Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Megan’s Choice

codeblack1125smallSome would say I’m predictable in my television choices because lately they consist of procedurals and medical dramas. However, if loving shows like Code Black makes me mundane, then I’m okay with that. Honestly, I have fallen in love with this show. It is a very well-written, intriguing drama that leaves me wanting more every week.

Last week, we saw Mario struggle with the reality that he got stuck with a needle that had been in a patient with HIV. He panicked but also pretended he’d be fine. Angus figured it out in the end and helped Mario deal with it. Christa was put in the pit to deal with all the patients, but she needed Neal’s help, which is apparently awkward because something happened the night before on their date – which I hope means that they are going to end up together in an actual couple, not just colleagues who have a sexual chemistry. I’m really excited to see where the show takes us, and you should be too, so don’t forget to watch.

On tonight’s episode, “The Son Rises,” when the lead actor of the musical “The Lion King” tour arrives at Angels Memorial with a throat infection, Leanne gives him a diagnosis that puts both his career and life in jeopardy. Also, the doctors and the cast of “The Lion King” help a 17-year-old boy deal with the difficult decision of taking his father off life support.

To see if they can help the actor before he loses his dream career, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Rosewood, Empire, and Cutthroat Kitchen.

ncisnola1124smallI have really fallen in love with NCIS: NOLA. Having one of my favorite “worlds” (the NCIS world) set in unique and picturesque New Orleans has been great. Last episode was killer (no pun intended). I felt so bad for Francesca, the fiancee of the man who was killed. I was glad that I was wrong when I guessed that he might have been in on it. Instead, it was her (unknown to her) half brother who killed her fiance because she was going to be able to inherit some of their recently deceased father’s estate. I did guess correctly that the city-wide blackout was tied into the murder somehow. It was just too coincidental not to be. But poor Francesca… She now knows who her father was, but he’s dead, and now her fiance is dead too. At least she’ll get to know her father’s wife… (Not sure that’s a real positive or not. LOL) I did love how Loretta had to conduct the autopsy via candlelight! That was fun and a little creepy.

I’m excited about tonight’s episode because we’ll get to look back at the early relationship between Pride and Lasalle. I always love getting to see the backstory for characters, and as this one takes a look back just before Hurricane Katrina, it should be a really emotional one.

On tonight’s episode, “Billy and the Kid,” the murder of a Marine provides new clues in the first case Pride and Lasalle ever worked together, just before Hurricane Katrina struck the city and washed away any evidence. Also, the team celebrates Thanksgiving together in Pride’s bar.

See if the team can catch a murderer before they wit down for Thanksgiving dinner tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped , Grandfathered, NCIS, Chicago Med, MasterChef Canada, & Chicago Fire.

scorpion1123smallMy pick tonight is the exciting new episode of Scorpion. Last week was crazy. The team was tasked to help break into the UN, but what they came to find out was they’d been tricked by the MI6 lady and were supposed to help her agent kill an ambassador…who in his free time is an arms dealer who supplies weapons to child soldiers. But of course Scorpion figured out that the MI6 lady was actually in bed with (so to speak) the ambassador, so they made it look like they were following her orders, when in reality, they and the MI6 agent worked to take down the ambassador AND the MI6 lady legally. It was pretty fun, case-wise. On the personal front, Megan was taken off the ventilator and begged Sylvester for no more. He promised he’d figure out a way, even though Walter had gotten a court order declaring him her legal medical proxy, claiming she wasn’t of sound mind to make the decision herself. Sly’s way of doing that? Marrying her. Ray – who is a crackup! – is a legally ordained minister via some online church, and he married them (off-screen), so when they told Walter and showed him their “Band-Aid rings,” he had no choice but to accept it. He finally agreed no more if it caused her pain and promised he would continue working to save her. They were a couple of really emotional moments between Sly and Megan and also with Walter, Sly, and an asleep Megan.

