Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Jenny’s Choice #1

My first pick tonight is the season finale of Home Free. This show on FOX has been a lot of fun. It combines a design-competition show with a feel-good, heartwarming one. Nine couples started the show, thinking they were competing to be the last couple standing to earn their dream home. Each week, all the couples worked together – on teams and down to individual couples last week for the top three – on renovating an old or worn-down or just plain out-of-date home, and Mike Holmes decided which couple to send home. What the contestants didn’t learn until after the other teams had left the site was that the lucky family to get the home they’d just finished renovating was them. So all nine couples will win a house, not just the final, “winning” couple.

This was really fantastic to me, for a lot of reasons. One, each of the couples really needed a new home. Whether they’d hit on hard times, outgrown their old home, or (in the case of the sisters who “lost” last week and wanted a house for their parents so they could be closer to them now that their father has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s) for whatever reason, the new home was needed. But my favorite thing about the show was that they aren’t just giving homes to lucky couples. The couples WORKED for them. They put their blood, sweat, and tears into each of the houses, even down to the final two teams on tonight’s episode. I love it.

On tonight’s season finale, “Dream Holmes,” week after week, each couple followed Mike’s lead and pushed themselves to make the best home possible for a deserving family. Weeks of tools, dry wall, and construction all come down to this moment when the winner is revealed!

See who takes the win and check out the final two houses tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

chicagopd114smallLast week was an exciting week for Chicago PD. Watching the bad guy nearly get the best of them so many times made for a tense episode, but in the end, the good guys won, of course, rescuing the final victim and catching the bad guy. But I gotta say that the personal stuff right now is just as interesting as the cases. Seeing Ruzek at the hospital with Burgess was great. (I swear, that’s the first time I’ve ever felt like I had a crush on him…) I was surprised (but not, because that’s what I’d guessed from the episode description) when Voight offered Erin’s position to Burgess, but I’m wondering what’s going to happen with her. She told him she had to think about it, then lied to Ruzek, and then woke up in the middle of the night to stare blankly into the bathroom mirror… Is she scared of working with Ruzek for fear they’ll end up like Roman and his ex? Scared of working Intelligence? Or just scared to go back on the job completely? Then, of course, we have Erin… This week she’s working with her new task force, but they’re working WITH Intelligence. But how long will that go on? I haven’t heard anything about her leaving the show, but I can’t imagine they’d keep her separate from them for long either, so… However it plays out, I’m VERY excited for tonight’s episode, given the preview I saw.

On tonight’s episode, “We Don’t Work Together Anymore,” Lindsay has her first case with the task force and realizes she needs to call on Voight and the Intelligence unit to assist. Meanwhile, Burgess is back on the job but relegated to desk duty which allows Desk Sgt. Platt the opportunity to partner up with Roman.

To see the teams work together to take down the bad guys, tune in to NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, The Mentalist, The Mysteries of Laura, Modern Family, The Goldbergs, Criminal Minds, Law & Order: SVU, black-ish, Hot in Cleveland, Top Chef, Wahlburgers, Donnie Loves Jenny, & The Exes.
