Inside Amy Schumer returns to bring even more of that Comedy Central sketch show thunder
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, April 21. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Inside Amy Schumer (Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m.): For those still feeling those post-Kroll Show blues, Amy Schumer is here to keep the sketch train a-rolling. She’s kicking the third season off in style, with an episode in which she “meets her heroes, attempts to get birth control, and discusses defecation.” We really hope that’s all describing just one story. We know we take any chance to meet our idols as an opportunity to hit them up for some birth control and swap poop stories. Kate Knibbs would say that’s too much information, but then she remembers we’re talking about Amy Schumer.
The people’s top pick, now and forever
Person Of Interest CSI: Cyber (CBS, 10 p.m.): Person Of Interest is chilling out for one more week, which means CBS is unleashing the unholy power of original flavor NCIS followed by gumbo-style NCIS: New Orleans followed by tech-crazy CSI: Cyber. Truly, this is the golden age of television.
Also noted
Fresh Off The Boat (ABC, 8 p.m.): The first season wraps up with Jessica worrying the family has lost its Chinese identity, which means Louis has to turn down a country club invitation and Eddie has to do a school report on China. Honestly, those just sound like sensible courses of action anyway—country clubs are lame, and knowledge is power, particularly when it’s knowledge about one of the most powerful nations on the planet—but Dan Caffrey feels confident Jessica can make this sufficiently weird.
The Flash (8 p.m.): The Arrow crossovers just keep on coming, as Cisco and Detective West head over to Starling City as part of their ongoing investigation into Harrison Wells. Both members of the Lance family are slated to appear, which means Scott Von Doviak has plenty of vaguely (well, maybe more than vaguely) implausible superheroics and awesomely hard-boiled detective dialogue to look forward to.
iZombie (The CW, 9 p.m.): So, is there a way to explain this show’s premise without it sounding completely ridiculous? We tried earlier today and all we got were laughs. (At least until we mentioned the whole “from the dude who created Veronica Mars,” which brought people around pretty quick.) Anyway, per the description of tonight’s episode about a murdered computer hacker, “Liv inherits intense agoraphobia and mad skills at computer gaming when she consumes his brains.” You know iZombie, you’re not making our job or Carrie Raisler’s job any easier.
