Other Options

• Awkward. (MTV): Fall Premiere. Jenna hooks up with Colin. Plays again later.
• Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX): New. Amy has to go on patrol with Charles in costume. Jake thinks he can steal Holt’s Medal of Valor. Starts at the half hour after Dads and runs 30 minutes. FOX has picked the show up for a full season.
• Homeland (SHO2): Repeat. This past Sunday night’s episode, “Game On,” replays. Plays again later on Showtime.
• Masters of Sex (SHO2): Repeat. This past Sunday night’s episode, “Thank You for Coming,” replays. Plays again later on Showtime.
• NCIS (CBS): New. DiNozzo harkens back to his time in the Baltimore Police Department.
• NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS): New. The girlfriend of a former Navy officer gets abducted and some demands get made for classified intel. Deeks breaks one of Hetty’s rules. Runs 61 minutes.
• The Originals (The CW): New. Davina gets Marcel to let her attend a big street musical festival. Hayley gets some shocking news from a doctor.
• Ravenswood (ABC Family): Series Premiere. Caleb decides to stay in Ravenswood to help out a new friend and has to deal with some unfriendly locals that makes him begin to rethink things. Another new friend helps Caleb begin to investigate some of the strange occurrences in the town. Runs 61 minutes. Plays twice and again later. Interesting mystery gets setup and the show is well done on the eerily spooky scale, but I have a problem with this show being attached to Pretty Little Liars. They now take place in the same world, but there has never been anything supernatural about Liars and this show seems to be all about that type of stuff. Would probably like it better if it wasn’t spinning off of Liars. Maybe once it kind of distances itself from the previous, it will be better.
• Strike Back (MoMAX): Repeat. This past Friday night’s third season finale episode replays.

Sports Note

• ESPN2 has college football action with Louisiana (Lafayette) at Arkansas State.

Late Night

• Strike Back (Cinemax): Repeat. This past Friday night’s third season finale episode replays.
