Television Premieres and Notables: April 17-23, 2017

Monday, 4/17

24: Legacy (Fox; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.

2 Broke Girls (CBS; 8:30 pm CST). Season Finale.


Tuesday, 4/18

Famous in Love; Freeform. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.

Trial & Error (NBC; 9 pm CST). Series Finale.
It really was a shame NBC moved it all over the place, filling schedule holes, but it really was a wackily charming series.
Do yourself a favor and catch up OnDemand or online or wherever you go to watch things after they air.

Wednesday, 4/19

The Magicians (Syfy; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.

Fargo; FX. 9 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
I am looking forward to this one like no other this season,
The second season was the most perfect season of TV I've seen since The Wire season 4; I mean, there were only two small missteps (involving strange lights; if you watched S2, you know what I'm referring to) that really didn't detract from it..
This season, Ewan McGregor plays twins; one successful, one not so much. The not-so-much brother decides to hire a not-so-reliable person to steal something for him-- and, as you can imagine, it goes south. This being Fargo, you know it's goes south in a big, ever-expanding way.
And if this season is like the last two, there will be lots of incredible supporting actors (the always-great Mary Elizabeth Winstead is one) to delight in watching.
