It’s Friday night in the middle of winter. You want to find something to watch on broadcast TV tonight, Friday, Feb. 21.
The good news is there’s plenty to watch tonight. Some of the networks are on their rerun week, but others have new episodes of top dramas and comedies. Whether you want to laugh or cry, the broadcast networks have you covered.
Happy’s Place, SWAT, and more
Let’s start with laughter. NBC has a great heartfelt comedy series on the schedule. It’s all about Happy’s Place, and we will get a new episode tonight. That’s followed by a rerun as Lopez vs. Lopez remains off. The show has wrapped up its third season, and we’re not too happy about that. However, we do get more Reba!
In the new episode, we’ll see Bobbie trying to figure out the perfect gift for Isabella, who has got Bobbie matching sister mugs with her. It’s cute, but Bobbie’s idea is a little out there. She thinks matching tattoos is the way to go. I’m not sure Isabella will be on board for that one!
If you want a little more action, it’s all about CBS dramas on Fridays. The end of the night brings a new episode of SWAT, and it’s time to get to know a little more of Alfaro. While he’s on a dangerous mission, he ends up running into associates from a previous undercover gig. Alfaro will need to figure out how to make the previous associates believe he is not a cop and figure out a way around the case at the same time.
This is something that he should talk to Hondo about. After all, it’s easy for someone to run into an old associate from an undercover mission. That’s not the problem here. What will be the problem is if Alfaro needs to go into that undercover identity without telling anyone else.
ABC has a rerun of Shark Tank tonight. It’s all about the second episode of the season, which saw the strange invention of fried chicken-shaped ice cream. Honestly, I still don’t quite get this one, but you be the judge of it when you rewatch the episode.
