grimm124smallI’m kind of loving Grimm this season. I was so tired of Juliette and the whole story line with her being turned into a Wessen. Nick is harder this season, but I’m kind of digging that – and I love his relationship now with Adalind. We’ll see if she changes personalities again, but as of now, it’s great. On the last new episode, a rich mobster Wessen challenged three other Wesen to compete for his daughter’s heart/hand in marriage. The challenge was they had to kill the man the mobster felt was responsible for his son’s death. The problem was, the men kept getting killed before they could actually kill the guy. It turned out to be the daughter doing the killing, much to her father’s shock. My favorite part was the potential dead man going absolutely crazy when he saw the mobster change from human-looking to his Wessen self. Wu’s reaction throughout the episode dealing with that guy was hysterical, given that he’d been in that position before.

On tonight’s episode, “Rat King,” Nick and Hank are called to the scene when three Wesen go out on a hunt at a local dump and get more than they bargained for when two turn up dead after they encounter the mythical Rat King. Meanwhile, a very badly wounded Trubel (guest star Jacqueline Toboni) is taken to the hospital, and Nick finally meets Meisner (guest star Damien Puckler).

Find out if Trubel survives tonight on NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, MasterChef: Junior, Undateable, Unforgettable, Truth Be Told, & American Diner Revival.

theknick1120smallMy pick of the night is once again The Knick, as it’s one of the few Friday shows I actually make sure I watch on Friday night. Last week, an explosion at the subway line construction site caused a flood of emergency patients at The Knick. Cleary saw this as a money-making opportunity and paid off the other ambulance drivers a fraction of their fee in cash in exchange for the money owed to them by the hospital. However, his industrious plan backfired when the president of The Knick declared that no money would be made off the devastating accident. Meanwhile, Thackary performed open brain surgery on his addict patient, trying to cure him of his addictions, but ended up leaving the man a vegetable. Barrow finally paid off his debt to Ping Wu but made plans to “free” one of Ping Wu’s girls and set her up in a new apartment. Lucy was inspired by something one of the prostitutes said to her and used this to manipulate a new man she was interested in. Bertie was denied permission to research a cancer treatment that might help his mother, but his day got better when he brought Genevieve home for a family dinner, and they all fell in love with her. And Harriet quickly became a pariah at the boardinghouse, with the nuns promising punishment to anyone who even spoke to her.

I just thoroughly enjoy this show each week. There’s so many different storylines going on, but they are all interesting. With Doctor Thackary, we also get a bit of a MacGyver thing going on each week – like last week when we saw him make a makeshift metal detector out of a lamp in order to locate shrapnel in a victim’s body. And it’s always amazing to see these barbaric medical procedures that were considered to be at the forefront of medicine at the time. The show is also delving into some dark, controversial topics like eugenics, with Dr. Gallinger getting the proprietor of the “Idiot House” to steralize all the boys so they couldn’t produce more morons.

Last week, we saw just how bad off Bertie’s mother is. Will Bertie and/or Genevieve be able to convince someone at Mt. Sinai to let him research a cure? What crazy (and gory) medical procedure will we see Thackary perform next? I can’t wait to find out…and see what’s going to happen with the rest of the characters!

On tonight’s episode, “There are Rules,” Bertie is faced with a quandary at Mt. Sinai, which leads to him take matters into his own hands and enlist help from Algernon; Thackery considers using hypnosis, while taking an interest in conjoined twins. Later, Lucy lobbies Henry for an invite to a gala; Cornelia visits the brother of a deceased immigrant who had ties to Speight; Gallinger has an unwelcome dinner guest; Barrow checks out a new home for Junia; and Harriet agrees to make some changes.

