theamericans427smallThe Americans is such an amazing show that more people need to be watching. Last week, things got really intense. Philip suspected that Martha’s cover had been blown and that the feds had discovered that she was the rat in their organization. So he immediately took her to a safe house, where Gabriel was waiting to watch over her. “Clark” revealed the truth about him being KGB to Martha and tried to comfort her, but she was devastated. And Gabriel and Elizabeth were shocked and upset at the news that Philip had previously revealed his true physical appearance to Martha. Meanwhile, Martha’s sudden disappearance from work and her clearing out of her home only intensified Stan and Agent Aderholt’s suspicions of her, which they brought to Agent Gaad, who felt betrayed by his longtime employee. The next day, Martha was so fed up that she stormed out of the safe house. Gabriel went after her, quietly pleading with her to return, but she threatened to scream that he was KGB if he came any closer.

Will Gabriel allow “Clark” to try to bring Martha on as a KGB asset, or is she too much of a loose cannon who needs to be eliminated? What will the feds’ next move be? Will Oleg, distraught over the execution of Nina, find his way to Stan as his new double-agent? And what’s going on with these bio-weapons?

On tonight’s episode, “Travel Agents,” stakes are raised as the KGB and the FBI race to track down an agent.

Learn who finds the agent first tonight on FX at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, The Middle, The Goldbergs, black-ish, Empire, and Arrow.

limitless426smallTonight, the first season of Limitless comes to an end on CBS. It had been a month since the FBI had arrested Sands, but some of his friends (who Brian dubbed “The Legion of Whom”) still had Piper locked away somewhere. Brian no longer had access to the immunity shot, so the FBI was no longer giving him NZT pills, which meant he was now living back home with his parents and working at an electronics store. Rebecca discovered the word “Apocryphon” on some old notes and requested Brian’s help on figuring out who or what it was. Meanwhile, NZT had started to flood the streets of New York, so Brian found a black-market source and used the pill to help Rebecca and the DEA track down the source of the drugs, or so they thought. DEA Agent Brewster had the FBI round up a bunch of powerful people and former agents who had supposedly been involved with Sands. However, it turned out that this was all a setup by Brewster, who broke Sands out of jail and set an explosion to kill those he had just set up – who turned out to be Morra’s people and not Sands’.

What is Sands planning, and can Rebecca and her team stop him? Can they find a way to prevent NZT from becoming a national epidemic? Will Brian find Piper and/or a cure for the NZT side effects before it’s too late? It should be a fun and exciting finale, and I sure hope CBS announces a second season pickup soon!

On tonight’s episode, “Finale: Part Two!!,” season 1 concludes with Brian dealing with a stunning betrayal as he and the FBI race to stop an NZT-enabled Sands and his associates from orchestrating an international incident of evil. Meanwhile, Brian also experiences devastating side effects when his NZT immunity begins to wear off.

To see if they can stop Sands, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Fresh Off the Boat, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, Grandfathered, The Flash, and Containment.

scorpion425smallTonight is the season finale of Scorpion, and it promises to be a good one. Thank goodness that the show has been renewed for next season already. I can smile even though I’ll miss it after tonight! Last week seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was exciting and tense and ultimately a bit disappointing. First, though, the good parts. I always love how inventive the team is. Using the old carnival merry-go-round to pull the plane out? Genius. Blowing up the building to stop the lava-type stuff from reaching the blow-upy stuff? (yes, those are the technical terms. LOL) Also genius. And I loved how crazy Walter’s plan was to get himself and Paige off the roof. And finally, Toby’s testifying against their old friend/fellow genius, Mark Collins. He was so funny. He does sarcastic so well. The bad? Once again, Walter chickened out about Paige, and frankly, that’s getting old. I know it’s only the end of season 2, so why I’m so impatient about them, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because they don’t seem to be making any progress. Every time we *think* Walter is taking a baby step forward, he ends up going backwards. So it’s really frustrating. Oh, and ultimately sweet but because of what happened at the end, Toby getting Happy’s engagement ring – which was perfect and adorable! – was great, but eek! Damn Collins for kidnapping him!

On tonight’s episode, “Toby or Not Toby,” Team Scorpion must outthink their unstable ex-Scorpion member, Mark Collins (guest star Joshua Leonard), after he kidnaps Toby and threatens to kill him unless his cunning demands are met.

Learn what demands Collins makes for Toby’s return tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Cupcake Wars, Mike & Molly, Lucifer, NCIS: LA, & Blindspot.

timetravelingbongsmallTonight, in honor of it being 4/20, Comedy Central is kicking off the 3-night miniseries Time Traveling Bong, in which cousins Sharee and Jeff (Ilana Glazer and Paul W. Downs, Broad City) discover a time-traveling bong that sends them on an adventure of many lifetimes. Soon after the journey begins, the structural integrity of the time-travel device is compromised (aka, the bong breaks and they try to glue it back together), and now the cousins have no control over where or when they go or how to get back home. Their bizarre journey takes them through many exciting periods of history, such as the Salem witch trials of the 1600s, the segregated South of the 1960s, ancient Greece, and even a dystopian future.

The miniseries was inspired by a sketch Glazer and Downs did back in 2012. While I wasn’t a fan of Broad City, based on the trailer this looks like it could be pretty funny and entertaining. Either that or really, really horrible. Either way, I’m looking forward to checking out tonight’s premiere of this Bill & Ted-like adventure.

On tonight’s premiere, “Chapter 1: The Beginning,” two cousins discover a water pipe that allows them to travel through time after smoking pot, but when the bong is damaged they are helplessly hurtled from one epoch to another.

Take a trip…hah…tonight on Comedy Central at 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, Criminal Minds, Empire, The Americans, and The Last Panthers.

containment419smallTonight, The CW kicks off the new 13-episode limited series, Containment. After a deadly epidemic breaks out in an urban part of Atlanta, the residents in the area are quarantined in order to try to contain the outbreak while the CDC looks for a cure. The series follows the lives of those both inside the quarantine zone, who are struggling to stay alive, as well as those outside, who have been separated by their loved ones. Police officer Lex Carnahan (David Gyasi, Interstellar) learns that his girlfriend Jana (Christina Marie Moses, Starship: Apocalypse) and best friend Officer Jake Riley (Chris Wood, The Vampire Diaries) are trapped inside, along with 17-year-old Teresa (Hanna Mangan Lawrence, Spartacus: War of the Damned) who is 8-months pregnant and separated from her boyfriend Xander (Demetrius Bridges); elementary school teacher Katie Frank (Kristen Gutoskie, Beaver Falls) and her entire class, including her own son; and CDC researcher Dr. Victor Cannerts (George Young, Casualty), who played a major role in the quarantine effort. The series also stars Claudia Black (The Originals, Farscape) as Dr. Sabine Lommers and Trevor St. John (One Life to Live) as Leo Greene.

Containment is a remake of a 2014 Belgian series named Cordon, and comes from executive producers Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) and Matt Corman (Covert Affairs). Tonight’s premiere was directed by David Nutter, who also directed the pilots of many other Warner Brothers shows, including Arrow, The Flash, Supernatural, Smallville, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and more. I’m looking forward to checking out tonight’s premiere. I always enjoy a good virus outbreak story, and this one looks like it could be really good. Though, it’ll probably make me paranoid and have me constantly washing my hands all day at work tomorrow and giving coughing and sneezing coworkers nervous looks!

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” a mysterious fatal virus breaks out and leads to part of Atlanta being quarantined in the series premiere of this drama.

To see how the virus gets out, tune in to The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Limitless, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Grinder, The Flash, and The Night Manager.
