Charity really does begin at home in the new episode of “Life in Pieces.”
In an exclusive clip of Thursday’s episode obtained by TheWrap, the family is discussing what they will do with money left behind by Gigi. Greg (Colin Hanks) feigns reluctance to discuss his plans for the money, only to reveal moments later he is anonymously donating it to his old high school track team.
Also in this week’s episode, Tim (Dan Bakkedahl) accidentally shaves off a huge chunk of eyebrow before an important photo shoot.
He then hopes Jen (Zoe Lister-Jones) and Colleen’s (Angelique Cabral) grooming expertise can fix it. Later, John (James Brolin) learns firsthand what Gigi’s life was like at the nursing home, and Joan (Dianne Wiest) honors her mother’s memory with unusual jewelry.
The series was created by Justin Adler, who serves as an executive producer alongside Aaron Kaplan, Jason Winer, Jeff Morton and Brad Copeland. 20th Century Fox Television produces in association with Kapital Entertainment.
“Life in Pieces” airs Thursday at 9:30 p.m./8:30c on CBS.
11 Early Winners and Losers of the Fall TV Season (Photos)
Winner: MacGyver This reboot of the classic 80's series defied the conventional wisdom that a Friday night timeslot equals death for a new show. Instead, the show has managed to maintain solid ratings and recently scored a full-season order.
CBS
Loser: Pure Genius The only new CBS fall show to premiere to soft ratings, this medical drama starring Augustus Prew and Dermot Mulroney opened to just 6.2 million viewers and a 1.0 rating. And as shows tend to dip in their subsequent weeks, this one could be ripe for cancellation already.
CBS
Winner: Supergirl's CW move The Girl of Steel went from being a bubble show on CBS to the top-rated show on The CW. This was a no-brainer.
The CW
Loser: Notorious "Notorious" has the unfortunate distinction of being the first fall show to have its episode order cut - essentially a cancellation.
ABC
Winner: This Is Us Who knew a wholesome, earnest family drama would be the breakout hit of the fall TV season? NBC needed a hit, and it got one in Dan Fogelman's latest.
NBC
Winner: Lethal Weapon Among the hits and misses of movies being turned into TV shows, Fox's redo of the Mel Gibson cop comedy is firmly in the "hit" column, thanks to the strong chemistry between the two leads.
Fox
Winner: Jeff Zucker We may all come out losers when this election is finally decided, but with the way CNN has cashed in on ratings thanks to Trump's antics, CNN boss Jeff Zucker definitely won't be one.
CNN
Winner: FX Move over, HBO and AMC. From "Fargo" to "American Horror Story" to "Atlanta" to "Better Things," FX has become the go-to cable network for quality programming.
FX
Loser: Divorce Sarah Jessica Parker's big return to TV and the network of "Sex and the City" didn't make much of a splash, and "Insecure" and "Westworld" are both buzzier.
HBO
Winner: Designated Survivor Kiefer Sutherland's return to TV was a resounding success, and "Designated Survivor" is a hit with audiences and critics alike.
ABC
Loser: NFL Games There are only a few guarantees in life: death, taxes, and strong TV ratings for NFL games. That last one has been a bit shaky thus far this season, however, as weak match-ups, sloppy play, altered rules and even a contagious national anthem protest have turned a significant number of viewers off.
