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.

Megan’s Choice

theplayer1015smallThe Player has quickly become a must-watch show for my fiancé and me. He loves the action, and I’m drawn in by the story lines, so it’s a win-win. The plight that Alex is on to find out who killed his wife is a dangerous one, but what’s even more dangerous is the number of crimes he’s been working to stop in the meantime. Working with Mr. Johnson and Cassandra is a very intimidating job for most, but Alex seems to have taken to it well, although I wouldn’t trust Mr. Johnson very much if I were Alex. Mr. Johnson offered to help Alex find out what happened to his wife, but I don’t believe he’s in it to help but to cover up everything Alex finds – for example, last episode when he broke into Alex’s and knocked out Alex’s hacker buddy, who he’d left to look into an SD card that Ginny hid in a picture.

Meanwhile last episode, Alex was also brought in to try to stop a sniper from killing anymore people, with a total count at 3 so far. The investigation led them to a group of men who had taken some money while on vacation in Mexico. Turns out the dead men they took the money from were cartel, and now the cartel was seeking revenge. Alex managed to save Bob and his son Jake, as well as kill the sniper, but Mr. Johnson had to step in and offer the cartel money to keep them away from Alex. The FBI is also running an off-the-books investigation because Alex’s behavior matches a few others who have mysteriously disappeared after their change in activity. They’ve asked Alex’s detective friend to look into it. I hope Mr. Johnson doesn’t catch wind of this, because I would hate to see someone else close to Alex murdered.

On tonight’s episode, “The Big Blind,” Det. Brown uncovers the truth about a hit man and in turn arrests Alex’s client. Alex continues to look for clues regarding Ginny’s murder with the help of Mr. Johnson, but Cassandra is one step ahead of them with her own agenda.

Want to see more of this addictive new drama? Tune in to NBC at 10/9c.

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