Fine, fine, we’ll take a look at Limitless

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, February 16. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Limitless (CBS, 10 p.m.): We here at TV Club never know quite what to do with CBS’ non-NCIS, non-CSI procedurals. Look at Person Of Interest: We gave it a shot, found it kind of uninteresting in the early going, gave up on it, and then picked it back up again when it unexpectedly got really, really good. We skipped that first phase entirely with Limitless, and it may be time to issue a mea culpa, as we’ve heard enough good things about this spin-off of the Bradley Cooper movie to give it a shot. Good things tend to happen when Myles McNutt reviews these shows, so he’ll be following up his interview with Limitless showrunner by taking a look at tonight’s episode, and then, if all goes well, handing off the baton to a new regular reviewer. So if you want Limitless to be a thing here, stop by Myles’ review tonight.

Not Safe With Nikki Glaser (Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m.): While we’re on the subject of shows in the trial run phase of regular coverage, Emily L. Stephens will be checking in on this show’s second week. whoops, turns out we won’t actually be covering this show going forward. Still probably worth checking out! Host Nikki Glaser will be looking to help men improve their sexting skills and quizzing men coming out of strip clubs about women.
Marvel’s Agent Carter (ABC, 9 p.m.): ABC is pulling the ol’ Happy Endings by doubling up episodes for the next couple weeks, so know that you’re getting two hours’ worth of Agent Carter this week and the next. And yes, we’re aware Happy Endings is almost certainly not the first show that ABC burned off by airing two episodes at a time. As we have already made clear in previous Tuesday What’s On Tonight installments, we just really like mentioning Happy Endings.
In many ways, this show was our The Wire. Oliver Sava just shakes his head at our idiocy.
The Grinder (Fox, 9:30 p.m.): Nothing too urgent here, but we’re excited to note that we will be subbing in for Molly Eichel on tonight’s review. Sorry, sorry, forgot to shift from first person plural to third person, as What’s On Tonight style dictates. So then … we’re excited to note that Alasdair Wilkins will be bringing all The Grinder hot takes you can handle tonight. There. Much better.

The Flash (The CW, 8 p.m.): The Earth-2 fun continues, if by “fun” we mean “Barry being held in Zoom’s terrifying lair.” But still … retro futurism! Also, Jay Garrick is still trying to get his speed back, and any opportunity to see that awesome, wing-helmeted Earth-2 Flash outfit on our TV screens is fine by us. Scott Von Doviak just wants to take this moment to point out that, nah, please don’t call him Scott VD.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Fox, 9 p.m.): Some intriguing character combinations tonight, as Jake runs afoul of Hitchcock and Scully after insulting their work ethic, Amy and Gina help Rosa deal with a fear (which, sure, we’ll believe that when we see it), and Holt and Boyle doubtless bring the awkward as they work a celebrity case.
