Three new network shows premiere Tuesday along with new episodes of some old favourites: NCIS is back, with Jon Cryer guest starring as a surgeon. So Gibbs is in good hands then (gulp). Starts at 8 p.m. ET on CBS/Global. Also at 8 is the two-hour premiere of the new Ryan Murphy series Scream Queens (Fox,
Cote de Pablo made headlines a year ago when she walked away from the No. 1 TV show in the world–NCIS. She’s back this week in The Dovekeepers.
