If We Controlled Your Remote… 12/6/15

brooklyn99126smallOn the last new episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry had to go visit a prisoner in Rikers, but when Sharon, his very pregnant wife, had plans to meet him at the precinct so they could go on a last-minute-before-the-baby-comes weekend vacation, he left Jake in charge of keeping her safe and comfortable while she waited for him. Unfortunately Sharon admitted that Captain Holt made her uncomfortable – (because he was always awkward around her… Hilariously so!) – so Jake had his work cut out for him. Also unfortunately, Sharon went into labor, and Jake and Holt had to track down Holt’s ex to deliver her baby because Sharon didn’t want to go to the hospital after a bad experience during her first delivery. In the end, there were complications and he suggested she go anyway, and she did. It’s a good thing, as the baby girl was FOURTEEN pounds. Eek! And because he’d been so good with Sharon and he was friends with Terry, Jake got to be the first to meet the new baby.

On tonight’s episode, “The Swedes,” in an attempt to solve an international case, Jake and Rosa are forced to work with a pair of Swedish cops and things get very competitive, very quickly. Meanwhile, Amy and Terry offer to help Gina prepare for a big test and Holt enlists Charles to sub in as his squash partner for an annual tournament.

To see if Jake and Rosa can get along with the Swedes, tune in to FOX at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Librarians, Agent X, Holiday Baking Championship, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

shadowhunterssmallIn January, ABC Family will be changing its name to Freeform, and with that change will come some exciting new programming, including the new show Shadowhunters, which is based off Cassandra Clare’s bestselling young adult fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments. Tonight, ABC Family is airing a special, Beyond the Shadows: The Making of Shadowhunters, which will give viewers behind-the-scenes look at the cast and characters of the upcoming series.

In the series, Clary Fray (Katherine McNamara, Happyland) discovers on her 18th birthday that she comes from a long line of Shadowhunters – human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. When her mother is kidnapped, Clary is quickly thrown into this supernatural world of faeries, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves. Joining her on her new quest/journey of self-discovery are fellow Shadowhunter Jace (Dominic Sherwood, Vampire Academy) and her best friend Simon (Alberto Rosende). The series also stars Harry Shum Jr. (Glee), Matthew Daddario, Emeraude Toubia, Isaiah Mustafa (Nikita), and Alan Van Sprang (Reign).

I have never read the books, and I didn’t see the feature film that was made a few years back, but the ads for this show look great, and I look forward to checking it out!

Check out the special preview tonight on ABC Family at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Quantico, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, The Librarians, Into the Badlands, Getting On, and Homeland.
