Mike Hughes on TV

1) “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” 8:30 p.m., NBC. Bobby Moynihan has been everywhere lately. He did a recent “Saturday Night Live” and is a regular on “NCIS: Origins” (including a key flashforward with Mark Harmon) and on this show: He plays Reggie’s freeloading ex-teammate (shown here, right); now come funny twists as people ponder his value.

1) “Cupertino,” 8-11 p.m., CBS. If you haven’t been watching this terrific show (10 p.m. Thursdays), here’s the perfect way to start. At 9 and 10 p.m. are reruns of the first two episodes, showing a mismatched duo launching a tiny law firm. At 8 is a great new episode — a serious, life-and-death tale, encased in the fun of all sides stuck in a traffic jam (shown here) grasping for a sort of street justice. Read more…

1) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. Once confined to the internet, Druski (shown here) has expanded. The one-named comedian hosted the BET Awards in June and now has his first time hosting “SNL”; it’s the fifth for the Strokes as music guest. Druski, 32, started with YouTube comedy, then was in music videos and started a record label with online auditions. Read more…

1) “Sheriff Country” and “Fire Country,” 8 and 9 p.m., CBS. Here’s a high-stakes, crossover event that has both shows’ stars — including Matt Lauria and Max Thieriot, shown here — in each hour. A prison break escalates into a hostage crisis; the sheriff must make a quick, personal decision. The second hour has a manhunt, amid efforts to protect loved ones. Read more…

1) “Elsbeth,” 9 p.m., CBS. After resting last week (to make room for a “Ghosts” special), this takes Elsbeth to a golf course. There’s been a prize-winning hole-in-one and the death of the country club president. Already a good show, this improved by adding Christine Ebersole (shown here) as Elsbeth’s mom; now they meet the future mother-in-law of Elsbeth’s son. Read more…

1) “Chicago Fire,” 9 p.m., NBC. A subtly perfect performance by Joe Minoso (shown here) sparks the show’s 300th episode. He plays Cruz, struggling to recover from injuries and get back to work. There are quietly moving scenes with Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Herrmann (David Eigenberg, who also gets some comic moments when it’s time for new photos). Read more…
