mikemolly316smallOn Mike & Molly, Molly is now a published author! Her dirrrrrty book came to reality finally last week, but she realized then that her job wasn’t over. Sometimes writing the book is the easy part. Promoting the book is the hard part, as we saw when she spoke to radio station after radio station, even when sick and having to try to translate into Spanish. But in the process, she and Peggy, Mike’s mom, grew a little closer and entered into some weird new partnership, where Molly’s going to write the story of how Peggy went from a carefree, sexually open wild child to the sourpuss she is today. We’re sure to get some great stuff from that story line!

On tonight’s episode, “What Ever Happened to Baby Peggy,” Peggy makes Molly do chores in exchange for sharing tantalizing stories from her past for Molly’s second book.

Hear these “tantalizing stories” tonight on CBS at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Food Fortunes & Castle.

theroyalssmallIt’s probably been at least a decade since the last time I watched anything on E!, but tonight they kick off their first scripted series, The Royals, and I’m looking forward to checking it out. The series follows the lives of a fictional royal family in modern-day London. Queen Helena (Elizabeth Hurley, Gossip Girl) loves her title and all the power that comes with hit, but her husband Simon (Vincent Regan, A.D.), who’s coping with the loss of his eldest son, is contemplating abolishing the monarchy before it ruins his family—including wild 21-year-old daughter Eleanor (Alexandra Park, Home and Away) and her slightly-older twin brother Liam (Wiliam Moseley, The Chronicles of Narnia). Liam, who is now heir to the throne, is a bit of a playboy but falls for commoner Ophelia (Merritt Patterson, Ravenswood), the American daughter of the King’s head of security. Meanwhile, Cyrus (Jake Maskall, EastEnders) feels like he should be the one sitting on the throne.

The series is filmed on location in London, and the sets and scenery look breathtaking! The show seems like it’s going to be a fun, soapy drama filled with stories of love, hate, lust, revenge, scandals, and power struggles, all set in a world of opulence and majesty. I’m looking forward to seeing all the craziness and drama that goes on with this royal family behind the palace gates!

On tonight’s premiere, “Stand and Unfold Yourself,” Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor struggle with their new roles following the abrupt death of their older brother, while Queen Helena works to maintain the family’s image, and King Simon questions the monarchy’s future.

To see behind the public face of this new royal family, tune in to E! at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, Once Upon a Time, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, The Walking Dead, Looking, Shameless, and Episodes.

kotn2015smallTonight, the third season of King of the Nerds comes to an end and a new King (or Queen) will sit atop the Throne of Games. Last week, the six remaining nerds were put into alien cocoons and had to answer general nerd trivia questions and got shot in the face with “acid” when they got a question wrong. The game was a double-elimination, and the last nerd standing got immunity from the Nerd-Off. However, in a twist that wasn’t revealed until after-the-fact, one of the two contestants who eliminated from the trivia first would go home immediately. As a result, Amanda was sent home and Ben got the immunity—and the choice of one of the Nerd-Off contestants.

In the throne room, Ben announced that he would be sending Raychelle, and the others voted to send Lily. The two girls played a giant game of Pocket Nerds (aka Stratego), and it looked like Raychelle was going to win, until she accidentally moved the wrong piece. This left the door open for Lily to make a Hail Mary run for her opponent’s flag, causing Raychelle to be sent home.

So the final four are Ben, Jonathan, Kaitlin, and Lily. Out of that group, the only person I don’t want to win is Lily, and I would prefer that Jonathan or Kaitlin win over Ben. I think Jonathan has done a good job at plotting and planning his way to the end, and Kaitlin—who came off as obnoxious and arrogant in the premiere—has really grown on me. Overall, it’s been another really fun season, and it’s sad to see it come to an end, but I’m looking forward to seeing what lies in store for tonight’s final challenges.

On tonight’s episode, “The Nerdtastic Finale,” the winning nerd is crowned in the Season 3 finale, which comes complete with a witty monster and a gauntlet of geeky tests and schemes.

See who comes out on top tonight on TBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Amazing Race, Cristela, Glee, 12 Monkeys, and Helix.

americancrimesmallI really enjoyed ABC’s new series American Crime when I first saw the pilot last summer and have been anxiously waiting for it to air. Rewatching the series premiere last week, I was quickly reminded why. In the opener, divorced couple Russell and Barbara learn that their son has been killed and his wife raped during a robbery at their home. Barbara quickly put herself in the spotlight, contacting a reporter to tell her story. Meanwhile, the police followed a lead that a Hispanic male was seen leaving the scene—and arrested Tony Gutierrez, who couldn’t have been more cooperative and seemingly innocent. Meanwhile, Russ learned that his perfect son was actually a drug dealer, and that was likely what lead to his death.

This series is very thought-provoking and shows how people’s biases and stereotypes can be completely wrong and that drug addicts and dealers come in all shapes and sizes. When young, blonde, white Aubry is battered and beaten, the police immediately ask her if it was her black boyfriend, Carter, who did this to her. Barb has also proven herself to be quite racist and predjudiced, so I’m really looking forward to seeing how she reacts when the truth about her son comes out and what she does when she confronts her son’s killers. I’m also interested to see if Tony will be a victim of circumstances and profiling—he certainly doesn’t seem like he would last a day in prison—or if will he be cleared and set free.

This show has a great cast giving some stellar performances, and I’m looking forward to seeing how all the drama unfolds.

On tonight’s episode, “Episode Two,” Barb and Russ face Carter and Aubry, who are reunited for the first time since being arrested more than a day ago. Meanwhile, a terrified Tony lands in juvenile detention, testing the resolve of his father, Alonzo; investigators find an existing warrant for Hector’s arrest in Mexico; and emerging facts about Matt and Gwen strain the relationship between their parents.

Learn what facts come out about Matt and Gwen tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, The Odd Couple, Grey’s Anatomy, The Blacklist, The Slap, Archer, Dig, and Wizard Wars.

csicyber311smallI loved last week’s premiere of CSI: Cyber, although I told my husband I think it’s more like Criminal Minds than CSI. But whatever the name, I enjoyed it. James Van Der Beek’s Agent Mundo is probably my favorite character so far (because of his interaction with the young kid next door to the kidnapped baby and how he didn’t even hesitate to jump into the pond to rescue the baby from the car, when all the cops just stood around with their thumbs up their butts, it seemed), but I do love Agent Avery Ryan, played by Patricia Arquette. She’s fantastic, and obviously there’s some back story that will be interesting to dive into. One other thing I found interesting was the fact that Agent Ryan brought in the former black-hat hacker after he was caught by Agent Krumitz and arrested/found guilty. I love the idea of rehabilitation that way if possible.

On tonight’s episode (which is probably my favorite of the four episodes I’ve seen so far), “CMND:\Crash,” Agent Avery Ryan and her cyber team investigate a roller coaster crash caused by someone who found a way to hack into the ride’s internal computer. Jason George, Joe Reegan, & Christopher Douglas Reed guest star.

See if Agent Ryan & her team can solve the case tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, Criminal Minds, Mystery Diners, black-ish, Best New Restaurant, & Donnie Loves Jenny.
