If We Controlled Your Remote… 8/4/13

Posted on August 4, 2013 by and

It’s Sunday, and I’m planning on enjoying what’s left of the weekend. That includes some great TV tonight. Megan’s busy with some family stuff, and JJ needed to get caught up on TV, so it’s just Kyle & me here to tell you our recommendations. Enjoy! 😉

Jenny’s Choice #1

unforgettable84smallLast week’s premiere of Unforgettable was really great. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed Carrie & Al until I started watching. It did have a slightly different feel to it because of the cast changes, but I didn’t feel like the show was necessarily missing too much. They brought in the new cast in the Major Crimes squad—which was really decked out in a pretty awesome way, I have to say. It took me a bit, but by the end of the episode, I really liked their new boss. His voice and the way he speaks is hard to get used to, but I really like the character. Some of the new co-workers, I’m not sure about yet, but others, I already like. Plus, the ME is there, which is fantastic. So overall, I’m excited to have it back. I hope we get to see more about Carrie & Al’s current personal relationship. Are they dating again? Still just…friends but both would be good with more? The case last week was great, too—my husband totally called it with the hostage negotiator being behind the current kidnapping case.

On tonight’s episode, “Incognito,” Carrie goes undercover with a team of bank robbers when the Major Crimes squad gets a lead on the gang’s leader, a notorious thief who rarely shows his face. Sendhil Ramamurthy (Covert Affairs, Heroes) guest stars.

Find out how Carrie going undercover with bank robbers works tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 6/9/13

Posted on June 9, 2013 by , , and

I’m so glad it’s Sunday, because that means a new week of great TV (with even more premieres this week!). Then again, being Sunday means it’s also halfway through the weekend… It’s quite the dichotomy! I both love it and hate it. As for TV, there’s some fun stuff on tonight, so to see what we’re recommending tonight, keep reading. 😉

hgtvstarsmallTonight is the season premiere of HGTV Star (fka HGTV Design Star). I love this show because I’m a big fan of design shows and the challenges they put the contestants through can be almost brutal. I love David Bromstad, who was the Season 1 winner, as the host. He knows what the contestants are going through, and he’s just a nice, fun guy. Vern Yip and Genevieve Gorder are great as judges, and this season, Sabrina Soto joins them on the judging panel. I really enjoy her as well, so I’m looking forward to the new season.

On tonight’s episode, “A Brand New Season,” ten gifted contenders will compete for their own show on HGTV. Host and mentor David Bromstad gives the designers their first challenge: to create a vignette, or section of a room, that represents their personal style or brand. To make their space really distinctive, each designer will have the opportunity to create their own original fabric and wallpaper. The challenge winner will have an item from his or her space adapted for sale on the popular website One King’s Lane. Stress levels are high as the designers race against time to showcase their POVs and prove that they deserve to be the next HGTV Star.

Check out the new designers and see who you’re going to root for tonight on HGTV at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Food Network Star.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 6/17/12

Posted on June 17, 2012 by , and

Today is a day to honor and spoil all the men in our lives for being good fathers. A dad is so much more than just DNA. It’s the love and devotion to making a child’s life a better place to be. It’s all many moments that a man puts into being a role model. So today, whether you are a biological father, a step-dad, an uncle, a godfather, or anything else, just remember that you make a difference in someone’s life just by being you. Now that the mushy stuff is out of the way, let’s see what awesome television is on for you to watch tonight.

Megan’s Choice

True Blood is one of my most delicious addictions, and last week’s premiere just got me even more hooked. I can’t say that I was surprised that Tara ended up coming back as a vampire, but I can say that Sookie was incredibly stupid to stand over the grave waiting for a hungry new vampire to rise for the first time. How creepy was Reverend Steve as a vamp? Not just a vamp, but a homosexual vamp…Insane. I loved Jason’s response of “This dog don’t bark that way.” Classic. Overall, I was impressed with the premiere, and I am looking forward to seeing where this season is going to take us. Whereever it is, I’m sure it’s going to be devious and shocking.

On tonight’s episode, “Authority Always Wins,” Bill and Eric meet Salome at the Vampire Authority headquarters; Pam recalls her human life and first encounter with Eric; Sookie gets a home-protection system; Arlene investigates Terry’s erratic behavior; Steve Newlin makes Jessica an offer.

To watch as things heat up with the vampire community, tune in to HBO at 9/8c. Learn where to find episodes online of True Blood @ Clicker.

Tonight, I’ll also be watching/DVRing Drop Dead Diva and The Glades.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 8/7/11

Posted on August 7, 2011 by , and

It’s the start of another great week in television, and while last week was awesome, it did have its down points. One of those down points was the series premiere of Take the Money and Run. I’m really hoping that this week’s episode redeems it, but… most likely not. We don’t have to worry about that tonight, though, because tonight is filled with fantastic new episodes and an anticipated season finale. Look below, and we’ll help you plan your night. 🙂

Megan’s Choice

This season of True Blood has been exciting and messed up. Exciting because the storylines are moving quickly, and of course, because of the relationships that are evolving. 😉 It’s been messed up because the witches are freaky, the evil baby is disturbing, and the whole Tommy is a skin walker thing is just creepy. What do we expect? It’s True Blood, after all. 😀

On tonight’s episode, Marnie’s powers from beyond force Bill to take evasive, though unpopular, action to save vampires. Luna learns something new about Sam. Andy has a date with Holly. Jessica contemplates her future with Hoyt. Alcide and Debbie run with a different crowd.

Tune in to HBO at 9/8c to watch the insanity ensue. Learn where to find episodes online of True Blood @ Clicker.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 7/31/11

Posted on July 31, 2011 by , and

It’s the beginning of another new week of television, and the summer season is showing no signs of slowing down. That’s how this summer has been as a whole, though, isn’t it? I feel like we’ve been stuck at full throttle the whole summer, and it’s just flying by. At least tonight, we can sit back and take some time to enjoy a few hours of delicious television.

Every week, I find myself glued to my television screen, mesmerized by what is happening on True Blood. Shapeshifters, vampires, and witches … oh my! Last week’s crazy episode brought us a lot of strange, yet oddly intriguing stories. Tommy killed his parents, becoming a skinwalker. Eric had a bad dream and ended up cuddling up to Sookie. Bill knows that Sookie has been hiding Eric, and he’s on his way. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I know that Bill is going to be really angry. Aww, poor Bill… NOT! I’m going to be so happy when we finally get the shower scene between Eric and Sookie that was promised by Alan Ball.

On tonight’s episode, Sookie hunts for Jason under a full moon. Arlene and Terry wonder about the cause of a strange fire. Debbie pressures Alcide to relocate. Lafayette has a spiritual experience in Mexico, and Eric gives in to a highter authority.

Tune in to HBO at 9/8c and enjoy the naughty ride. Learn where to find episodes online of True Blood @ Clicker.
