There are several new shows premiering tonight. One is a remake from the late 1960s and the other is just really, really bad.
Rebel Wilson has become one popular girl thanks to sleeper movie hit Pitch Perfect. Unfortunately that popularity cannot save one mess of a show. Super Fun Night premieres tonight in the coveted spot behind Modern Family and we can already predict that it won't stay there for very long. So how bad is it? Well for starters, the pilot episode received so much negative responses that the network scrapped it and will start the show's run with its second episode. The three main lead characters, including Wilson, are just unrealistic and down right hard to root for in this "comedy." If it was up to us, we would replace it with the late Don't Trust the B--- in Apt. 23. 9:30 pm on ABC.
NBC tries another reboot, and it looks like this time it'll work. Ironside is a remake of the the 1960s procedural drama of the same name. So far the only difference is that the location has been reimaged and is now set in New York (the original was set in San Francisco). Blair Underwood gives an excellent performance as Robert Ironside and the tonight's series premiere will balance this week's case with flashbacks of Ironside's shooting and subesequent paralyzation. This one is definitely worth checking out. 10 pm on NBC.
A Young Doctor's Notebook premieres tonight and features Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe as the doctor/narrator. Jon Hamm portrays the older, drug-addicted version who narrates from his diaries while Daniel Radcliffe plays the younger version practicing medicine in early 20th-century Russia. This 2012 miniseries is based on A Country Doctor's Notebook, a collection of short stories by Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. 10 pm on Ovation.
Also on TV Tonight:
The CW airs Arrow: Year One, which recaps the entire first season of the DC Comics based vigilante hero. ABC's comedy night features new episodes of The Middle, Back in the Game, and Modern Family. Country music sudser Nashville follows the outcome of Rayna's accident. NBC's Revolution continues its struggle in the 8 o'clock slot followed by a new episode of Law & Order: SVU. CBS presents a new chapter in the latest version of Survivor, followed by new episodes of procedural and crime dramas Criminal Minds and CSI.
