Welcome to a new week of TV! It’s a pretty slow week, although a bit busier than last week, so be sure to check out the schedule so you don’t miss anything! And again, check your local listings for any hockey or basketball games, as well as golf or tennis or whatever it is this week (LOL) since I won’t list them here!

Tonight is the series premiere of Claws on TNT at 9/8c. This is a midnight-dark, wickedly funny meditation on female badness set in a Central Florida nail salon. It follows the rise of five diverse and treacherous manicurists working at the Nail Artisan of Manatee County salon, where there is a lot more going on than silk wraps and pedicures. At the center is salon owner Desna (Niecy Nash, Getting On, The Soul Man), who lives with and cares for her mentally ill twin brother, Dean (Harold Perrineau, Lost, Oz). Desna’s staff includes best friend Jennifer (Jenn Lyon, Justified), a tenuously sober ex-party girl raising two children from previous relationships; Quiet Ann (Judy Reyes, Scrubs), Desna’s enigmatic driver who also provides security for the salon; Polly (Carrie Preston, True Blood), a mild-mannered preppy who recently served time in prison for identity theft; and Virginia (Karrueche Tran, The Nice Guys), who makes no effort to hide her boredom and impatience with her job. Adding chaos to the Nail Artisan mix is Roller (Jack Kesy, The Strain), a gangstered-out redneck who runs a barely legal pain clinic and uses Desna’s nail salon to launder their obscene profits; Bryce (Kevin Rankin, Dallas Buyers Club, Friday Night Lights), Jennifer’s husband who is also newly sober and trying to stay legit by working as an abundance coach; Dr. Ken Brickman (Jason Antoon, Famous in Love), a bona fide doctor at a decidedly un-bona fide drug clinic; and Uncle Daddy (Dean Norris, Breaking Bad), a dangerous Dixie Mafia crime boss who is deeply Catholic and actively bisexual.
Tonight is also the series premiere of Steve Harvey’s Funderdome on ABC at 9/8c. From Mark Burnett, this is a seed-funding competition reality series where two budding entrepreneurs go head-to-head to win over a live studio audience to fund their ideas, products or companies. In each of the 13 episodes, the audience will represent the “customer” and, as the customer is always right, they will be voting to determine the winner. But, in each round, following the pitches and before Steve Harvey reveals the results of the crowd’s majority vote, the entrepreneurs will face a major dilemma: one of the entrepreneurs is allowed to cash out and walk away for a lesser amount. But if an entrepreneur cashes out, they forgo the opportunity to win the whole cash prize for that round — a good move if they lost the crowd vote, but a bad move if they would have won it.

Tonight is the series premiere of Blood Drive on Syfy at 10/9c. In the tradition of classic grindhouse movies, Blood Drive is a new series soaked in high-octane chaos and just barely approved for television. After Los Angeles’ last good cop (Alan Ritchson) is forced to join a twisted cross-country death race, his only hope of survival is a dangerous femme fatale who has the need for speed (Christina Ochoa). Oh, and forget gasoline… these cars run on human blood! The show also stars Colin Cunningham, Thomas Dominique, & Marama Corlett.
