If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/28/19

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!

Jenny’s Choice

My pick tonight is a twist on the songster reality competition show, Songland. Instead of singers, this time the contestants will be competing to be the top song writer. Each week, one guest artist (including Charlie Puth, Meghan Trainor, Kelsea Ballerini, Macklemore, will.i.am, & more!) will visit “Songland” to hear unknown songwriters pitch their original material. Four songwriters will perform their original tracks in front of the guest artist and three big-time producers in music: Ryan Tedder, the lead singer of OneRepublic and a four-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer for Adele, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé; Ester Dean, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer for Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj, as well as an actress who starred in the Pitch Perfect film franchise; and Shane McAnally, a Grammy-winning songwriter and producer for Kacey Musgraves, Kelly Clarkson, and Sam Hunt, who has 38 #1 country records and was named the 2019 ACM Songwriter of the Year.

Each song’s lyrics, arrangements, beats, melody, and story will be considered by the panel as the producers and guest artist engage in a lively discussion about ways to creatively adapt them to better fit the style and sensibility of the recording artist of the week. After the performances, the guest artist will choose three songwriters to move forward to the studio and pair each songwriter with the producer best suited to perfecting their songs. In the studio, the songs will take shape in unexpected ways as the songwriter and producer duos work together to win over the recording artist. In the end, a winner will be chosen and their song will be recorded and released for a global audience. What a fun twist to the other music competition shows, yeah?

On tonight’s episode, “John Legend,” undiscovered songwriters are put center stage as they pitch their original material to mega-star John Legend and a panel of chart-topping music producers.

Check out this fun new show tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Jeff Dunham: Talking Heads, America’s Got Talent, MasterChef Junior, Chopped, The Hot Zone, Jeff Foxworthy: Stand-up Guy, Blood & Treasure, & Sweet Home Sextuplets.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/27/19

Posted on May 27, 2019 by

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!

Jenny’s Choice

Starting tonight is a 3-night event miniseries on National Geographic Channel (NGC) called The Hot Zone. From executive producer Ridley Scott, the series is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Richard Preston and gives us a dramatic look at the true story of the origins of the Ebola virus and its first arrival on US soil. In 1989, the virus appeared in chimpanzees in a scientific lab near Washington DC. A US Army veterinarian working with a secret military SWAT team put herself in mortal danger when she tried to head off the outbreak before it spread to humans.

The miniseries has a great cast, starting with the lead, Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife, ER). Noah Emmerich (The Americans) plays her husband, also in the army. Alongside them are Robert Sean Leonard (House), James D’Arcy (Marvel’s Agent Carter), Topher Grace (That 70s Show), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), Nick Searcy (Easy Money, Justified), Paul James (Greek, The Path), & Robert Wisdom (Happy Town). I’ve heard great things about the short series, and I’m excited to watch it starting tonight!

On tonight’s first episode, “The Arrival,” Dr. Nancy Jaax has one of the most dangerous jobs in the world handling deadly viruses; after a lab accident, she is faced with a possible Ebola outbreak on U.S. soil.

Then on the second episode, “Cell H,” Dr. Nancy Jaax and her lab partner, Dr. Peter Jahrling, must take matters into their own hands to determine the source of the virus before it spreads; Dr. Jaax convinces an employee to hand over samples from infected monkeys.

See how the terrifying virus begins in the US tonight on NGC starting at 9/8c.
