It’s taking some time for me to fully like all the characters on the new Whiskey Cavalier. I go back and forth on most of them, depending on the episode. Like last week, I got almost as irritated with Standish as Jai did. He was being pretty disrespectful, having all his trash and crap lying around in other people’s space. I’m no neat freak, but dang. Then again, Standish did well getting the guard to take in the champagne to the bad guy (or rather, the bad guy’s body double. LOL). So it was a tossup. I also got really irritated with Frankie for her crappy attitude toward Will, and going off and kissing the groomsman and then her line about it being the American way for all couples to cheat really ticked me off. I did love the fight in the locker room with the woman from Will’s past! LOL But overall, I’m still enjoying the show, and I think they’re just going to grow and gel as a cast, which will make it even better.

On tonight’s episode, “The English Job,” while investigating suspicious robberies in London, Will hits it off with a sexy British spy, leaving Frankie with some unexpected feelings that she doesn’t know how to process. Meanwhile, Jai competes with Susan over who is more intelligent, and Standish deals with a case of shell shock. Ophelia Lovibond (Elementary) guest stars.

See how Frankie handles her feelings tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

Last week, 9-1-1 returned to FOX, and it didn’t waste any time getting into the craziness, as the team was called to assist a women whose doctors passed out in the middle of her facelift procedure. Afterwards, they assisted with a shark that was stuck in the middle of a highway, chomping away on one of its handler’s arms. Meanwhile, Maddie and Athena teamed up to look into a suspicious 9-1-1 call from a boy who claimed nothing was wrong – it turns out that he and his new brother had both been abducted by their so-called father. This reminded Athena of a little girl who went missing in her own neighborhood when she was young, and it was these events that had inspired her to become a cop.

When not at work, Athena was dealing with a visit from her parents. Her mom Beatrice wasted no time in letting her daughter know how disappointed she was in her. She was particularly upset that she decided to marry Bobby, a white man, and that he was already acting like a parent to her grandchildren. Meanwhile, before the winter break, we saw that Doug, Maddie’s crazy ex, had made his way to town and had secretly befriended Chimney in order to get some intel on his ex. This week, he followed Chimney on his way to a date with Maddie, stabbed him multiple times in the courtyard, and left him bleeding out, and then made his way into the apartment to a shocked and frightened Maddie.

Chimney has already had rebar go through his forehead, and now he’s been stabbed several times in the chest. Will he get lucky and survive yet another devastating injury, or is this it? I’m a little nervous that tonight’s episode appears to be a Chimney origin story. Are we going to get one final look at how he became the fireman and paramedic he is, just to then say goodbye, or will he miraculously pull through? And what about Maddie? Can she escape from Doug and either have him arrested, or better yet, more permanently disposed of?

On tonight’s episode, “Chimney Begins,” look back at how Chimney joined Station 118 and became the firefighter and paramedic he is today.

To see how why Chim joined the fire department, tune in to FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Fix, The Resident, and Arrow.

For the People returned for its second season, and the writers haven’t missed a beat. These characters make every case interesting, and the heart of this show keeps me coming back for more. Last week’s episode shone a light on the immigration disaster that is going on in the States right now, when a man was taken by ICE after he came in to be a witness in a case. The man had a son they tried to take, but Tina refused to let them, which caused a standoff at the courthouse, with both sides of the courtroom trying to save this family. I applaud Shonda Rhimes for being brave enough to take on such huge issues during this politically messed-up environment we are in right now.

On tonight’s episode, “Minimum Continuing Legal Education,” Seth becomes committed to taking an immune international diplomat to trial so he can get out of general crime and onto a more senior unit. Sandra works on a kidnapping case and is convinced the kidnapping was an accident. Meanwhile, Jay is certain that taking a different route to work will determine how successful he will be in the courtroom.

To find out if Seth can make a name for himself, tune in to ABC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Station 19, Grey’s Anatomy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Beat Bobby Flay.

My pick tonight is actually two shows, both family competition shows premiering on BYUtv. First is the comedic game show Battle of the Ages, which pits two multi-generational family teams (grandparent, parent, child/teen) against each other in mental and physical challenges. It looks a little bit like Double Dare but with a few twists and just looks like a lot of fun.

Following that is the premiere of Dinner Takes All, a family cooking competition show hosted by celebrity chef Kelsey Nixon. Like several other shows, one of which is currently airing on Food Network, two teams of family members go head-to-head. In this one, it’s families of five who have to cook their “best Sunday dinner.” Each team uses family recipes to create an entrée, three side dishes, and a dessert while simultaneously playing interactive food-centric games for bonus points. Winning families receive a $10,000 cash prize. So it isn’t just a cooking show. There are fun games as well.

On tonight’s episode of Battle of the Ages, “Sanchez vs. Perkey,” grandparents get hints from pilot Lucky Lindenburger in a race to name the state he’s flying over.

Then on Dinner Takes All, “LoRusso Family vs. Castleberry Family,” the LoRusso and Castleberry families cook meals while playing games to win $10,000.

Catch all the fun tonight on BYUtv starting at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Goldbergs, Schooled, Gone, Guy’s Grocery Games, Modern Family, Single Parents, Whiskey Cavalier, & SEAL Team.

Station 19 returned last week, and it was intense to say the least. Andy and the captain were stranded in the ambulance with the victim who was barely hanging on – but to make matters worse, the captain was badly injured and couldn’t feel his legs. Andy managed to climb the giant incline to light a flare and save the captain, but unfortunately the young lady who was in the ambulance originally due to injuries sustained during a car accident didn’t fare so well and she died. Andy was later awarded a Medal of Valor for her work that day, but she was upset because she felt unworthy of it. She accepted it but didn’t have any grand words to share with the audience because of her guilt that the girl died. The only one who saw the true reason behind it was Ryan, and he went after her to comfort her. Later they found comfort together yet again at the after party when Andy couldn’t help but have sex with him, but this is a dangerous story line for them because they keep hurting each other and then going back at it. I see a potential issue in their future in the form of the captain, because after the experience during the wind storm, Andy and Sullivan have a new connection. I don’t know who I want with Andy, but whoever it is I know it is going to be incredibly hot.

On tonight’s episode, “I Fought the Law,” when Andy, Maya, and Dean respond to a call, they find an injured woman with amnesia, but soon into the treatment process, they realize there is much more to her story. Meanwhile, Captain Sullivan takes Ben and Jack on a house call that quickly becomes a close call for the patient they’re treating, while Ryan may not have seen the last of his father.

To see how Ryan deals with his father, tune in to ABC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching For the People, Grey’s Anatomy, and Top Chef.
