If We Controlled Your Remote… 9/18/15

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

znation918smallLast week, Z Nation returned with a bang (or several). The missiles hit their targets, but our resilient survivors managed to dodge the blasts. Citizen Z finally got a chance to get out and fight some zombies and also put out an APB for Murphy, promising a fake reward for whomever brings him to the CDC HQ. So now everyone and his brother is out trying to capture our favorite zombie whisperer. However, Murphy has no interest in going to California; he just wants to enjoy his powers, which he uses to stop anyone who threatens him and his new protege Cassandra. When the rest of the group caught up with Murphy at his new lair, he arranged a zombie stripper show and sneaked out the back once a fight broke out in the club.

Will someone be able to wrangle Murphy long enough to get him to the CDC to find a cure (and try to claim the bounty)? Will Citizen Z leave what’s left of his bunker and join the rest of the group? What new dangers will the group face from the nuclear fallout? I can’t wait to see what zombie and human threats await this group and what other zombie wackiness we’ll get next!

On tonight’s episode, “White Light,” the heroes are reunited but soon find themselves navigating an unexpected tragedy as they engage in fierce fighting with both zombies and bounty hunters who are eager to capture Murphy, dead or alive. Meanwhile, Vasquez makes a strategic decision.

To see what tragedy the group faces, tune in to Syfy at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Continuum and the Doctor Who series 9 prequel short.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 9/17/15

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!

Jenny’s Choice

jeffdunham917smallI’m so excited for NBC’s lineup tonight. Two of my favorite performers have specials, which will make for a fantastic three hours of television.

First up, there’s the one-hour Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood special with one of the most entertaining and talented ventriloquists in the world. The special will include a live performance by country music superstar Brad Paisley, as well as guest appearances by comedian-actor Chris Parnell and mixed martial arts fighter and former UFC champion Chuck Liddell. It will also include never before seen stand-up and behind-the-scenes sketches featuring Dunham and his beloved eccentric characters.

matfranco917smallFollowing that is the 2-hour Mat Franco’s Got Magic. Mat won the previous season of America’s Got Talent and is one of my favorite magicians ever. He’s adorable, but he’s also just darn funny and entertaining. The special will show Mat traveling from his home in Rhode Island to Las Vegas, stopping along the way to perform at incredible locations and for celebrities, everyday Americans, family, & friends. It will feature appearances by Neil Patrick Harris (who performs magic as well!), Heidi Klum, Rob Gronkowski, Jason Mraz, Penn & Teller, and others.

To enjoy this great three hours of TV, tune in to NBC at 8/7c & 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped & Geeks Who Drink.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 9/16/15

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

moonbeamcitysmallTonight, Comedy Central kicks off its new retro animated spoof of 1980s cop dramas, Moonbeam City. Rob Lowe stars as Dazzle Novak, an unpredictable, self-centered womanizer who works as a detective for the metropolitan police department. He’s constantly trying to prove that he’s the best cop on the force and is always playing a game of one-upmanship with equally competitive rival Rad Cunningham (Will Forte). Chief Pizzaz Miller (Elizabeth Banks) tries to reign in Dazzle but knows his unorthodox methods get the job done. Meanwhile, ambitious young rookie Chrysalis (Kate Mara) is trying to prove she’s ready to take on some cases.

The series is like Archer meets Miami Vice. It’s set in the flashy, neon style of the 1980s with a very synthy soundtrack. The cops of Moonbeam City don pastel suits as they chase down drug dealers, thieves, or whatever criminal element shows up that week. Dazzle is crude and politically incorrect but somehow manages to get the job done — and always finds time to hop into bed with some ladies. This is certainly not a show for kids — it’s very adult-themed and filled with sex, drugs, violence, and language.

While I wasn’t blown away by tonight’s episode, I did find a lot of humor, saw definite potential, and look forward to checking out more of the show. Rob Lowe is great, playing his typical larger-than-life Rob Lowe persona, while Will Forte gives an equally-entertaining performance as pretty much a less suave, more whiney Rob Lowe.

On tonight’s episode, “Mall Hath No Fury,” set in the mean streets of a crime-ridden metropolis, dashing but dim-witted detective Dazzle Novak is determined to get his “#1 Cop” mug back from his chief rival, Rad Cunningham, while an underworld kingpin wreaks havoc on Moonbeam City.

If you don’t want to wait, you can check out tonight’s premiere early on ComedyCentral.com.

Go back to the 1980s tonight on Comedy Central at 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Brother, MasterChef, Young & Hungry, Kevin From Work, The League, You’re the Worst, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Impastor, and Twinning,
