brooklyn99126smallOn the last new episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry had to go visit a prisoner in Rikers, but when Sharon, his very pregnant wife, had plans to meet him at the precinct so they could go on a last-minute-before-the-baby-comes weekend vacation, he left Jake in charge of keeping her safe and comfortable while she waited for him. Unfortunately Sharon admitted that Captain Holt made her uncomfortable – (because he was always awkward around her… Hilariously so!) – so Jake had his work cut out for him. Also unfortunately, Sharon went into labor, and Jake and Holt had to track down Holt’s ex to deliver her baby because Sharon didn’t want to go to the hospital after a bad experience during her first delivery. In the end, there were complications and he suggested she go anyway, and she did. It’s a good thing, as the baby girl was FOURTEEN pounds. Eek! And because he’d been so good with Sharon and he was friends with Terry, Jake got to be the first to meet the new baby.

On tonight’s episode, “The Swedes,” in an attempt to solve an international case, Jake and Rosa are forced to work with a pair of Swedish cops and things get very competitive, very quickly. Meanwhile, Amy and Terry offer to help Gina prepare for a big test and Holt enlists Charles to sub in as his squash partner for an annual tournament.

To see if Jake and Rosa can get along with the Swedes, tune in to FOX at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Librarians, Agent X, Holiday Baking Championship, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

young&hungry819smallTonight, the ABC Family comedy Young & Hungry returns for the second half of its second season. When we last left off, Gabi found out that Josh had been keeping the fact that he had feelings for her a secret for the past 3 months and that Cooper had also lied to cover this up. So as Cooper and Josh (literally) fought over Gabi, she decided she couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t want either one of them. She eventually made her peace with both guys, and when Josh asked her for a second chance to take her out on a date, she thought about it. However, when Gabi was offered an apprenticeship with a chef in Switzerland, she took it, leaving Josh a goodbye message on his cell phone.

So how will things have changed when Gabi returns from her internship? Will she go back to working with Josh? Will she decide to give him that date he asked for? Or have either or both of them already moved on and found someone else? I’m looking forward to more fun episodes of the series, but I hope this show doesn’t drag on the “will they or won’t they?” as long as Melissa & Joey did!

On tonight’s episode, “Young & How Gabi Got Her Job Back,” Gabi returns from Switzerland and gets a new job with Josh’s neighbor. Before long, Josh worries that his neighbor is attracted to Gabi, so he resorts to snooping on them.

See what happens when Josh spies on Gabi tonight on ABC Family at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Brother, Celebrity Wife Swap, MasterChef, Kevin From Work, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Impastor, Flipping Out, Suits, Mr. Robot, and Twinning.

kevinfromwork812smallTonight, ABC Family kicks off its new workplace comedy, Kevin From Work, with a double-dose of episodes. Kevin (Noah Reid, Backpackers) is about to leave his life in LA for a new job in Italy. He has been madly in love with his cube neighbor Audrey (Paige Spara) for the past 3 years and has never had the courage to tell her. So in a drunken haze, he decides that since he’ll never see her again, it’s the perfect opportunity to reveal his feelings. However, when his new job falls through, he must beg his horrible boss (Amy Sedaris, Strangers with Candy) for his old job back and now must deal with the fallout of his declaration. Rounding out the cast of characters are Kevin’s wild sister Roxie (Jordan Hinson, Eureka), his best friend Brian (Matt Murray, Rookie Blue), and Audrey’s roommate Patti (Punam Patel).

ABC Family has made the first episode available to watch online/On Demand. From the ads, I was expecting this series to be more wild and crazy. While it does have these moments, it also takes time to explore the characters a little more and builds to a rather heartfelt conclusion that makes me anxious to see tonight’s second episode. The first episode kind of had a bit of an A to Z-type vibe (minus the narration). Will the show become more of a broad comedy or go for a slower romcom feel, or will it find some happy medium? I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season plays out.

Step into Kevin’s world tonight on ABC Family at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Brother, MasterChef, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Impastor, Flipping Out, Suits, Mr. Robot, and Twinning.

babydaddy610smallLast week’s summer premiere of Baby Daddy opened with Riley hiding out in New Jersey at her parents’ house, trying to avoid dealing with the Wheeler brothers. Ben tried to convince Riley they could still be friends and that she should move back to the city, but she told him she was contemplating relocating to Buffalo. Meanwhile, Evelyn, the woman who lived in the apartment across from Ben’s, passed away. Bonnie tried to impress Evelyn’s granddaughter Ashley in order to get the apartment listing and even resorted to pimping out Danny after she discovered Ashley was a fan. The two really hit it off and started dating. Back in Jersey, in a Say Anything-style move, Ben used Emma to convince Riley to come back — and she moved into the newly-vacated apartment.

This half of the season should bring some awkward moments, with Danny dating again and Riley now living right across the hall. Will these two ever get together? Will the show try to pair up Riley and Ben again? Or will we finally see Riley move on from the Wheelers and find a new guy?

On tonight’s episode, “It Takes a Village Idiot,” Emma’s babysitters feel unappreciated, so they go on strike, forcing Ben to bring Emma along on his dates and shifts at work. Meanwhile, Danny and Bonnie enroll in a cooking class with her favorite chef; and Tucker tells Riley to invent a fake boyfriend.

See how it goes with Emma at work and on dates with Ben on ABC Family at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Briefcase, Celebrity Wife Swap, MasterChef, and Melissa & Joey.

hotincleveland63smallThrough six seasons, I’ve enjoyed the stories and antics of Melanie, Joy, Victoria, and Elka on Hot in Cleveland. They started out as three women from L.A. who ended up living in Cleveland when their plane had to land there, and they discovered that they loved the attention (from men LOL ) they were getting. Because things weren’t going their way in L.A., they decided to stay, ending up renting a house that came with its own caretaker/roommate: Elka. There’s been love, heartbreak, and the friendship between all four of them has grown over the six seasons, and I’m very sad to see the show coming to an end tonight.

Going into the final episode, Joy and Bob are engaged. Will the wedding actually happen? Will Melanie and Victoria finally find love again? Will everyone stay in Cleveland, or will Melanie, Joy, and Victoria end up back in California? I’m sad to see it go, but I can’t wait to see what happens tonight!

On tonight’s extended finale, “Vegas, Baby/I Hate Goodbyes,” Joy and Bob’s wedding plans are derailed when they learn there is a baby available for adoption in Las Vegas; Victoria connects with a long-lost love.

Catch the 90-minute series finale and see how it all ends tonight on TV Land at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing MasterChef, Melissa & Joey, Brother vs Brother, Bullseye, Mystery Diners, & Craziest Restaurants in America.
