I cannot believe we are already half way through October! 2022 has been flying by, and while I’m excited that we are moving along without too many issues, I’d like time to go a little slower, seeing as my daughter will be leaving for university in less than a year. We have so much to do to decide where she’s going, if she’s staying in Canada or going stateside, and so many other small things. Thankfully for tonight I can just sit back and watch a few of my favorite shows to try to take my mind off the upcoming decisions.

Tonight I’m recommending you watching The Neighborhood, because we all need a few more laughs in our lives. This comedy always manages to make me laugh while also giving me heartwarming feels about the family dynamics that are portrayed. Dave and Calvin’s friendship is a constant source of laughs, while Dave and Gemma’s marriage is one to aspire to. I am excited to see how the show continues as Malcolm and Marty grow into their own relationships and the families branch out. It will be hilarious and sweet to see Calvin and Tina as grandparents in the future because we all know that Tina is going to go overboard as she always does — and as she currently is simply planning the wedding!

On tonight’s episode, “Welcome to the Art of Negotiation,” when Dave is up for a promotion at work, Calvin tries to help him negotiate a raise from his penny-pinching new boss, Gregory. Also, Tina struggles with whether to share some sensitive information with Gemma.

To find out what sensitive information Tina needs to tell Gemma, tune in to CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching Bob Hearts Abishola, 9-1-1, NCIS, The Voice, The Cleaning Lady, The Good Doctor, and Quantum Leap.

The season premiere of Blue Bloods last week had me on the edge of my seat! Watching Jamie get shot was terrible, but what was worse was watching Eddie beg him not to leave her — telling him to fight to stay with her. It is a rare sight to see Eddie so vulnerable, so seeing that was an interesting moment to watch. The new captain in their house doesn’t want Eddie and Jamie working at the same house, but Eddie is insistent that they are going to continue being in the same house. I’m not sure that Jamie is going to go with it, seeing as he wants to move on to different things in his career. One highlight of the episode was watching Danny, Jamie, and their nephew all work together on a case. It was nice to see them bonding.

On tonight’s episode, “First Blush,” Frank causes family tension when he announces he will not endorse Erin’s run for district attorney. Also, Danny and Baez investigate a bloody crime scene at a hotel, and Jamie begins a new job as a field intelligence sergeant that requires him to keep secrets from his family.

To see how his family handles Jamie’s new position, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching S.W.A.T. and Fire Country.

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.

I’m pretty excited about tonight’s series premiere of Professionals. The series follows Vincent Corbo (Tom Welling, Smallville), a top-tier security operative who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary — legal or not. After a next-gen medical-data satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer, billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Brendan Fraser, Trust, The Mummy), who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new gig is his former paramour and now Swann’s fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila (Elena Anaya, Wonder Woman), who is racing to help stave off a global catastrophe. As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate – all working to destroy Swann and take control of his tech empire. Worse, Corbo must also contend with Swann’s spoiled, troublemaking teen daughter (Jazzara Jaslyn, Lioness) and a rogue Europol agent (Ken Duken, Inglourious Basterds, Counterpart) who is hellbent on busting him for past sins.

The series first aired overseas, and The CW has had a mix of successes and failures when bringing in shows this way. I have high hopes for this one, and I’m crossing my fingers it’s good, because the premise sounds like a lot of fun. It feels like it would make a good movie, but hopefully that doesn’t mean it’ll make a bad TV show.

On tonight’s episode, “Snipe Hunt,” Multi-billionaire and philanthropist Peter Swann wants to set new standards in modern medicine. The satellite-supported “Panacea” project is intended to identify at an early stage in which regions of the world viral diseases break out and to guarantee the rapid supply of vaccines to people. At the Dublin headquarters of the Swann corporate empire, Peter and his fiancée, the physician Dr. Grace Davila, follow the transmission of the rocket launch but the highly sophisticated satellite cannot make it into orbit. Peter thinks it was sabotaged, but he has no proof. Grace convinces him to bring in security expert Vincent Corbo to investigate. The Private Military Contractor (PMC) and Grace had a relationship seven years ago, after Vincent saved the doctor’s life during an operation in the Syrian-Iraqi border area. Vincent, Peter and Grace travel to French Guyana. They quickly find the first clues of a conspiracy, not only against the “Panacea” project, but against Peter’s entire company.

Don’t miss the hopefully exciting premiere tonight on The CW at 9/8c.

(A special shout-out to The CW’s premiere of The Winchesters too!)

I’ll also be watching FBI, Bobby’s Triple Threat, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, Outchef’d, & The Rookie: Feds.

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.
