out to foil. Elsewhere, Oswald's
journey back to Gotham is a grisly one.
8pm, CBS
The Big Bang Theory
In "The First Pitch Insufficiency," NASA asks
Howard to do the ceremonial honors at a Los

that he and Amy are the better couple.
9pm, Fox
Sleepy Hollow
Ichabod and Abbie's cunning plan to rescue
Katrina involves reviving Benjamin Franklin's
Frankenstein-style monster, as all the soundest
plans do. In plotlines that somehow don't involve
the misbegotten creations of the Founding
Fathers, Jenny butts heads with the town's new
sheriff, and Frank lands in the soup after
divulging the details of his demonic run-in.
DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE, 9pm, HBO
The 50 Year Argument
Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi directed
this chronicle of the New York Review of Books,
featuring remarks from co-founder and editor
Robert Silvers. Contributors to the prestigious
literary publication—including James Baldwin,
Joan Didion, Gore Vidal, and Susan Sontag—also
weigh in through interviews and archival footage.
9pm, CBS
Scorpion
"Single Point of Failure," surprisingly, is not an
episode about my online dating profile. [rimshot]
[tugs on bowtie] No, but seriously, you've been a
great crowd. Please enjoy this episode about the
Scorpionites rescuing the governor's daughter
from a deadly "bio-hacking" virus, which we'll all
let CBS continue pretending is a thing that makes
sense.
SEASON 7 PREMIERE, 10pm, ABC
Castle
In "Driven," Beckett awaits news of Castle's fate
after his catastrophic car crash. Will the lead of
the show, for whom the show is named and who
is played by the show's most marketable actor by
a country mile, somehow manage to survive?!
SEASON 6 PREMIERE, 10pm, CBS
NCIS: Los Angeles
What's this? Callen and Sam trapped by
terrorists? Stranded on a sinister submarine that's
setting its sights on San Diego? Can Hetty track
them down in time and vanquish the villainous
vessel? Tune in to "Deep Trouble, Part II' and find
out—same NCIS:LA-time, same NCIS:LA-
channel!
10pm, NBC
The Blacklist
"Monarch Douglas Bank" is next on the Blacklist,
and does anyone else think these people's
nicknames are getting needlessly complicated?
Wait, what? It's an actual bank, but one that's
corrupt and criminally destructive? Shouldn't that
be on a whole other lengthy list of its own?
10pm, PBS
