"Motive" identifies the killer and the victim at the opening of the show, and then hangs with the detectives as they catch the killer and figure out the "why."

Starting Thursday of this week, "Motive" moves to 9 right before "Rookie Blue," which returns for its fourth season.

Meanwhile, Rusty and Raydor question whether they can trust Rusty's father. (I'm way more invested in this Rusty storyline than I ever thought I would be.)

Castle (10pm, ABC) - Castle and Beckett look into the auction of a storage unit, which may be tied to a woman's murder, and soon they find themselves mingling with both treasure hunters and socialites.

Jason O'Mara ("Life on Mars") stars as a Chicago cop from the 22nd century who travels 85 million years into the past to give his family a better shot at survival (the 2149 earth has become almost unlivable due to overpopulation and pollution).

The CBS sitcom "Mike & Molly" will address Marie-Claire magazine's infamous "fatties" insult on their upcoming Thanksgiving episode of the show.

The controversial blog post by relationship blogger Maura Kelly was called "Should Fatties Get a Room (Even on TV)?" and in it, Kelly said overweight characters on TV should not get intimate because it grosses her out. Kelly's blog post received more than 1,300 comments, nearly all of them negative. Kelly and her publisher have both apologized for being "insensitive."

During the summer press tour "Mike and Molly" (CBS, 9:30 tonight) executive producer Chuck Lorre (also creator of "Two and a Half Men") insisted the show wasn't all fat jokes. The show, he said, was about the beginning of a relationship with people who just happen to be fat.

I can't say he lied; the first episode is perhaps 80 percent fat jokes, with the rest of the material featuring stereotypes about Africans, random crudeness, and some sweet moments. Maybe the percent changes in later episodes.

But the first episode of "Mike and Molly" made me sad. That's mostly because the two leads are actually quite good. Billy Gardell ("My Name Is Earl") is Mike and Melissa McCarthy ("Gilmore Girls") is Molly; both are completely likable and have a nice chemistry.

Tonight marks the beginning of a super-crazy-insane week of television premieres. So get an extra DVR, call in sick for work, do whatever you have to do. Here we go...

Also, Robin has trouble getting over Don and Marshall can't stop talking about starting a family.

Rules of Engagement (8:30pm, CBS) - Season 5 begins. Apart from the fact that Jaime Pressly is back, there's not too much to say about it. In other yawn-inducing news, "Two and a Half Men" begins their 8th season at 9pm. In that premiere, Charlie thinks it's time he cut back on his drinking. Insert your own joke.

House (8pm, Fox) - The seventh season premiere is a Huddy lovefest. House and Cuddy are holed up in his apartment exploring their feelings for each other while House keeps Cuddy from finding out about a crisis at the hospital. More about Huddy love here.

What is the grand CBS plan for fall?

Well, they canceled a whole bunch of stuff yesterday, and they're switching the nights for "CSI: New York" and "CSI: Miami." They'll also move "Survivor" from Thursdays to Wednesdays, and move "Big Bang Theory" from Monday to Thursday. Following "Big Bang" will be a new William Shatner sitcom called "$#*! My Dad Says."

Here's how things shake out (new shows in bold):
