theflash524smallTonight, the second season of The Flash comes to a close on The CW. Last week’s episode picked up right as Zoom had amassed an army of Earth-2 meta-humans and had brought them to Earth-1 to take over Central City. While the group quickly got to work on a plan to stop the meta-humans, Wally took to the streets to join the fight vigilante-style. Joe was worried and asked Barry to help bring Wally home. However, Barry was thrown off his game when he discovered the leader of the attack was the Black Siren – Laurel Lance’s (aka the Black Canary’s) Earth-2 doppelganger. Eventually the group at STAR labs came up with a plan to blast a sound at a particular frequency that would render anyone from Earth-2 unconscious. The plan, which also involved Caitlin and Cisco going undercover as Killer Frost and Reverb, seemed to be a success, and they were able to round up all the Earth-2 meta-humans. However, Zoom managed to open a rift and escape, and Dr. Wells was nearly killed when he gave his protective headphones to his daughter after hers started to fail. At the end of the episode, Zoom returned to get his revenge – he grabbed Henry and brought him to the same room where Barry’s mother died and stuck his reverberating hand through Henry’s chest as Barry watched in horror.

What a cliffhanger… I’m so glad we still get one more episode tonight! Will Barry be able to avenge his father’s death and finally kill Zoom? Will we finally find out who the man in the iron mask is in Zoom’s lair? How is Wally going to react to discovering that Barry is the Flash? And will Cisco figure out how he unleashed that Reverb-style blast, and will he be able to recreate it and harness this power?

On tonight’s finale, “The Race of His Life,” season 2 ends with Zoom revealing his true plan and Barry vowing to do whatever it takes to stop him.

Find out how the season ends tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Price Is Right Primetime Special – Big Brother Edition, Fresh Off the Boat, The Real O’Neals, Containment, Chrisley Knows Best, and First Impressions with Dana Carvey.

whoseline2016smallWe’ve had a bunch of finales the last couple of weeks, so it’ll be my great pleasure to watch a premiere instead, and there isn’t a better one right now than Whose Line Is It Anyway? on The CW. And there have been a LOT of remakes of shows, both with new characters and story lines and ones that just continue from where they left off. I was oh-so-thankful when they brought this one back, especially since they kept three of the funniest and most talented men on television: Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, and Ryan Stiles. If you haven’t seen the show, the basic premise is this: the performers are given a setting, style, or other instructions and have to come up with the funniest improve performances they can dream up – and what they dream up is AMAZING. It never fails to blow my mind just how creative and brilliant these performers are.

On tonight’s first episode, the guest comic is Gary Anthony Williams, while Alfonso Ribeiro also guests. Then on the second episode, the always fantastic Keegan-Michael Key guests.

Check out the always funny performances tonight on The CW at 9/8c & 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Kids BBQ Championship, Person of Interest, & Blindspot.

legendsoftomorrow519smallTonight, the first season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow comes to a close. Last week, Rip, Martin Stein, and Ray Palmer were locked up in the prison at the Vanishing Point. Just as the Time Masters were about to have Chronos execute them, Leonard Snart and Sara Lance showed up to save the day. And it turned out that Mick had been able to resist his re-programming. The group then set out to destroy the source of the Time Masters’ time manipulation abilities, the Oculus. When they arrived at the wellspring, they found it well-guarded. And ultimately Snart volunteered to sacrifice himself in order destroy the Oculus. This left Savage without the power of the Time Masters to manipulate time for him, and so it seemed like it was just a matter of time (so-to-speak) until he would no longer be in power. However, Savage revealed that he had his own time machine and that he didn’t need the Time Masters anyway.

Will this team ever find a way to stop Vandal Savage? Where/when will they head next, and what is their next plan of attack? I’m looking forward to seeing how the season ends and what the show’s creators set up for next season. I’m kind of hoping they find a way to resolve this Vandal Savage story line or expand the universe so that we can explore some new villains next season.

