By Brooke Cain
SCHOOLED - “Money for RENT” - After Mellor tells Lainey that sports are king at William Penn, she sets out to put on the Broadway hit musical “Rent” to show Mellor the arts are just as important as athletics. Meanwhile, Glascott and CB struggle to modernize the school’s outdated boy’s health education program, on “Schooled,” airing WEDNESDAY, JAN. 23 (8:30-9:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network.

Schooled (8:30 p.m., ABC) - This new sitcom is a spinoff of “The Goldbergs” set in the ‘90s with Barry’s former girlfriend Lainey (AJ Michalka) returning to William Penn Academy as a music teacher following her failed attempt at being a rock star. While Lainey has a hard time adjusting to being an authority figure, Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) has a hard time adjusting to the new Michael Jordan-style of basketball (there’s a distracting amount of R. Kelly music in this storyline). Tim Meadows and Brett Dier also star.

The Masked Singer (9 p.m., Fox) - The second episode of this new singing competition series introduces us to the other half of our contestants: Rabbit, Alien, Raven, Pineapple, Poodle and Bee. Same as last week, some of these singers are great and some really are not — but it’s so much fun!

Match Game (10 p.m., ABC) - Season 4 of this Alec Baldwin-hosted game show starts with panelists Kenan Thompson, Ellie Kemper, Sherri Shepherd, Horatio Sanz, Jillian Bell and Tyler Hoechlin.

The Dictator’s Playbook (10 p.m., PBS / UNC-TV) - This new series looks at six dictators shaped the 20th century. It starts with Kim Il Sung of North Korea.
