On TV this Friday: Touch spills its secrets, the Undercover Boss hits the gym, Nikita enters crisis mode and Fashion Star dabbles in androgyny. As a supplement to TVLine’s original features (linked within), here are 10 programs to keep on your radar.

8 pm Fashion Star (NBC) | The contestants must design a garment, then alter it for both a man and a woman. (Tilda Swinton’s not guest-judging this one? Bummer.)
8 pm Happy Endings (ABC) | In back-to-back episodes, Penny rebounds from some bad news by having an affair with the Car Czar (returning guest star Rob Corddry), and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Franklin & Bash) reprises his role as the ex-roommate whose life Max ruined. (Note: These episodes were pre-empted last week.)

9 pm Shark Tank (ABC) | A Massachusetts mother-and-daughter team hope the sharks will bite at their homemade cupcake-in-a-jar business. (If I were on that panel, ladies, you’d have me at “cupcake.”)

Grimm isn’t on tonight, they moved it to Tuesday
Grimm doesn’t start airing on Tuesday nights until this Tuesday, April 30th. It’s still airing in its usual timeslot tonight.
“Volcanalis” did indeed air last night. In my timezone it was pre-empted last week by Boston suspect capture news. Excellent episode by the way. Now another new ep Tuesday!
Huh… I thought so too, but my TV says a new episode is on tonight. My TV’s ads say its on next Tuesday.
Kimberly you forgot Doctor who and Orphan black!!!!!

Nikita is the best ever. Please dont cancel it
Happy Endings & Touch
My only appointment TV tonight is Live at Lincoln Center’s concert of Rogers & Hammerstein’s Carousel on PBS. I saw it live last month, and I can’t wait to see it again. Beautifully performed. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys musicals.
Nikita, Grimm and then Blue Bloods!
NIKITA!!!
But in my country I can watch tomorrow.
GRIMM!
Happy Endings!
Touch, Grimm, Real Time
Make sure you check your DVR for Grimm. Tonight is the episode that was pre-empted from last week. My DVR missed that and it was not scheduled to record. I had to set it up manually.
Nikita should be renewed please watch it live so that the ratings go up this week :)
