If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/31/13

I can’t believe it’s already Thursday—this week has been flying by! Although, it’s been a bit of a struggle keeping up with all this week’s boatload of new TV (when did Mondays and Tuesdays become the new Sundays?!). While tonight seems like an unusually lighter Thursday (at least for me), there’s still plenty of stuff to watch. So let’s get on to what we recommend you check out tonight.

Kyle’s Choice #1

donoharm131smallTonight, NBC kicks off its new Jekyll and Hyde series, Do No Harm. Dr. Jason Cole (Steven Pasquale) is a successful neurosurgeon with a secret—he has Dissociative Identity Disorder. At night, his evil alter ego, Ian Price, tries to come out and take over his body. Cole had been managing to use drugs to suppress his alternate identity, but Price is growing immune to their effects. Now Cole must to try to find another way to control Price and to keep the details of his own life a secret so that Price can’t hurt the ones he loves. The series also stars Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show), Alana De La Garza (CSI: Miami), Ruta Gedmintas (The Borgias), and Samm Levine (NCIS).

This show was a surprise hit for me. When I first saw the description for the series, I thought it was just going to be another boring, unoriginal show. However, when I watched the pilot, I immediately hooked and wanted to see more. It’s sort of like Dexter meets House meets mystery drama. I found it to be very creative and loved the tense twists and turns. And I think Steven Pasquale (who will always be “that guy from Recue Me” to me) does an excellent job at playing both roles.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” after five years of peace, Dr. Cole’s sinister alter ego is back with a vengeance.

Don’t miss the premiere tonight on NBC at 10/9c. Learn where to find episodes online of Do No Harm @ Clicker.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 6/28/12

I know, I know. Sorry this is up late. lol I was so tired last night that I couldn’t focus enough to write my part up. Then this morning…well, I had stuff I had to get done before I could sit down with it. But it’s here now, so read on to see what we think you should be watching tonight.

Jenny’s Choice

My pick tonight is Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell. Food Network fans know her from shows like The Next Iron Chef, Worst Cooks in America, and . This time, she’s back in a fun new show as host, helping restaurants find the right chef for them. Here’s the show description from Food Network: “When top restaurants are in need of an executive chef – the critical employee who can make or break a restaurant – they turn to Anne Burrell. Each week Anne puts four candidates through the toughest job interview of their lives, testing everything from their culinary mettle to business acumen. It all ends with the biggest test of all: running the restaurant. Who will make their dinner service the most profitable and delicious, landing their dream job as the restaurant’s new executive chef?”

On tonight’s premiere, “Re-Branding a Restaurant,” host Anne Burrell journeys to Manhattan Beach, California, to assist a Mexican restaurant in locating an executive chef, and the candidates are challenged on their chile knowledge, tested on tacos, and given the opportunity to run a dinner service.

See it tonight on Food Network at 10/9c. Learn where to find episodes online of Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell @ Clicker.

Tonight, I’ll also be watching/recording Rookie Blue, Duets, Men at Work, Take Me Out, Burn Notice, and Saving Hope.
