grimm325smallI swear, if the writers on Grimm make Adalind go back to how she was before, I’m gonna scream. I love the new Adalind, although I don’t mind if she goes back to being a Hexenbiest, as long as she’s still a better person. But sorry, I jumped ahead a bit. LOL Last week, we saw a Luchador wrestler who was paid to lose get fed up and finally do what he had to do to win. That meant asking for a special mask from an old man – a Wesen – who made them. To do that, the maker killed another Wesen and literally cut off his face. Creepy! Sure, it made the guy awesome, but really, it basically possessed him and made him kill people in anger. It was kind of sad, actually. Meanwhile, Capt. Renard is now considering the offer from the woman he’s been sleeping with, the one working with the group behind the Wesen uprising, who had the mayoral candidate killed. I HATE that after all the time they’ve spent making Capt. Renard a decent guy working with Nick to help keep Wesen peace and shut down the royals, etc, they’re now making him out to be this power-hungry/greedy/whatever guy who is going to screw up the Nick/Adalind relationship. Ugh!

On tonight’s episode, “Lycanthropia,” following a brutal attack in the woods, Nick and Hank stumble upon a terrifying Wesen disease that may be the inspiration for the modern-day werewolf myth. Meanwhile, Adalind is offered an uneasy alliance that may help her get back what she wants most. Elsewhere, Eve’s investigation uncovers a surprising revelation. Ann Cusack guest stars.

See what Eve uncovers and what Adalind decides to do tonight on NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Second Chance.

"Younger" (Ep. 212 - Airs March 23, 2016)Tonight, the second season of Younger comes to a close. Last week, Liza threatened Thad that if he didn’t tell Kelsey he was cheating on her, she would do it for him. Meanwhile, Empirical was busy trying to prepare for the launch of the latest fantasy novel from their biggest author – an obvious nod to George R. R. Martin and his “A Song of Ice and Fire.” They were auditioning actresses to portray the heroine at the launch party when Liza walked in, and the lecherous author immediately wanted her to be the one to wear the Slave Leia-like costume. Meanwhile, Thad showed up to Liza’s apartment to try to convince her not to talk to Kelsey, when he ran into Liza’s daughter – and knew he now had a bargaining chip. He met with Liza in the city and threatened to go public about her age, but Liza told Thad that she was going to tell Kelsey the truth and that she didn’t care what he did. However, she soon didn’t have to worry about any of that, because as she walked away, a steel girder came falling from the sky and landed right on top of Thad!

What a shocking, unexpected, but totally effective turn of events! It looks like Liza’s secret is safe for a little longer, but how is Kelsey going to take the news of her fiance’s untimely death? And what about Liza – how will this brush with death affect her? Will she finally just come clean on her own? And what about her love life – will she get back with Josh, will she finally make a move on Charles, or will she find love somewhere else?

On tonight’s episode, “No Weddings & a Funeral,” tragedy strikes, and Liza wonders if she should end her 26-year-old life forever.

Learn what decisions Liza makes tonight on TV Land at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, Criminal Minds, The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family, black-ish, Heartbeat, Arrow, Supernatural, Young & Hungry, Baby Daddy, and The Americans.

heartbeat322smallTonight, NBC kicks off the new medical drama, Heartbeat, which is loosely inspired by the real life and achievements of Dr. Kathy Magliato. Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George, The Slap, Alias) is a world-renowned heart transplant surgeon and one of the few women in her field. She is constantly pushing the boundaries and coming up with new breakthroughs in medical science. However, despite her professional achievements, she constantly has to justify her decisions to the skeptical hospital administrators and her fellow staff. And while her professional career is somewhat on track, her personal life is complex and a bit of a mess. Alex and her rock-star husband Max (Joshua Leonard, True Detective) divorced after he revealed he was gay, but they are still friends and co-parent their two children. She is dating liver-transplant surgeon Dr. Pierce Harrison (Dave Annable, Red Band Society), but things are about to get complicated as her old flame/mentor, Dr. Jesse Shane (Don Hany, Childhood’s End), returns to the hospital. The cast also includes Shelley Conn (The Lottery), D.L. Hughley (The Hughleys), Jamie Kennedy (Kingdom), Maya Erskine (Betas) and J. Louis Mills.

