Prime Picks
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX): New. Rosa brings in a perp that may have info on an elusive car thief that Jake has been after for years. Starts at the half hour after a new Dads.
Intelligence (CBS): Series Premiere. A highly trained agent with a computer chip in his head and the secret service agent assigned to protect him try to track down an abducted member of their team. Next new episode plays Monday in its regular timeslot following the two-hour comedy block. Solid opener to this actioner with a very good cast and good potential. If you ever wondered what Chuck would have been like had Bryce Larkin gotten the Intersect, this may be it. As it plays as a more serious version of that show.
Justified (FX): Season Premiere. Raylan heads to Florida and ends up getting involved with another faction of the Crowe family. Boyd heads to Detroit to get his drug shipments back on track. Runs 75 minutes. Plays twice and again later. Great start to the new season with lots or returning and new familiar faces.
Solid Selections
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (ABC): New. Coulson finds out some info about his death, but it may come at a high cost for the team. Runs 61 minutes. I sure hope we get some answers.

- The Goldbergs (ABC): New. Pops doesn’t like how Murray does business at the shop. Starts a minute after the hour and runs 30 minutes.
