chicagofire1013smallTonight is the season premiere of Chicago Fire, and after the cliffhanger of last season, we’re going to hit the ground running. Last season, Casey was undercover after Voight (from Chicago PD) and his team came to ask for his help in getting an inside track to the club owner that Casey had been working for, since they suspected him of being involved in human trafficking. But when we left off, a pregnant Dawson went to Casey’s house to tell him, only to find Nadia there, dead, and Casey missing. Obviously Dawson being pregnant will affect her ability to be a firefighter. The only solution I can see is that she becomes a paramedic again. I don’t know how long she’d be able to work at that in real life. On the show? Who knows. I’ve seen tonight’s premiere, so I know how and when they rescue Casey (cause you KNOW they’re going to), and I can tell you there’s a lot of surprises in store for him and the rest of the firehouse.

On tonight’s episode, “Let It Burn,” during an undercover operation, Lt. Casey lands in very dangerous territory; Dawson’s suspicions are confirmed; a new candidate (Steven R. McQueen, The Vampire Diaries) makes an unusual first impression; a protest hinders firefighters who are trying to battle a blaze.

Meet the new candidate tonight and see Casey’s rescue tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Grandfathered, MasterChef Canada, NCIS, Married at First Sight: The First Year, NCIS: NOLA, Chopped, & Limitless.

undateable2015smallLast season, Undateable did a special live episode, which must have done pretty well, as that the series was renewed for an all-live third season, which premieres tonight. The last time a TV show tried to do this was back in 1992, when the Fox comedy Roc went live for its second season. I like the unpredictable nature of live TV, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the show changes with this new format. And I’ll be anxiously watching for flubbed lines and misbehaving props.

For last year’s one-off special, they pulled in a lot of familiar faces from series creator Bill Lawrence’s previous programs. However, with a full season of episodes ahead, I don’t think they can rely on that kind of all-in-one-episode kind of stunt casting every week. Though, I’m sure we can expect to see some fun guest stars throughout the season.

On tonight’s double-length premiere, “A Will They Walks Into a Bar/A Won’t They Walks Into a Bar,” Danny interferes as Justin and Candace plan on taking things to the next level. Also: Burski surprises the gang with an announcement; and Leslie sets out to reinvent her look. Danny continues to interfere when Justin and Candace consider taking things to the next level. Meanwhile, the gang reacts to Burski’s surprise announcement, and Leslie tries to reinvent her look.

See the premiere of the all-live season tonight on NBC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Amazing Race, Dr. Ken, Z Nation, and Continuum.

criminalminds107smallLast week was the premiere of Criminal Minds, and I was so glad to see it back. I missed JJ, who is out on maternity leave with a beautiful little baby boy, but it was fun meeting Aisha Tyler’s character, Dr. Tara Lewis, who was applying for a position with the BAU. The team had to track down a serial killer who they figured out pretty quickly was actually a contract killer who was going back and killing the people who’d hired him because one of them – he didn’t know which one – had tried to kill him. He’d been shot in the face, which meant he couldn’t speak or eat, so he had to inject a liquid nutrition into a port in his stomach…and he was using that liquid diet injected under the skin to make his victims helpless before he killed them. It was pretty gruesome. Tara Lewis happened to be in the right place at the right time and got on the phone with the killer’s next victim – the cop husband of a woman who’d hired him – to pretend to be his wife in order to let him know they knew the killer was with him and they were going to stop him before he could kill him. It was that performance that sealed the deal for Hotch, especially after Garcia almost begged him to hire her.

I was also glad to see some cute interaction between Morgan and Garcia. Not really lovey-dovey, but sweet and cute, and when he kissed her on her cheek and she said that never gets old, it was adorable.

On tonight’s episode, “The Witness,” when a Los Angeles bus is attacked with sarin gas, the BAU must act quickly to find the suspect before a larger-scale incident occurs. Guest stars include Marisol Nichols (NCIS, 24) as FBI Agent Natalie Colfax, who assists the BAU with the investigation, and Tim Kang (The Mentalist) as Charlie Senerak, a medical supply worker.

See how the team catches the suspect tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Mysteries of Laura, Rosewood, Steampunk’d, The Goldbergs, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, Property Brothers, Worst Cooks in America, black-ish, Chicago PD, Code Black, & Mystery Diners.

scorpion105smallScorpion is a show that you kind of have to watch while knowing that it could be a little ridiculous – like on the season premiere with the weather balloon – but I love it. It’s a fun show, and as long as you don’t expect complete realism, you can enjoy it like I do. Last week, the team traveled to Cuba when a young woman from Cade’s past came to him for help in locating the war criminal who killed her parents when she was a little girl. It was an off-the-books mission, even though secretly, Molina helped them by setting them up with contacts and a plane to and from Cuba. The team barely made it back when the bad guy escaped right before they met the plane to go home, but they were able to grab him and get him on it before the Cuban police showed up. My favorite parts were how they went in to the barbershop get him and how they got Happy through the bank’s roof to get into the bad guy’s safety deposit box.

I’m really liking Alana De La Garza as the new head of Homeland Security, Adriana Molina. So far she’s worked well with the team. I hope she continues that way, rather than turning into a jerk like the former one did.

On tonight’s episode, “Fish Filet,” in order to save the lives of three judges, Sylvester goes undercover in a federal prison, but Team Scorpion must break him out when his life is threatened. Alana De La Garza and Kevin Weisman guest star.

See how the team gets Sylvester out tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Big Bang Theory, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Life in Pieces, Halloween Baking Championship, Minority Report, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, NCIS: LA, & Blindspot.

thegoodwife104smallI’m excited for the return of The Good Wife tonight. When we left off last season, Kalinda met with Lester, Lemond Bishop’s lawyer, and threatened to release information she had on him if he didn’t leave Alicia and the others alone. Meanwhile, Peter got word that the Democratic National Committee wanted him to run for president in order, with the ultimate goal of him becoming the top contender for VP. This news excited Zach and Eli, but Alicia and Grace weren’t too thrilled. And elsewhere, when Diane, Cary, and David Lee discovered that Louis Canning’s wife was working at their firm under her maiden name, they immediately fired her. Louis then stormed into their office threatening to burn their practice to the ground. The season ended with Louis at Alicia’s door, asking her if she wanted to partner with him.

Will Alicia take Louis up on his offer? Will he really try to destroy the firm that fired his wife? How will this season play out now that Alicia is on her own? Will we see her going up against her former partners in cases, or will she once again try to join them? And what about Peter’s political aspirations? Will they finally cause Alicia and Peter to publicly dissolve their relationship?

On tonight’s episode, “Bond,” Alicia attempts to revive her struggling law career by representing arrestees seeking release on bail in bond court. There, she meets attorney Lucca Quinn, who competes for her clients. Meanwhile, Peter brings in a national strategist to help with his presidential campaign, which creates an interesting dynamic with Eli in the process.

Check out the season premiere tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, Once Upon a Time, Blood & Oil, Quantico, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth, The Strain, Fear the Walking Dead, The Leftovers, Project Greenlight, Homeland, and The Affair.
