izombie69smallTonight, the first season of iZombie comes to a close. Last week, Liv entered her apartment to discover that Sebastian, the guy she infected, was inside and trying to attack Peyton. She went into full zombie mode and killed Sebastian. Afterwards, she explained the truth of her condition to Peyton, who fled the apartment as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Major continued to pursue his zombie theory — he purchased some black-market weapons and brushed up on zombie-killing techniques via YouTube. He pretended to be a health inspector in order to get a closer look at Meat Cute, but Blaine soon discovered who he really was and tied him up in the back. Soon afterwards, Major heard Liv’s teenage brother in the front of the shop being offered a job by Blaine.

What are Blaine’s plans for Liv’s brother and Major? Will he turn them, kill them, or will they manage to escape? And will either of them learn the truth about Liv’s condition? It was great to finally see Peyton and Liv bonding so well this week — I really hope Peyton isn’t gone for good, although I don’t really blame her for not wanting to live with a zombie! I’m looking forward to seeing what tonight’s fun and exciting finale has in store!

On tonight’s episode, “Blaine’s World,” season 1 ends with Liv and Clive discovering new evidence in the Max Rager case. They then pay a visit to Vaughn Du Clark at Max Rager headquarters. Meanwhile, Ravi continues his search for a cure; Blaine makes Liv an offer she can’t refuse; and Major gets involved in an unbelievable situation.

See what offer Blaine makes and what Major gets involved in tonight on The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording I Can Do That, Stitchers, Younger, Your Family or Mine, Chrisley Knows Best, and Royal Pains.

majorcrimes68smallTonight’s the season premiere of Major Crimes, and I’m so excited, given how last season ended. Phillip Stroh was back and in the process of signing a plea agreement, in which he would give up the names and locations of other victims, but I knew from the beginning of that story arc that something was hinky. The judge who was presiding over it was an old acquaintance of Stroh’s, so he wasn’t leery enough of the bad guy…and Stroh took advantage of that. Over the course of several visits, he kept dropping his pen (using the excuse of his handcuffed hands for the fumbling), requiring the judge to come around his desk and kneel down next to Stroh. But in the season finale, using the same “drop the pen” act, he killed the judge and escaped before anyone was the wiser. They got a manhunt going as soon as they figured it out, but they were unable to find him. That means Rusty is vulnerable once more. Speaking of Rusty… He’s turned into a great kid, and I really love his character.

Other notes about last season: Sharon and Finn seem to be dating without realizing it. Sharon finally divorced her ex, and then she formally adopted Rusty. Sanchez was nearly fired after his mother’s caretaker — who Sanchez realized was stealing from her and leaving her alone — was killed…after Sanchez beat the crap out of the guy. Instead, he was suspended and ordered to get help for his anger issues, and one of the things he decided was he would move home and be able to help with his mother more. And finally, although the SOB spinoff isn’t happening, Fritz Howard will be back during the new season.

On tonight’s episode, “A Rose is a Rose,” the squad investigates a double homicide related to an ongoing string of home invasions in the Hollywood Hills. Meanwhile, Sanchez attempts to reintegrate himself in the division after his suspension over a questionable use of force, while Captain Raydor makes a fateful choice in the life of her adopted son, Rusty.

Catch the drama and fun tonight on TNT at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing American Ninja Warrior, So You Think You Can Dance, Guilty Pleasures, & Murder in the First.

Jenny’s Choice #1

bones64smallI’ve been enjoying the marriage troubles for Booth and Brennan on Bones the last few weeks — not that I love when they have problems, but it’s been nice seeing Brennan in touch with her emotions, and honestly, Booth deserved the tongue lashing she gave him… Not for the gambling but for the lying. He has a lot to make up to her; since she doesn’t trust easily in the first place, he’s going to have to work hard to earn her trust back. I have faith that he will. Stephen Nathan & crew have been through too much with the couple to break them up for good.

