If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/10/17

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, Better Call Saul kicks off its third season on AMC. When we last left off, Jimmy had purposely altered his brother’s legal documents in order to steal Mesa Verde as a client. Chuck blamed his electromagnetic hypersensitivity for his absentmindedness; however, he suspected that Jimmy had something to do with the error. Chuck quit his job at the firm, had a panic attack that sent him to the hospital, and was back to wearing his tin foil hat around his darkened house. Jimmy felt bad and confessed to his brother what he had done, but he was unaware that Chuck had arranged the situation and had recorded the conversation. Meanwhile, Mike’s plan to execute Hector Salamanca was interrupted by a blaring car horn, and when he went to stop the noise, he found the word “Don’t” written on his vehicle.

Who left the note for Mike, and why didn’t the author want Hector killed? The general theory is that it was Gus Fring – are we going to see how those two first partnered up? How does Chuck plan to use this recording against his brother? Now that he knows that there was nothing physically wrong with him, will he abandon his paranoid ways and become the top lawyer he once was? And how will the existence of this tape affect Kim and Saul’s relationship, which is ultimately doomed, given where Breaking Bad picks up? I have been thoroughly enjoying this prequel series, and I’m looking forward to seeing where things go this season and what connections to the original series will pop up.

On tonight’s premiere, “Mabel,” Jimmy and Chuck’s relationship deteriorates; Kim feels the pressure of running her own firm; and Mike investigates the note left on his car.

If you missed any of the second season, AMC will be running a marathon of the entire second season starting at 11:30AM ET today. Otherwise, catch the start of the new season tonight on AMC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Man With a Plan, Superior Donuts, Bates Motel, Young & Hungry, Baby Daddy, and Angie Tribeca.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/9/17

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!

Also of note… We will not be posting the Remote regularly this week. I have a family funeral to attend midweek, so I’ll be gone Tuesday-Thursday. I may schedule a few to post throughout the week, but it won’t be anything consistent. That being said, here’s my pick for tonight!

Jenny’s Choice

I’m excited for the rest of the season on NCIS: LA, since it seems like there’s some good stuff coming. Last week was an exciting one, especially for Sam and Callen, who were trapped on a plane with the bad guys. Let me tell you… If I’m on a plane and bullets start flying, I’m gonna bend over and kiss my butt good-bye, ’cause that’s a deadly combination! Thankfully it all worked out for our boys. Of course, I never doubted that it would! And we had some cute Deeks/Kensi stuff, where she wanted to spend the weekend away, but he told her no. She kept at him until he broke down and told her that her friends were all coming into town to celebrate her being completely better. Now, what they were told about why she was down and out, I have no idea, since they don’t know she’s NCIS!

Tonight’s episode looks like a fun one. Daniela Ruah (Kensi) apparently won Dancing with the Stars in Portugal, and since Kensi has to go undercover at a Cuban club tonight, I know we should see some awesome moves. It was all her, not a stunt/dance double, so…yay! Go, Daniela!

On tonight’s episode, “From Havana with Love,” the NCIS team investigates a defense contractor, Rebecca Larmont (Shanna Collins), designing a nuclear attack weapon after her estranged husband, Victor Larmont (Lou Ferrigno Jr.), says he has proof she is selling Navy secrets to a foreign government. Also, Kensi goes undercover as a professional dancer at the Cuban club where the husband works, while Deeks is undercover as the bathroom attendant.

To see how Kensi does dancing the night away, tune in to CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, Little Big Shots, Chicago Justice, Match Game, & Spring Baking Championship.

Saturday features 4 series premieres & 1 season premiere. To read more about the new series, click the link below. Otherwise, check out tonight’s schedule!

Click here for series premiere information

Tonight is the series premiere of Nate and Jeremiah by Design on TLC at 9/8c. TLC makes a move back into the property space in a new series with interior designer and author Nate Berkus and interior designer and husband Jeremiah Brent. Their first venture into TV together follows the couple inside and outside of the home, as they juggle married life and raising their baby daughter, Poppy, while helping distressed homeowners turn a disaster into a dream home. In each one-hour episode, Nate and Jeremiah use their talent and irresistible charm to transform lives through design, rescuing homeowners who have gone over budget and over schedule on renovation projects and cannot see an end in sight. With budget at the forefront and the couple’s lifestyle in mind, Nate and Jeremiah boldly revisit the home’s layout to build a practical-yet-stylish space. They then search high and low for unique design pieces to bring character and a personal touch into these refreshed dwellings. But the joys and challenges that Nate and Jeremiah encounter professionally are nothing in comparison to those faced in their most important job, as fathers to baby Poppy. The proud parents bring the audience inside their private life to see firsthand how they balance demanding careers and spending time with “the girl that changed everything.”
 
Tonight is also the 2-hour series premiere of The Son on AMC at 9/8c. Based on Philipp Meyer’s New York Times best-selling and Pulitzer Prize finalist novel, this one-hour drama is a sweeping family saga spanning 150 years and three generations of the McCullough family. The series traces the transformation of Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan), the charismatic family patriarch, from good-natured innocent to calculating killer. He loses everything on the wild frontier, setting him on the path to building a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege. Eli’s eldest son Pete (Henry Garrett), has grown up in his father’s shadow and struggles to make him proud while forging his own identity. Pete’s strong-willed daughter, Jeannie (Sydney Lucas) idolizes her grandfather and despite being raised in a male-dominated world, rejects her fate of existing solely to marry and bear children. Eli’s ruthlessness pits him against his wealthy Spanish neighbor, Pedro Garcia (Carlos Bardem) and his quest for power triggers consequences that span generations. Shared through a series of flashbacks, The Son pulls viewers into the world of young Eli McCullough (Jacob Lofland) and his father figure, Comanche war chief, Toshaway (Zahn McClarnon) and deftly explores the McCullough’s rise to become one the most powerful family dynasties in Texas.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Hidden Money Makeover on TLC at 10/9c. Design expert Jill Martin and handyman Gage Cass show people around the country that their dream makeover isn’t out of reach. The jam-packed hour features real-life homeowners who turn their clutter into cash, and transform their eyesore living spaces into aesthetically-pleasing parts of the home.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Road Hauks on History Channel at 10/9c. The show follows the creation of custom off-road vehicles that pay homage to the past while still maintaining a modern, rugged look. Kenny Hauk and his crew of expert mechanics and fabricators at Hauk Designs are history buffs who pride themselves on the ability to make builds that are both historic and have high-horsepower. Hauk began his business out of his parents’ garage and has grown the company into a world-renowned off-road automotive shop. The team’s inspiration for vehicles has no limits. From a Colt .45 handgun to a steam locomotive to a Viking battering ram, they transform all eras of history into their builds. Hauk executes his designs with the help of his team including lead mechanic Rick, lead fabricator Rob, mechanic Clint, operations manager Justin, technician Josh Moe, and his wife and part owner Vianna.
 
Tonight is also the season premiere of Murder Made Me Famous on Reelz at 8/7c.
 
Finally, tonight is a new episode of Saturday Night Live on NBC at 11:29/10:29c, with host Louis C.K. & musical guest The Chainsmokers.
