Tonight is the series premiere of Young Sheldon on CBS at 8:30/7:30c. For 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), it isn’t easy growing up in East Texas. Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn’t always helpful in a land where church and football are king. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. The Big Bang Theory’s multiple Emmy Award winner Jim Parsons narrates as Adult Sheldon. This single-camera, half-hour comedy gives us the chance to meet Sheldon in childhood, as he embarks on his innocent, awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become.
Tonight is also the series premiere of Me, Myself & I on CBS at 9:30/8:30c. Bobby Moynihan stars in a comedy about the defining moments in one man’s life over three distinct periods: as a 14-year-old in 1991 (played by Jack Dylan Grazer), at age 40 in present day (Moynihan), and at age 65 in 2042 (played by John Larroquette). During these pivotal periods of yesterday, today and tomorrow, Alex always finds a way to move forward with determination and humor, knowing his life story isn’t defined by the bad things that happen to him, but instead by how he chooses to deal with them. The show also stars Brian Unger as Ron in 1991 & present day; Christopher Paul Richards as Justin in 1991; Jaleel White as Darryl in present day; Kelen Coleman as Abby in 2042; Mandell Maughan as Maggie in 1991; Sharon Lawrence as Eleanor in 2042; & Skylar Gray as Abby in present day.

The cast includes Anne Heche, Mike Vogel, Sofia Pernas, Tate Ellington, Natacha Karam, Demetrius Grosse, Noah Mills and Hadi Tabbal.
Finally, tonight is the series premiere of The Good Doctor on ABC at 10:01/9:01c. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore, Bates Motel), a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, relocates from a quiet country life to join a prestigious hospital’s surgical unit.

The show also stars Richard Schiff, Hill Harper, Antonia Thomas, Beau Garrett, Chuku Modu, & Nicholas Gonzalez.

In no time these two friends are thrown into the center of small town life with Daniel, confronted at every turn by the ghosts of his adolescent past and a town that hasn’t moved on while Emma is lapping up her anonymity in Rosehaven and newfound life on the land. Soon enough, these two best buddies find both their friendship and their sanity put to the test by the charming, but deeply eccentric, townsfolk of Rosehaven. The series also co-stars Kris McQuade (Wentworth), Katie Robertson (The Kettering Incident), and David Quirk (Please Like Me).

Tonight is the series premiere of The Rundown with Robin Thede on BET at 11/10c. BET joins forces with Executive Producer Chris Rock to bring the African American female voice to late night news satire. Comedian and former head writer and contributor for The Nightly Show, Robin Thede, gives her hilariously unique take on the week’s headlines in politics and pop culture in a fast-paced, no-holds-barred 30-minute late night show featuring biting social commentary, sharp sketch comedy and in-your-face pop culture parody.
Tonight is also the complete first season premiere of Big Mouth on Netflix at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. This is a 10-episode, half-hour edgy adult animated comedy from real-life best friends Nick Kroll (Kroll Show, The League) and Andrew Goldberg (Family Guy) about the glorious nightmare that is teenaged puberty. Comedian John Mulaney lends his voice to the character of Andrew, while Kroll (who serves as co-creator, executive producer) voices many including best friend Nick. Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen, Jenny Slate, and Jessi Klein are among those who lend their voice to the series.
Tonight is also the complete first season premiere of Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip on Netflix at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. Gear up for a fast-paced journey as celebrity chef and avid auto enthusiast Paul Hollywood takes in the cars and culture of France, Italy and Germany.
Finally, tonight is the complete first season premiere of Tin Star on Amazon at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. Starring Tim Roth (Lie to Me, The Hateful Eight) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), this is a tale of the corruption of innocence, of murder, of grief and of all consuming revenge. Set in the majestic Canadian Rockies, it tells the story of Jim Worth (Roth), a former British detective now small town police chief, who brings his family to the tiny, tranquil town of Little Big Bear for a better life. When a vast new oil refinery, fronted by corporate liaison Elizabeth Bradshaw (Hendricks), opens nearby and their new home is flooded with workers looking for drugs, gambling and prostitution, Jim has to work hard to protect his family and the town from organized crime. Then crime strikes back. And when Jim’s family suffers a shocking tragedy, old, dark and dangerous secrets surface. We discover that Jim is not the man we think he is but is in fact “Jack”…the professional name for his alcoholic alter-ego: a man more unpredictable, more charismatic and infinitely more menacing than Jim. Part drama, part thriller and part dark comedy, Tin Star is an exhilaratingly smart, breathlessly suspenseful thrill ride of a show as deceit, guilt, love, and all-consuming rage lead inexorably to a gut-wrenching finale. It also stars Abigail Lawrie, Christopher Heyerdahl, Genevieve O’Reilly, Ian Puleston-Davies, Kevin Hanchard, Oliver Coopersmith, Roark Critchlow, Ryan Kennedy, Sarah Podemski, & Stephen Walters.

This documentary series delivers an in-depth exploration of mass shootings and their devastating consequences. From the first-hand perspective of survivors, families of the victims, witnesses and heroic first responders, the series goes beyond the sensationalistic coverage of these nightmarish moments to offer a comprehensive report on these tragic events. Each of the eight episodes focuses on one of the numerous active shooter incidents that have occurred in the United States, to provide a thoughtful and comprehensive examination of one of the most important issues of our time. Making a careful study of the attacks at Aurora, San Bernardino, Charleston, the Washington D.C.

From the precipitating factors for each event to the heroic bravery and compassion of the first responders as they come upon the scene…and the ongoing impact on survivors, their families and communities…the show strives to create a forum for understanding, discussion and debate, keeping the lives and loss of the victims paramount amid the need to confront this grave pandemic.
