Brooklyn Nine-Nine: After a brief hiatus, season five of this hilarious comedy about a group of detectives in New York's fictional 99th Precinct returns tonight. It's been far too long since Andy Samberg's been on my television screen. 8:30 P.M. ET on Fox
ZEE MACHINE, Brainchemistry: This queer pop singer's debut EP is a ridiculously catchy blend of zipping, '80s-inspired synths and soulful vocals. Think Adam Lambert meets Lady Gaga with a dash of Queen mixed in. Bops on bops! Now available on iTunes and Spotify

Santa Clarita Diet: SCD left things in a strange place last season: Sheila (Drew Barrymore), still a flesh-craving zombie, has essentially blockaded herself off from her family so she won't be a danger to them, and Joel's (Timothy Olyphant) locked in a mental hospital.
