Monday, October 13th

All times are Eastern

THE BIG BANG THEORY | 8:00-8:30pm | CBS
By: Dylan Siegman | @Dsiggy15

So far, this season hasn't really made me laugh out loud as much as others have, so I'm beginning to think that possibly Chuck Lorre has jumped the shark. Seeing as the cast recently signed new three year contracts, I hope I can be proved wrong... and soon. However, I have enjoyed Penny's character development and Raj's new relationship this season. If the show gets back to being as funny as it used to be, everything will be fine.

THE ORIGINALS | 8:00 - 9:00pm | The CW
By: Jennifer McHugh | @eponineq

Will Klaus and Elijah find out that Daddy's alive? Or Mommy? Or their brothers? Last week we found out a lot of people are not as dead as previously thought, but I guess on a show dealing with vampires and other supernatural beings, that shouldn't be all that surprising.

GOTHAM | 8:00-9:00pm | Fox
By: Jeffrey Walker | @JeffWalker66

This week, young master Bruce looks rookie detective Jim Gordon in the eye and asks the most important question possible, "Can Gotham be saved?" What a loaded question! Especially since we have seen Bruce watching with interest the work of Gotham's first vigilante, Balloonman. We all know how Wayne and Gordon will figure into the safety of the city years later, but it's been fun to see how things began on GOTHAM.

THE VOICE | 8:00-10:00pm | NBC
By: Matt Tamanini | @BWWMatt

Well, tonight is generally where my interest in NBC's juggernaut singing competition wanes. As we transition from the compelling Blind Auditions to the disappointing Battle Rounds, it always annoys me that so much time and attention is focused on the coaches and the guest mentors. Yes, I love the fact that the singers are getting expert tutelage, but the show's attention should be, you know, on the contestants. I am glad that Mark Burnett and company instituted the Save a few seasons back, as it keeps quality singers in the game longer, but it is just another way to turn the attention back onto the coaches. I will be recapping the events tonight, so hopefully new coaches Pharrell and Gwen can keep the show centered on the singer.


So, what are you gonna be watching tonight? What's getting DVRed, and what's get left behind? Let us know in the comments below or on social media. With the new season kicking off, BWW TV World will have recaps of GOTHAM, THE ORIGINALS, DANCING WITH THE STARS, THE VOICE, SCORPION, SLEEPY HOLLOW, CASTLE, THE BLACKLIST, and more.