Tonight is even more exciting and emotional than last week. I’ve seen the screener, and it’s another fun episode case-wise, and it certainly bumps up the emotion. It’s really well done on the part of every member of the team.

On tonight’s episode, “Arrivals and Departures,” when Team Scorpion and Walter’s parents visit Megan in the hospital as her health deteriorates, they are quarantined after a deadly fungus outbreak threatens to infect everyone. Camille Guaty, Pamela Shafer, & Glenn Keogh guest star as Megan, Louise, & Sean O’Brien.

See if the team can stop the fungus outbreak and help Megan tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Supergirl, Cake Wars, Major Crimes, NCIS: LA, Blindspot, Guilty Pleasures, Castle, & Top 5 Restaurants.

Kyle’s Choice

tbbt1119smallOn last week’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon was finally ready to re-enter the dating world and posted an elaborate scavenger hunt on Craigslist to find his new Amy. The clues would test any potential mate’s intelligence and the fact that she had nothing better to do on a Saturday night. Raj and Howard counted down the seconds to the deadline, but it seemed that no one had solved the clues. A couple minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Sheldon answered. The young woman who had solved his riddle seemed absolutely perfect for him, and they had great chemistry. However, Sheldon closed the door on her, saying that she had not completed the task in time. And that was it. Meanwhile, Leonard, Penny, and Bernadette had a stakeout to get a glimpse of Amy’s dinner date. Her date seemed like a great guy. However, once he discovered that Amy knew the famous Doctor Cooper and his colleagues, that’s all he wanted to talk about.

Amy and Sheldon haven’t really spoken much since the breakup, and I’m interested to see how Amy reacts when she learns that Sheldon had planned to propose. I think it’s only a matter of time before Amy and Sheldon get back together, and while I’d really like that to happen, I think it would be a lot of fun to see more of Sheldon trying to date other people.

On tonight’s episode, “The Platonic Permutation,” now just friends, Sheldon and Amy spend Thanksgiving at the aquarium; a reluctant Wolowitz volunteers at a soup kitchen with Bernadette, Raj, and Emily; and Penny realizes that Leonard knows a bit more about her than he’s let on. Elon Musk guest stars.

To see what Leonard knows about Penny, tune in to CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Life in Pieces, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes Reborn, The Blacklist, Bones, Sleepy Hollow, Haven, Spotless, and Nathan for You.

Megan’s Choice

scorpion1116smallWalter has had some difficult challenges on Scorpion, but usually his intelligence helps get him out of trouble. Unfortunately, what his brain can’t do is get him out of an emotional situation. Walter’s sister is dying of MS, and she’s taken a turn for the worst. Sylvester, who is Megan’s boyfriend and in love with her, didn’t tell Walter right away when she got pneumonia because she told him not to, and Walter didn’t take kindly to this. Sylvester pointed out that at the end of the day, it’s all Megan’s choice. Walter believes he can rescue all her brain and personality traits onto a computer so that he can one day upload them into a new body and he’ll have his sister back…which means he wants her kept alive at all costs. Megan isn’t on the same page because she is tired of suffering and doesn’t want to keep being put on machines. Sylvester told Walter that it was Megan’s choice, not his, and Walter didn’t take that well.

The whole episode showed Walter taking unnecessary risks to make enough money to fund the project to save Megan, and the team was almost killed because of it. Someone needs to get Walter under control before his fear of losing his sister ruins the lives of his team as well as himself. I do understand, but you can’t hold on to every loved one forever. Sometimes you need to let go, and no matter how hard it is, everyone should get the choice to decide what happens to them.

On tonight’s episode, “US vs. UN vs. UK,” Team Scorpion is blackmailed to break into the United Nations to assist in the assassination of a menacing arms dealer. Also, Sylvester makes a bold move to protect Megan’s wishes.

To see what move Sylvester makes, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching The Voice, Blindspot, Minority Report, and Gotham.
