‘Hello, Tomorrow!,’ ‘Perfect Match,’ ‘Animal Control,’ ‘American Idol,’ and everything else you don’t want to miss on TV this week

 

MONDAY

The Bachelor: The international leg begins in The Bahamas. 7 p.m., ABC

Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!: Here’s the thing: any employer has the right to fire someone for offensive behavior. While headlining a primetime program on their network, Roseanne Barr made hateful racist comments on a public platform which shone a bad light on ABC as her employer, and they were well within their rights to no longer want to be associated with her. THIS IS NOT “CANCELING” SOMEONE. IT’S FIRING A BAD EMPLOYEE. 
Anyway, this comedy special was taped here in Houston, which is not entirely surprising but bums me out nonetheless. Fox Nation
