Will Trent on ABC at 8:00pm ET. I saw some promos for the new season and I thought they’d replaced Will Trent himself because he apparently does not wear his snappy little three-piece suits anymore?!? Sir, there are a lot of procedurals out there with detectives wearing casual wear, you need to distinguish yourself. The Mentalist understood this and it ran for over seven seasons with Simon Baker dutifully dressing the part for every single one of them.
Deal or No Deal Island on NBC at 9:00pm ET.
Doc on Fox at 9:00pm ET. Now, here, we have a doctor with amnesia and if she ever gets out of her hospital gown and head bandage there will be a similar problem vis a vis the many other shows with doctors who use their “quirks” to their diagnostic advantage but personal detriment. House also understood the necessity of a visual cue and that’s why Hugh Laurie nearly crippled himself for real acting out a limp for eight years.
Lucy Worsley Investigates on PBS at 9:00pm ET.
The Joe Schmo Show on TBS at 9:00pm ET. Series premiere. If you liked that Jury Duty show, this is the same thing but with a reality show as the “setting.”
