chicagofire111smallLast week was a busy episode for Chicago Fire. Faced with the possibility of losing foster son Louie because Casey used his position as alderman to jump Gabby ahead in line for fostering, Casey called Susan Weller to help put out the political fire. It worked…but he also figured out that she was behind it all to begin with – she’d set the other alderman on Casey to get him to call her. He’s now threatened her to stay away from him and Gabby, but I don’t know how well that’ll work… Meanwhile, Severide was all about hanging out with rich, party guy Travis Brenner. He even got Travis to stop by Molly’s as a favor to the guys, in the hopes that he would drive more customers, which worked. Of course, not long before Severide was supposed to go off on a long trip across Europe with him, Brenner showed more of his true colors by leaving a woman (who’d nearly died of a drug overdose at his party) outside the hospital on the bench, rather than taking her inside. Severide realized the guy wasn’t good for him and decided not to go on the trip. And finally, Stella met a sick, homeless teenager during a tunnel fire, and she tracked him down – along with help from Chief Boden, the DA, and Ms. Goodwin from Chicago Med – to help get him treatment. It was nice to see that side of Stella after the whole Grant thing (which, by the way, ended in a way that let us see just why Stella had handled it all like she did).

On tonight’s episode, “Nobody Else is Dying Today,” while checking out a warehouse as part of his Alderman’s duties, Casey finds himself in a bad spot when a forklift accidentally pierces a tank storing acid causing an extremely hazardous spill. With a father and daughter in peril, Casey is forced to use extreme measures to remedy the situation. Dawson and Brett respond to an elderly woman who has a difficult senior advocate. Meanwhile, Mouch and Brett continue along with their secret project together, and Otis shares some exciting news as he prepares himself for an unusual expedition. Amy Morton (Chicago PD) guest stars.

Check out the excitement tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped Junior, NCIS, American Housewife, Bull, MasterChef Canada, No Tomorrow, Aftermath, Chopped, & NCIS: NOLA.

hawaiifiveo1028smallHawaii Five-0 has been incredibly strong this season so far with the chess piece killer storyline – especially with McGarrett and Alicia being kidnapped two weeks ago. I have to say I was actually surprised yet relieved that it was a female serial killer this time, because we’ve had so many male killers. It’s a fresh angle. Even though McGarrett and Alicia got away from her, I assure you we definitely haven’t seen the last of this killer, since she got away…and producers have said we should see her again later this season.

Last week was more of an emotional rollercoaster, in the sense that Adam was finally released from prison, allowing Kono to be reunited with her love. It was also very emotional watching Chin struggle with the knowledge that the people who are adopting his niece aren’t actually who they say they are, but he can’t prove it. I really hope they work it out, because personally I think she’d be better off staying with Chin.

On tonight’s episode, “Ka hale ho’okauweli (House of Horrors),” on Halloween, Five-0 investigates the murder of a medium with a checkered past who was apparently scared to death by a poltergeist. Also, Kono and Adam are kidnapped by what appears to be a death cult.

To see if the team can save Kono and Adam before it’s too late, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching MacGyver and Blue Bloods.

greatindoors1027smallI love fish-out-of-water comedies, and I think I’m going to love CBS’s latest, The Great Indoors. Joel McHale (Community & The Soup) stars as Jack, a renowned adventure reporter for an outdoor magazine. He is used to traveling the world, living an “outdoorsy” life while writing up his adventures for the magazine. But when his boss, Roland (Stephen Fry!), announces that the magazine is moving to web-only, Jack has to become an office bee when Roland assigns him to supervise their online team of “journalists.” These millennials are all the opposite of Jack – used to doing everything indoors and online, where their idea of observing nature is watching a YouTube video of a bear family enjoying a swimming pool in someone’s backyard.

It should be a lot of fun watching them all try to get the other(s) to open their minds, get out of their comfort zones, and show that just because something is different, it doesn’t mean it’s bad. The show also stars Susannah Fielding, Chris Williams, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Christine Ko, & Shaun Brown.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Joel McHale stars as Jack, a renowned adventure reporter for an outdoor magazine who must adapt to the times when he becomes the new desk-bound boss to a group of millennials in the digital department of the publication. Amy Hill, Jason Boegh, Will Herndon, & Deborah Baker, Jr. guest star.

Meet Jack and the rest of the team tonight on CBS at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Big Bang Theory, Rosewood, The Good Place, Chicago Med, Chopped, The Almost Impossible Game Show, Beat Bobby Flay, Impractical Jokers, & Pure Genius.

chicagopd1026smallI missed having a new episode of Chicago PD on last week because of the debate. On the episode a couple of weeks ago, people were shot and driven into with a car outside the concert of a young (teenage) rapper – including the rapper himself – and it was thought to be gang-related. It was, but not in the way they first thought. Turned out one gang was trying to turn two other gangs against each other, and it looked like it was working. They started attacking each other, until Voight took the leaders from both out to one of his spots and explained that neither were behind the original attack and to let this one go. That was a fun scene! Meanwhile, while trying to talk to some of the people on the “watch list” (a list of who they thought was most likely to be the next victim), Burgess saw Atwater’s younger brother at the house of one of the “watch list” kids. She cornered him, took him home, and stayed until Atwater got home. I don’t know if Atwater should have come down harder on the kid or not. It seemed like he kind of just brushed it under the rug. Huh…

On tonight’s episode, “A War Zone,” Intelligence is tasked with tracking down the dealers of fentanyl – a drug that has been linked to multiple overdoses around the city. As they investigate possible sources, the team uncovers a series of dealers in a college smuggling ring. Meanwhile, Tay and Burgess come across a bloodied child who exposes a dark and twisted secret about his home life with his parents. Additionally, Mouse causes tension as he looks to reenlist in the army, and Platt tells Tay that she has been reassigned to her original post.

See if they can find the dealers and why Tay has to go tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Blindspot, The Goldbergs, Speechless, Criminal Minds, Frequency, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Worst Cooks in America, black-ish, & That Awkward Game Show.

ncisnola1025smallLast week was a defining episode for Sebastian on NCIS: New Orleans. While his mom was in town, he was kidnapped by a small group of people who wanted his knowledge of virtual reality games (specifically ones where you break out of prisons and locked rooms, etc.) to help break a bad guy out of prison. Sebastian kind of rocked it… He reached out secretly via tablet to Pride when the bad guy left him alone in a room in the prison so Sebastian could start the process to break out the prisoner. After the bad guys nearly got away, Sebastian actually helped take them down after the left the prison. He felt so confident that he asked out the waitress he’d been sort of flirting with for a while.

I didn’t like that Percy wasn’t there last week, especially because Lasalle didn’t know why she wasn’t there. Stupid writers… Giving us shippers some hope and then yanking it away! LMAO Tonight looks like it should be a good episode…an emotional one. I can’t wait!

On tonight’s episode, “Course Correction,” NCIS and FBI investigate a private plane crash in the bayou that killed three sailors. Also, Sonja and Lasalle interview candidates for the team’s open agent position.

See if they can figure out what caused the plane crash tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped Junior, NCIS, American Housewife, Bull, MasterChef Canada, No Tomorrow, Aftermath, Chicago Fire, & Chopped.