This series is a much lighter medical drama than shows like Code Black or ER. While Alex takes on some serious cases and there are some more dramatic moments, the series doesn’t get heavy with the melodrama. Instead, it takes the wackier route, which is why it should fit nicely taking over The Mysteries of Laura timeslot – the two shows have a similar tone. The supporting cast is stacked with folks who are no strangers to comedy, and they help add to the humor that makes this just a fun medical show.

On tonight’s premiere, “Pilot,” heart-transplant surgeon Alexandra Panttiere, who’s as unorthodox in the OR as she is with the two men in her life, takes on a new case.

Another episode airs tomorrow night in the show’s regular timeslot of 8/7c, but for tonight, tune in to NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Limitless, Fresh Off the Boat, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, The Flash, iZombie, American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, and Chrisley Knows Best.

iceage320smallTonight, FOX has both sides of Easter covered. Before the huge live musical event The Passion, FOX is airing the new animated special, Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade, which puts a prehistoric twist on the origins of the Easter bunny. Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) has decided to start a new egg-sitting business, but the locals are all too familiar with his unlucky past with eggs, and no one wants to be his customer. However, a newly-migrated and stressed-out single bird mother (Taraji P. Henson, Empire) and her neighbors, Condor Mom (Wendy Williams), Cholly Bear (Gabriel Iglesias), and Gladys Glypto (Lili Estefan), all decide to leave their eggs with Sid. Meanwhile, pirate bunny Squint (Seth Green, Family Guy) is back – the guys had smashed up his ship in Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, and he wants them to replace it. When they refuse, he sneaks in and takes the eggs as Sid is sleeping, and hides them. Needless to say the parents are furious, and Manny (Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary), and Sid are joined by Squint’s twin brother Clint (Blake Anderson, Workaholics) as they go on the world’s first Easter Egg Hunt to find the missing eggs – which Squint has painted to make them harder to find. Meanwhile, possums Eddie (Josh Peck, Grandfathered) and Crash (Seann William Scott) set out to make Peaches the first April Fool; and Scrat continues to seek out that elusive acorn.

If you’re a fan of the Ice Age films, this is a fun, holiday-themed addition to the franchise. All of your favorite characters are back, and they’ve even found several ways to weave in connections to the past films. Plus, during tonight’s special, viewers will get an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming, all-new animated feature film Ice Age: Collision Course, which hits theaters in July.

Go on an egg hunt tonight on FOX at 7:30/6:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Good Wife, The Family, Quantico, The Carmichael Show, Crowded, Hollywood Game Night, The Passion, and The Walking Dead.

crowded315smallTonight, NBC kicks off its new family sitcom, Crowded, with back-to-back episodes. The series finds empty nesters Mike (Patrick Warburton, Rules of Engagement) and Martina Moore (Carrie Preston, True Blood, The Good Wife) finally starting to enjoy their freedom, when their daughters suddenly want to move back in. Bookish Shea (Miranda Cosgrove, iCarly) was the victim of a layoff and can no longer afford to live on her own, while wild child Stella (Mia Serafino, Shameless) is having problems with her boyfriend. And to make matters worse, Mike’s father Bob (Stacy Keach, NCIS: NOLA) and stepmother Alice (Carlease Burke, Switched at Birth) have cancelled their plans to spend their golden years in Florida now that their grandkids are going to be around.

I watched tonight’s first episode and found it to be a pretty standard family sitcom. However, I was surprised that this was an NBC series, because it felt a lot like one of those ABC Friday comedies, though maybe slightly more adult in the humor. However, since the series comes from executive producers Suzanne Martin, Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner, and James Burrows, who have a long history with NBC, that explains it. The cast is great, and I like the premise of the series, so I look forward to checking out tonight’s second episode to see more of what the weekly series is going to be like.

On tonight’s first episode, “Pilot,” Shea and Stella upend their parents’ plans when they move back home after college. Then in tonight’s second episode, “Present Tense,” Mike and Martina hope to re-spark their sex life, which has been dormant since the Stella and Shea moved home. Stella, meanwhile, helps Shea with a dating app.

Meet the newest TV family tonight on NBC at 10/9c & 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Limitless, Fresh Off the Boat, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Grinder, American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Chrisley Knows Best, Awkward., and Faking It.
