I’m super excited about tonight’s premiere of Tournament of Champions on Food Network. Sixteen of the nation’s most celebrated chefs face off in a five-episode tournament where their skills will be pushed to the limited as they go head-to-head in a single elimination bracket-style competition, where a randomizer machine determines the protein, produce, equipment, cooking style, and time for each cook-off. Can you imagine? It’ll really take it down to the skills of each chef, rather than give them a leg up if they got to choose whatever it takes to show off their best assets.

It’s hosted by Guy Fieri and features some of my favorite chefs from not only Food Network but also shows like Top Chef. Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli (my top pick to win), Antonio Lofaso, Brooke Williamson, Richard Blaiz, Jet Tila, Michael Voltaggio, and Amanda Freitag are my favorites, but there are a bunch more who I love and are great chefs. Don’t miss it tonight to see who will be competing!

On tonight’s 90-minute series premiere, “The Tournament Begins,” Guy greets 16 of the best chefs in the world to the most intense culinary competition ever.

Catch this new fun show from the beginning tonight on Food Network at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Guy’s Grocery Games, SEAL Team, 68 Whiskey, Chicago PD, S.W.A.T., & Stumptown.

Tonight, immediately following the Super Bowl, FOX kicks off the third season of The Masked Singer. This season of the whosungit compeition series is the biggest yet, with 18 celebrities donning costumes and taking the stage to show off their pipes while the judges and viewers try to guess who is under those masks. Since there are so many competitors this season, they’ve been split into three groups. Tonight, the six members of Group A take the stage – White Tiger, Turtle, Miss Monster, Llama, Robot, and Kangaroo – and one of them will be unmasked. Later this week, during the show’s regular Wednesday night time slot, the remaining members of Group A will return to battle it out.

I checked out tonight’s premiere – though they bleeped and blurred out the identity of the unmasked singer, so I’m really looking forward to seeing who it is! There’s a good mix of obviously seasoned singers as well as first-timers and lots of clues to help viewers try to identify who is under those elaborate costumes. Nick Cannon returns as host, along with the judging panel of Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, and Robin Thicke. For tonight’s episode, special guest Jamie Foxx joins the panel. In the coming weeks, we’ll meet the rest of the contestants – Group B: Banana, Elephant, Frog, Mouse, Taco, & Kitty, and Group C: T Rex, Astronaut, Swan, Bear, Night Angel, & Rhino.

It’s still very much the same familiar show this season. Though one new thing I noticed is that instead of just displaying photos of the judges’ guesses on the screen, they are superimposing the celebrity head over the masked contestant’s body for a fun visual. I look forward to seeing the new season play out and learning who these celebrities are!

I’ll also be watching/recording Doctor Who, The EE British Academy Film Awards 2020, Worst Cooks in America, The Outsider, Avenue 5, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Two of my favorite actors to watch on TV are Jason Biggs (American Pie movie franchise) and Maggie Lawson (Psych), and tonight they’re starring in the new FOX comedy Outmatched. The premise is really fun: Two ordinary, blue-collar, working-class parents are raising four children…three of whom are geniuses. It’s a hard life trying to nurture their children’s amazing minds while not able to keep up with or understand them. They’re determined to give all of their kids as normal a childhood as possible, but for the three big-brained kiddos, that’s more difficult than either parent anticipates.

The show also stars Tisha Campbell (Dr. Ken, My Wife and Kids), Jack Stanton (The Mick), Connor Kalopsis (The Grinder), Ashley Boettcher (Lost in Oz), and Oakley Bull (Beautiful Boy).

I’ve seen tonight’s premiere, and it’s a lot of fun. Biggs and Lawson play off each other well, and you can see their love for their kids, even though most of the time they’re scared spitless of them as well. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Kay and Mike cope with raising three high-IQ children.

Don’t miss tonight’s premiere on FOX at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching Last Man Standing, Deputy, Will & Grace, Perfect Harmony, & Beat Bobby Flay.

