CRITIC’S CORNER
KEVIN CAN WAIT CBS, 8 ET/PT
Kevin James’ disappointingly clunky new sitcom moves into its regular time period Monday, where it will provide a lead-in for Matt LeBlanc’s even more disappointing Man With a Plan (8:30 ET/PT). If nothing else, Kevin’s making the move with a great guest attached, Everybody Loves Raymond’s Ray Romano — who’s bringing his son Matt along for extra measure. Romano’s Raymond, by the way, was the last CBS sitcom to win the best-comedy Emmy, back in 2005. If last week’s almost unwatchably awful Kevin episode, or Man’s similarly dismal first two installments, are a fair guide, don’t count on either show to break that CBS losing streak.
SUPERGIRL CW, 8 ET/PT
When it comes to booking guest stars, who could be a more appropriate visitor to Supergirl than Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter? (Q&A, 3D). Don’t get your superhero hopes up too high, however — she’s not playing Wonder Woman this time. Instead, Carter guests as the president, whose visit to National City is marred by an alien attack and launches a alien-rights controversy.
LUCIFER FOX, 9 ET/PT
Then there are those guest-casting choices that may strike you as, let’s say, curious. Michael Imperioli, an Emmy-winner for The Sopranos, joins this show as the Angel Uriel, brother to Lucifer and Amenadiel. It is not a happy family reunion.
