TV tonight: ‘NCIS,’ ‘Ready for Love,’ ‘Body of Proof’

 

NCIS | CBS, 8 ET/PT

It has to be at least a tad disheartening to the other networks that many of their shows do worse with original outings than CBS’ biggest hits — led by The Big Bang Theory and tonight’s powerhouse, NCIS — do in repeats. So imagine how they’re feeling today, as NCIS returns with a fresh episode that sends Tony and Ziva off to Berlin on the trail of Bodnar, played by recurring guest Oded Fehr. Though considering a very unhappy Ziva is on his trail, he might not be recurring for much longer.

Ready for Love | NBC, 9 ET/PT

Speaking of disheartened networks, there’s NBC, which has another flop on its hands with this now-cancelled, late-to-the-dating-game reality series. Some of you are no doubt shocked that the show is disappearing after less than two full weeks on the air -– and some of you are no doubt shocked that it hasn’t disappeared already. No word from NBC yet whether the three men and their multiple dates did, indeed, prove to be ready for love, but you can pretty much figure the odds for yourself.

Body of Proof | ABC, 10 ET/PT

No word yet on whether the on-the-bubble Body of Proof will be rejoining us next season, but if it is going out, it’s certainly going out with some great guests. Tonight’s outing, built around a possible murder in a mental institution, features guest turns by Joanna Cassidy, Sharon Lawrence, Craig Bierko and Luke Perry. Not too shabby for one hour.
