nathanforyou2015smallI am really enjoying this latest season of Nathan For You. The series continues to deliver lots of laugh-out-loud moments with each crazy new business scheme. Last week, Nathan helped the owner of a moving company cut down his operating costs by utilizing free labor. Nathan’s plan involved starting a new exercise craze called The Movement, getting people to work for free in the name of fitness. Nathan found a fit spokesmodel who was willing to say that he lost 100 pounds just by moving boxes, and then he hired a ghostwriter to pen a 150-page autobiography about him. The book – which you can actually purchase on Amazon – includes some crazy facts about this man’s past, such as the fact that his childhood friend was Steve Jobs and that he mentored a jungle child. But this ludicrous backstory didn’t stop the morning shows and other news programs from believing in The Movement and interviewing its spokesman on air about his dramatic weight loss and unique workout routine!

I love how ridiculous and strange Nathan’s business plans are and how the show is able to blur reality and fiction such that you never quite know what is real and what is scripted. If you have never seen the show before, you should definitely check it out! Earlier this week, I reviewed (and highly recommended) the upcoming Seasons One & Two DVD, which hits store shelves next Tuesday. My review can be found at NoReruns.net.

On tonight’s episode, “Sporting Goods Store; Antique Shop,” an endorsement deal is sought for a sporting-goods store; an antique shop amends a policy regarding accidents.

See what crazy fun Nathan gets up to tonight on Comedy Central at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes Reborn, The Blacklist, The Player, Bones, and Sleepy Hollow.

theplayer1029smallThe Player has been delivering unbelievable twists and turns from the very beginning, and I am hooked. Last week we watched as Alex raced to save a teenage hacker from the Chinese Triad, who wanted him dead because he tried to reverse a virus that was planted in the Pentagon’s system. Despite a few bumps along the way, Alex managed to save Solomon, and Cassandra helped him strike a deal with the NSA. Solomon returned the favor to Alex by decoding the pictures Alex gave him, and there was a phone number hidden there. Alex called the phone number, and Ginny answered. She’s alive! However, it was very apparent she was being held against her will, and when Alex called the number back, it was disconnected. I’m not sure where this is going to go, but I do know that Alex will move heaven and earth to rescue his wife.

On tonight’s episode, “The Norseman,” the House bets on whether Alex can stop a serial killer by Halloween; Detective Brown pursues Cassandra.

Find out if Alex can save the day before the clock runs out tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Grey’s Anatomy, Chopped, Bones, Sleepy Hollow, The Blacklist, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder.

brooklyn991025smallCaptain Holt is back on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I mean, he was never GONE, but he’s back in charge at the 99. Throughout the episode, the Volture made a rule that the 99 only solved misdemeanors so their solve rate was as high as possible. So when Jake—who kept trying to break the Volture’s rule—came across a new case that he thought was the work of a previous killer, the Oolong Slayer, he connected with Captain Holt and together, they found the killer. Jake told the powers that be that Holt had solved it, and Holt got his job back at the 99. Woohoo!

The other funny story was Terry getting addicted to Boyle’s cacao nibs. Every time he’d solve a case, he’d eat one, but it quickly spiraled out of control and he ballooned up in weight. It was quite amusing to see his addiction. I especially loved his speech about giving up the habit, only to see a bunch of the nibs falling out of his bag. LOL

On tonight’s episode, “Halloween III,” the third installment of Captain Holt and Jake’s Halloween heist culminates with a tie-breaking competition to claim the title of “amazing detective slash genius.” This year, Jake and Holt split the squad into two teams to help them win.

See who wins tonight on FOX at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Great British Baking Show, Guy’s Grocery Games, Halloween Wars, CSI: Cyber, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

bones1022smallLast week’s Bones had some great moments. Booth and Brennan both returned to work, and Booth realized Aubrey had taken over his office. He was temporarily relegated to a desk out in the bullpen, and he wasn’t very happy about it, especially when he was having to clean out trash. In the end, Aubrey surprised him by giving him the office back…but only because he was moving upstairs to an even better office. LOL As for Brennan, she settled right back into things without a problem. The case of the week was kind of a mixed bag of emotions. A man was killed, and then his organs were harvested. It revealed a whole black-market organ-donation-recipient organization. So while they had to take the people down, it meant that a lot of people who would have gotten a needed organ would die before they legally received one. So definitely sad in a way.

I’m greatly looking forward to tonight because the great Betty White guest stars as a fellow forensic anthropologist. I can’t wait!

On tonight’s episode, “The Carpals in the Coy-Wolves,” Brennan enlists the help of a fellow forensic anthropologist in the investigation into the death of a real-estate agent whose remains appear to have been destroyed by coyote-wolf hybrids. FOX NFL game analyst, five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Ronde Barber also guest-stars.

See if Brennan feels the need to compete with her colleague tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped, Man vs Child: Chef Showdown, Beat Bobby Flay, Late Nite Chef Fight, & The Player.

bobsburgers1018smallTonight’s annual Halloween-themed episode of Bob’s Burgers airs at a special later time, and this one may be my favorite one of these episodes yet! The Belchers are such an entertaining TV family – while what they say is often ridiculous, they still feel like very real characters, and this is very much due to the amazing chemistry between the voice actors. And the writing is so witty and hilarious that I always have a smile throughout each episode. While I love all of the characters, Gene is definitely my favorite, and he is on fire in tonight’s episode. Well, not literally – though I wouldn’t put it past these writers – but he does have so many great one-liners! And to top it all off, at the end of tonight’s episode Boyz 4 Now makes a return appearance for a delightfully cheesy music video.

Bob’s Burgers is always a highlight of my Sunday night TV viewing, but after tonight, the show will be off the air for a few weeks, when it returns with a Thanksgiving episode (already?!). While the series is currently only in its fifth season, it has already been picked up through its eighth season! So I look forward to plenty more fun Belcher family adventures to come…and to seeing how they top tonight’s hilarious Halloween episode next year!

On tonight’s episode, “Hauntening,” as the Belchers ready for Halloween, Louise reveals that she’s never been scared by anything, so the family pays a visit to a spooky haunted house, where things start going bump in the night.

See if the haunted house scares Louise tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, Once Upon a Time, Quantico, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Last Man on Earth, The Walking Dead, Talking Dead, The Leftovers, Project Greenlight, Homeland, and Robot Chicken.
