What’s On Tonight: ‘Supergirl’ Takes Flight

Supergirl (CBS, 9 p.m.) – Glee star Melissa Benoist dons the red cape tonight as Supergirl, also known as Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin who apparently is equal-parts quirky and badass and not nearly as angst-ridden as her male counterpart. I’m not going to say the future of female-driven superhero shows depends on this CBS pilot, but I’m not going to not say that, either.

Minority Report (Fox, 9 p.m.) – Arthur and Dash try to save a sick girl they think is the next victim they’ve had a vision of, but “her people” aren’t feelin’ that.

Blindspot (NBC, 10 p.m.) – There’s a new app that can track government vehicles available for download, and obviously the FBI isn’t happy about it. Meanwhile, Jane and Weller do their best to keep their relationship professional. I think we all know how that’s going to turn out.

Fargo (FX, 10 p.m.) – The search for Rye heats up as Peggy tries her best to disprove a new theory about the Waffle Hut shooter.
