Jenny’s Choice

scorpion1123smallMy pick tonight is the exciting new episode of Scorpion. Last week was crazy. The team was tasked to help break into the UN, but what they came to find out was they’d been tricked by the MI6 lady and were supposed to help her agent kill an ambassador…who in his free time is an arms dealer who supplies weapons to child soldiers. But of course Scorpion figured out that the MI6 lady was actually in bed with (so to speak) the ambassador, so they made it look like they were following her orders, when in reality, they and the MI6 agent worked to take down the ambassador AND the MI6 lady legally. It was pretty fun, case-wise. On the personal front, Megan was taken off the ventilator and begged Sylvester for no more. He promised he’d figure out a way, even though Walter had gotten a court order declaring him her legal medical proxy, claiming she wasn’t of sound mind to make the decision herself. Sly’s way of doing that? Marrying her. Ray – who is a crackup! – is a legally ordained minister via some online church, and he married them (off-screen), so when they told Walter and showed him their “Band-Aid rings,” he had no choice but to accept it. He finally agreed no more if it caused her pain and promised he would continue working to save her. They were a couple of really emotional moments between Sly and Megan and also with Walter, Sly, and an asleep Megan.

Tonight is even more exciting and emotional than last week. I’ve seen the screener, and it’s another fun episode case-wise, and it certainly bumps up the emotion. It’s really well done on the part of every member of the team.

On tonight’s episode, “Arrivals and Departures,” when Team Scorpion and Walter’s parents visit Megan in the hospital as her health deteriorates, they are quarantined after a deadly fungus outbreak threatens to infect everyone. Camille Guaty, Pamela Shafer, & Glenn Keogh guest star as Megan, Louise, & Sean O’Brien.

See if the team can stop the fungus outbreak and help Megan tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Supergirl, Cake Wars, Major Crimes, NCIS: LA, Blindspot, Guilty Pleasures, Castle, & Top 5 Restaurants.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 11/22/15

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

thelionguardsmallTonight, the Disney Channel is airing an all-new animated special set in the world of The Lion King. The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar is the one-hour preview for a new animated series coming to Disney in January. Simba (Rob Lowe The Grinder) and Nala’s (Gabrielle Union, Being Mary Jane) cub Kion (Max Charles, The Strain) is growing up and wants to prove that he’s ready to follow in his father’s footsteps. The Lion Guard has been protecting the Pride Lands for ages and has always been comprised solely of lions. However, now that he is the leader of the group, Kion wants to assemble a more diverse group of animal friends, each with his or her own talents, to protect their home land from hyena Janja (Andrew Kishino) and his sidekicks, Cheezi (Vargus Mason) and Chungu (Kevin Schon).

The new Lion Guard consists of cheetah Fuli (Diamond White, Haunted Hathaways) who brings her speed, hippopotamus Beshte (Dusan Brown, About a Boy) who brings his strength, cattle egret Ono (Atticus Shaffer, The Middle) who brings his excellent sight, and honey badger Bunga (Joshua Rush) who brings his bravery. Some other familiar faces will also return – Kion’s sister Kiara (Eden Riegel, Youthful Daze), wisecracking meercat Timon (Kevin Schon) & warthog Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella), baboon Rafiki (Khary Payton, Teen Titans Go!), red-billed hornbill Zazu (Jeff Bennett), and the ghost of Mufasa (James Earl Jones). The cast of characters also includes Kiara’s lioness cub friends Tiifu (Sarah Hyland, Modern Family) and Zuri (Madison Pettis, The Fosters), and Janja’s minion vulture Mzingo (Jonny Rees, Hawaii Five-0).

While I never watched Disney’s previous Timon and Pumbaa animated spin-off series, I am really looking forward to checking out this new spin-off. I was a big fan of the original Lion King movie, and watching the trailer for tonight’s special, I was quickly reminded of why. It looks like this new show recaptures the humor, drama, and action that made that film franchise so great.

See if this new show will take you back to your childhood tonight on Disney Channel at 7/6c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, The Librarians, The Walking Dead, Into the Badlands, and Getting On.

Saturday on TV – 11/21/15

Saturday is the series premiere of Demons in the City of Angels on Reelz at 9/8c. For many, Los Angeles provides a dazzling dreamscape built on the hopes and dreams of those who risked everything to take their shot in show business. But demons also dwell in the City of Angels and lurking beneath the glitz and glamour are cold-blooded killers, brutal murders and shocking crime scenes. Demons in the City of Angels presents the tragic crimes that darkened the streets of L.A. and through emotional interviews and stylized re-creations, each one-hour episode takes viewers through the twists and turns of murder investigations that stunned the entertainment world.

Tonight is also the series premiere of Tiny House World on FYI at 10/9c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 10:30/9:30c. Each episode features a prospective homeowner looking to find the ideal mini-dream home in locations as diverse as Paris, France, Sydney, Australia, and Dublin, Ireland. With three homes to choose from, buyers will find that picking the perfect small space, that best fits their budget and desires, is no easy feat — even in the most exotic and exciting locations. Small in stature, the homes are often big on ingenuity and design. Still, the challenges of finding the perfect home abroad loom as large as any real estate hunt in the U.S. Viewers will see how the trend of tiny living has taken shape in other areas of the world and learn how different cultures approach design difficulties, space limitations and more.

Tonight is also a new episode of Saturday Night Live on NBC at 11:29/10:29c, with host Matthew McConaughey and musical guest Adele.
