TV is back in order this Tuesday, after the Vice Presidential Debate last week rocked a few things. Let’s take a look at what’s on TV tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 8.

This is a big week for many fans, as there are more shows premiering. We’ll get to find out what happened to Rose after The Irrational season 1 finale, and we’ll catch up on new stories in the Accused anthology.

The Irrational, Accused, and more

With so much on, we do need to break down a few notable mentions. After all, it can be hard to choose what to watch when there is a lot on. Next week is going to be even harder as CBS premieres start up!

The Irrational season 2 premiere airs on NBC tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT. This picks up off the back of the first season finale, where we saw Rose taken after she realized she had a flat. Well, it’s clear that this was targeted, and now Alec, Marissa, and the others will need to work together to find out where she is before it’s too late. Can Alec and Rose’s relationship survive this attack, though, considering there are a lot of secrets of Rose’s that are about to come out?

Accused season 2 also premieres tonight. This one will air at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX, although, it was originally supposed to be in the first timeslot of the night. FOX didn’t make a big deal about this change, so you’ll want to pay attention!

The episode stars Felicity Huffman. She’ll play a psychic medium, who just wants to help a couple contact their deceased son. Is she a scammer? Is that why she’s now facing trial? We’ll get Lorraine’s story through two timelines: the story of the events and the trial itself.

If you love Oprah Winfrey and her specials, then you’ll want to turn your attention to CBS to start the night. She brings a special all about the Presleys, including Lisa Marie and Elvis. Oprah will sit down with Riley Keough to talk about her mother, grandfather, and more.
