What’s On Tonight: ‘The Flash’ Returns To A New Reality


The Flash (The CW, 8:00 p.m.) — The Flash stumbled a bit in its third season, not the least by sending Barry off into the Speed Force. The fourth season premiere sees Team Flash trying to carry on in a world without Barry Allen, and while they seem to be holding things together rather well considering. Still, hopefully, Barry’s return will come sooner rather than later. After cutting some dead weight and returning to the core characters that drew fans in in the first place, The Flash is making the right moves to get back on course.

DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow (The CW, 9:00 p.m.) — The Legends have been fired after

Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates Jr. (PBS, 8:00 p.m.) – Christopher Walken, Fred Armison, and Carly Simon learn about their grandparents.

The Middle (ABC, 8:00 p.m.) – Frankie discovers a means to trade old stuff for food, Sue deals with apartment drama, and Axl gets a job as a school-bus driver (this seems like the worst idea).

The Voice (NBC, 8:00 p.m.) – The blind auditions are finally coming to an end.

Fresh Off the Boat (ABC, 8:30 p.m.) – Eddie tries out for football despite being forbidden by his mother. Jessica is the type of mother that you do not want to cross, so this will probably end poorly for him.

This Is Us (NBC, 9:00 p.m.) – Let’s be real: Randall and Beth are the reason to watch this show. This beautiful couple gets some good news while Kate visits Kevin on the set of his movie.

The Mayor (ABC, 9:30 p.m.) – Courtney visits his old elementary school to try to save the music program.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Fox, 9:30 p.m.) — Jake looks for a loophole to get out of his officially imposed desk duty, so expect some delightful hijinx with Boyle. Terry and Amy help Rosa deal with her relationship with Pimento, who she believes is cheating on her. Girl, this is pretty small potatoes compared to his other red flags.

American Horror Story: Cult (FX, 10:00 p.m.) – This episode has been reedited following the events in Las Vegas since it featured a mass shooting, so who knows where Ryan Murphy is going with this one.
