Political Drama, Real and Fake

9-1-1: Lone Star on Fox at 8:00pm ET.

The State of the Union on ABC, CBS, Fox, PBS, and NBC at 9:00pm ET.

The Oval on BET at 9:00pm ET. So you can watch the actual president talk about what’s happening in our country, or you can watch Tyler Perry’s version of political intrigue. I’ve skimmed some episode descriptions and if you thought that Scandal dispensed with having any kind of basis in reality quickly, The Oval took that as a challenge.

The Winchesters on The CW at 9:00pm ET.

History’s Greatest Heists with Pierce Brosnan on History Channel at 10:00pm ET. Series premiere. Cue up “Sinnerman” and get out your bowler hats.
