Tonight is the series premiere of The Great Holiday Baking Show on ABC at 10/9c. Based on the hit UK series The Great British Bake Off and hosted by Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and husband Ian Gomez (Cougar Town), The Great Holiday Baking Show stars some of the nation’s best amateur bakers as they compete in a series of themed challenges and eliminations, all hoping to be crowned Holiday Baking Champion. For four weeks, James Beard Award-Winning pastry chef and author, Johnny Iuzzini, joins England’s “Royal Queen of Baking,” author and television personality Mary Berry, as they judge the decadent and delicious holiday fare these bakers create as they throw down their best culinary skills.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Superstore on NBC at 10/9c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 10:30/9:30c. America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) and Ben Feldman (Mad Men, A to Z) star in the hilarious workplace comedy (from the producer of The Office) about a unique family of employees at a super-sized megastore. The show centers around Amy (Ferrera), the store’s most stalwart employee as well as the glue holding the place together, and newly hired Jonah (Feldman), a naive dreamer determined to prove work doesn’t have to be boring. Their fellow associates include the sardonic Garrett (Colton Dunn, Key and Peele), the ambitious Mateo (Nico Santos, Mulaney), and the sweet pregnant teenager, Cheyenne (Nichole Bloom, Shameless). Overseeing them all are Glenn (Mark McKinney, Kids in the Hall) the store’s affable, clueless store manager, and Dina (Lauren Ash, Super Fun Night), the aggressive assistant manager who lives by a very specific code — namely the store’s employee handbook. From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all veterans to the clueless summer hires and the in-it-for-life managers, together they hilariously tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions.
 
Finally, tonight is the complete first season premiere of Real Rob! on Netflix at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. The scripted series is an exaggerated yet brutally honest depiction of Schneider’s real life. Rob lives in two worlds, one where he’s the most important person on set, and the other, where he’s the third most important person in a three-person household, after his two-year-old daughter, Miranda, and his younger Mexican wife, Patricia. Patricia doesn’t quite grasp Rob’s level of fame, because when he was getting his first movie role, she was getting her first tricycle. Rob lives a life where his stalker is more reliable than his assistant, while his assistant is creepier than his stalker. Real Rob! is a “close to the bone” portrayal of the internationally famous comedian, from the ups and downs of celebrity life, to the closer to home issues Rob faces daily with his wife and daughter. Season 1 guest stars include George Lopez, David Spade, and Norm Macdonald.
