FX's intriguing new 1980s spy drama The Americans premieres

1. The Americans

10:00pm on FX

I am very intrigued by this new FX show and will definitely be checking it out. Keri Russell stars in the series that centers around Russian sleepers operating in the United States in the 1980s. It feels very much in the vein of Homeland and 24 (set in the 80s) and if the quality is close to that good, it will be a win. NOTE: the pilot runs 97 minutes, so make sure your DVRs are set correctly.

2. Workaholics

10:00pm on Comedy Central

Watching The Daily Show last night, I remember thinking the new Workaholics commercial was very interesting and overall pretty awesome and stylized. However, now I can't even remember what the theme of it was, so maybe they couldn't have been THAT memorable.

3. The Kroll Show

10:30pm on Comedy Central

Picked up for another season, the Kroll Show seems to be a win for the funny channel.

4. Arrow

8:00pm on The CW

Oliver gets involved with Thea and vertigo, but it's not what it sounds like.

So far the early buzz for The Americans has been pretty positive, it certainly isn't getting thrashed like Following was.

Also people should watch Arrow it's actually pretty OK and Stephen Amell has nice abs.

The Americans was good last night.

I need to try Arrow. Supernatural was interesting with a new look at John's side of the family.

Dig Deeper into The Americans

A pair of KGB agents in 1981 infiltrate the U.S.A. shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. They pose as a married couple, but the husband's affinity for the American life and the arrival of a new neighbour threaten their mission.
