chicagofire119smallThe last new episode of Chicago Fire was part of the big crossover event. Once Hermann was found on the floor at the back of the bar, the team gathered at the hospital where he was being treated. Freddie had apparently gotten a good shot in, because Hermann was in bad shape. Cruz felt really bad about it, since he’d been the one to bring Freddie into the firehouse in the first place, so he went all renegade and tried to find Freddie by questioning a gang leader. He nearly got his head shot off, but Severide arrived just in time with the truck, which prompted the gang leader to let Cruz go with a warning. Meanwhile, Mouch proposed to Trudy, although it was kind of a spur of the moment thing and not very elegant. So she basically turned him down. Later, he got the chance to apologize and explain where his head was at, and she turned it around and asked him, with the cutest proposal I’ve seen in a while. And of course, Hermann continued to heal in the hospital throughout the other two episodes of the crossover, and they finally caught Freddie and hauled him off to jail.

We pick back up this week and it’s obviously been a while since the stabbing, since Hermann’s back at work. Chili is still acting really strange. Her character has really become…weird this season. Last season I didn’t really like her because she seemed so rah-rah, gotta sell my product and I was worried she would take advantage of Hermann. This season, especially the last couple of episodes, she’s just been all over the place emotionally. I don’t know if it’s drugs or some mental issue or what, but it’s going to start affecting her work even more than it already has, and I hope it doesn’t begin to endanger Brett or any of the fire crew!

On tonight’s episode, “The Path of Destruction,” a tornado threatens the city. Chili and Brett lock heads when Chili makes a critical mistake, prompting Brett to report to Chief Boden regarding Chili’s erratic behavior. Meanwhile, Otis pleads for Dawson to help him solve his women troubles, and Severide is asked to lend assistance to Agent Alex Ward (guest star Liza Bennett) from the Department of Homeland Security.

See if they can stay out of the tornado’s path and what Severide can do for Homeland tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped, Hollywood Game Night, NCIS, Team Ninja Warrior, Grandfathered, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Chicago Med, Junk Food Flip, The Little Couple, NCIS: NOLA, & The Shannara Chronicles.

galavant13smallHuzzah and Tally Ho! Tonight, one of my favorite shows from last year finally returns! I am so glad Galavant got a second season because the first season ended on quite the cliffhanger! As the season came to a close, all of the prisoners had escaped from the castle, except for Sid. Madalena killed Richard’s brother and took the throne for herself, with Gareth by her side. Meanwhile, Isabella made her way to the home of her young cousin/future husband, where she was locked away in a tiny room. And Galavant and Richard were boarding a ship, trying to make their way back to their loves.

Will Galavant find Isabella before she marries her child groom? Will King Richard reclaim his throne? How will Madalena and Gareth run their new kingdom, and how will Sid fit in as their new squire? And how will Chef and Gwynne deal will their new freedom?

I thoroughly enjoy this show and have been anxiously awaiting new episodes! The characters are so much fun, and each episode is so creatively written, mixing in humorous situations and dialog, clever medieval parodies of modern-time pop culture and technology, and extremely witty and catchy original songs. I love having an hour of musical comedy to look forward to every week – and with at least 4 original songs each Sunday, there’s bound to be one that gets stuck in your head the next day!

The second season picks up immediately where the first left off. (If you missed the first season, you can still grab it for free on iTunes!) This series is perfect for binge-watching as it plays out like long story. However, each episode also has its own self-contained arcs. The second season will be aired across 5 weeks, 2 episodes each Sunday. I had access to screeners of the first 7 of this year’s 10 episodes, and I couldn’t help myself… I binged them all in a day! But even though I’ve already seen tonight’s premiere, I can’t wait to re-watch the episodes again tonight!

On tonight’s first episode, “A New Season aka Suck It Cancellation Bear,” Galavant and the crew are shipwrecked thanks to bad advice, and their overland trek back to Richard’s kingdom leads to a bar in West Hollow-wood. Then, in “World’s Best Kiss,” Galavant sees a fortune teller and is able to contact Isabella, who is planning her escape from Hortensia.

