Kyle’s Choice

Tonight, the second season of Scream Queens comes to a close. Last week we finally learned the identities of all three of the Green Meanies who have been wreaking havoc on the hospital – Dr. Cassidy Cascade (Taylor Lautner), Wes Gardner (Oliver Hudson), and Nurse Ingrid Hoffel (Kirstie Alley). Last season’s killer, Hester Ulrich, mediated a meeting between the murderous trio as they argued who would get to kill the Chanels, and during this meeting we discovered which of the killers was responsible for each of this season’s murders. Meanwhile, the Chanels managed to pass their MCAT exams (some by cheating) in order to be able to participate in a live surgery that was to be aired on a wildly popular talk show hosted by Dr. Scarlett Lovin. However, just before the surgery, Dr. Lovin drank a poisoned coffee that was meant for Chanel and dropped dead. When Wes tried to kill a Chanel, he broke the terms of the deal among the Green Meanies, and so Dr. Cascade and Nurse Hoffel forced Wes into a boiling hydrotherapy tub. This also had the added benefit of making people think the Green Meanie was finally dead, and so they’d drop their guard. In the final moments of the episode, Dean Munsch announced that she had a rare disease that only gives her one month to live.

Will the remaining two Green Meanies complete their plan to kill the Chanels and the rest of the hospital staff? Or will Dr. Cascade’s love for Chanel #3 prevent him from going through with it? Will Dr. Holt give into his own urges to kill Chanel? Is there any hope that Dean Munch can be saved from her terminal disease? And where is Zayday being held, and will she be able to escape before she winds up dead as well? This has been a really wild, fun, and crazy season, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it all gets wrapped up tonight!

On tonight’s finale, “Drain the Swamp,” the Green Meanie triggers a final plan for revenge as Hester boldly moves to secure her future, and Brock performs risky surgery to save Dean Munsch.

See how the season ends tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Terry Crews Saves Christmas, Good Behavior, and Shooter.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 12/19/16

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, NBC is airing a special preview of the new game show The Wall, from executive producer LeBron James. The series is hosted by actor/comedian Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead, @midnight), and each week he offers pairs of contestants the chance to take home over $12 million dollars in cash and prizes! All that stands between these pairs of contestants and the life-altering prizes is a massive four-story wall. As the contestants get answers correct, green balls fall from the giant Plinko-like wall, and the dollar amounts listed in the slots the balls land in get added to the contestants’ total. However, as they get questions wrong, red balls fall into amounts that are deducted from their potential winnings. As the game progresses, things get even more exciting as the contestants are no longer able to communicate with their partners and their faith in one another is put to the test. Not only do the contestants need the skill to answer the questions correctly, but they also need a bit of luck, hoping the balls falling from atop the wall bounce into the right slots.

It seems like the show is really going to push the emotional stories of the contestants and the way their lives are going to be changed by the money they could win. I really enjoy Chris Hardwick’s podcast and other hosting duties, and I think he will add a lot of humor and fun to this show. I look forward to checking out tonight’s special preview.

On tonight’s premiere, “John and Angel,” two-person teams answer questions for cash and prizes.

Check out the fun new game show tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Man With a Plan, The Wall, and People of Earth.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 12/18/16

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, the first season of USA Network’s crime drama Eyewitness comes to a close. Last week, things got really tense – Lukas survived being shot but was in a coma. Ryan tried to poison Lukas’s IV bag in order to finally silence him, but Lukas was moved to another room before the bag was attached. Ryan was also surprised to learn that Philip, Helen’s foster son, was another witness to his murders. Meanwhile, Philip recognized Ryan at a gas station and alerted Helen (though neither was aware that he is the FBI agent she has been working with). Things went into high alert at the hospital, and Helen called Ryan to help protect the boys. However, shortly afterwards she finally had her Keyser Söze moment – in Ryan’s glove compartment she found the cologne worn by the killer, and in the backseat she saw the hat and glasses Philip said the killer was wearing. Her heart sank as she realized that she had just told the killer exactly where the boys were hiding.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this first season of Eyewitness. The series has a very unique look and feel. Each of the characters has his or her own interesting storyline, complete with character flaws and personal demons to overcome. And the central relationship between Philip and Lukas is one that is not regularly seen on TV. At the same time, we’ve also been getting this really tense cat-and-mouse game with Ryan always being two steps ahead of Helen and ready to kill her if she learns too much. I found myself yelling at the screen, hoping for Helen to realize what was really going on with Ryan. She had just been handing him all the evidence and details on the case. I was thrilled to finally see her wake up at the end of last week’s episode. But is it too late? Will she be able to stop him before he gets to the boys? Also, assuming his son survives, how will Bo react to Lukas’s relationship with Philip? And how will Tony take the news that his idol is the killer they had been looking for?

On tonight’s finale, “Mother’s Day,” Helen learns the identity of the killer and races to find Philip and Lukas, who are missing.

Catch the finale tonight on USA Network at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary and The Librarians.
