The good news is for some reason Fox picked up Rosewood for a full season by ordering the back 9 episodes. Chances are they did this because all their other new shows have proven to be ratings disappointments even though they are all better than the cop show. Which proves placement matters. If only Grandfathered, The Grinder or Scream Queens got the timeslot before Empire, they would be doing better. Oh well.
The bad news is that after 6 years, Rookie Blue was cancelled. At least the show went out on a high note with Andy’s wedding and not a cliffhanger. Personally, I am sad to see this summer show go away. It wasn’t game changing television, but it was something fun to watch during the TV season hiatus. Oh well, at least there is still Mistresses. Who is watching that crap anyways?

Tonight at 8p on ABC, The Muppets have a night out. When Miss Piggy finds out the staff of Up Late are going out without her after the show, she makes Kermit the Frog have them ask her to join them. She says she doesn’t want to go, she just wants to be asked. So when they ask her, she says yes. Now, they are stuck doing Karaoke with her. Turns out she is a lot of fun. Too much fun. She tells them they don’t have to be at work until the afternoon and now that night’s show is in jeopardy. Will Kermit be able to save that night’s show or will it be a disaster?
He isn’t the only one having a bad day, Fozzie the Bear accidentally hits one of the audience members with a T-shirt from a T-shirt gun. When the audience member is taken to the hospital, Fozzie is wrecked with guilt and can’t go on.
What will happen to Up Late tonight? You will have to tune in to find out.

Then at 8:30p over at Fox, The Grinder is all about coming forward with the truth. When Stewart (Fred Savage) and his wife Debbie (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) go to watch Ray Donovan, they find out that someone erased it from the DVR. Immediately they blame the kids (Hana Hayes and Connor Kalopsis) for erasing it, but both of them deny it.
All of this reminds Stewart of the time when he was a teenager and he was accused of breaking a window that he knows Dean (Rob Lowe) broke, but Dean still denies it even after all of these years.
So for the rest of the episode, it is who said game. And by then end of it, you will know who did what. Think you know who did what? You could be wrong, so tune in to find out.

Then at 10p over on NBC, Chicago Fire is back. The episode picks up where the season finale left off. Casey (Jesse Spencer) is missing and no one knows where he is. Now, they are looking for him. Will they find him before it is too late?
Besides dealing with that. They get a new recruit (Steven McQueen), someone gets demoted, they tackle some of their toughest calls and someone will quit.
It is a lot to deal with in an hour, but that is why this show is on fire.

The fall season is not even three weeks old, and two shows already know their fate for the season.
NBC’s breakout hit Blindspot had its future signed in ink because they gave the procedural a full season order. While that show got an additional 9 episode order, Minority Report had its order cut by three. Even though they are filming 10 episodes, I wouldn’t expect them all to air on Mondays after the World Series over.
John Stamos wanted to see what the writers of his new hit show Grandfathered were up to and I don’t think he liked what he discovered. They were playing darts. What wrong with that, we all need to release stress every now and again? Well, they were using his face for the dartboard.
I can’t wait for Lifetime to do the Unauthorized Grandfathered Story, so we can we find out what provoked that. They already have their John Stamos from their Full House movie, so they should be ready to go ASAP. Plus, they can get Drake Bell to play Josh Peck. Bullseye, right?
And talking about instant hits, don’t forget to check out Grandfathered on Fox tomorrow and every Tuesday at 8p.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yfU3H_Htbk Bones and Sleepy Hollow are back with new seasons tonight on Fox starting at 8p and both shows are back on track.
Bones picks up 6 months after the season finale. Booth (David Boreanaz) and Bones (Emily Deschanel) are enjoying their retired life and their brand new son. Even though they don’t have daily jobs, Booth is doing some freelance work, training FBI agents, and he starts off the episode going to work.
The Jeffersonian gets a call to investigate a murder. A body was found badly burned in a building, and they can’t identify the person but they do discover a gun attached to the remains. When Angela (Michaela Conlin) checks out the gun’s serial number, she discovers it belongs to Booth. Not only that, the body has a lot of similarities to him. Is it him?
Bones returns to The Jeffersonian to help look over remains and determine if it is her husband. While everyone else is trying to get to bottom of it.
Some things will be answered tonight and some will be answered during next week’s conclusion to this 2-part exciting and emotional story.

Then at 9p, Sleepy Hollow picks up 9 months later. Crane (Tom Mison) returns to Sleepy Hollow from his soul searching trip, just in time for another horseman to ride into town. He has been imprisoned by immigration and Mills (Nicole Beharie) bails him out. She has been working for the FBI since he left. When they hear that something is going on in Sleepy Hollow, the Witnesses get back into action.
Who is haunting Sleepy Hollow? We will have to tune in every week to find out.
Not only that, the humor is back. Tonight, Mills and Crane go to Colonial Times and Ichabod is disgusted by all of it. I missed the humor and I am glad it is back.
