Yes, we define our Fridays by MacGyver and Marvel’s Inhumans but tonight, we have the added odd twist of Michael Jackson’s Halloween, a new cartoon special featuring the music of the deceased King of Pop – which is creepy sounding enough as is. Featuring an all star cast of voices, this seems like something base curiosity demands you watch. Oh, Season 3 of Blindspot premieres, Game 3 of the World Series moves to Houston, and Nerds play in an Injustice 2 World Championship on ELeague. Welcome to Friday, folks.
8pm Hour:
1st Choice: Blindspot. The Season 3 premiere picks up 18 months after the finale when the Tattoo Team is brought back together due to a new crisis. NBC
2nd Choice: Michael Jackson’s Halloween. The King of Pop has been dead for years and yet, his music is the star of this new Halloween Cartoon Special? I dunno, I really don’t, but it seems like something worth checking out. If for no other reason than to see the Thriller dance … they have to do the Thriller dance, right? Actually, the voice actors are a pretty impressive bunch, including Christine Baranski, Alan Cumming, George Eads, Brad Garrett, Lucy Liu, Jim Parsons and Lucas Till (you’ll note these are mostly big CBS property names). This special is the production of the company which now administers Jackson’s estate which explains so much. Read: $$$$ CBS
