My pick tonight is the complete first season premiere of Easy-Bake Battle on Netflix. You all know I’m a sucker for cooking competition shows, and some of the most entertaining ones involve home cooks, not professional chefs. And the fact that this one is named after the Easy-Bake Oven of my youth (I mean, I’m assuming! LOL) is a bonus.

On this new series, talented home cooks put their skills and creativity to the test making fast and easy dishes that are wildly delicious — and worthy of a big cash prize. Antoni Porowski (from the 2018 reboot of Queer Eye) is host, and I think he should be pretty fun to watch, so I’m eager to check it out!

Stream the whole first season now on Netflix.

I’ll also be watching Chicago Med, Survivor, The Conners, The Goldbergs, Chicago Fire, Guy’s Ultimate Game Night, Chicago PD, & The Amazing Race.

9-1-1 has been a show that, from the start, was a perfect mix of humor, drama, and character growth. All the characters are great, but I am hoping Eddie has a good storyline this season. Something good needs to happen to him after all he’s been through. I would also like to see Buck have a successful relationship, but now I’m just dreaming.

On tonight’s episode, “Animal Instincts,” the 118 race to the rescue when a birdwatcher is trapped under a tree. Chimney is in for a wild ride when he tends to a drunk driver; Maddie helps a mother and her young daughter when an abusive father shows up at their house; Eddie catches Christopher in a lie; Buck begins a year of “yes to possibilities” and immediately receives an interesting proposal from a former roommate.

To see where this wild episode takes us, tune in to FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching The Neighborhood, Bob Hearts Abishola, NCIS: Hawaii, Quantum Leap, NCIS, The Cleaning Lady, and The Good Doctor.

I’m really enjoying the new season of NCIS: Hawai’i. Granted, it’s only been one episode aside from the premiere, but last week’s ep was pretty good. The team had to learn more about illegal street racing when a Marine staff sergeant’s body was found in a car being crushed in a junkyard. The killer turned out to be what felt like (to me, at least) the least likely suspect. On a personal note, Tennant knew her son was hiding something, and it turned out he was—a new girlfriend. It was the first time he hadn’t come to her with that kind of news, and she realized she would just have to be patient. Also, Whistler was ready to introduce Lucy to her coworkers, but when her boss assumed that Whistler’s partner was a male, she worried how they’d take the news that he was a she. Turned out she didn’t need to worry. Lucy and their relationship were welcomed with open arms at the company picnic.

On tonight’s episode, “Stolen Valor,” Tennant and the NCIS team suspect foul play when they investigate a fatal car crash involving a Navy officer who turns out to be an imposter. Also, Whistler finds herself in danger when she goes undercover to learn the truth behind the accident.

To see if Whistler comes out unscathed, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Dancing with the Stars, Bob Hearts Abishola, Halloween Baking Championship, NCIS, Halloween Cookie Challenge, & Quantum Leap.

There is SO MUCH ON tonight, but since I want to really try to limit how many I’ll pick, my top pick tonight is the series premiere of So Help Me Todd. Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin star as razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright and Todd, her talented but aimless son whom she hires as her law firm’s in-house investigator. As the black sheep of the Wright family, Todd is a laidback, quick-thinking, former private detective who fell on hard times after his flexible interpretation of the law got his license revoked. Margaret’s penchant for excellence and strict adherence to the law is at complete odds with Todd’s scrappy methods of finding his way through sticky situations. When Todd inadvertently teams with his mother on a case, she’s surprised to find herself duly impressed by – and proud of – his crafty ability to sleuth out information with his charm and his wide-ranging tech savvy. At last, Margaret sees a way to put her son on a “suitable” path to living an adult, financially solvent life she approves of, and she asks him to join her firm. Todd agrees, since it means getting his license back and once again doing the job he excels at and loves. Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile, dysfunctional relationship, and they may even come away with a better understanding of each other. But whether Todd and Margaret will be able to accept each other for who they are is another case entirely. It also stars Inga Schlingmann, Madeline Wise, Rosa Arredondo, & Tristen J. Winger.

Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin are both fantastic and fun to watch, and the previews definitely make it seem like this is going to be both funny and heartwarming, so I’ve been so looking forward to seeing it since it was first announced. I’m excited to check it out tonight.

On tonight’s pilot episode, m eticulous attorney Margaret Wright hires her scruffy son as her law firm’s in-house investigator.

Catch the series premiere tonight on CBS at 9:01/8:01c.

I’ll also be watching Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Hell’s Kitchen, Law & Order, Ghosts (YES!), Law & Order: SVU, CSI: Vegas (YES!), & Law & Order: OC.

Last week’s Chicago PD premiere was tense for most of the episode. The premiere picked up only a couple weeks after last season’s finale, where Hailey was forced to shoot Anna, killing her. Hailey and Jay were super concerned about Voight, who had been basically a one-man unit to get drugs and the dealers off the streets in that neighborhood, and it came to a head when Voight spoke to them alone, reiterating that he was fine and that if they didn’t knock it off and stop letting it affect the job, the three of them wouldn’t be able to work together anymore. Since Jesse Lee Sofer (Jay Halstead) is leaving this season, you have to wonder if it ties in to everything going on… On a sad but good note, the new chief got Anna’s payment pushed through, and her son will be receiving nearly half a million dollars for her undercover work. Small consolation for losing his mother, but still…

On tonight’s episode, “The Real You,” when a convicted murderer hijacks a prison van, the team scrambles to find him and the abducted prison guard before it’s too late. Burgess questions Ruzek’s motives in a case, creating tension between the two.

See if Intelligence can find the murderer and abducted guard on time and if Burgess and Ruzek can get past their issues tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Chicago Med, The Conners, Survivor, The Goldbergs, Chicago Fire, Guy’s Ultimate Game Night, The Amazing Race, & No-Recipe Road Trip with The Try Guys.
