Sophomore year
"Grown-ish" may be a spinoff of "Black-ish," but its closest relative is "A Different World," although I don't remember Denise dealing with a gay roommate and drug addiction. The show deals with even more mature topics as it launches its second season, but Minnesotan Yara Shahidi leads the cast with a light touch. As a comic actress, she continues growing more confident.

Who you gonna call?
"Mythbusters Jr.," an offshoot of the popular science series that has kids taking on the bulk of the lab work, is a noble idea. But the premiere, which incorporates the many uses of duct tape, keeps getting interrupted by grown-up Adam Savage, who is way too interested in looking back at old clips from the original show. These youngsters, including South Dakota's Allie Weber, are too smart — and too interesting — to have so much adult supervision.

Hiding in plain sight
In "The Masked Singer," supposedly famous figures perform while wearing costumes lifted from mascots for an S&M club's flag football league. Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger are among the panelists trying to figure out who's under the costumes — and what happened to their own once-thriving careers.
