Song of the day:
TV Tuesday
Well, it’s fall and that means new TV shows and the return of old favorites. Here are a few things I’ve been watching…
New
Andor - Disney+ - This is a new Star Wars series and so far I love it! Anyone else watching?
Quantum Leap - NBC - I loved, absolutely LOVED, the original Quantum Leap with Scott Bakula, so I was skeptical when I heard there was a new series. I was thankful it was not a remake but more like a sequel. I’ve only watched one episode, but I thought it was a great. I’m definitely going to be watching more.
Gutsy - Apple TV+ - This is the new documentary-style show from Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. I’ve only watched the first episode but it was really good! I enjoyed their conversation with each other as much as the conversations they had with the numerous women - both famous and not - who they talked to. I’m looking forward to watching more.
Celebrity Jeopardy - ABC - This isn’t technically new since there have been Celebrity Jeopardy shows before, but the format is different and it’s in primetime. The first episode was good - with a spectacular finish - and I’m looking forward to the next one. I also truly enjoy Mayim Bialik hosting.
Returning
The Rookie - ABC - This is one of my favorites, and the first episode back didn’t pull any punches. It’s so, so good. If you’re not involved with this show, what are you waiting for? Really looking forward to the spinoff series that starts tonight, The Rookie: Feds. More on that next week.
Central Park - Apple TV+ - This one is just so stinking good. It’s funny, it’s sweet, and it’s musical. It’s got Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom, Jr. and Stanley Tucci (plus a million other amazing actors). What more could I want? You need to check this one out if you haven’t already.
Abbott Elementary - ABC - This show is wicked good, and I’m so glad it pulled in a couple of Emmys recently. If you’re not watching, you need to fix that problem immediately. Quinta Brunson’s writing is spectacular, and the entire cast is brilliant.
The Masked Singer - FOX - Y’all know I love this show. This season has a new format, and I think I like it a lot. The costumes continue to be amazing and Ken Jeong is always hilarious on the panel. Also, some of the celebrities and really sing!!
College Bowl - NBC - This is a fun show that I completely missed last season. I liked the first season, despite the cheesy banter between Peyton and Cooper Manning. The questions are HARD, but there are some super-smart college kids in this country. It gives me a little hope for our future.
So what are you watching these days? Let me know in the comments.

I bet you didn’t know how much you needed to meet this cat…I didn’t either. But he’s completely awesome.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