Sing along tonight on ABC starting at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Simpsons, Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life, Family Guy, Bordertown, & Worst Cooks in America.

bones1210smallIt’s been several weeks since the last episode of Bones. A political journalist was killed after publishing an article exposing corruption in the NSA. After lots of twists and turns, it was finally revealed that the journalist’s source was actually her killer. It was a complicated case, and while it was good, the best part of the episode was the personal stuff, from Booth and Brennan discussing what food they should have for Thanksgiving dinner, then deciding to invite their friends from the Jeffersonian and FBI, and finally having dinner all together – including Booth’s surprise…a very grown-up-looking Parker!

There are two episodes tonight, including the fall finale, which makes me very sad! I have to admit that I caved and watched both on the FOX press site, and I will say they are two very, very good episodes. The first is fun, funny, and a nice episode to whet your appetite before the second, which is much, MUCH darker, scary, intense, and one of my favorite Bones episodes to date. Every single person did an amazing job. I plan to rewatch both episodes at least once.

On tonight’s first episode, “The Cowboy in the Contest,” To solve a murder, Brennan and Booth go undercover at an Old West-style shooting competition, while Angela and Hodgins discuss the future of their family and Cam gets close with photographer Sebastian Kohl (guest star Gil Darnell). Then on the second episode, “The Doom in the Boom,” the team investigates the murder of a police officer that sends shockwaves through both the Jeffersonian and FBI teams. Behavioral analyst Leslie Green (guest star Sara Rue) is assigned to work with Booth on the investigation and lends her professional assessments on who the cop killer could be, while Cam must make some decisions in her personal life and the entire team re-evaluates what is truly important to them.

See all the fun and excitement tonight on FOX starting at 8/7c.

theleague129smallAfter 7 hilarious seasons, the FX/FXX comedy The League finally comes to an end tonight. Last week, the guys were getting sick of giving automatic wins to Ruxin and suspected he might be milking the situation of his wife’s passing. So Taco finally confronted him, and Ruxin agreed to stop taking the free passes. Meanwhile, Raffi – in his unique and twisted way – tried to help Ruxin with the grieving process by offering to take his sister’s place in the bedroom.

Later, Raffi managed to get the league banned from the website after posting a video of himself and Dirty Randy having sex with some birds (and not the British use of the word) to the chat board. This meant Kevin was forced to run the league by hand – which led to a lot of issues, especially since he let baby Chalupa Batman help with the math. Due to the league stats mess, everyone will now be in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Andre tried to get an exclusive restaurant to let him use a dinner reservation Ruxin had set up for Sofia and himself. The episode ended with one final bombshell, that Pete’s ex-wife Meegan is pregnant.

After seven seasons, how will this show come to an end? It’s anyone’s game this time around – so who will be the final Shiva winner and who will take home the Sacko? Is Andre the father of Meegan’s baby? And if so, how will Pete and the others react?

On tonight’s finale, “The Great Night of Shiva,” the fates of the Shiva, Sacko, and Snip are decided. Also: Ruxin makes a big decision that impacts his chances of winning and the league’s survival.

To see how the series ends, tune in to FXX at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, Criminal Minds, The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, black-ish, Arrow, Supernatural, American Horror Story: Hotel, You’re the Worst, and Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter.

greatholidaybakingshowsmallI love cooking competition shows – that’s no shocker. One of my favorites is The Great British Baking Show and its various “sister shows.” We’ve seen a version of it in the US already, but tonight is the series premiere of The Great Holiday Baking Show on ABC. Six home bakers will compete in three challenges, with one baker being sent home, each week. The judges for this series are Mary Berry (England’s “Royal Queen of Baking,” author and television personality), who judges the British versions, and James Beard Award-Winning pastry chef and author, Johnny Iuzzini. And hosting this series are husband and wife duo Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) & Ian Gomez (Cougar Town).

I’ve seen the premiere, and I gotta say I love all the hosts and judges. I adore Nia and Ian, who I’ve enjoyed watching on a few episodes of Celebrity Name Game), and Mary and Johnny are fun judges. As always, this is going to be a fun four weeks of great baking!

On tonight’s episode, “Cookie Week,” the bakers compete in three challenges: Signature Bake, showcasing their family recipes as they create two sets of Christmas cookies that are both delicious and unique; Technical Bake, a surprise recipe where they must demonstrate precision and technique; and finally, the Showstopper Bake, where the bakers are asked to create elaborate flavorful gingerbread houses.

See the fun and flavorful cookies the bakers bake tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, Cake Wars, Major Crimes, Guilty Pleasures, Superstore, & Top 5 Restaurants.
