Tonight at 8p on Fox, it is Chloe’s (Lauren German) birthday on Lucifer and someone got her a cake full of male strippers. Who the gift giver is will surprise you.
As she is celebrating her birthday at the police station, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) gets a phone call that his wife Candy (Lindsey Gort) has gone missing. Lopez (Aimee Garcia) walks in on him when he gets the news, and convinces him that they should go to Vegas to find her. When they get there, they discover a dead body at her place but it is not her. Now they are loose in Las Vegas, trying to find his wife. How much trouble can the devil get in to in Sin City, you want to tune in to find out.
Meanwhile, Chloe is mad at Lucifer for ditching her on her special day, so she crashes his place with Linda (Rachael Harris). They throw a party without him, and have more fun than two mortals should! How safe are they? Not that safe after they find his safe. What’s inside? I cannot tell you. But it is moment you do not want to miss.
Tonight, you get to see a different side of everyone and I hope we see them like this more often. Oh, did I mention we see Lucifer lead a Vegas lounge act with Lopez as one of his showgirls. It is as fantastic as you expect it to be.

Then at 9p on CBS, Randy (Katey Sagal) and Franco (Jermaine Fowler) get into a fight over her job on Superior Donuts.
Sweatpants (Rell Battle) comes in to Superior Donuts with a viral video of a cop that brutally arrested some of their friends. The officer turns out to be Randy and now that is going to make things difficult for everyone at the donut shop. She tries to explain what happened, but Franco isn’t having it. Meanwhile, Arthur (Judd Hirsch) refuses to hear it because he has known Randy since she was a kid and he does not believe that she is that type of cop.
In fact, the only solution for Franco and Arthur is to follow her on her beat. While they are tailing her, she responds to a robbery and gets shot. Will this change Franco’s view of her? Better yet, will she survive? What happens if she does?
What makes this show so special and unique, is that it debates today’s biggest issues by showing both sides, informing the viewers and making us laugh. They do all of that by not being preachy, just informative. For example in the above promo, you hear Franco says, “Please don’t be Black,” Sofia (Diane Guerrero) say, “Please don’t be Latina,” and Fawz (Maz Jobrani) say, “Please don’t be Muslim.” And how many of were saying that yesterday when they heard about the heinous shooting in Texas? It is one moment that we all can understand. One moment that unites us, and this sitcom is brilliantly showing both sides. Something more people need to pay attention to because not everything is Republican or Democrat. Put down your phones, switch off your computers and turn on your TVs to watch Superior Donuts at 9p.
I love Lucifer (Tom Ellis) but tonight at 8p on Fox, the episode is mostly about his even more devilish ally Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt). I do not what took them three seasons to do this, but good things come to those who wait.
Maze is working as a Bounty Hunter and she has to cross over to Canada to catch her guy. Ben Rivers (Chris McKenna) is a very charming murderer, who uses his looks and appeal to get his women. Since she is Maze, she will do a lot illegal things to capture him. Once she does, she sees herself in him. There is a reason why and that reason might be the end of them. Will it be?
Seriously, this episode is so much fun that I could honestly see them spinning off Mr. and Mrs. Mazikeen Smith as a series. Whether you watch the show (which you should) or not, you will enjoy tonight’s show.
Tonight at 9p on Fox, we learn even more about the Mutants on The Gifted.
Blink (Jamie Chung) is still dealing with the after effects of overusing her powers in the pilot. One the drawbacks is that she can no longer create portals. Thunderbird (Blair Redford) and Dreamer (Elena Satine) are going to work with her to help her regain her power.
Something they are going to need sooner rather than later. That’s because the Struckers (Amy Acker, Natalie Alyn Lind and Percy Hynes White) ran away in order to rescue their patriarch (Stephen Moyer). They will go to Reed’s brother, who’s son accidentally reveals that they are staying with him. That is when a bunch of locals try to take them in. Thankfully, some of the Gifted come to rescue the Strukers at that very moment. Now they are on the run and need their Mutant abilities to save them.
When it comes to Reed (Boyer), he has been recruited to bring in Mutants in order to save his family. Now that he knows his kids are both Mutants, will that cause the District Attorney to change his outlook on them?
It is another adrenaline ride of episode and that is why people are loving this Marvel Comics show.
Finally at 10p but over on ABC, it is time for The Good Doctor. A medical drama so good, people cannot stop kissing and telling about it. Which is something we are going to learn about Dr Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) tonight.
Dr Melendez (Nicholas Gonzalez) is assigned a pregnant patient, whose fetus has a tumor that is blocking its flow of blood. The parents-to-be came to Melendez because they know he has done the surgery that can save their baby. The surgeon thinks it is too risky for the mother, but Murphy comes up with a different way. Much to the dislike of his attending.
Therefore, Melendez sends him and fellow Resident Claire Browne (Antonia Thomas) down to deal with another case. An 18-year-old woman who has a boil insider of her vagina. Turns out it is not a boil, but a lesion and they have to operate. Also turns out this teen has an interesting job. One that will tell us more about Dr Murphy’s love life. He almost kissed a girl once and we will see that tonight.
There is a reason why The Good Doctor is TV #1 new show. It is because it is that good. Even if you missed the first three episodes, you can catch up on them after you watch tonight’s episode. You will be as hooked as the millions of people who are already loving this medical drama.
Lucifer is back on Fox tonight at 8p and so are his wings. Lucifer (Tom Ellis) wakes up alone in a desert after being kidnapped and now he needs a way back to Los Angeles. Once he gets there, he goes to see Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and she did not even know he was missing. Turns out he is was not the only one who was kidnapped, but he was the one who survived. Now they have to investigate the other victim’s murder.
Meanwhile, Lucy and his brother, Amenadiel (D. B. Woodside), have a heart to heart about who is their father’s aka Gd’s favorite son. This will make things awkward for them and they don’t have mom to bring peace between them since she is in her own universe.
Back to the force, there is a new sheriff in town aka lieutenant and his name is Marcus Pierce (Tom Welling). He does seem to like Decker, Lucifer or Detective Dan (Kevin Alejandro) and you can tell he is going to give the three of them trouble.
Oh and did I mention that Lucy finally decides to show his true face to Decker?
I seriously cannot express how much I love this show. It is one of the very few shows I must watch live because I cannot wait to for each new episode. It has everything you desire!