Tonight, The Good Place returns to NBC to kick off its final run of episodes. Before the break, Michael and the crew had uncovered the flawed point system that was sending nearly every human to the Bad Place and presented this information to the judge. They were given the chance to perform a new experiment in order to prove that humans could learn to be good but ended up just barely failing the test. The judge then decided that best thing to do was to just reset the Earth completely and let the humans evolve all over again for billions of years (though she would miss Timothy Olyphant and Justified). Before she could press her clicker to reset the Earth, all of the Janets appeared and stole it, playing keepaway and hiding it from the judge. So the judge started going through the Janets one-by-one, marblizing them while looking for her clicker. They now had only about 30 minutes until all the Janets and then Earth itself would be gone. So Michael woke up Chidi and restored the memories from every one of his hundreds of iterations, hoping that this would help him come up with a solution.

Will Chidi and the others be able to save humanity by finding a new way to properly evaluate people in the afterlife that will also be acceptable to the demon Shawn? Or will the judge wipe out all Earthly existence as we know it? The Good Place is such a fun, smart show, and I’m going to miss it when it’s gone. I can’t wait to see how these final episodes play out and how this amazing series ultimately comes to a close.

On tonight’s winter premiere, “You’ve Changed, Man,” the group works to negotiate an afterlife plan with Shawn and the judge.

See how the group’s plan goes tonight on NBC at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Carol’s Second Act, Evil, Superstore, Will & Grace, and Perfect Harmony.

Tonight, NBC is giving viewers an early look at the new series Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, which won’t premiere in its regular Sunday timeslot until February 16. Zoey Clarke (Jane Levy, Suburgatory) works as a computer programmer at a small San Francisco tech company. Her boss, Joan (Lauren Graham, Gilmore Girls, Parenthood), is trying to decide who to promote to team lead, and while Zoey is great at her job, she’s not as vocal and take-charge as she should be. Her co-worker/best friend Max (Skylar Astin, Pitch Perfect) is very supportive of her and may even harbor feelings for Zoey. Zoey lives in apartment by herself, across the hall from rambunctious neighbor Mo (Alex Newell, Glee), who often wakes her up with her singing. Zoey also spends a lot of time back home with her parents, Maggie (Mary Steenburgen, The Last Man on Earth) and Mitch (Peter Gallagher, The O.C., Grace and Frankie). About a year earlier, her father was diagnosed with a rare and unusual disease that has been taking away his ability to move, talk, and soon eat. It is devastating for Zoey and her family to watch this once vibrant and lively man just sitting their silently and deteriorating like this, but they are determined to help him enjoy his remaining days.

As the series begins, Zoey wakes up one seemingly normal morning to discover that she can hear other people’s innermost thoughts and desires, which they express through music – belting out pop songs while performing elaborate dance numbers, pouring out their deepest feelings and issues to her. Baffled by the situation, Zoey starts to use this information to help these people in need. However, in the process she also learns some interesting things about her co-workers. Are these new “powers” a curse or a blessing?

I really enjoyed tonight’s premiere – it reminded me of Kevin Probably Saves the World meets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The series has a great mix of humor and heart, and I found the impromptu singing and dancing to be a lot of fun – plus the songs are ones that most people will already be familiar with. That said, Zoey isn’t really knowledgeable about pop music, so it takes her a few bars of the lyrics in order to figure out what exactly people are trying to tell her, but most viewers will probably catch on as soon as the music starts. The series has an amazing cast, filled with actors with strong musical TV, theater, and movie backgrounds, so you know the song and dance performances are going to be great!

On tonight’s series preview, “Pilot,” Zoey, an introverted computer programmer living in San Francisco, begins to hear the innermost desires of the people around her through song.
Meet Zoey and see her power develop tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be recording Schitt’s Creek, FBI: Most Wanted, Emergence, The Resident, Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time, mixed-ish, and black-ish.