On tonight’s finale, “Legendary,” season 1 ends with Rip returning the team to Central City a few months after they first left. They return to their normal lives and must decide individually whether to sacrifice everything in order to save the world. Meanwhile, Sara visits with her father, who delivers some heartbreaking news about her sister.

Find out what decisions everyone makes tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Grey’s Anatomy, The Blacklist, Bones, The 100, Archer, 60 Days In, & Orphan Black.

royalpains518smallI’m so happy because tonight is the season premiere of Royal Pains. On the season finale last July, all our favorite characters had big story lines. Hank came face to face with his ex-fiance, Nikki. Throughout the course of the episode, we got to see Hank’s memory of their breakup and then watched as he realized he had been remembering it wrong all this time. Maybe he can really move forward now that he isn’t completely blaming Nikki. Poor Divya lost her grandmother, but she also made the decision that she was going to go to school to become a doctor AND she and Raj met up again, and once he said that his marriage was over, he and Divya both admitted they still loved each other, he proposed, and she accepted! And finally… Evan and Paige were all set to adopt a young girl’s baby, but once she went into labor and Paige reunited her with her mother, they realized that Elan was ready to become a mother, so they bowed out of the adoption.

So where do they all go from there? Will Hank find love? Will Divya still be able to work with Hank Med AND go to school to become a doctor, and will she and Raj make a go of it? And what about Paige and Evan? Will they find a baby to adopt or will they get a miracle and be able to have their own? Whatever is coming for them all, I can’t wait to watch and find out!

On tonight’s episode, “Stranger Danger,” Hank treats a politician while Jeremiah enlists Divya’s help. Hank and Evan react very differently when Eddie returns to the Hamptons, and Divya’s future plans hit a roadblock. Henry Winkler guest stars.

Catch the premiere tonight on USA Network at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Rosewood, The Goldbergs, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, black-ish, & Chicago PD.

ncis517smallTonight is Tony’s last hurrah on NCIS. I do hope he’ll be in it more than he’s been the previous three episodes! Last week, the manhunt for Jacob Scott continued, but there were a lot of twists and turns. First, an old “friend,” CIA agent Trent Kort (who worked undercover with La Grenouille, blew Tony’s cover to Jeanne, and lost his eye to the Port-to-Port killer), showed up at the latest victim’s house. He and new-guy-next-season Clayton Reeves, thought the other was the killer. Scott was shown on video searching for…Ziva David, which of course freaked out Tony and the rest of the team, especially when Tony tried calling her and her cell phone had been disconnected and she didn’t respond to his emails. Then…Scott showed up at NCIS, saying he’d been framed and hadn’t killed anyone. He said he was looking for Ziva because his dead wife had left a note at the safe house saying that Ziva’s father had files proving Scott had been set up. After Abby analyzed blood found on the latest victim’s clothing, it proved that the REAL killer was…Trent Kort! THEN, the episode ended with the team thinking they needed to follow Kort to Israel to warn Ziva, only to see on the news that there was an explosion…at the David farmhouse. Eek!

So will Ziva make a surprise appearance? It happened on ER. George Clooney, who swore he wasn’t returning for Julianna Margulies’s final episode, as did the show itself, turned up as a total shocker to fans. Both the show and Cote de Pablo herself have sworn that she won’t be back, but…will she? Personally, I want Tony with Jeanne, but I know a TON of fans want him to ride off into the sunset with Ziva. Whatever happens, I just hope it’s worthy of his 13 years on the show. (Just FYI… The episode description for tonight is VERY vague and…well, wrong, but it’s literally the only description I could find on my DVR and four different websites!)

On tonight’s season finale, “Family First,” NCIS, FBI and MI6 continue an international manhunt for an escaped British spy who is targeting current and former agents. Robert Wagner, Sarah Clarke, & Duane Henry guest star.

See Tony’s final episode tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped Junior, The Real O’Neals, Chicago Med, NCIS: NOLA, Chicago Fire, Chopped, & Person of Interest.
