9:00-10:00 p.m. – “Sleepy Hollow“:
“What if you suddenly woke up from the throes of death 250 years in the future to find the world is on the brink of destruction, caused by unimaginable events, and you are humanity’s last hope? Welcome to ‘Sleepy Hollow,’ the thrilling new mystery-adventure drama from co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (“Star Trek” and “Transformers” franchises, “Fringe”). In this modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers.”
Tuesday

8:30-9:00 p.m. – “Brooklyn Nine-Nine“:
“Detective Jake Perlata (Andy Samberg) is a good enough cop that he’s never had to work that hard or follow the rules too closely. … That is, until the precinct gets a new commanding officer, Captain Ray Holt (Braugher), who reminds this hotshot cop to respect the badge.”

Now, as head of their platoon, Pete must serve both as big brother and military boss. Corporal Derrick Hill (Chris Lowell) is the middle brother — smart and sarcastic, he likes to stir up trouble and doesn’t really care about being a soldier. Private Randy Hill (Parker Young), on the other hand, loves it.”

“24: Live Another Day” to return in 2014
As for the return of Jack Bauer and “24,” Fox executives confirmed the rumors.
Fox’s Chairman of Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, confirmed to press during a conference call on Monday that Kiefer Sutherland’s Agent Jack Bauer is back in an event series that’ll run over 12 weeks.
As had been previously reported, there was much talk surrounding a “24” movie, but, Reilly said, the creative team “all agreed that ’24’ compressed into two hours is not ’24.'” But with Fox’s new mission to run event programming, “a lightbulb went off for [former executive producer] Howard Gordon,” Reilly said. “This is the perfect form.”
Called “24: Live Another Day,” the episodes would “go in chronological order of the day, but skip hours,” Reilly said, as “dictated by the plot.”
The plan is to air “24: Live Another Day” in early May 2014, and have it run through the summer to lead into Fox’s other event program, M. Night Shyamalan’s “Wayward Pines” starring Matt Dillon.
