Ahh, gotta love it when the fall TV season starts up again! Strap in, ladies and gentlemen. It’s going to be a fun ride as we start up the Remotes again on a pretty regular basis. After a slow summer, I can’t wait!

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

My pick tonight is the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars. I haven’t been a regular watcher of this show for years now, because most of the time, I couldn’t care less about the celebrities they have on. But this season, I think it’s going to be fun for a few reasons, at least at the beginning. First, there’s married couple Nick & Vanessa Lachey, who are paired up with married couple Maks Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd. Some of my other favorites are Debbie Gibson (I mean, I was an 80s music girl…) & Alan Bersten, Drew Scott (I love Property Brothers & their other shows!) & Emma Slater, & Terrell Owens (I’ve liked him for a while since I played fantasty football with him as my top pick) & Cheryl Burke, whom I also love.

Other contestants are Barbara Corcoran (Shark Tank) & Keo Motsepe, Derek Fisher (former Los Angeles Laker basketball player) & Sharna Burgess, Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle) & Witney Carson, Jordan Fisher (Grease: LIVE & singer) & Lindsay Arnold, Lindsey Stirling (acclaimed violinist)& Mark Ballas, Nikki Bella (WWE Diva) & Artem Chigvintsev, Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) & Gleb Savchenko, and Victoria Arlen (gold & silver medalist in swimming) & Val Chmerkovskiy.

On tonight’s 2-hour premiere, each couple will perform a salsa, foxtrot, tango, or cha cha, vying for America’s vote for the first time. No couples will be eliminated on week one, and they will all advance to week two of the competition.

Check out the new celebrities and pick your favorites to win tonight on ABC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRIng So You Think You Can Dance & To Tell the Truth.

It has been a very slow summer for television, which has led to a lack of me… Fear not! I’m back! Tonight there is a show worth writing about, and it is none other than Midnight, Texas.

I have read the novel by Charlaine Harris and enjoyed it, so that made me hesitant to watch the show in the beginning. I’m happy to say I was thrilled with the show. Manfred was cast well, and the story lines surrounding him talking to dead people are well executed and make me love his character more. Last week he proved his loyalty to the town when he helped save the town from the arrival of a nest of vampires who were planning on killing the entire town. Now from here I’m hoping the town can band together and fight the impending evil so they can continue to live their peaceful lives off the grid in Midnight.

On tonight’s episode, “Sexy Beast,” Manfred’s ability to see the dead leads him to uncover an ancient supernatural who seduces and feeds on men. To protect their town’s supernatural anonymity, Manfred, with the help of Fiji, Lem, Joe, and Creek, venture out of the safety of Midnight to a roadside bar to stop the supernatural killer. Meanwhile, Bobo must confront the dangerous bikers who threaten to expose his past. While carrying out a hit, Olivia discovers an unlikely link to her father.

To find out if they can stop this killer in time, tune in to NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching American Ninja Warrior and Diners, Drive-ins & Dives.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 7/24/17

I’m excited about tonight’s premiere of Midnight, Texas on NBC. This is based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris (who also wrote the books that inspired True Blood). François Arnaud (The Borgias) as Manfred, a charming young guy who happens to be a powerful psychic that can communicate with spirits. After going on the run from some bad dudes, he ends up in Midnight, after a prompting from his (dead) grandmother. Midnight is home to both human and supernaturals: Bobo, the owner of the local pawn shop (Dylan Bruce, Orphan Black); Fiji, a witch who owns the local wiccan shop (Parisa Fitz-Henley, Luke Cage); Olivia, a human assassin who runs with the supernatural crowd (Arielle Kebbel, The Vampire Diaries); Joe, an angel — literally, with big white wings! (Jason Lewis, Sex and the City); Lemuel, a vampire with a long history in Midnight (Peter Mensah, True Blood); Creek, an aspiring writer (Sarah Ramos, Parenthood); and Rev. Emilio Sheehan, a shifter — but what kind, you’ll have to watch to believe… (Yul Vazquez, Captain Phillips).

For the most part, critics haven’t been nice about this one, but I rarely put my faith in what critics (for TV, movies, or books) have to say — I listen but then make up my own mind, and I tend to like a lot of things they don’t and vice versa. That’s why I’m hopeful others will give this one a shot, no matter what they’ve heard. I’ve seen the first couple of episode and really enjoyed it. It’s not something you should sit down and expect to get serious TV from. It’s pure entertainment, and if you can take it for what it is and not try to make it more than that, it should be fun to watch.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Manfred Bernardo, a powerful psychic on the run, decides to hide out in the small, sleepy town of Midnight, Texas. But when he’s haunted by the ghost of a recently murdered Midnighter, Manfred discovers this sleepy community is a mysterious safe haven for outsiders with secrets — both supernatural and human.

See if this latest supernatural show’s for you tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing American Ninja Warrior, Dessert Games, So You Think You Can Dance, Texas Cake House, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, & Somewhere Between.
