I’m always amazed at how much is on TV these days, and there’s no sign that things are slowing down anytime soon. Between Amazon and Netflix, entire seasons of four different shows are dropping today alone! I’m really looking forward to checking out Netflix’s new reality series, White Rabbit Project. “MythBusters” Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara have been reunited to investigate weird and wild events from history and pop culture in their fun, creative way. Some of the topics include jailbreaks, superpower technology, heists, and unconventional world war two weapons. The trio will devise experiments and build crazy contraptions, all in the name of uncovering the truth. The final season of MythBusters just didn’t feel the same without Kari, Tory, and Grant, so I’m thrilled to see that Netflix got the gang back together for more crazy, scientific fun!

Check out the fun investigations now on Netflix!

I’ll also be watching/recording Fuller House, Medici: Masters of Florence, MacGyver, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, LEGO Frozen Northern Lights, and Z Nation.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 12/8/16

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!

Tonight, the first season of Pitch comes to a close. Last week, it looked like Mike was going to be traded to the Cubs. Mike wasn’t going to participate in his final game as a Padre for fear that he would get injured, but Ginny got the crowd cheering, so Mike stepped up to the plate to bat…only to make the game-ending strike out. Mike was dejected, but the crowd still cheered for him in appreciation of all of his years with the team. Meanwhile, Amelia grew concerned when she learned that Ginny had given her brother Will money to help with his sports bar venture; and soon after, Will’s business partner Evelyn also started to have her own concerns when she noticed some discrepancies in the restaurant’s budget. That evening Ginny went on a date with Noah, the billionaire CEO of a gaming company, which went really well. She received a text from Mike to meet him at a bar, so she headed over, thinking it was some sort of good-bye party with the team. However, she was the only other player there, and it ended up being more like a date. Just as it seemed like the two were about to kiss, Mike received a call from Oscar letting him know the trade fell through.

So what’s the future for Mike and Ginny? Is there something between them, and if so, can they still be teammates, and how would Amelia react? What’s going on with the missing money from the restaurant fund, and how will Ginny react when she finds out the truth about her brother? Tonight is the last episode of the season, and I’m interested to see how it wraps up, especially with a renewal still to be determined.

On tonight’s episode, “Don’t Say It,” Ross warns the Padres that Ginny’s closing in on her pitching limit, but management is reluctant to end her season. Meanwhile, Amelia confronts Will about money that’s missing from the restaurant fund.

See how the season (possible series?) ends tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Great American Baking Show, The Great Indoors, Life in Pieces, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Top Chef.

Recap/Review – This Is Us – 12/6/16

This week’s episode of This Is Us (titled: “Last Christmas”) is another emotionally packed episodes that begs the question, “Can something bad happen on Christmas Eve?”

Recap:

Throughout this episode, mortality comes into play. In the past timeline, Kate needs an appendectomy, and while at the hospital, the Pearson family runs into Dr. K, who was in a car accident. Kate is terrified of going into surgery, and Rebecca rips a piece of Christmas decoration from a garland, saying it’s a magical Christmas branch, and tells her daughter that nothing bad happens on Christmas Eve. While Kate is in surgery, Rebecca and Jack visit with Dr. K. The doctor informs them that he isn’t going to make it due to internal bleeding. At this point, Randall comes into the room after spending his own money to purchase a snowglobe for Dr. K. Dr. K accepts the gift and tells Randall that if he ever has a chance to do good for someone else, he should.

In the present, Kevin and Sloane are arguing, and we realize that Oliva hasn’t shown up for work and the play is cancelled. Sloane forces Kevin to come to Hanukkah dinner with her to make it up to her (and the fact that she told her mother she was dating the Manny). At dinner, Sloane is the starving artist according to her family yet gives a fantastic retelling of the Hanukkah story to her nieces. Kevin tells her that she should play the lead in the show and he will pay for the production with his own money.

I’ve seen a good handful of people claiming they won’t watch Criminal Minds anymore since Hotch left, but I think they’re missing out. I still say now, after being here a few episodes, Adam Rodriguez is a great fit for the team/show. Like last week, when he was part of the group who teased Garcia about being the last to know something instead of the first. That something had to do with Tara (remember… TAR-uh, not TEHR-uh), who was the focus of last week’s episode, since a strange man showed up to meet her, acting like he was her brother. Turned out he was one of the multiple-personality-disorder patients and Mr. Scratch had brainwashed him into believing he really was Tara’s brother. Thankfully the team was able to find her real brother and save him (barely!) and also get some help for the poor guy who’d been brainwashed.

Even after the addition of Luke Alvez a few weeks ago, the show/team is welcoming a new cast member tonight. Damon Gupton (who you might recognize from shows like Goliath, Bates Motel, The Player, Empire, and Prime Suspect) is joining the team. To me, he seems a bit older than the others (he’s not… I mean, technically I think he’s Kirsten Vangsness’s age, so only a few years older than AJ Cook. But from everything I’ve seen him in, he “feels” older, so it’ll be interesting to see how he fits in with the team. Plus, his character is a seasoned FBI profiler, so will he fit in as smoothly as Rossi did? I’m very interested to see how the dynamic might change now.

On tonight’s episode, “Scarecrow,” the BAU team heads to Yakima, Wash., after the remains of a dozen people are found along a creek bed. Also, they welcome new team member Stephen Walker (Damon Gupton), a seasoned profiler from the Behavioral Analysis Program of the FBI.

Travel with the team to Washington tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Goldbergs, Lethal Weapon, Speechless, Brothers Take New Orleans, Cooks vs Cons, & black-ish.
