Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight! (Thanks for hanging in while we took a break. Spending a week in the hospital is a week too long!

ncisnola55smallLast week’s NCIS: NOLA was a shocker. Lasalle’s brother called him late one night, and when Lasalle and his girlfriend, Savannah, showed up to meet Cade, they discovered the body of Cade’s girlfriend in his trunk. He swore he didn’t do it, that he’d been set up, and eventually the team figured out that he’d indeed been set up and they caught they people responsible. That was sad in and of itself because it seems like Cade’s doing really well — he’s on his meds, going to a therapist, etc. I hope this doesn’t cause him to slip backwards. But the shocker was Baitfish was back…and at the very end of the episode, we saw him confront Savannah…and then there was a gunshot after a fade to black. Based on tonight’s episode description, I can only assume that he shot her and she’s dead. That really sucks because they were cute together and I don’t want Lasalle hurt. Then again, I love the chemistry he and the undercover DEA agent (I think?) have, so I guess this opens up that door.

On tonight’s episode, “How Much Pain Can You Take,” to send a message to Pride, Baitfish murders someone close to the NCIS team, prompting a citywide manhunt for the elusive criminal.

Find out who dies and if Pride and the team can catch Baitfish tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 19 Kids & Counting, Hell’s Kitchen, NCIS, iZombie, Undateable, Chicago Fire, Chopped, & Your Family or Mine.

gotham54smallTonight, the first season of Gotham comes to a close. Last week, Gordon and Bullock continued their search for the psychopath known as the Ogre, who had kidnapped and chained up Barbara. During his search for Barbara, Gordon was forced to make a deal with the Penguin and agreed to owe him a favor. When Bullock and Gordon finally did track down the Ogre, Gordon took the kill shot. Meanwhile, Penguin set up an attack on Maroni, making it look like it came from Falcone, fanning the flames for a huge mob war; Kristen walked in on Ed Nygma while he was disposing of Doughtery’s chopped-up body — fortunately the head was not around or she would have realized it was her missing boyfriend; and Bruce learned the truth about Wayne Enterprises — that it was full of deceit and corruption…and that his father knew about it.

So how will this season come to an end? Who will fall victim to the full-scale mob war that’s about to break out? And who will rise to rule over what’s left afterwards? Is Gordon going to get back with Barbara? He still seemed to have some feelings for her last week — so much so that he made a deal with the Penguin. And speaking of that, will the Penguin call in his chip? Will Bruce figure out what his father was hiding, and will it help him clean up the company? I’m looking forward to an exciting finale that will likely leave us anxious for the second season!

On tonight’s episode, “All Happy Families Are Alike,” the Gotham City gang war reaches its boiling point with Fish Mooney battling Maroni and Penguin. In other events, Barbara and Leslie Thompkins are brought together; and Bruce searches Wayne Manor for any clues as to what his father might have left behind.

Catch the exciting season finale tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Castle, Gotham, The Following, Jane the Virgin, Bates Motel, The Returned, and Turn.

brooklyn9953smallLast week’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a lot of fun. Jake injured himself by falling as he ran across the top of cars (How in the world he injured himself as much as he did, I have no idea… LOL), and Terry tried to force him to take some time off since the doctor didn’t actually clear him, but Jake was determined to catch the bad guy, even to the detriment of his health. In the end, they did catch him and Jake was able to recover. Meanwhile, Holt and Rosa were forced to spend an evening with their significant others — although Rosa cut it short when she admitted to Holt that she was late and thought she might be pregnant. Talk about sharing personal information! Unfortunately, that shortened dinner meant Amy and Gina missed it completely after showing up late (as Amy tried to prove how “chill” she was).

I love this show. The chemistry between the characters is as great now as it’s been since the beginning, and I love them all. I’m hoping we’ll get some movement on the relationship between Jake & Amy as the season comes to a close in the next few weeks, but I guess we’ll see…

On tonight’s episode, “Det. Dave Majors,” Jake is excited to work a case with the best detective in the NYPD, Detective Majors (guest star Garret Dillahunt, Raising Hope), until Majors shares his intentions to ask Amy out on a date. Meanwhile, Charles and Gina try to convince Terry to stay at the Nine-Nine when he considers accepting an offer to work at a private security firm.

See how Jake reacts to Det. Majors’ interest in Amy tonight on FOX at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, Spring Baking Championship, Battle Creek, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

theamericans422smallTonight, another season of The Americans comes to a close. Last week was another amazing episode. Philip was about to visit Martha when he got word that it wasn’t safe — and it turned out that Stan was there, on his own rogue mission to learn the truth about the bugged pen in the office. After Beeman left, Martha called her parents in tears and arranged to visit them. When “Clark” showed up at the house, Martha was packing, saying that she was tired of the lies and had to leave. Philip then pulled off his wig, revealing his true self as Martha looked on in horror. Meanwhile, Paige was once again acting out and questioning everything about her parents, so Elizabeth asked Paige if she wanted to join her to visit her dying mother in Russia.

That was a close call with Beeman in Martha’s apartment — he could have seen the wedding photo, or Philip could have walked in. Is this the end for Martha? Why would Philip reveal himself unless he is going to kill her? And did she already have a sense this was coming? Her phone call to her parents felt very much like a goodbye. And what about Paige — will she take her mother up on the offer to meet her grandmother? Is this the first step in Paige joining the family business? And will Stan come any closer to learning the truth about the Jennings family?! This has been such a great season, and I can’t wait to see how it comes to an end tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “March 8, 1983,” Stan’s plan to save Nina has unpredictable consequences; Elizabeth and Paige go on a trip; and Philip finds an unlikely ally after an emotionally charged mission.

See how the season ends tonight on FX at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Survivor, Criminal Minds, The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, black-ish, Arrow, Supernatural, Young & Hungry, Broadchurch, and Big Time in Hollywood, FL.

freshofftheboatsmallTonight is the first season finale of the hilarious ABC comedy Fresh Off the Boat. Last week, Louis and Jessica reluctantly “volunteered” at the kids’ schools. When Eddie heard that his father had played professional basketball back in Taiwan, he was excited to have him coaching his team. However, he was disappointed that his father was concentrating on basic drills instead of teaching them to fly through the air Crouching Tiger-style. Meanwhile, Jessica was also disappointing Emery and Evan through her volunteer role of producing the school play. She threw out the school’s fun, lively play in exchange for her own darker, more serious, “Acting: A Cautionary Tale (Mr Gumdrop Goes To Lazywood)” — she wanted to teach the children that acting was not a worthwhile profession.

This show is always so much fun and the highlight of my Tuesday-night TV viewing! Constance Wu is a riot and deserves an Emmy for her performance as Jessica! I hope tonight is not the last we see of this series, because I really want to see more of the Huang family’s misadventures in the ’90s!

On tonight’s episode, “So Chineez,” Jessica fears that the family has lost its Chinese identity, so she strives for them to reconnect with their culture. To that end, she insists that Louis decline an invitation to join the country club and makes Eddie do a report on China for his World Day project.

Check out the funny tonight on ABC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Forever, Undateable, One Big Happy, Weird Loners, The Flash, iZombie, Younger, Your Family or Mine, and Finding Carter.
