theleague129smallAfter 7 hilarious seasons, the FX/FXX comedy The League finally comes to an end tonight. Last week, the guys were getting sick of giving automatic wins to Ruxin and suspected he might be milking the situation of his wife’s passing. So Taco finally confronted him, and Ruxin agreed to stop taking the free passes. Meanwhile, Raffi – in his unique and twisted way – tried to help Ruxin with the grieving process by offering to take his sister’s place in the bedroom.

Later, Raffi managed to get the league banned from the website after posting a video of himself and Dirty Randy having sex with some birds (and not the British use of the word) to the chat board. This meant Kevin was forced to run the league by hand – which led to a lot of issues, especially since he let baby Chalupa Batman help with the math. Due to the league stats mess, everyone will now be in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Andre tried to get an exclusive restaurant to let him use a dinner reservation Ruxin had set up for Sofia and himself. The episode ended with one final bombshell, that Pete’s ex-wife Meegan is pregnant.

After seven seasons, how will this show come to an end? It’s anyone’s game this time around – so who will be the final Shiva winner and who will take home the Sacko? Is Andre the father of Meegan’s baby? And if so, how will Pete and the others react?

On tonight’s finale, “The Great Night of Shiva,” the fates of the Shiva, Sacko, and Snip are decided. Also: Ruxin makes a big decision that impacts his chances of winning and the league’s survival.

To see how the series ends, tune in to FXX at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, Criminal Minds, The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, black-ish, Arrow, Supernatural, American Horror Story: Hotel, You’re the Worst, and Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter.

screamqueens128smallTonight is the big Scream Queens finale, and we’ll finally discover the identity of the Red Devil killer! Last week, it was Black Friday – Chanel’s second favorite holiday – and so at midnight, Chanel and her disciples headed to the mall, where they taunted the other shoppers with their exclusive access to the doorbusters. Meanwhile, Grace, Pete and Wes tried to report Gigi’s murder to the police, but everyone had been fired due to incompetence, and Denise was now in charge! Chanel and the others didn’t leave the mall in time and ended up getting locked in. As they came face to face with the Red Devil, Chanel’s minions took off, leaving her to get shot in the shoulder by a crossbow. Just as the killer was about to make the mortal blow, Denise burst in to save the day…sort of. While she was busy over-explaining everything in great detail, the Red Devil killed her deputy and got away.

Chanel was convinced that Dean Munsch is the killer. and she told the sisters the only way for them to survive was to kill the dean first. So the girls headed to the dean’s house with some macaroons and poisoned cider, but the pufferfish they put in the drink had no effect on the dean. The girls then moved on to other ill-fated plans to freeze and drown the dean, but neither went as planned either.

So who is the mysterious killer – is it even a she like we’ve been led to believe?! Who will live, and who else will fall victim to the Red Devil before the night is over? Will the Red Devil live to kill another day, or will she be caught and pay for her crimes? I can’t wait to see how it all plays out on tonight’s 2-hour finale!

On tonight’s episodes, “Dorkus; The Final Girl(s),” startling confessions lead to the unmasking of the Red Devil and the identity of the killer.

Find out if the killer is revealed tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Muppets, Fresh Off the Boat, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Flash, iZombie, Chrisley Knows Best, and Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter.

ncisla127smallTonight should be an exciting episode of NCIS: LA. The last episode dealt with terrorist recruitment for Isis. I always love seeing Kensi go undercover, and this was no exception. One of the funniest parts was Callen ragging on Kensi for her messy desk, and it was no shocker that Deeks put him up to it. Other than that, it was an okay episode, but of course the highlight was finally getting to the meat of the IA investigation into Deeks. At the end, he was arrested for killing someone named Francis Boyle. Kensi’s reaction was…weird. There’s really no other way to put it. Hopefully she was just in shock, even though Deeks didn’t seem to be.

I can’t see them making Deeks a killer, not unless it was justified. I kind of want this to go more than one episode because just making it one ep feels like a short payoff for something that’s been hinted at for quite a while now. Then again, I DON’T want it to drag out. Ideally, Deeks would be cleared on tonight’s episode and then they would work to find out who the killer really is or something in another episode later on. So who was Francis Boyle? Deeks’s old partner? I was assuming so (and then the description confirmed it), so…we’ll see how it plays out tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “Internal Affairs,” while Deeks is under arrest and interrogated for the murder of his former partner, the team races to try and prove his innocence. Patrick St. Esprit & Pamela Reed guest star as Lieutenant Bates & Roberta Deeks.

See if the team can prove Deeks’s innocence tonight on CBS at 9:59/8:59c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Great Christmas Light Fight, Supergirl, Cake Wars, Major Crimes, Scorpion, & The Great Holiday Baking Show.

brooklyn99126smallOn the last new episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry had to go visit a prisoner in Rikers, but when Sharon, his very pregnant wife, had plans to meet him at the precinct so they could go on a last-minute-before-the-baby-comes weekend vacation, he left Jake in charge of keeping her safe and comfortable while she waited for him. Unfortunately Sharon admitted that Captain Holt made her uncomfortable – (because he was always awkward around her… Hilariously so!) – so Jake had his work cut out for him. Also unfortunately, Sharon went into labor, and Jake and Holt had to track down Holt’s ex to deliver her baby because Sharon didn’t want to go to the hospital after a bad experience during her first delivery. In the end, there were complications and he suggested she go anyway, and she did. It’s a good thing, as the baby girl was FOURTEEN pounds. Eek! And because he’d been so good with Sharon and he was friends with Terry, Jake got to be the first to meet the new baby.

On tonight’s episode, “The Swedes,” in an attempt to solve an international case, Jake and Rosa are forced to work with a pair of Swedish cops and things get very competitive, very quickly. Meanwhile, Amy and Terry offer to help Gina prepare for a big test and Holt enlists Charles to sub in as his squash partner for an annual tournament.

To see if Jake and Rosa can get along with the Swedes, tune in to FOX at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Librarians, Agent X, Holiday Baking Championship, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

grimm124smallI’m kind of loving Grimm this season. I was so tired of Juliette and the whole story line with her being turned into a Wessen. Nick is harder this season, but I’m kind of digging that – and I love his relationship now with Adalind. We’ll see if she changes personalities again, but as of now, it’s great. On the last new episode, a rich mobster Wessen challenged three other Wesen to compete for his daughter’s heart/hand in marriage. The challenge was they had to kill the man the mobster felt was responsible for his son’s death. The problem was, the men kept getting killed before they could actually kill the guy. It turned out to be the daughter doing the killing, much to her father’s shock. My favorite part was the potential dead man going absolutely crazy when he saw the mobster change from human-looking to his Wessen self. Wu’s reaction throughout the episode dealing with that guy was hysterical, given that he’d been in that position before.

On tonight’s episode, “Rat King,” Nick and Hank are called to the scene when three Wesen go out on a hunt at a local dump and get more than they bargained for when two turn up dead after they encounter the mythical Rat King. Meanwhile, a very badly wounded Trubel (guest star Jacqueline Toboni) is taken to the hospital, and Nick finally meets Meisner (guest star Damien Puckler).

Find out if Trubel survives tonight on NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, MasterChef: Junior, Undateable, Unforgettable, Truth Be Told, & American Diner Revival.
