American Idol turns the Top 7 loose on Taylor Swift hits. A Disney+ special adapts musical numbers from recent animated films to feature American Sign Language. The prank show Foul Play With Anthony Davis targets rising NBA star Cooper Flagg and the NFL’s Marcedes Lewis. There’s a new Assistant Director in Charge on FBI.

There’s no wrong era to acknowledge the dominance of Taylor Swift in the music industry, and the Top 7 pays their homage to the chart-topping superstar in the latest round of the singing competition, performing while America votes live to decide the Top 5. Comedian Nikki Glaser joins the panel as a guest judge, while Luke Bryan performs. The episode also livestreams on Disney+.

Songs in Sign Language

Special

In recognition of National Deaf History Month, Disney Animation reimagines musical sequences from a few of the studio’s recent animated hits, revising these scenes to include interpretations of American Sign Language. Working with performers from Deaf West Theater, veteran animator/director Hyrum Osmond (whose father is deaf) has created new versions of Encanto‘s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” Frozen II‘s “The Next Right Thing,” and “Beyond” from Moana 2 with lyrics choreographed into ASL movement.

Foul Play with Anthony Davis

9/8c

No sports star is safe from NBA All-Star Anthony Davis‘ new hidden camera prank show. Last year’s No. 1 NBA draft pick, Duke alum Cooper Flagg, is this week’s victim, sent by his Dallas Mavericks coach, Jason Kidd, into a rookie symposium that spirals into chaos. Another segment features NFL tight end Marcedes Lewis, who gets more than he expected when he drops his car off with a valet.

FBI

8/7c

Special Agent in Charge Isabel Castille (Alana de la Garza) meets the new boss, Assistant Director in Charge Lawrence Green (Curtiss Cook), while her team investigates the death of an agent connected to the robbery of an FBI evidence locker. The trail leads to vigilantes who are going after a pedophile ring. Followed by CIA (10/9), with Colin (Tom Ellis) and Bill (Nick Gehlfuss) seeking a new asset to turn to stop a family-run terror cell.

Top Chef

9:45/8:45c

A highlight of any season, Restaurant Wars divides the remaining chefs into teams of four, the composition of which was complicated by Jennifer bowing out for health reasons. The quartets have only 36 hours to come up with a concept, assign duties, build a menu, and open for business. This year’s twist: They’re also going to be accepting takeout orders! Things are going to get hot in these kitchens.

INSIDE MONDAY TV:

I'll watch FBI. And who wants to bet that Jubal is going to use the phrase "one of our own," or "one of us" when mentioning the victim? (Insert laughing emoji here)

Hurray for Disney showing Disney songs in sign language. Too bad it's not available to more people, who don't have Disney Plus.

  Jubal repeats a lot of lines . Lazy writers. He’s a fine actor but he needs to have a broader vocabulary .
  
  Many popular Disney + programs air on Disney owned ABC at a later date. Possibly in summer.
  
  I would never pay extra for any streamer . Only reason I have many streamers is because they are included in my Verizon (cell phone provider) and Comcast/Xfinity (cable Internet ) packages. Sometimes I ask them if I delete the streamers would my bill decrease. The answer is always no,
  
  I even ask Comcast if I delete cable and just keep internet what would my savings be . It’s never a significant amount of savings . Might as well keep it.
  
  I watch more than enough broadcast and cable to justify it.

I do love the idea of musical sequences interpreted / reimagined into sign language and might check them out. The regular Monday stuff for us is Jeopardy, news, The Rookie, and The Daily Show, with Late Night played back tomorrow and more in the queue.

In light of what happened in last weekend Correspondent's Dinner, I'm sure both Colbert and Meyers (and Kimmel) will tread carefully on what to joke about tonight...
