The Great Indoors (CBS, 8:30 p.m.) — Joel McHale’s new comedy premieres tonight. The show follows an adventure reporter sidelined by injury and reassigned to a magazine’s digital department, where he leads a group of millennials. McHale’s comedy chops aside, can we just take a minute to look at why CBS is giving us yet another older white male out of touch with the youth of America? Feels like someone at the network is working their own issues out on TV.

Liz is forced to make a choice between her father figure and her biological dad who just so happens to have kidnapped her baby.

Good Girls Revolt (Amazon) — This new drama from Amazon follows a group of young female researchers at a newsroom called “News of the Week,” who ask to be treated fairly. Basically it’s full of feminist goodness and it has Pitch Perfect’s Anna Camp in it. What’s not to love?
