Kate Walsh Ever notice that putting “bad” in Gina Rodriguez
front of an occupation seems like a standard in comedies nowadays? Just as in Bad Teacher, the central character on Bad Judge is an unapologetic sort, who doesn’t give an eff what society thinks. Kate Walsh is the title character channeling her in- ner Judge Judy. Thursdays at 9 p.m. on NBC. Jane The Virgin (Gina Rodriguez) finds herself in quite a pickle, without laying her hand on one, when she is acciden- tally artificially inseminated during her gynecologist appointment. Ay dios mio! And even though it’s based on a Venezuelan telenovela, this one is a comedy,, and one of its co-creators also helped bring Ugly Betty to American television. Mondays at 9 p.m. on CW.
Viola Davis
How To Get Away With Murder stars Viola Davis—girl, isn’t it a little early to be “slum- ming” on TV? She plays a criminal defense professor who helps her underlings,
including Liza Weil
(Gilmore Girls) and Matt McGorry (Orange is the New Black), when they all become embroiled in a murder plot. Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC. Davis’ The Help co-star, Octavia Spencer, headlines Red Band So- ciety, a dramedy that chronicles the lives of patients living in a children’s hospital and features former Brothers & Sisters actor doc
Dave Annable playing doctor. , Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
DOWN THE ROAD APIECE These shows will see the light of day after others bite the dust: The Whispers will have Aiden from Revenge (Barry Sloane), Misty
thing underdogs on Fox.
Day from American Horror Story: Coven (Lily Rabe) and Peter Patrelli from Heroes (Milo Vitameatavegamin [Ventimiglia]) dealing with an alien invasion that has to do with children. ABC. Weird Loners brings Happy Endings hottie Zachary Knighton and Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton back to comedic TV as 30-some- dogs

Well, that would explain his nicely coiffed hair and sleeveless in the midst

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO The Flash, a.k.a. Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) becomes
a superhero during a freak accident and turns into the fastest man in the world. Not to be confused with the little-known ’70s comic book hero, The Flasher, who had the distinction of being the floppiest man alive. Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on CW. Another kind of superhero show coming to the
small screen is Gotham. But, don’t expect a certain Dark Knight to tell TV audiences “I’m Batman,” as it’s a prequel to all things caped crusader. Look for a young Commissioner Gordon (Ben
McKenzie), Catwoman/Selina Kyle (Camren Bicon- dova) and Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) to populate the fictional city. Think of it as Jim Henson’s Batman Babies. Mondays at 8 p.m. on Fox.

Though there won’t be a boatload of LGBT happening
are some racially diverse shows happening with two ABC shows, Black-ish and Cristela. So that’s something good for equality and for those that want to watch something other than WPP (white people problems).
Of course, there are still the holdover gay characters on shows like Modern Family, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Major Crimes, Scandal, Revenge, Looking, Orange is the New Black, Glee, Vicious, The Fosters, Downton Ab- bey, The Good Wife, Grey’s Anatomy, Nashville, Brooklyn Nine Nine and pretty much anything on ABC
ABC Family. HAPPY VIEWING!
