Broad City is back, as is our reason to laugh again

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Wednesday, January 14. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Broad City (Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m.): Ah, good old Broad City. The city of good old broads. Welcome back, ladies. Abbi and Ilana (and reviewer Caroline Framke) return for a second season of hijinks and shenanigans in the only way they possibly could: with Abbi trying to find an air conditioner for her bedroom and Ilana looking for a gift for Lincoln. Fine, that description doesn’t exactly scream hijinks and shenanigans, but when it comes to Broad City—just like in life and Lord Of The Rings—it’s all about the journey. An air conditioner is not just an air conditioner, and a gift for Lincoln is not just a gift for Lincoln when it comes to Abbi and Ilana. If you’re impatient and can’t wait for the return of weekly reviews for the show, Pilot Viruet also wrote a pre-air review of the first three episodes of the season.
Also noted
The Middle (ABC, 8 p.m.) / The Goldbergs (ABC, 8:30 p.m.): This week on The Goldbergs, “Beverly picks out Barry’s date for the Sadie Hawkins dance, and her choice comes as a shock to everyone.” Knowing Beverly, the only possible date she could choose that would shock “everyone” is a girl who is not herself. If that is the case, that really is pretty shocking. Meanwhile, The Middle’s latest episode appears to be all about work ethic, something that clearly didn’t exist in the 1980s. Will Harris is up to the task of judging both of these shows for their values or lack thereof.
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (FXX, 10 p.m.): 10 seasons of Sunny. Not bad for a show that was playing second fiddle to Starved (Remember Starved? Your friendly, neighborhood What’s On Tonight contributor does. She’s the only one.) back in its first season. Nowadays, Sunny is on FXX (which is certainly more of a real network than Destination America), and it’s showing no signs of ever slowing down. Dennis Perkins is so excited for the return of America’s favorite sociopaths. (Just between you and us, they’re his type of people.)
Workaholics (Comedy Central, 10 p.m.): Season five, baby! You know what that means: job fair! Dennis Perkins figures that the show’s got to put the “work” in Workaholics somehow.
Man Seeking Woman (FXX, 10:30 p.m.): FXX has to fill its non-Simpsons schedule somehow, and after the return of It’s Always Sunny, FXX is giving a chance to a brand new series, Man Seeking Woman. Jay Baruchel and Eric André star in the sitcom based on creator Simon Rich’s book of short stories, The Last Girlfriend On Earth. That definitely sounds appealing, and according to Noel Murray’s pre-air review, it kind of is. We hear there’s time travel and trolls.