Then at 9p, The Gifted, based on the Marvel comic, debuts and it will quickly become one of your favorite shows. In the world of The Gifted, there are people who are just people and people who are mutants who have powers. Those abilities cause them to be on the run because the government wants to lock them up and throw the key.
They have abilities like Blink (Jamie Chung) who can transport herself by opening a whole in the air. Polaris (Emma Dumont) who can control magnets. Eclipse (Sean Teale) who can manipulate protons. Because of their abilities, they have a knack of running from the law and protecting their own kind.
Something the Strucker family is going to need. Reed (Stephen Moyer) the patriarch is a district attorney who puts the mutants away. He is going to be confronted with the fact that his son and daughter are just like the people he locks up. Andy (Percy Hynes White) can bend metal. When he is confronted by the school bullies, he loses it and exposes himself in a Carrie at the prom type of scenario. His sister, Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) can control air and water to protect herself and uses that get her brother out of the school. When they get home, they finally tell their mom (Amy Acker) the truth. Just as they do, the cops come knocking on their door. Instead of turning them in, she flees with her family. Now they are run from the law and the other mutants team up with them.
Remember how good Heroes was its first season, this is very comparable. It is suspenseful and full of action. It is a perfect fit with Lucifer and because of that Fox has a very strong Monday night. Stronger than the mutants.

Then over at 8:30p on CBS, Mark Feuerstein’s real life comes to on 9JKL. Back when he got the job on his last show Royal Pains, he moved back to NYC and lived in between his parents and brother. His family did not have boundaries then and they are not going to have them now.
His mother (Linda Lavin) and his father (Elliott Gould) love having their son home. So much so they are not going to leave him alone. They will be there when he wakes up, comes home and basically anytime he is in the apartment. His brother (David Walton) and sister-in-law (Liza Lapira), who live on the other side of him, are just as bad. Good thing have a cute baby because so he cannot remain mad at them.
In fact, he cannot remain mad at any of them because afterall they are family and family is always there for you. But they sure as hell can be annoying as hell. And for us, as funny as hell. I can see this being my family which is why I live 3,000 miles away from them. It is that relatable factor that will have you enjoying this show and laughing with them. That and it is truly hilarious.
Tonight at 9p on Fox, it is time for the Lucifer season finale. It is an episode that was a whole season in the making.
Now that Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and his brother Amenadiel (D. B. Woodside) finally have all the pieces of the sword, will they return to Heaven? To make matters worse, their mom (Tricia Helfer) is ready to explode, literally. Her human shell is falling apart and her time on Earth is expiring faster than a carton of milk. Charlotte goes to Dr Linda to fix her up, so that her illumination won’t kill any more people aka instantly burn them to death. The doctor comes up with a temporary fix, but how long will that last? Especially since she is the lead suspect in a murder that Chloe (Lauren German) is investigating. Time is of the essence and there isn’t much time left and desperation is kicking in for all of them.
Someone will take matters in their own hands to get the truth and sacrifices against their wills be made. All leading up to an epic conclusion and cliffhanger that will leave you saying WTF? As in can someone explain to me what just happened and what is going to happen?
Even though, I don’t understand the final few seconds, Lucifer has grown to be one of my favorite current shows on television. While so many shows have gone down hill, this one gets better with each episode. They know how to use the chemistry with the leads and not screw it up as they add more characters like some other shows aka Sleepy Hollow. As long as they keep that up, I will continue to watch this show live every Monday at 9p when it returns in the Fall.
It has been months since we had an all new episode of Lucifer, but he is finally back on Fox tonight at 9p.
It has been two weeks since the last episode took place and no one has seen or heard from Lucifer (Tom Ellis) since he disappeared. Life has moved on for everyone in Los Angeles and he made a big change in his life too. When he finally returns, he has a big announcement. He got married and her name is Candy. No one is sweet on the Las Vegas showgirl except for Lucifer, so that will make things interesting for everyone. Especially, Chloe (Lauren German) who finally realizes she has feelings for him.
When Lucifer comes back she tries to shut him out of her latest investigation, but Candy comes in helpful. Lucifer and Chloe go to marriage counseling to investigate their latest murder case and she winds up revealing the feelings she has for him, but is he smart enough to figure it out?
Then there is his family especially his mother (Tricia Helfer) who don’t like their new in-law. Charlotte doesn’t have time for that because she has come up with a way to get them back up to Heaven. But that will play out more next week.
I watch a lot of television shows and Lucifer is one that I have to watch live. I hate waiting for new episodes because I adore it so much. It is witty, funny and one of the rare procedurals that keeps you guessing until the end of each episode. Plus, every now and again we get to hear Ellis sing. Tonight, he croons out a sexy version of Bangles’ Eternal Flame. Ladies, it will have you swooning as he serenades us through our television screens. Kind of like something the real Lucifer would do.