Then we turn to the other couples in the show… I love Hodgins and Angela and getting a ton of money for his invention. I don’t like the fact that they’re looking at moving to Paris. I don’t *think* they’re leaving the show — at least, not long-term — but…I guess it makes sense, as Angela’s wanted a change for a while. I actually dreamed a few days ago about them being “gone” for a couple of weeks, which was really a couple of months in their life, but then they both realized they missed the team, the work, and feeling good about finding the bad guys and they came back to the Jeffersonian. We’ll see. Also, how cute was Aubrey trying to feel out (as in flirt and see if she was interested. LOL) Jessica. She didn’t seem too interested, though, unfortunately for him!

On tonight’s episode, “The Life in the Light,” when the remains of an ex-con and biker gang member-turned-yoga instructor is found in the aftermath of a forest fire, the team must navigate both worlds from the victim’s past to find the killer. Meanwhile, Booth continues working hard to beat his gambling addiction and regain Brennan’s trust, and Angela and Hodgins make a big decision that will impact their future at the Jeffersonian.

Find out the big decision (like we don’t know?) Hodgins & Angela make tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

hotincleveland63smallThrough six seasons, I’ve enjoyed the stories and antics of Melanie, Joy, Victoria, and Elka on Hot in Cleveland. They started out as three women from L.A. who ended up living in Cleveland when their plane had to land there, and they discovered that they loved the attention (from men LOL ) they were getting. Because things weren’t going their way in L.A., they decided to stay, ending up renting a house that came with its own caretaker/roommate: Elka. There’s been love, heartbreak, and the friendship between all four of them has grown over the six seasons, and I’m very sad to see the show coming to an end tonight.

Going into the final episode, Joy and Bob are engaged. Will the wedding actually happen? Will Melanie and Victoria finally find love again? Will everyone stay in Cleveland, or will Melanie, Joy, and Victoria end up back in California? I’m sad to see it go, but I can’t wait to see what happens tonight!

On tonight’s extended finale, “Vegas, Baby/I Hate Goodbyes,” Joy and Bob’s wedding plans are derailed when they learn there is a baby available for adoption in Las Vegas; Victoria connects with a long-lost love.

Catch the 90-minute series finale and see how it all ends tonight on TV Land at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing MasterChef, Melissa & Joey, Brother vs Brother, Bullseye, Mystery Diners, & Craziest Restaurants in America.

stitchers62smallI’m not a fan of a lot of shows on ABC Family, but their latest, Stitchers, is definitely on the “must-watch” side. The show follows Kirsten (newcomer Emma Ishta), a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be “stitched” into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave. Working alongside Kirsten is Cameron (Kyle Harris, Carrie Diaries), a brilliant neuroscientist whose passion for the program is evident in his work. The secret program is headed by Maggie (Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Eureka), a skilled veteran of covert operations, and includes Linus (Ritesh Rajan, upcoming Jungle Book), a socially immature bioelectrical engineer and communications technician. Kirsten’s roommate, Camille (Allison Scagliotti, Warehouse 13), a gifted computer science grad student, is also recruited to use her skills to assist Kirsten in her new role as a “stitcher.”

I’ve seen the first two episodes, and it’s really fantastic. Kirsten reminds me of Brennan on Bones, in that her sense of humor is…well…pretty much nonexistent. That in and of itself is funny. But it also makes the surrounding cast important, and thankfully, that’s not a problem. I adore Cameron (like, huge new TV crush), Linus is extremely funny, Camille is fun and interesting (and I absolutely love Allison Scagliotti), and Salli Richardson-Whitfield is great as Kirsten’s new boss.

On tonight’s episode, “A Stitch in Time,” a young woman with a talent for technology joins a covert agency to solve crimes and mysteries by entering the minds of recently deceased individuals.

Don’t miss the premiere tonight on ABC Family at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing America’s Got Talent, Chrisley Knows Best, Hell’s Kitchen, Junk Food Flip, The Little Couple, Chopped, Royal Pains, Your Family or Mine, & I Can Do That.
