tbbt512smallTonight is the season finale of The Big Bang Theory. It’s been a season of big changes for our favorite nerds. Penny and Leonard finally tied the knot. Sheldon and Amy broke up, tried to date other people, and then got back together and ended up consummating their relationship for the first time. Howard and Raj formed a band. Stuart moved out of Howard and Bernadette’s house. Raj dated both Emily and new girl Claire, and then he and Emily broke up and he is now sort-of dating Claire. Leonard, Sheldon, and Howard invented…something (some new guidance-system thingy. LMAO I’m no scientist!) and are considering the applications and getting it patented. Amy learned that Sheldon is a secret hoarder… And finally, Howard and Bernadette found out they were pregnant! Like I said, big changes!

Last week, Leonard’s mother, Beverly, came into town and Penny volunteered to pick her up from the airport and spend some time with her in order to make a connection. Unfortunately, that didn’t go as planned. Beverly was more interested in Amy and Bernadette and their relationships with Sheldon and Howard. When Penny confronted her, Beverly expressed her displeasure about Penny and Leonard getting married without her. That was a little confusing, since she sure didn’t act like she cared when she first learned about it! But whatever… Penny offered to have a second private ceremony for Beverly now that she’s in town. Beverly agreed, so it looks like we’ll get to see a second Penny/Leonard wedding tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “The Convergence Convergence,” Chaos ensues when Leonard’s recently divorced parents, Alfred (Judd Hirsch) and Beverly (Christine Baranski), and Sheldon’s devoutly religious mother, Mary (Laurie Metcalf), come to town. Also, Wolowitz and Koothrappali think the government is out to get them when they are contacted about their guidance system.

Attend Penny and Leonard’s second wedding in the season finale tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Bones, Man vs Child: Chef Showdown, 2 Broke Girls, Beat Bobby Flay, & Impractical Jokers.

ncis510smallLast week’s NCIS was kind of sad but also heartwarming. The episode opened with a man in a military uniform saying good-bye to his baby daughter, teenage son, and wife before being deployed. Then in the episode, that same teenager foiled what seemed to be a home invasion by grabbing his father’s gun and shooting at the intruder. Unfortunately, the boy was hiding what had really happened – the man, a drug dealer, was specifically coming after him because the boy had witnessed him killing a rival. Fortunately, the man was caught and the boy and his family were safe, and the boy’s father was brought home early, reuniting the family.

Then in the ongoing search for Jacob Scott, Director Vance and FBI Agent Fornell went over to London. They finally met up with former MI6 Chief Jessica Terdei and Fornell brought her to the US after Jacob Scott (we assume) found her at her father’s house. Unfortunately, while they were hiding out at Gibbs’s house, Fornell noticed a footprint in the kitchen and realized there was someone in his basement. He went back to Jessica and warned her, but before they could pull their guns or escape, they were shot. She was killed, and we were left with Fornell reaching out for his phone, where his daughter was calling.

We’re down to the final two episodes of the season and Michael Weatherly’s (Tony’s) final two episodes of the series. So first, where was Tony last week?! Was MW filming his pilot for Bull? Maybe… I don’t know. But it seemed very odd to me that with only a few episodes left, he wasn’t in that at all. Second, will Fornell survive? I can’t imagine that they’ll kill him off (for the same reason Vance can’t die…). His daughter lost her mother. Surely they won’t make her an orphan by killing off her father too… And finally, tonight we meet the two new agents who will be joining the team next season, Sarah Clarke (24) plays FBI Special Agent Tess Monroe and Duane Henry is MI6 Office Clayton Reeves.

On tonight’s penultimate episode, “Dead Letter,” the NCIS team, alongside the FBI and MI6, continue an international manhunt for an escaped British spy who has left one colleague fighting for their life in ICU.

