bobsburgers1018smallTonight’s annual Halloween-themed episode of Bob’s Burgers airs at a special later time, and this one may be my favorite one of these episodes yet! The Belchers are such an entertaining TV family – while what they say is often ridiculous, they still feel like very real characters, and this is very much due to the amazing chemistry between the voice actors. And the writing is so witty and hilarious that I always have a smile throughout each episode. While I love all of the characters, Gene is definitely my favorite, and he is on fire in tonight’s episode. Well, not literally – though I wouldn’t put it past these writers – but he does have so many great one-liners! And to top it all off, at the end of tonight’s episode Boyz 4 Now makes a return appearance for a delightfully cheesy music video.

Bob’s Burgers is always a highlight of my Sunday night TV viewing, but after tonight, the show will be off the air for a few weeks, when it returns with a Thanksgiving episode (already?!). While the series is currently only in its fifth season, it has already been picked up through its eighth season! So I look forward to plenty more fun Belcher family adventures to come…and to seeing how they top tonight’s hilarious Halloween episode next year!

On tonight’s episode, “Hauntening,” as the Belchers ready for Halloween, Louise reveals that she’s never been scared by anything, so the family pays a visit to a spooky haunted house, where things start going bump in the night.

See if the haunted house scares Louise tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, Once Upon a Time, Quantico, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Last Man on Earth, The Walking Dead, Talking Dead, The Leftovers, Project Greenlight, Homeland, and Robot Chicken.

truthbetold1016smallMy pick tonight is the series premiere of Truth Be Told (fka People are Talking), NBC’s latest comedy about two diverse couples who are both neighbors and best friends. As they go through life side-by-side, they can’t help but analyze and obsess about everything. From topics like sex and race, to the fact that the trusted new babysitter might just be a porn star, nothing is out of bounds for this wildly outspoken foursome. The cast includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tone Bell, Vanessa Lachey, and Bresha Webb.

I’ve seen the pilot (although, it might have been an old version of it…) and really enjoyed it. Of course, Mark-Paul Gosselaar is one of my favorites – he has been since Saved By the Bell – but I love Tone Bell in this as well. I have to say the “babysitter might just be a porn star” was my favorite story line of the pilot, but I liked it all.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Angie’s ex-boyfriend hooks her up with four tickets to the Jay-Z concert. Her husband, Russell, is wary, but her best friends Mitch and Tracy are thrilled with the opportunity to have a fun night out. But first, Tracy and Mitch have to scramble to find a babysitter for their daughter. Mitch fears Kimberly (guest star Antonimar Murphy), the leading candidate, is too attractive. Meanwhile, Russell voices an even bigger concern about the babysitter.

See if this new comedy makes you laugh tonight on NBC at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, Undateable, Dr. Ken, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, & BBQ Blitz.

theplayer1015smallThe Player has quickly become a must-watch show for my fiancé and me. He loves the action, and I’m drawn in by the story lines, so it’s a win-win. The plight that Alex is on to find out who killed his wife is a dangerous one, but what’s even more dangerous is the number of crimes he’s been working to stop in the meantime. Working with Mr. Johnson and Cassandra is a very intimidating job for most, but Alex seems to have taken to it well, although I wouldn’t trust Mr. Johnson very much if I were Alex. Mr. Johnson offered to help Alex find out what happened to his wife, but I don’t believe he’s in it to help but to cover up everything Alex finds – for example, last episode when he broke into Alex’s and knocked out Alex’s hacker buddy, who he’d left to look into an SD card that Ginny hid in a picture.

Meanwhile last episode, Alex was also brought in to try to stop a sniper from killing anymore people, with a total count at 3 so far. The investigation led them to a group of men who had taken some money while on vacation in Mexico. Turns out the dead men they took the money from were cartel, and now the cartel was seeking revenge. Alex managed to save Bob and his son Jake, as well as kill the sniper, but Mr. Johnson had to step in and offer the cartel money to keep them away from Alex. The FBI is also running an off-the-books investigation because Alex’s behavior matches a few others who have mysteriously disappeared after their change in activity. They’ve asked Alex’s detective friend to look into it. I hope Mr. Johnson doesn’t catch wind of this, because I would hate to see someone else close to Alex murdered.

On tonight’s episode, “The Big Blind,” Det. Brown uncovers the truth about a hit man and in turn arrests Alex’s client. Alex continues to look for clues regarding Ginny’s murder with the help of Mr. Johnson, but Cassandra is one step ahead of them with her own agenda.

Want to see more of this addictive new drama? Tune in to NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Bones, Grey’s Anatomy, Sleepy Hollow, Chopped, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder.

thegoldbergs1014smallThis season of The Goldbergs is off to a great start. It always amazes me how many of the crazy events we see on the show happened in real life to series creator Adam Goldberg – and that he’s willing to show us the awkward video proof at the end of the episode! Last week, Adam wanted a robot, but his father refused to buy one. So he and Murray tried building one from junk they found around the house, but this led to a big fight between them, and in the end Murray gave in and bought Adam the robot. Meanwhile, Barry accidentally taped over the video of his 5th birthday but made his mother believe she was one who did it. Beverly was crushed and devastated and was constantly blaming herself for the mistake. The guilt (and pressure from his siblings) ultimately got to be too much for Barry and he confessed the truth.

The Goldbergs are just a really fun family to hang out with every week, and watching their exploits each Wednesday night always gives me a great sense of nostalgia for my own childhood. I love the 80s throwback setting and pop culture references, the ridiculous situations, and the heartfelt family moments. I’m so glad this show (and the rest of my ABC Wednesday comedy lineup) are back!

On tonight’s episode, “I Caddyshacked the Pool,” Adam, who’s embarrassed by his changing body, is desperate to get out of swimming in gym class; and Erica tries to create her identity at school by starting a club that, to her dismay, Barry joins.

Find out if Adam can get out of swimming tonight on ABC at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, Criminal Minds, Code Black, The Middle, Modern Family, black-ish, Empire, Arrow, Supernatural, Young & Hungry, American Horror Story: Hotel, The League, You’re the Worst, Worst Cooks in America, and Moonbeam City.

chicagofire1013smallTonight is the season premiere of Chicago Fire, and after the cliffhanger of last season, we’re going to hit the ground running. Last season, Casey was undercover after Voight (from Chicago PD) and his team came to ask for his help in getting an inside track to the club owner that Casey had been working for, since they suspected him of being involved in human trafficking. But when we left off, a pregnant Dawson went to Casey’s house to tell him, only to find Nadia there, dead, and Casey missing. Obviously Dawson being pregnant will affect her ability to be a firefighter. The only solution I can see is that she becomes a paramedic again. I don’t know how long she’d be able to work at that in real life. On the show? Who knows. I’ve seen tonight’s premiere, so I know how and when they rescue Casey (cause you KNOW they’re going to), and I can tell you there’s a lot of surprises in store for him and the rest of the firehouse.

On tonight’s episode, “Let It Burn,” during an undercover operation, Lt. Casey lands in very dangerous territory; Dawson’s suspicions are confirmed; a new candidate (Steven R. McQueen, The Vampire Diaries) makes an unusual first impression; a protest hinders firefighters who are trying to battle a blaze.

Meet the new candidate tonight and see Casey’s rescue tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Grandfathered, MasterChef Canada, NCIS, Married at First Sight: The First Year, NCIS: NOLA, Chopped, & Limitless.
