If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/11/10

Posted on February 11, 2011 by , and

It’s Friday, which means the end of another week. Not nearly as busy a night, though there are still enough on to have a good selection to choose from! So let’s get to it and see what everyone thinks you should be watching!

One of the most under-appreciated new shows this Fall has been The Defenders on CBS. It’s got a great premise, a great cast, and pulls off the stories perfectly. I absolutely love it, and look forward to each week it’s on.

On tonight’s episode, Nick and Pete decide to take on the case of a young man that was pulled over carrying thirty bricks of cocaine that could put him behind bars for life, unless they can prove that their client was conned by a girl he met on spring break. Dan Aykroyd guest stars on tonight’s episode.

Don’t miss this great show tonight on CBS at 8/7c!

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/10/11

Posted on February 10, 2011 by , and

Thursday is another night packed full of great television, with all new episodes of so many of our favorites. Let’s see what all of us think you should be watching tonight.

I have always loved Bones from the very beginning, and this season has been great so far. Whether or not I like Hannah, I have to admit to loving the tension and drama her addition to the cast has brought. The question is how long will she stick around…. maybe tonight’s episode will answer that.

On tonight’s episode, a BMX rider’s remains on a warehouse roof appear to be the result of stunt gone terribly awry, until Brennan and Booth uncover critical evidence that suggests the victim’s death may not have been an accident.

Tune into FOX at 8/7c tonight to see if any of the rumours surrounding a “proposal” are true. 😉

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/9/11

Posted on February 9, 2011 by , and

Wednesday means that the week is in full swing, but at the same time it also means that we’re in the home stretch! This week has been nonstop new episodes of your favorite shows, and premieres of some that may even be your new favorite, and today is no different. Wednesday night TV is sure to cure your midweek blues with tons of great choices to take your cares away!

Lisa’s Choice

The long awaited midseason show premieres are here, and they are bringing on the funny starting with ABC’s new show Mr. Sunshine. Matthew Perry (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Friends) and Allison Janney (The West Wing) headline this charming show about a guy named Ben Donovan (Perry), who is the general manager of the Sunshine Center. Every night, Ben is forced to navigate demands, mishaps, and many employee screw ups in order to put on a show for 18,000 screaming people. Janney plays Crystal, Ben’s boss and the arena owner, who is very erratic and seemingly off her rocker. Andrea Anders (Better Off Ted, The Class) stars as Alice, the cutie tomboy marketing director at the arena, who just so happens to be Ben’s friend with benefits. Also along for the ride is Alonzo (James Lesure, Las Vegas), who is a former basketball player who is ruggedly handsome and unbelievably happy. Heather is Ben’s sweet and attractive assistant who fits right in with these merry misfits as she’s got a very colorful background. Rounding things out is Crystal’s son, Roman, who is the arena’s newest, and highly dimwitted, employee.

The pilot episode airs tonight, where we find Ben spending his 40th birthday trying to get rid of a hockey rink that won’t melt, looking for an elephant that becomes lost in the building, and trying to fix a PR nightmare. Meanwhile, Alice decides to end her “casual” relationship with Ben.

Try this new show on for size tonight at 9:30/8:30c on ABC. Learn where to find episodes online of Mr. Sunshine @ Clicker.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/8/11

Posted on February 8, 2011 by , and

It’s hard to believe that’s it’s a week into February already, and TV is well on it’s way to being fabulous for February sweeps. Tonight’s full of all new episodes of a lot of our favorite shows, so let’s see what we think you should be watching tonight.

Megan’s Choice

It’s a special week for me, because Glee is going to be on twice. 😀 Not only did we get treated to an insane Super Bowl episode on Sunday, and let me just say I loved the Thriller performance, but tonight we get a special Valentine’s Day episode. I was lucky enough to see a preview screening of the episode, and it is REALLY good. (Of course I’m slightly biased.) Honestly, on tonight’s episode there is a lot of character development, and some surprising relationship developments, that make you go “huh, why didn’t I think of that?” 🙂

For Valentine’s Day, Finn sets up a kissing booth, but things don’t go as planned. Cupid shoots some unexpected arrows and some old feelings are hard to get over.

Tune into FOX at 8/7c to see how love unfolds or fails. Learn where to find episodes online of Glee @ Clicker.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/7/11

Well, from a really SLOW night, to a really BUSY one! It’s crazy how many new episodes there are tonight! We’ve attempted to narrow down what we think you should watch, though. Talk about a hard decision!

Jenny’s Choice

The last episode of Castle (2 weeks ago) was so brilliant, and I was so sad last week when there wasn’t a new one on. But guess what? It’s back! Talk about make my day! Heck, this really makes my week. 😀 I haven’t seen the new episode yet, but I’ve seen a handful of clips, and it promises to be fantastic. There is one scene between Beckett and Martha that just about makes you squee. 🙂

On tonight’s episode, Castle and Beckett find a plethora of suspects after a recent lottery winner winds up dead, and everyone in the precinct fantasizes about what they would do with the winnings; Martha inherits money she feels that she doesn’t deserve.

Don’t miss what is sure to be another great episode of my current favorite show on ABC at 10/9c. Learn where to find episodes online of Castle @ Clicker.