Meet the soon-to-be team members and find out Fornell’s fate tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped Junior, The Real O’Neals, Chicago Med, Containment, NCIS: NOLA, Chicago Fire, Chopped, & Person of Interest.

thegoodwife2016smallTonight, after seven seasons, The Good Wife comes to an end, with Alicia in a similar place as when it all started. Last week, Peter’s trial began, and Diane quickly realized it was going to be an uphill battle as the judge was not a fan of Peter’s. During the trial, Diane put her husband Kurt on the stand to refute the idea that Peter had mishandled evidence. However, this resulted in the finger being pointed at Cary, which didn’t do anything to help repair the relationship between Cary and Alicia. While both sides made some good arguments, the outcome was certainly no guarantee. But as Peter contemplated taking a plea deal of 2 years, he got notice that the jury had already returned. Meanwhile, some construction workers accidentally demolished a wall on the 28th floor instead of the 18th, but Diane decided to use this to her advantage and expand her planned all-female firm with a grand two-story entrance. However, David Lee was heavily against the whole notion of the all-female firm–he threatened legal action and was extremely rude to any potential new partners in order to try to dissuade them.

Will Peter be found guilty or innocent, or will he take the plea deal before the verdict is read? Will Alicia finally divorce Peter and move on with Jason? (I can’t believe he had the nerve to ask if she’d visit him in jail – let her finally move on with her life!) And what is going to happen with Diane and David Lee’s law firm? The show has a lot of stuff to wrap up, and hopefully they will be able to give us a satisfactory conclusion for all of these characters we have followed over the past 7 years!

On tonight’s finale, “End,” the series reaches its dramatic conclusion.

To see how the show wraps it up tonight, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, The Family, The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, Food Network Star, Fear the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, Veep, and Dice.

bluebloods56smallThis time of year always brings me a mixture of emotions. On one hand, I am always excited to see the excellent episodes that May brings, but on the other hand, it’s finale time, which means my favorites disappear for another year. Tonight it’s Blue Bloods that is wrapping up its season, and I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see where they’ll leave us next.

On the last episode, Erin and Anthony struggled to find a way to get a witness in a murder trial to testify as he feared for his safety. Erin managed to trick the defendant into confessing on camera when she locked the witness up for contempt and just happened to place him in a cell next to the defendant. It was a very smart move, which reminded me why I’ve always loved her character. Elsewhere, Frank was being encouraged to go the union party for the police officers, but he knew that if he went, the men wouldn’t have fun, so he sent someone in as a representative instead, and that made everyone happy. I’m hoping that in the season finale, we’ll get some sort of movement on the relationship between Jamie and Eddie, because it’s high time we see them together!

On tonight’s episode, “Blowback,” things heat up as Frank, the mayor, Erin, and the DA’s office contend with public outrage after a grand jury doesn’t indict an NYPD officer for the controversial shooting of a teenager that was caught on video. Also, when an officer is shot in what seems like retaliation, Danny and Baez go on a manhunt for the suspect.

To find out if they can calm the storm of the public outrage, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Amazing Race and Hawaii Five-0.

chicagopd54smallIt’s been just over a month since we last saw Chicago PD, and I’ve missed it! It’s my favorite of the “Chicago” shows, although I love all three. On the last episode, police got calls about a woman who’d stabbed a man, and it turned out the woman was a kidnapping victim who escaped when he was moving her to a new location. The guy was a total sociopath. He was a realtor and he had kept this woman chained in the basement of one of the houses. It turned out his wife was a previous victim he’d kidnapped who adamantly refused to believe the police when they tried to tell her who she really was. It finally sunk in at the end, and they were able to arrest the guy. But he was really creepy!

I’m not a big fan of the Burgess/Roman pairing they seem to be shoving down our throats. Burgess & Roman were great as partners, and Burgess is still not over Ruzek, so why are they forcing that on us? Argh. Frustrating! But I do love seeing Lindsay and Halstead! They should definitely keep giving us more of them. LOL

On tonight’s episode, “In a Duffel Bag,” responding to a call about a suspicious duffel bag at the Chicago Lakefront, Voight is horrified to discover that the bag contains the frigid and unmoving body of a newborn baby. Determined to find the culprit who abandoned the infant, Intelligence receives a promising lead based on information provided by Chicago Med, and Ruzek helps zero in on a potential suspect. Meanwhile, Voight is surprised to hear that his son is in town, and Burgess and Roman grow closer.

See if Intelligence can track down whoever left the baby in the duffel bag tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Heartbeat, Rosewood, The Goldbergs, Criminal Minds, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, black-ish, & Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
