rizzoliisles91smallBecause of my hospital stay in July, I got WAY backed up on TV. I’ve finally cleared 90% of it off, just in time for the new stuff to start. One of the things I was backed up on was Rizzoli & Isles, and I’m so glad I caught up in time for tonight’s summer finale. There’s been some fantastic stories this season. The most notable came the last couple of weeks, with the introduction of the fire at Jane’s apartment, which then led to Jane’s problem last week with her credit cards all being canceled…which in turn led them to realize someone has been stalking Jane and deliberately set fire to her apartment. Eek! There were a lot of great moments last week, though: the hippie guy at the beach who gave Jane the paper flower; Jane freaking out about the crowd and their cell phones when they arrested the bad guy; Korsak and Angela’s double date and subsequent explanation of how their s.o.’s know each other; the LA medical examiner, who was even stranger and nerdier than Maura can be.

After tonight’s summer finale, we’ll have the last six episodes of season 6 coming up sometime during the winter. Then next summer will be the final, shortened season for the show, which makes me sad. I am happy that the writers had a heads-up and can write a proper series finale. Thankfully, we have plenty of show to go before that day!

On tonight’s episode, “5:26,” when an old watch is found inside a balloon of cocaine in a dead woman’s stomach, figuring out its significance becomes the key to protecting Jane — and the people she loves.

See who’s after Jane and if they can catch him/her before it’s too late tonight on TNT at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped, Playing House, & Hollywood Game Night.

clipped818smallTonight, the first season of Clipped comes to an end on TBS. Last week, the gang’s former math teacher came to the shop, which upset Ben, who still held a grudge for how Mr. Painter had embarrassed him when he split his pants during class. However, at the funeral, Ben split his pants again while trying to gloat to the dead body. Meanwhile, Joy was looking for a sign as to whether or not she should try to fix her marriage. Mo was hopeful this meant he finally had a chance with her, but when Joy discovered she was pregnant, she decided it meant she should try to fix her marriage. However, after some reflection, she ultimately decided the pregnancy was a sign to end her marriage, which she did, but Mo was too scared to make his move.

When this series first started, I was afraid the Boston accents were going to grate on me, but I’ve really enjoyed this first season (save for the four sisters who live in the apartment across the street). How will this first season come to a close? Will Mo finally make his move and tell Joy how he feels about her? And what does the future hold for the rest of the gang? Will tonight’s season finale end in some kind of cliffhanger, and will the show be back for a second season?

On tonight’s episode, “Reunion,” the gang revisit their adolescence at a high school reunion. Elsewhere, Joy is stuck at the barbershop with Lonnie as he waits for his date.

See how the reunion goes tonight on TBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Zoo, Hollywood Game Night, Playing House, Face Off, Scream, and Another Period.

playinghouse811smallI had forgotten how much I had missed USA Network’s comedy, Playing House, until I watched last week’s season premiere. The second season picked up about 4 months after the first. Emma and “Bird Bones” finally made their peace, so Mark no longer had to visit Emma and baby Charlotte in secret. After Maggie admitted to having a sex dream with the “Property Brothers” (which was hilarious to watch), Emma decided she was ready to get back into the dating world and set her up with a Tinder profile. After some disastrous rapid-fire dates, Maggie finally met nice guy Dan (Kyle Bornheimer), and the two really hit it off.

Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair have such great chemistry together, and the longtime friendship between these actresses really shows in the series. It’s tough to tell what is ad-libbed and what is scripted because all of the fun dialogue and banter feels so natural. This show always keep me smiling from start to finish — it’s a shame that the season is just 8 episodes long!

USA Network is making the following week’s episode available On Demand after each new episode airs, so you can already find tonight’s episode there if you want to watch it early. I couldn’t wait! 🙂

On tonight’s episode, “Cashmere Burka,” Maggie agrees to direct a play written by Gwen; and Emma gets hot and heavy with a new flame.

To see how Emma and her new guy hit it off, tune in to USA Network at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Zoo, Hollywood Game Night, Tyrant, Clipped, Face Off, Scream, and Another Period.

ncisnola55smallLast week’s NCIS: NOLA was a shocker. Lasalle’s brother called him late one night, and when Lasalle and his girlfriend, Savannah, showed up to meet Cade, they discovered the body of Cade’s girlfriend in his trunk. He swore he didn’t do it, that he’d been set up, and eventually the team figured out that he’d indeed been set up and they caught they people responsible. That was sad in and of itself because it seems like Cade’s doing really well — he’s on his meds, going to a therapist, etc. I hope this doesn’t cause him to slip backwards. But the shocker was Baitfish was back…and at the very end of the episode, we saw him confront Savannah…and then there was a gunshot after a fade to black. Based on tonight’s episode description, I can only assume that he shot her and she’s dead. That really sucks because they were cute together and I don’t want Lasalle hurt. Then again, I love the chemistry he and the undercover DEA agent (I think?) have, so I guess this opens up that door.

On tonight’s episode, “How Much Pain Can You Take,” to send a message to Pride, Baitfish murders someone close to the NCIS team, prompting a citywide manhunt for the elusive criminal.

Find out who dies and if Pride and the team can catch Baitfish tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 19 Kids & Counting, Hell’s Kitchen, NCIS, iZombie, Undateable, Chicago Fire, Chopped, & Your Family or Mine.

Jenny’s Choice #1

rizzoliandisles217smallMy first pick tonight is the winter premiere of Rizzoli & Isles. This season has been really rough. The team learned about Frost’s death and Jane was dealing with her pregnancy when she ended up losing the baby during a case gone bad. Meanwhile, Maura’s relationship with her professor boyfriend is really going well, and before the break, she met his 12-year-old daughter, which went well. Jane and the team are still reeling from Frost’s death, and things are up in the air with Angela, who quit her job and broke up with Cavanaugh to start fresh (sounds like a midlife crisis to me, but whatever…). It’ll be interesting to see how the last three episodes of the season go from here. (By the way… Why take a winter break and then have to come back for only three episodes?? Why not just finish airing them with the others??)

On tonight’s episode, “Bridge to Tomorrow,” after Jane jumps from a bridge to save a prosecutor suspected of his murdering his mistress, Maura is terrified that she has lost her best friend. The squad must now renew the search to find the real killer. Meanwhile, Angela enlists Frankie’s help as she applies to new jobs.

See how Jane survives jumping from the bridge tonight on TNT at 9/8c.
