themiddle513smallTonight, another season of The Middle comes to a close, but fear not, ABC has already announced that the Hecks will return next season. Last week’s timely episode was Mother’s Day themed. The kids struggled to find a perfect (and cheap) gift for their mom — every time they thought they were finished with their shopping, there was some new hiccup that sent them back to the store. Meanwhile, Mike was annoyed by the process involved in making reservations for the afternoon tea Frankie wanted. And Frankie didn’t really like the answers she heard when she asked the kids what they didn’t like about her parenting style.

The Middle is a fun, solid, family-friendly comedy that I don’t hear enough people talking about. Sue and Axl are the highlight of the series for me — they are always so funny, and I really enjoy their love/hate sibling dynamic. I’m looking forward to seeing how this further evolves next season when they are attending the same college. But first Sue has to graduate high school, and it will undoubtedly not go as planned in some crazy way. ABC’s hilarious 2-hour Wednesday comedy block is always one of the highlights of my TV week, and The Middle is a big part of that.

On tonight’s episode, “The Graduate,” Sue prepares for her graduation and worries the day won’t go perfectly. Meanwhile, Brick gets the opportunity to skip a year in school; and Axl grows concerned about the fun summer pictures Devin posted on social media.

To see if Sue can graduate without a problem, tune in to ABC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, black-ish, Arrow, Supernatural, Young & Hungry, and Big Time in Hollywood, FL.

ncis512smallLast week’s NCIS was very emotional. The team, along with Ned Dorneget, was on the search for the group that is recruiting children and teenagers. The episode before that, Gibbs was almost killed when one of those teens blew up himself and a thankfully empty (after Gibbs got the passengers out) bus. The team figured out the group was on the hunt for S-bombs on the black market. McGee and Ned went to Egypt to try to help find the terrorist group’s leader. Unfortunately, that’s where the other six bombs were planted at the hotel they were at, and as Ned was trying to get people away from the hotel, he wasn’t able to stop a man from tripping the laser, which blew the bombs…killing Ned.

Ned was far from my favorite character, but he’d grown up so much from the time he joined the team temporarily. Being on the NCIS cyber team had done him a lot of good. When McGee flew home with his body, we met Ned’s mother…who, it turns out, is CIA. She told Gibbs that it was time to get these guys, so with her and the CIA’s help, The Calling is going down, I can only imagine — but will they take anyone else down with them? Tonight’s season finale should answer that question, but I have my fingers crossed!

On tonight’s episode, “Neverland,” NCIS feverishly investigates the Calling, a global terrorist group that is recruiting teens via the Internet, following a deadly bombing overseas that resulted in Ned Dorneget’s death. Mimi Rogers guest stars as CIA Officer Joanna Teague, Ned’s mother.

Find out if the team can take down the Calling tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

bones57smallLast week was another great episode of Bones. A TV celebrity chef was killed, and leads took Booth and Brennan to the Royal Diner. Thankfully, they were innocent. The killer turned out to be the chef’s producer, who was angry that the chef was looking to partner with someone new. The best part of the episode was Hodgins, who — after advice from squintern Jessica — invented a new product that protected beakers and other glass products from breaking. It could be used to wrap around breakable products or as flooring in case they’re dropped. Then he sold it…for forty million dollars to start out with. Crazy. That’s good for Hodgins & Angela, who lost all their money when Pelant stole it.

I’m worried about Booth and his gambling. I know it’s going to affect his relationship with Brennan, so I worry how much it’ll affect it, especially now with her being pregnant. Tonight’s two episodes should shed more light on it, but I’ve got my fingers crossed that it isn’t too bad!

On tonight’s first episode, “The Lost in the Found,” when the remains of a private high school student are discovered in a ditch, Brennan and Booth surmise that bullying was a factor. When Brennan discovers similarities between her own teen years and the victim’s, it leads the team to question whether or not the girl’s death was, in fact, a murder. Then on “The Verdict in the Victims,” with only 48 hours before the execution of serial killer Alex Rockwell, whom Brennan and Booth helped convict, the Jeffersonian team must race against the clock to confirm Brennan’s new suspicion that Rockwell may not have been responsible for those crimes.

To see Booth, Brennan, and the team solve the cases, tune in to FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Big Bang Theory, Beat Bobby Flay, & Lip Sync Battle.

freshofftheboatsmallTonight is the first season finale of the hilarious ABC comedy Fresh Off the Boat. Last week, Louis and Jessica reluctantly “volunteered” at the kids’ schools. When Eddie heard that his father had played professional basketball back in Taiwan, he was excited to have him coaching his team. However, he was disappointed that his father was concentrating on basic drills instead of teaching them to fly through the air Crouching Tiger-style. Meanwhile, Jessica was also disappointing Emery and Evan through her volunteer role of producing the school play. She threw out the school’s fun, lively play in exchange for her own darker, more serious, “Acting: A Cautionary Tale (Mr Gumdrop Goes To Lazywood)” — she wanted to teach the children that acting was not a worthwhile profession.

This show is always so much fun and the highlight of my Tuesday-night TV viewing! Constance Wu is a riot and deserves an Emmy for her performance as Jessica! I hope tonight is not the last we see of this series, because I really want to see more of the Huang family’s misadventures in the ’90s!

On tonight’s episode, “So Chineez,” Jessica fears that the family has lost its Chinese identity, so she strives for them to reconnect with their culture. To that end, she insists that Louis decline an invitation to join the country club and makes Eddie do a report on China for his World Day project.

Check out the funny tonight on ABC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Forever, Undateable, One Big Happy, Weird Loners, The Flash, iZombie, Younger, Your Family or Mine, and Finding Carter.

scorpion420smallMy first pick tonight is the season finale of Scorpion. This show’s been such a great surprise for me. I mean, I’d hoped it would be good when I first heard the blurb, but I’ve enjoyed it even more than I’d hoped I would. But last week was killer, when Walter found out that Cabe knew three days before the bombs were dropped what Walter’s software was actually being used for. Walter was so angry that Cabe hadn’t told him. (Cabe’s logic was that Walter would change the software, rendering the bombs useless. When Walter said that’s what he’d have done, Cabe said Walter would’ve gone to prison and he himself would’ve been arrested for treason. It makes sense…) But still, Walter was so angry that he told the director that he wouldn’t work with Cabe anymore, so Cabe was off the team. Then when Paige realized Ralph was behaving so like Walter that he would sneak off from school, make his way to the research site where they were, and then put himself in grave danger to help the team, she told Walter she quit and would be moving to Maine with Drew — and that she didn’t want Ralph to grow up to be like Walter. I could hear shipper hearts breaking everywhere! Walter went a little crazy. He threw out the attitude that he didn’t need Cabe or Paige, and then he took off in the fancy sports car the rich, former Scorpion client gave him…and promptly crashed through a guardrail and went over the edge of a cliff, leaving us with a lot of fears and worries coming into tonight’s finale.

Obviously Walter can’t die, Paige can’t move away, and Cabe can’t be gone for good. The show’s already been renewed for a second season, thank goodness. So the questions remains: How will they recue Walter? Will Walter reconcile with Paige and Cabe after a near-death experience? Will Happy finally forgive Toby and put the poor man out of his misery by throwing him a bone and giving him a kiss? I can’t wait to find out tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “Postcards from the Edge,” Scorpion, torn apart and uncertain about their future as a team, must come together for their most important mission yet: to save Walter’s life as his car teeters on the side of a cliff.

See how the team saves Walter tonight on CBS at 9/8c.