Check out the medical fun tonight on Cinemax at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Amazing Race, Undateable, Truth Be Told, Grimm, MasterChef: Junior, and Z Nation.

bluebloods1113smallWeek after week, the Regan family on Blue Bloods show us what real family bonds look like and they help keep New York safe at the same time. Last week, we saw as the DA put Erin on the case of the cops being arrested for tampering with records. Eddie got arrested for making a parking violation disappear. Erin didn’t want the case, and Frank definitely didn’t want her working it, but she needed to prove to the entire office that she doesn’t take sides, even for her father. In the end, Erin worked things out, and hopefully from now on, the police and the District Attorney’s office will work in unison. I don’t blame the family for being upset about Erin being on the case, but at the same time I understand that she didn’t have a choice. I’m glad it all looks like it’s going to work out for the best.

On tonight’s episode, “Unsung Heroes,” when Danny and his family are threatened by Thomas Wilder, a serial killer Danny has been unable to apprehend, Linda’s concern intensifies over her husband’s job as well as the state of their marriage. Also, Jamie challenges his superior officer, Sgt. William Mulvey, during a hostage situation.

To see if Linda and Danny can work this problem out, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Amazing Race, Hawaii Five-0, Grimm, and MasterChef: Junior.

hawaiifiveo116smallThere were a lot of fun moments on last week’s Hawaii Five-0. First off… Jerry as a vampire going to the blood bank to donate blood? Hysterical. The fact that armed thieves then broke in to that same blood bank and steal blood? Ahh, vampires… LOL Danny had to get Grace from an unsupervised party…where she was looking awfully grown up! I loved him practicing what he was going to say to her. And I swooned when he walked through the hospital with Charlie – who looked adorable in a cowboy costume – giving out candy instead of getting it. The case started with an awesome chase through the woods. I wouldn’t have guessed it was pretend, not real. It was fun…until they tripped over the gross body. That led to the discovery of multiple bodies, and what that led to turned out out to be horrifying. A man was killing young women and taking specific body parts to create his own perfect woman. It was a modern-day Frankenstein. Chilling.

On tonight’s episode, “Na Kama Hele (Day Trippers),” McGarrett’s first date with Lynn (Sarah Carter) on a deserted island turns deadly when a mob boss hiding there hunts them down in order to keep his location a secret. Also, Chin, Kono, and Grover must race against the game clock to locate the father of a high school football star who will be murdered by a local gambler if his son doesn’t throw the big game.

See if the team can rescue the father and how McGarrett’s date ends up tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, MasterChef: Junior, Undateable, Truth Be Told, Grimm, Blue Bloods, & BBQ Blitz.

grimm1030smallTonight, Grimm returns to NBC for the start of its fifth season. When we last left off, Nick was shocked to discover his mother’s decapitated head in a box on the floor of his house, and he wanted to get revenge on those responsible. He soon realized that Juliette had been working with the Royals to set up his mother, and his main focus became hunting them down. When he eventually ended up face-to-face with Juliette, he immediately grabbed her neck and started to choke her, but he couldn’t bring himself to kill her. Juliette sensed his weakness and went after him, but Trubel stepped in, shooting her dead with a crossbow. As Nick mourned the loss of his love, Agent Chavez showed up outside, telling her people to “get her.”

Is Agent Chavez there for Trubel or Juliette, and what does she want with her? Does Chavez realize that Nick is also a Grimm, and what would she do if she did know? Is Juliette really dead (I’m assuming so, but you never know on a show like this)? And if so, how is that going to affect Nick this season? And how is Nick going to feel about Trubel now that she shot and killed his love (or at least the thing that looked like her). And finally, what about Adalind, who’s carrying Nick’s child? What can we expect of this half-Wessen/half-Grimm child?!

It should be an interesting and exciting season (though I will miss Juliette) – and with Halloween just one day away, it’s the perfect night for this premiere!

On tonight’s episode, “The Grimm Identity,” Nick’s life in total chaos following the beheading of his mother and the death of Juliette. In the wake of such loss, he struggles with how to move forward and what to do about Adalind, who’s pregnant with his child. At the same time, his search for truth leads him to FBI Agent Chavez and puts him at odds with those close to him.

To see how Nick deals with everything, tune in to NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Amazing Race, Undateable, Truth Be Told, Z Nation, and The Knick.
