If We Controlled Your Remote… 8/20/17

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!

Kyle’s Choice

Tonight, Showtime’s comedy Episodes, which stars Matt LeBlanc (Friends) playing a heightened version of himself, finally returns to kick off the show’s fifth/final season. The new season picks up a few months later. Matt has been hosting the crazy game show “The Box,” which has become a major hit, but he’d rather be acting. Despite the success of the show, producer Merc (John Pankow) is still bitter with Matt for sleeping with his wife. Meanwhile, husband-and-wife writing team Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Greig) had their show taken away and are now begrudgingly working for irritating new showrunner/Sean’s former partner Tim (Bruce Mackinnon). Meanwhile, Carol (Kathleen Rose Perkins) is living like a hermit, jobless and disgraced after being fired.

I had forgotten how much I missed this show until I checked out the first few episodes of the season. I absolutely love these characters and this world. The series is so much fun, poking fun at the inner-workings of the TV business. However, as the season opens, some of the character dynamics of the past seasons seem to be missing — the storylines remain separate for a few episodes, especially with Matt working separately from the Lincolns and Carol not really part of the group. However, I am still thoroughly enjoying this series and look forward to seeing how it all comes to an end this season.

On tonight’s premiere, “Episode 501,” Matt’s gameshow is a hit, but he must also have daily contact with Merc Lapidus; Sean and Beverly work for Sean’s ex-partner; Carol goes into a tailspin.

Don’t miss the season premiere tonight on Showtime at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The $100,000 Pyramid, Big Brother, The Great Food Truck Race, The Strain, The Last Ship, and Game of Thrones.

Saturday on TV – 8/19/17

Saturday is the series premiere of Wild West on BBC America at 9/8c. Welcome to America’s Wild West. A picturesque land with a litany of characters including the shrewd coyote, the feisty hummingbird, the mighty blue whale, and the spirited mustang. The “Wild West” documentary explores this fascinating area of the continent, revealing how three radically different worlds were formed, the forces that shape them today, and how life has found brave and enterprising ways to survive. Discover the gritty, tough deserts, the cool grand mountains, and the dynamic and changeable coasts. Home to a vibrant cast of tricksters, pioneers, and outlaws, the series also finds out how people have survived in this harsh environment over the years. Beginning with the examination of Native American cave art, Wild West moves through the ghost towns of past pioneers and on to today – where the land is used for both business and pleasure. Wild West will shine a light on the landscapes, wildlife and people of this vibrant world in new and compelling ways.

Tonight is also the 2-hour season premiere of Halt and Catch Fire on AMC at 9/8c.
