Lynch, Lopez each begin new year with new show BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Jane Lynch makes the most of her turn in “Angel From Hell” (9:30 p.m., CBS, TV-14). That’s pretty much all you need to know about this new sitcom. Its thin premise involves pretty workaholic dermatologist Allison (Maggie Lawson, “Psych”), who encounters Amy (Lynch), a mysterious stranger who claims to be her celestial guardian. Amy knows things of a private, intimate and even scatological nature about Allison and shows up at the oddest times just to give her a push in the right direction. If she’s from heaven, then why does she act (and, presumably, smell) like an alcoholic street person? The notion of a mere mortal who’s a bit of a stiff with a supernatural secret friend is hardly new or original. It helps that Lynch plays her role as magical derelict to the hilt. She projects the off-kilter, say-anything anarchy of a young Bill Murray channeled by the sassy-old-broad spirit of the late Elaine Stritch. One almost expects CBS to create a blooper reel of the many times Lynch cracks up Lawson and other cast members, including Kevin Pollak. An improvisational legend, Lynch has made a career of stealing movies from betterknown talents (“The 40-YearOld Virgin,” “Best in Show,” “Walk Hard,” “Talladega Nights”). But in all of those movies, she burst out of relatively small parts. Is her role at the center of “Angel” just too much of a good thing? Probably not. • A game supporting cast and well-crafted plotting cannot distinguish “Shades of Blue” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14) from a glut of police procedurals. It doesn’t help that its notable star, Jennifer Lopez, is its weakest element. As “Blue” begins, detective Harlee Santos (Lopez) is already talking to her vanity, asking herself why and when it all went wrong. We meet her as a feisty cop who belongs to a tight-knit Brooklyn unit. They take care of their own, and they share when they shake down local criminals for protection. After an incident goes south, they concoct stories to get past the internal affairs investigation. Ray Liotta (“Goodfellas”)

CW, r, TV-14) * Questions of compatibility on “Life in Pieces” (8:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) * Christy aims to please on “Mom” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14) * Freya tries to reverse a curse on “The Originals” (9 p.m., CW, r, TV-14).

CULT CHOICE Kurt Russell and Ernest Borgnine star in the 1981 dystopian fantasy “Escape from New York” (10 p.m., This TV).

LATE NIGHT

PETER KRAMER / NBC

Jennifer Lopez stars as Detective Harlee Santos in NBC’s new police procedural “Shades of Blue” premiering at 10 p.m. today. plays the gang’s leader, Lt. Matt Wozniak, a man who takes a paternal interest in Santos and her daughter. Drea de Matteo (“The Sopranos”) also stars. Their presence cannot redeem the script from clunky, unnatural dialogue (e.g., “Just where do I go to get back my soul?”). It’s not enough that Santos’ daughter is bright. She has to be a brilliant, Juilliard-bound cellist. But the central problem here is that Lopez, famous for being a glamorous pop star, is woefully miscast as a mere civil servant. • The search for the least-interesting network show may be over. “My Diet Is Better Than Yours” (9 p.m., ABC) debuts tonight. • One would think that the gruesome reality TV exploitation of Bobbi Kristina Brown and her subsequent death would inspire some reflection about exposing the children of flamboyant pop stars. But thinking is not what “Growing Up Hip Hop” (10 p.m., WE, TV14) is all about. • Hideous stage mothers and helicopter parents of a more cerebral sort (rather than, say, “Dance Moms”) play a pivotal part in “Child Genius: Battle of the Brightest” (8 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG). • The cable hit “Lip Sync Battle” (10 p.m., Spike, TV-PG) returns for a second season with

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum.

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Aram and Red go all out for Elizabeth’s safety on “The Blacklist” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14). • Watson’s work may have inspired a shadowy author on “Elementary” (10 p.m., CBS, TV14). • Jack McBrayer joins the

cast of the absurd David Cross comedy “Todd Margaret” (10 p.m., IFC, TV-MA), entering its third season.

SERIES NOTES A subtle sales call on “The Big Bang Theory” (8 p.m., CBS, TVPG) * Human extinction is on the table on “Heroes Reborn” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14) * Stefan and Damon continue their search on “The Vampire Diaries” (8 p.m.,

Dalia Mogahed is booked on “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” (11 p.m., Comedy Central) * Ricky Gervais, Marsai Martin and Rory Scovel appear on “Conan” (11 p.m., TBS) * Damian Lewis, America Ferrera and the Floyd-Little Double Dutch Team are booked on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” (11:35 p.m., CBS) * Jimmy Fallon welcomes Mark Ruffalo and Kendrick Lamar on “The Tonight Show” (11:35 p.m., NBC) * Cate Blanchett, Kevin Durant and Vance Joy appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (11:35 p.m., ABC) * Tim Roth, La La Anthony, Jillian Bell and Charlotte Newhouse visit “Late Night With Seth Meyers” (12:35 a.m., NBC) * Gael Garcia Bernal and Meghan Trainor appear on “The Late Late Show With James Corden” (12:35 a.m., CBS).
