TGIF, not just because the weekend is starting but because MacGyver is back and all new tonight!! And, we get to learn how Mac and Jack met! Also on the docket, a new game show from Ricky Gervais (and hosted by Fred Savage) premieres on ABC. Ricky and Fred are reason enough for me to watch!
8pm Hour:
1st Choice: MacGyver. The bromance that started it all .. when MacGyver Met Jack. “When Mac and Jack are trapped inside Mac’s house, which his nemesis, the Ghost, has rigged with explosives, Mac uses a karaoke mic and an audio transformer to let the team know that this bomb is a distraction for a bigger one. Also, through flashbacks, Mac and Jack’s contentious first meeting unfolds.” CBS
2nd Choice: Child Support. A new game show which sounds a lot like Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader but with no Jeff Foxworthy … “In the series premiere, young kids help adults answer trivia questions for a chance to win a large cash prize.” The show is from the mind of Ricky Gervais (who also interacts with the kids) and is hosted by Fred Savage. Reason enough to watch, right there! ABC
3rd Choice: Figure Skating: U.S. Championships. Its an Olympics year which means that NBC will begin throwing Winter Olympic events at us well before the worldwide event even begins.
