lucifer28smallI was quite skeptical when I first heard about the new show Lucifer, but after watching the first two episodes, I can say that I am pleasantly surprised. There are many reasons why this show works for me, including the incredible sexy leading man and the fact that it’s a procedural with a twist, but at the end of the day it’s simply an entertaining new show to spice up my regular television landscape.

On the last episode, Lucifer showed that while he has no issue with people sinning, he takes great offense to people using God’s word and hell to scare people into donating money, which is why he scared the crap out of a guy doing just that on the street. I admit I giggled, because there’s nothing worse than a hypocrite. Chloe has been working on trying to figure out who Lucifer really is and why he didn’t exist up until 5 years ago – the idea that he really is THE Lucifer is just too far-fetched for her, I suppose. The case of the week involved a paparazzo who was accused of murder and confessed, but Chloe didn’t believe he did it, and neither did Lucifer. This sent them on a wild-goose chase to find the actual killer, which they did in the end. Although Chloe had to step in to stop Lucifer’s little game of Russian roulette between Nick and his protégé, Josh, who Nick was taking the fall for, where they try to shoot each other, only there were no bullets in Josh’s gun. In the midst of it, Chloe showed up, and Lucifer realized he was wrong and used brother Amenadiel because he knew that his arrival would slow time down just enough for Lucifer to step in and grab the bullet from Nick’s gun midair. Lucifer then realizes that he is in fact changing, and it’s due to someone in his life: Chloe.

I’m really enjoying the building relationship between Lucifer and Chloe, but I’m curious to see how long they can play this Chloe not believing he’s the devil story, because after a while, she’s going to have to figure it out.

On tonight’s episode, “The Would-Be Prince of Darkness,” when a 22-year-old future superstar quarterback wakes up to find a dead girl floating in his swimming pool, he turns to his friend, Lucifer, for help. Lucifer enlists Chloe to investigate the case, which leads to the world of big-money sports and people who will literally kill to be number one.

To see if Chloe can help clear this quarterback’s name, tune in to FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching Scorpion, Supergirl, Superstore, NCIS: LA, and Castle.

grimm129smallLast week, Grimm returned after a short winter break, and boy were there surprises! First, we gotta talk about the kiss. Nick and Adalind have great chemistry in my opinion, and I loved how they reacted to the kiss. They need to take it slow, though, and they seem to realize that. Of course, then there’s Juliette returning as Eve – and damn, she’s creepy when she uses her Wesen power, isn’t she? Creepy but effective. I’m not sure about Meisner. Does he have a “crush” on Adalind? I mean, I’m assuming he’s a good guy, that he’s playing for the good side, like “Eve” is now. But it’s all kinds of confusing. All I know is that Black Claw killed all but one of the Wesen Council and wants to get to Monroe. Poor Nick has his hands full!

On tonight’s episode, “A Reptile Dysfunction,” a local legend comes back to life as Nick and Hank investigate a mysterious sighting linked to a tourist’s death at a local lake. Rosalee’s past comes back to haunt her. Elsewhere, Capt. Renard continues to support a candidate for mayor. Meanwhile, Nick is shown the scope of the Wesen uprising as the secret government agency takes him into the heart of their Portland operations center.

To see more of what Black Claw is up to and what the “good guys” are doing about it, tune in to NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Last Man Standing, American Diner Revival, Guy & Hunter’s European Vacation, & Burgers, Brew, & ’Que.

lucifer21smallLast week, we met the devil on FOX’s new drama, Lucifer. I don’t know about you, but I really enjoyed it. It was a lot funnier than I’d expected. Lucifer himself is hysterical in his…not evilness, but mischievousness, I think is the best way to say it. We saw it first when he bribed the cop when he was caught for speeding, and it lasted the entire episode. One of my favorite parts was when he was talking to police detective Chloe’s daughter, Trixie, and then scared the mean girl. All I could think was how good it would have been to have him around when I was in school. I also loved Lauren German as Chloe. She’s a great foil opposite Lucifer. It’ll be interesting to see their relationship (whatever that may be) develop. Of course, then there’s the issue of Lucifer being asked to return to hell… I’m not really liking Amenadiel or Maze yet. He’s kind of an ass and she’s kind of a…well, I won’t say it. LOL

On tonight’s episode, “Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil,” when a movie star’s son is killed after being chased by the paparazzi, Chloe takes a deep look into the case with a little help from Lucifer. Meanwhile, Maze and Amenadiel continue to encourage Lucifer to go back to hell.

To see how Lucifer can help Chloe solve the case, tune in to FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Kids Baking Championship, Superstore, Cake Wars, Ellen’s Design Challenge, & The Magicians.

greaselivesmallWe’ve had The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, and The Wiz. Now, we get another classic: Grease. Julianne Hough (Dancing with the Stars) and Aaron Tveit (Graceland) star as the iconic Sandy and Danny, with other big names such as Ana Gasteyer, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mario Lopez, and Vanessa Hudgens among others.

What’s interesting about the production tonight is that the cast will be wearing GoPro cameras between scenes to show audiences online the frenetic chaos that goes on as they sprint from set to set and get ready to do the next scene. They WANT the audience to see the production of it, as well as enjoy the musical as they normally would, and that’s definitely something new and different.

Sing along tonight with the songs you remember and hear new ones too on FOX at 7/6c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing American Ninja Warrior, Guy’s Grocery Games, Worst Cooks in America, CSI: Cyber, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

undateable2015smallTonight, Undateable closes out its live season with a special 1-hour finale. I’ve had mixed feelings about this past season. I really like the idea of a live show and the fun/danger that adds – What could go wrong? or Who will mess up their lines or experience some sort of prop malfunction? Most of this cast comes from a stand-up-comedy background, so they are used to performing live, and it shows. They have great chemistry and work really well together, and adding Whitney Cummings into the mix was a great decision. It’s also impressive that they’ve been doing live shows for both the East and West Coasts. The one thing that bugs me about this new live format is how the actors will often break character to make personal jabs at one another to solicit a reaction. While this may be funny, it completely takes me out of the show and makes it feel more like I’m watching actors interact on stage rather than watching characters come to life in a story.

I’m not sure how the show has been doing in the ratings or if it even has a chance of returning for a fourth season. But I’m sure tonight’s double-episode finale will go all out and probably feature a bunch of fun cameos like the season premiere. Plus, this week’s musical guest will be the Backstreet Boys!

Catch the live 1-hour finale tonight on NBC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Grimm, MasterChef: Junior, Second Chance, and Childrens Hospital.
