Tonight, the fourth season of the hilarious Canadian comedy Schitt’s Creek makes its U.S. debut on Pop. The series follows the misadventures of the self-obsessed Rose family, who suddenly found themselves broke and were forced to leave their lavish life in a mansion and move to the small backwoods town of Schitt’s Creek. Johnny (Eugene Levy) comanages the dingy roadside motel where the Roses now live. Meanwhile, his wife, former soap-star Moira (Catherine O’Hara), is constantly dreaming of returning to their former luxurious lifestyle. The couple’s spoiled twenty-something year-old children, David (Daniel Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy), were forced to make the best of their situation, though not without a lot of complaining. Alexis went back to school to get her high school diploma while also working at the local veterinary office owned by Dr. Ted. Meanwhile, David opened an eclectic shop in town with business partner Patrick. As the third season came to a close, Alexis had decided to quit her job as she prepared to graduate and head to college. Meanwhile, David and Patrick admitted that they had feelings for one another and shared their first kiss.

The new season picks up the following day and doesn’t miss a beat. I had forgotten just how much I loved the Roses, as well as the town’s many other offbeat characters, such as unmotivated motel clerk Stevie (Emily Hampshire, 12 Monkeys) and dimwitted town mayor Roland (Chris Elliott). I look forward to seeing more of Moira and her crazy wigs and misguided attempts at fitting in with the townsfolk; seeing how David balances his business and romantic lives with co-worker Patrick, and how he deals with the demons from his dating past; seeing how Alex deals with college, and if there’s a possibility of a reunion with Dr. Ted; and seeing what kind of craziness at the motel that Johnny and Stevie have to deal with. This show is such a light, fun watch that always leaves me wanting to immediately binge more episodes.

On tonight’s premiere, “Dead Guy in Room 4,” Moira feels responsible for a hotel guest’s death; David and Patrick make their romance official.

See how the hotel guest died and why Moira feels responsible tonight on Pop at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Goldbergs, American Housewife, Match Game, The Amazing Race, The X-Files, 9-1-1, Riverdale, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, Let’s Get Physical, Waco, The Magicians, Happy!, The Librarians, and Mosaic.

The last new episode of Chicago PD was part of the #OneChicago crossover, where Olinsky’s daughter was one of the victims in the warehouse fire started by a guy who was angry at a girl who he felt ignored his attentions. He thought they had something special, but she didn’t really know him. He just friended her on social media. He was wackadoo, and lots of people were killed, including Olinsky’s daughter, who died from her injuries. It was a crazy intense night of episodes and really sad but a great crossover.

Chicago PD is my favorite of the #OneChicago shows, and I’m so glad it’s back tonight. As a Linstead (Lindsay/Halstead) shipper, I am a little nervous about the guest star who starts tonight for a small arc, but the producer’s said that she won’t be a romantic rival for Erin, so I’ll keep my hopes up that they don’t screw up my favorite couple! Also, we haven’t had a lot of time to focus on Adam being back yet, so it’ll be interesting to see how the story line with him and Burgess goes!

On tonight’s episode, “Remember the Devil,” after being tipped off about a woman running barefoot through the woods, Intelligence is led to a kidnapping victim locked up in a shipping container. The bizarre scenario leaves Voight questioning the legitimacy of the case and sends the team on a twisted trail to get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, a former relationship of Halstead’s comes back into the picture, much to the surprise of Lindsay.

See how the team solves the case tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Blindspot, Chopped Junior, Cooks vs. Cons, Criminal Minds, Law & Order: SVU, Major Crimes, & Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
