In other premieres this week, XO, Kitty is back for its sophomore season, and there’s a very special guest star for all you fans of To All the Boys…(ahem, that would include me). More on that below.
With that said, I know it’s been a very heavy week. As someone who has called Los Angeles home for well over a decade, my heart goes out to everyone in the community in the wake of the devastating wildfires. Stay safe, check in on each other, and above all, be kind. (And if you’re able to, here’s how you can help the community.) I’ll see you back here next week.

Night Court (NBC): Mayim Bialik reunites with her Big Bang Theory co-star, Melissa Rauch. In the episode, Bialik plays a defendant while Rauch’s character, Judge Abby Stone, is thrilled to meet her as a fan of the 1990s sitcom Blossom. However, the situation takes a turn when Abby discovers Bialik is actually stalking her. It’s the first on-screen reunion between the two since The Big Bang Theory wrapped in 2019.
“It was so incredibly special being reunited with Mayim for this episode,” Melissa Rauch tells Glamour. “I was a tremendous Blossom fan as a kid. I even dressed up as her for Halloween. When I first met Mayim in real life I fangirled big time, so we thought it would be fun to have my character, Abby Stone, be a hardcore Bialik fan as well. Our writers crafted such a wildly hilarious episode and we had such a wonderful time doing it. Mayim is sensational playing this bizarro…and dare I say, terrifying version of herself. I’m so excited for everyone to check it out!”
And that’s not the only reunion. Bialik will also reunite with John Larroquette, who played her father on the 1990s sitcom, The John Larroquette Show. 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, 7:30 p.m. CT and streaming the next day on Peacock
