It’s time to take a look at the Tuesday night offerings for this season, only 2 of which return from last year.

7:00

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Following the success of The Avengers, ABC, corporate sibling of Marvel, gets to air the spin-off featuring a team of SHIELD agents tracking down threats across the globe.

7:30

Brooklyn Nine-Nine – There hasn’t been a real police workplace comedy since Barney Miller left the air in 1982.  The premiere episode wasn’t bad, but sometimes a little bit of Andy Samberg can go a long way.

8:00

New Girl – This show really found its footing once Zooey Deschanel’s Jess and Jake Johnson’s Nick hooked up towards the end of last season.  The two have incredible chemistry, and keeping them apart really served no purpose.  Now if only they could find a consistent usage for Winston.

Supernatural – The show moves back to Tuesdays, in its original time slot from when it premiered, for its 9th season.  The show has tried to find a consistent purpose post-season 5 and the wrap up of the original storyline.  Maybe another year will do it.

8:30

The Mindy Project – Season 1 was a little uneven, as the show went through numerous cast changes as they tried to figure out what kind of show they had.  At its worst, it is still amusing, so I’ll be going along for season 2.

Trophy Wife – Early reviews are positive for this Malin Akerman vehicle, so I’ll likely give it a try..

9:00

Person of Interest – How do you improve upon what, after an inauspicious start, turned in to one of the more exciting shows on television?  You add Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi to the main cast, that’s how.
