Thursday Night Football (CBS, 8:25 p.m.) — It’s the Packers vs. Vikings in the Battle of 2-2 Teams That Are Chasing the Lions, Which Sounds Weird, Because the Lions?!?
Scandal/How to Get Away With Murder (ABC, 9 p.m.) — A whole lot of people watched the Murder pilot, and now they all know how to get away with murder. Everyone you love is dead. Sorry.
Bad Judge (NBC, 9 p.m.) — Series premiere. More like Bad Show (pretty sure I’m the first person to make that joke).
Gracepoint (Fox, 9 p.m.) — Series premiere. The Doctor and Skyler White try to solve a murder, while Nick Nolte plays a crotchety loner. That’s a hard premise to resist.
A to Z (NBC, 9:30 p.m.) — Series premiere. It’s like How I Met Your Mother, right down to the narrator, but super quirky, and this time, we won’t have to watch the main character forget about his one true love, played by Cristin Milioti, in favor of Aunt Robin. Nope, on A to Z, he gives her his nipple (probably).
