Each week, Variety’s TV team combs through the week’s schedule, selecting our picks of what to watch and when/how to watch them. This week, the broadcast networks begin rolling out their new shows as well as returning shows. In addition, the documentary “Jane Fonda in Five Acts” debuts on HBO. “Jane Fonda in Five Acts,” HBO, Monday, 8 p.m. This new documentary draws on 21 hours of interviews with Fonda, who speaks candidly and frankly about her life and her missteps. She explores the pain of her mother’s suicide, her father’s emotional unavailability, 30 years of an eating disorder and three marriages to highly visible, yet diametrically opposed, men “Magnum P.I.,” CBS, Monday, 9 p.m. Jay Hernandez stars as Thomas Magnum in a modern take on the classic series about a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator in Hawaii. “Manifest,” NBC, Monday, 10 p.m. (CRITICS’ PICK) Had it premiered during “Lost’s” run, “Manifest” would have seemed like more of the same, yet another show constructing a fictional supernatural crisis to afflict a band of good-looking unfortunates. But against a somewhat moribund fall network slate, it feels like the best kind of throwback: A show made with craft and attention to detail, even as its details are daffily indulgent. A true puzzle-box show of the sort that cable and streaming — with series like “Westworld” and the forthcoming “Maniac” — have lately made work so well ought to have a home on broadcast. The pilot of “Manifest” doesn’t pretend to have answers; it only poses questions. But its inquisitiveness and willingness to be bold and fairly uncynical given all the things it’s trying to be is more than welcome. (Read the full review here) “FBI,” CBS, Tuesday, 9 p.m. From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind the “Law & Order” franchise, this new drama series documents the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Single Parents,” ABC, Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. This ensemble comedy follows a group of single parents as they lean on each other to help raise their 7-year-old kids and maintain some kind of personal lives outside of parenthood. “A Million Little Things,” ABC, Wednesday, 10 p.m. This new drama series follows a group of friends who were brought together years earlier under unexpected circumstances. Today, some have achieved success, others are struggling in their careers and relationships, but all of them feel stuck in life. After one of them dies by suicide, it’s just the wake-up call the others need to finally start living. “Murphy Brown,” CBS, “Thursday, 9:30 p.m. The groundbreaking sitcom about the eponymous broadcast news legend and her biting take on current events returns, now in a world of 24-hour cable, social media, “fake news” and a vastly different political climate. “Last Man Standing,” Fox, Friday, 8 p.m. The Tim Allen-led sitcom comes to Fox after its cancellation on ABC. Picking up a year after the sixth season finale, Mike and Vanessa eagerly await Eve’s visit home from the Air Force Academy. Meanwhile Ryan’s anxiety about current events leads to a shocking announcement. “The Cool Kids,” Fox, Friday, 8:30 p.m. This new multi-camera comedy follows a rowdy, rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community. “God Friended Me,” CBS, Sunday, 8:30 p.m. An outspoken atheist podcaster, finds his life turned upside down when he receives a friend request from “God” on social media and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him<doc-sep>
Binge-watching isn't just for millennials consuming entire seasons of streaming shows in one sitting. Even viewers who wonder which channel Netflix is on (per usual, ask your grandkids!) can binge on the fall TV season that begins in earnest this week. The surge of new and returning series is a feast for the eyes, a workout for the remote, and a challenge in terms of deciding what to watch and what to skip. Here are 15 titles that are worth checking out, whether because they're an entirely new show, or old shows with new revivals, or existing shows with new networks or ... you get the idea. 'Magnum P.I.' The vintage Tom Selleck vehicle revs up again, this time with Magnum as a former Navy SEAL who served in Afghanistan before becoming a private detective. Only in this version, dashing Jay Hernandez inherits the title role, sans moustache, and essential supporting character Higgins is a woman (played by Perdita Weeks). (9 p.m. Mon., CBS). More:Take heart, Detroit Tigers: New 'Magnum P.I.' still loves your hat 'Manifest' You think getting through the TSA line took forever? The passengers aboard this hours-long flight land after what they think is a few hours, but is actually five years. Whaaa? If you're up for what sounds like a reverse "Lost," this could be the time-space continuum mystery for you. And it features appealing actors like Josh Dallas ("Once Upon a Time"), and Athena Karkanis ("Zoo"). (10 p.m. Mon., NBC) 'New Amsterdam' Not since the days of Marcus Welby has a TV doctor seemed to care this much about the actual doctoring (sorry if we're getting too technical here). Ryan Eggold plays the new hospital medical director who's ready to change all the rules, forget about money and put patients first. And if he succeeds at that, will season two introduce universal healthcare? (10 p.m. Tue., NBC). 'Single Parents' "Saturday Night Live" alum Taran Killam is at the center of this ensemble comedy about moms and dads who support each other as they attempt to raise their kids alone and maintain a semblance of a social life. Also starring "Gossip Girl" graduate Leighton Meester" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" staple Brad Garrett. So far, it's shaping up to be a case of what's not to like here? (9:30 p.m. Wed., ABC). 'A Million Little Things' Although "This Is Us" returns at 9 p.m. Tuesday for your weekly emotional needs, there's always room for another crying jag. Maybe. This new drama about a group of friends begins its narrative with the unexpected death of one of them. Hmm, perhaps it will be less "This is Us" and more "The Gen X Big Chill." (10 p.m. Wed., ABC) 'Murphy Brown' Returning after 20 years off the air, the outspoken TV journalist played by Candice Bergen is back to speak truth to the Trump presidency and take on those who reduce the media to fake news. Fans of the classic sitcom only ask one thing in return: Don't ruin our memories by not living up to the high bar set by the original "Murphy"! (9:30 p.m. Thu., CBS). 'Last Man Standing' We're contractually obligated to cover metro Detroit favorite Tim Allen. No, we're not? Well, Allen actually deserves coverage in this case, because his show's cancellation by ABC despite solid ratings and subsequent resurrection by Fox was big network news this year. Both Allen and Nancy Travis are back in the family-friendly comedy, while a few of the relatives have been recast. Now it's up to viewers to vote with their eyeballs on this second chance. (8 p.m. Fri., Fox). 'The Cool Kids' Detroit's own David Alan Grier deserves a lengthy run in a hit sitcom. Could this be the one? It boasts Charlie Day from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” as an executive producer and an all-star cast that also includes Martin Mull, Vicki Lawrence and "Will and Grace" supporting player Leslie Jordan. The premise involves a group of rebels at a retirement community. Given how sitcoms usually treat seniors, we'll cross our fingers that there's some dignity and empathy along with the yuks. (8:30 p.m. Fri., Fox) 'The Neighborhood' Max Greenfield plays the chipper white Midwesterner who moves to the mostly black neighborhood. Cedric the Entertainer plays the longtime resident who's skeptical of the new kid on the block. Normally, we'd just say 1998 called and wants its daring concept back.
