CBS spent $275 million to broadcast 8 Thursday night NFL games, so <em>The Big Bang Theory<\/em> moves back to Mondays until late October. \u00a0The show continues to be a ratings powerhouse, so hopefully the move doesn&#8217;t shake things up too much.<\/p>\n<p><em>2 Broke Girls<\/em> &#8211; Once <em>The Big Bang Theory<\/em> returns to its Thursday perch, <em>2 Broke Girls<\/em> will return to the Monday slot it inherited last spring from <em>How I Met Your Mother<\/em>. \u00a0At this point, the show is what it is, so there is no point on hoping that the writers move away from their lowest common denominator form of comedy. \u00a0As long as Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings continue to charm, I will continue to watch. \u00a0But their charms only go so far.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gotham<\/em> &#8211; FOX gets in the superhero game with this Batman prequel, set in the days just after a young Bruce Wayne has witnessed the death of his parents.\u00a0 The show has been sold as more of the Gotham police force dealing with the criminals that will one day become Batman&#8217;s fiercest foes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Sleepy Hollow<\/em> &#8211; I am going to be completely honest and say I don&#8217;t really remember much about the first season of this show, other than it was a little crazy and it didn&#8217;t exactly grab me as much as it seemigly did everyone else.\u00a0 I guess I&#8217;ll stick around until\/unless I find something to take its place.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jane The Virgin<\/em> &#8211; The first CW pilot in years to not feature either vampires or superheroes is an adaptation of a Venezuelen telenovela.\u00a0 Early reports are that it is one of the better pilots of the fall, so I guess I can give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9:00<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>Castle<\/em> &#8211; Entering season 7, Castle offers up exactly what is expected of it on a regular basis.\u00a0 Hopefully, the wedding that went south in last season&#8217;s finale doesn&#8217;t drag out for too long.\u00a0 ABC has run into issues with that particular plotline before.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Blacklist<\/em> &#8211; A surprisingly entertaining rookie season gave James Spader much to play with and let Megan Boone show us the joys of wearing wigs.\u00a0 I assume there will be more of the same this season, with maybe some clue as to why Spader&#8217;s Reddington cares so much about Boone&#8217;s Elizabeth Keen.<\/p>\n<p><em>State of Affairs<\/em> &#8211; Katherine Heigl returns to television as a CIA analyst whose husband, the president&#8217;s son, has been assassinated.\u00a0 Planned to take over for <em>The Blacklist<\/em> in November, I may give it a shot.\u00a0 Despite her reputation, I do have a long-standing soft spot for Heigl.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scorpion<\/em> &#8211; Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure about this one.\u00a0 The early previews look a little silly, something akin to last season&#8217;s <em>Mind Games<\/em>, but I surprisingly enjoyed Katharine McPhee in <em>Smash<\/em>, so I might give this a once over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 2 of our look at the new fall television season brings us to Mondays. 7:00 The Big Bang Theory &#8211;
