Saturday is the series premiere of Planet Earth: Blue Planet II on BBC America at 9/8c. Presented by Sir David Attenborough and scored by Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer, Planet Earth: Blue Planet II takes viewers on a revelatory and magical journey into the mesmerizing world of our oceans — by turn tempestuous and serene, exquisitely beautiful and bleakly forbidding. They cover 70% of the Earth’s surface and hold 97% of all the water in the world. There is more life in the deep sea than anywhere else on Earth, and it is said we know more about the surface of Mars than the depths of our own planet. Our final frontier is the deep ocean – Earth’s “inner space.” By using breakthroughs in science and cutting-edge technology to explore this final frontier, the series reveals the astonishing characters, otherworldly places and extraordinary new animal behaviors. Warm and compelling stories about marine habitats and their characterful inhabitants will leave you emotionally invested in our oceans and the creatures who dwell there, and bring a whole new perspective to this little-known world. Over four years in production, the teams mounted 125 expeditions, visited 39 countries, and filmed on every continent and across every ocean. They spent over 6,000 hours diving underwater, filming everywhere from familiar shores to the deepest seas.
Tonight is also the series premiere of Say Yes: Wedding SOS on TLC at 9/8c. The show will focus on transforming couples who have let themselves go. From every-day life challenges including balancing kids and work and trying to keep that special spark alive, the couples featured on the show are in desperate need of a makeover for their special day. In each hour-long episode, style expert George Kotsiopoulos will work with the bride and groom and get them ready to walk down the aisle. From wardrobe and hair to veneers and tattoo removal, the couple will meet each other at the altar in front of their friends and family with a new look and, most importantly, renewed confidence as they head off into wedded bliss. Viewers will go along for the ride as they watch the couples go from drab to fab from custom suit fittings, liposuction, corrective eye surgery, microblading and laser hair removal, just to name a few.
Finally, tonight is a new episode of Saturday Night Live on NBC at 11:29/10:29c, with host Jessica Chastain and musical guest Troye Sivan.

The Simpsons
It’s possible that The Simpsons has referenced gambling and the casino more than any other animated show, which would make sense, as it’s the longest running series of its kind. From the very first episode, where Homer rescues Santa’s Little Helper from the greyhound track to Homer and Ned being tricked into getting married in Las Vegas, there have been a number of classic moments relating to the casino, but the episode that perfectly encapsulates everything good, bad, or indifferent about gambling is Season 5 Episode 10. The aptly named “How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Legalise Gambling” is intended to be a satirical look at Las Vegas, focusing on the panic which sweeps Springfield when plans for a casino to be built within the town are approved.

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!
Last week’s episode of Hawaii Five-0 was a good one but very emotional. It was great for Grover to have an episode that was focused on his past and what led him to Hawaii. We learned a long time ago that Grover left Chicago after a case went bad, but we found out in this episode that losing the child that night put him over the edge. Grover was suicidal, and it turns out it was only his son skipping school and being home when he was about to shoot himself that saved his life. While talking down a suspect in this episode, Grover disclosed the whole story and in the end saved the day. I was so happy that he was able to use his tragic past to help the man this time and that the team had his back as well.
On tonight’s episode, “Na keiki a Kalaihaohia (The Children of Kalaihoahia),” when the corpse of a diamond smuggler is stolen from a graveyard, Five-0 tracks down his partner, Voss, who will stop at nothing to retrieve their latest batch of contraband. Also, Adam recruits a new confidential informant, Jessie Nomura; Tani gets a devastating call; and McGarrett tasks Pua to find his and Danny’s stolen tools. American Idol winner Phillip Phillips guest stars as Voss, and Christine Ko guest stars as Jessie Nomura.
To see how Adam’s new recruit makes out, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.
I’ll also be watching Blue Bloods, Taken, MacGyver, and Hell’s Kitchen.
