bones1022smallLast week’s Bones had some great moments. Booth and Brennan both returned to work, and Booth realized Aubrey had taken over his office. He was temporarily relegated to a desk out in the bullpen, and he wasn’t very happy about it, especially when he was having to clean out trash. In the end, Aubrey surprised him by giving him the office back…but only because he was moving upstairs to an even better office. LOL As for Brennan, she settled right back into things without a problem. The case of the week was kind of a mixed bag of emotions. A man was killed, and then his organs were harvested. It revealed a whole black-market organ-donation-recipient organization. So while they had to take the people down, it meant that a lot of people who would have gotten a needed organ would die before they legally received one. So definitely sad in a way.

I’m greatly looking forward to tonight because the great Betty White guest stars as a fellow forensic anthropologist. I can’t wait!

On tonight’s episode, “The Carpals in the Coy-Wolves,” Brennan enlists the help of a fellow forensic anthropologist in the investigation into the death of a real-estate agent whose remains appear to have been destroyed by coyote-wolf hybrids. FOX NFL game analyst, five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Ronde Barber also guest-stars.

See if Brennan feels the need to compete with her colleague tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped, Man vs Child: Chef Showdown, Beat Bobby Flay, Late Nite Chef Fight, & The Player.

modernfamily1021smallI am a huge fan of ABC’s Wednesday comedy block, and one of my favorites is still Modern Family. Last week, Cameron was having a bit of a midlife crisis, trying to be “bros” with the frat guys renting the apartment upstairs. Mitch was getting annoyed with his “bromosexual” husband and hatched a plan with Luke to end it. Meanwhile, Phil was obsessed with his duck eggs, building them an insanely detailed habitat while waiting for them to hatch; Claire was failing miserably at coming up with new closet ideas; and Manny was having troubling asking out a barista, until he saw his always-confident mother get tongue-tied in front of her favorite telenovela star, which gave him the push he needed,

This series continues to feel fresh and fun in its seventh season. The writers do a great job of mixing things up each week so that you get entertaining stories involving different pairings of the members of this extended family. The writing is always witty, and the stories always seem to converge in some unexpected but endearing way in the end.

On tonight’s episode, “The Verdict,” Gloria’s picked for jury duty and can’t wait to practice her U.S. citizenship, but Jay isn’t too happy to be helping out at Joe’s preschool by himself. Meanwhile, Claire’s plans for “Bring Your Daughter to Work Day” hit a snag; Phil participates in community service with Luke and Manny’s class; and Mitchell and Cameron can’t agree on a guest list for their party.

Don’t miss Gloria on jury duty tonight on ABC at 9/8c.

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

chicagofire1020smallIn the beginning, I wasn’t a huge fan of Chicago Fire, but when Chicago PD came around, I started watching the former because of the crossovers. Now I’m hooked. Last week’s season premiere was full of action and emotions. First Casey was rescued by Antonio, and then he found out Nesbitt would walk on charges because he is an informant. Casey didn’t handle it well at all. Dawson was very worried about him and kept trying to have a conversation with him, but he was so distant and difficult to talk with that she gave up. However, after Dawson had a close call with injury during a fire, Casey went to the bar to tell Dawson that nothing else mattered as long as he had her. Now Dawson finally got to tell Casey the news she’d been keeping. She’s pregnant! Casey and Dawson had such a sweet moment, and I am so happy they are finally back together fully. On a not-so-good note, Severide got demoted because of the high turnover rate on his crew. Patterson got made the lead, and Severide wasn’t pleased. In fact, Severide left us last week with the idea that he isn’t coming back to the house and will go elsewhere rather than work under Patterson. I certainly hope not, because I think the show would suffer from him not being at the same house. I’m looking forward to this week’s episode and seeing how Casey treats Dawson on the job now.

On tonight’s episode, “A Taste of Panama City,” members of the firehouse are frustrated with their inability to help Chief Boden, whose job is on the line pending an internal investigation in the aftermath of a complicated call to a fire. Meanwhile, Lt. Severide struggles to accept his smaller role and adjusts to the presence of Capt. Patterson, his new commanding officer. Dawson shakes things up on the work front, and Casey attempts to find a crucial piece of evidence in his ongoing investigation against Nesbitt. Elsewhere, Herrmann struggles to keep the peace with Molly’s newest neighbors.

To see how the team rallies to help the Chief, tune in to NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Voice, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, NCIS, NCIS: NOLA, Limitless, and Chopped.

ncisla1019smallTwo of my favorites are going to collide tonight on NCIS: LA. Deeks and Tony. Tony and Deeks. Ahhhh! What’s a woman to do but watch and drool?! On last week’s episode, we got the sweetest scene with Deeks and Kensi. They finished a case where Kensi had been undercover, cozying up to the bad guy, so they were all tired. Kensi and Deeks went to her (His? Their? I don’t know…) house, and while she changed out of the super fancy, expensive dress into an Iron Maiden T-shirt and jeans, he cooked the perfect breakfast for the two of them. But Deeks acted uncharacteristically nervous and unsure of himself when he basically apologized for not being able to give Kensi anything money could buy. She responded perfectly by saying she had what she’d always dreamed of – a relationship like they had with a man like him. It was so heartwarmingly good. Of course, then they were interrupted by a case. LOL It turned out a man was threatening to blow people up and cut Sam and Callen off from the rest of their team to make them jump through his hoops. He was out for revenge since they’d killed his brother years before. In the end, the team was able to not only take him and his team down but also stop the bomb from going off before it could reach the intended target.

On tonight’s episode, “Blame It On Rio,” NCIS Special Agent DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly)
partners with the LA team to search the city after his prisoner escapes custody on a flight from Singapore to Los Angeles.

To see how Tony gets along with the team, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces, Halloween Baking Championship, Scorpion, & Blindspot.

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.
