It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (FXX, 10 p.m.): “Frank falls out the window causing him to think it’s 2006, the gang approaches it as a do-over and attempts to fix their past mistakes.” Dennis Perkins remembers when that happened to him. It was one of the funniest moments of his life. We can only imagine that the same will happen with this episode. (Also, we definitely know that the same will happen with the episode. How is this show still so good 11 seasons in?)

Mary Elizabeth Ellis is pretty funny, and currently, she’s on two pretty funny shows: It’s Always Sunny and The Grinder. So, what’s that like? Read her interview with Kenneth Arthur and find out. The answer might surprise you. (Unless the answer is “pretty good.”)
Also on the funny spectrum: crappy wrestling gimmicks. Please, mark out to our Inventory of “14 regrettable wrestling gimmicks.”
Let’s keep the funny train going, people! This time, with broads! No, not those broads. The Idiotsitter broads, Jillian Bell and Charlotte Newhouse! Dennis Perkins’ pre-air review of the new Comedy Central series calls it “winning,” which is a lot better than those crappy wrestling gimmicks. And hey, you want more funny broads (that also coincidentally started all of their funny broad stuff on the internet)? Then check out TV Land’s Teachers (and our Teacher pre-air review), like we said you should earlier.
What else is on?
Lego Nexo Knights (Cartoon Network, 5:30 p.m.): “The Power Of Merlock” compels you! “The Power Of Merlock” compels you! “The Power Of Merlock” compels you!
2 Broke Girls (CBS, 8 p.m.): 100 episodes of 2 Broke Girls, and now the girls are coming out. They want the world to know, etc. So in “And The Coming Out,” we’re going back to beginning: “When Caroline’s grandmother Astrid awakens from a coma with no knowledge of her family’s massive money scandal, Caroline attempts to keep the truth hidden for a bit longer by giving Astrid one last fancy luncheon.” Fingers crossed that Caroline can keep her poor grandmother from learning a truth that greatly affects her.
American Idol (Fox, 8 p.m.): “Ryan and the judges continue their search as they travel the country in hopes of finding the next big thing.” Isn’t it technically “the last big thing”?
The Mysteries Of Laura (NBC, 8 p.m.): “The violent death of a perfume magnate leaves the detectives wondering who they can trust.” What a loaded sentence. We’re glad that this is an episode in which Jerry O’Connell, Willie Garson, and Stockard Channing all chose to guest star.
Mob Wives (VH1, 8 / 9 p.m.): The two-hour season six of premiere of Mob Wives has decided to give us both “Mobbed Up Mermaids” and “Cabin In The Woods.” Sadly, we doubt this means amazingly bizarre remakes of Splash (with criminals) and, well, Cabin In The Woods. But who knows? Shows can get really weird in their later seasons.
Mike & Molly (CBS, 8:30 p.m.): “Molly hopes a fitness tracking device will encourage Mike to be more active and take better care of himself, but Mike has other plans for it.” Stay safe, Molly.
Duck Dynasty (A&E, 9 p.m.): Here’s to nine seasons of Duck Dynasty! Just kidding.
Criminal Minds (CBS, 9 p.m.): Criminal Minds is back with “Entropy,” and all we really need is for it not to lead us down the same depressing path as the Buffy episode did.
Tia Mowry At Home (Cooking Channel, 9 p.m.): “Tia invites her husband Cory’s single actor friends over for a cookout by the pool.” So now Tia’s thinking of straying, just to enable her damn cooking addiction? Girl.
Property Brothers (HGTV, 9 p.m.): “A couple and their two children search for a home of their own after camping out in their family’s basement for 10 months. However, finding a property that’s both move-in ready and affordable proves to be more difficult than they ever imagined.” How ever will they solve their problems?!?! Oh, with the help of the Property Brothers? Yeah, you’re right. That’s what it’s all about.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (NBC, 9 p.m.): “Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is taken hostage when she tries to stop a violent home invasion.” First of all, we love how this press release makes sure we know who plays Olivia Benson, 17 seasons into the series’ run. Secondly, this episode is titled “Townhouse Incident,” but we’re still sure all of our parents will refer to it as “one of those episodes where Olivia gets kidnapped.” We know we will.
Nova (PBS, 9 p.m.): “Mineralogist Robert Hazen explores the role that rocks may have played in the creation of life on Earth.” Classic rock head behavior.
Face Off (Syfy, 9 p.m.): The 10th season premiere of Face Off is like a Bon Jovi song: “Wanted Dead Or Alive.” (Don’t laugh at that. It was barely even a joke.) “Season 10 begins with the 14 competing artists working in teams of two to create alien bounty hunters.” See? Bon Jovi has nothing to do with this.
My 600-lb Life (TLC, 9 p.m.): In “Brittani’s Story,” this is Brittani’s story: “A 600-lb. woman is married to a man who likes large partners, but weight-loss surgery leads to more changes in her life than she could have ever imagined.” Eek.
Newlyweds: The First Year (Bravo, 10 p.m.): More like “fight or fight,” are we right? (Our point would be that all of the couples just keep fighting. Also, the episode is titled “Fight Or Flight.” That’s what we’re addressing.)
Code Black (CBS, 10 p.m.): “Shiri Appleby Returns as Malaya’s Ex-Girlfriend Carla Niven.” We guess that’s almost like UnREAL being back. Oh, it’s not? Nevermind then. Just think about that Lion King episode again.
The Conversation (Lifetime, 10 p.m.): Just like I Get That A Lot, it turns out that we were the fools for believing that this show just ceased to exist. Okay, it did actually just cease to exist, but now it’s back, a little less than four years after its last episode. By the way, that last episode was “Parenting & Perseverance,” which featured Donna Karan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ivanka Trump, and Joy Bryant, all women who are considered the pinnacle of parenting, we guess. This episode is hitting us with “The Hillary Clinton Interview.” Oh, Hillary. You don’t need to bring a Lifetime series we all forgot existed back from the dead to be a winner. Unless that Lifetime series is Strong Medicine.
Chicago P.D. (NBC, 10 p.m.): Chicago Platt Update: It doesn’t look like Oliver Platt is in this episode of Chicago P.D., but Chicago Fire’s Steven R. McQueen is. Fingers crossed that they’re just saving Platt as a surprise appearance.
Rich In Faith (Oxygen, 10 p.m): “TBD,” baybay!
Master P’s Family Empire (Reelz, 10 p.m.): Just a reminder: This is not a spin-off of or in any way related to Fox’s Empire. It’s trying to trick you.
Rev Runs Around The World (Travel Channel, 10 / 10:30 p.m.): This week, Rev Run has just gone full tilt into stereotyping with “London: Pinkies Up” and “Reykjavik: Stranded On A Glacier.” All we get from the latter is another reason to miss The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson.
Watch What Happens: Live (Bravo, 11 p.m.): Eva Longoria! Yay! Ryan Seacrest! Hey, you already got your Seacrest jollies out during the American Idol entry.
The Prestige (Encore Mystery, 6:45 p.m.): Hopefully you can see the movie through your tears, Bowie fans.

In case you missed it
The Expanse: Zack Handlen’s review of last night’s episode asks “how much character work is too much character work”? Obviously, you can find out the answer to that in the review itself.
