chicagopd1028smallI am loving each and every episode of Chicago PD this season. Last week, Voight and the squad went after the man who’d tried to blow him and his family up and who was going after everyone who’d been on Voight’s team when he illegally got him sent to prison years before. That isn’t to say the guy was innocent, just that Voight lied about something and that’s what ultimately put the guy away. The guy was good… He manipulated things to pit Voight against Olinsky and make Voight doubt Al’s claim that he wasn’t the one who stole the guy’s money. In the end, the theft was an inside job, that man turned on his boss, and our team captured both men. Meanwhile, Al sent off the paternity test, but his wife (ex? I’m never clear about that. LOL) basically gave him an ultimatum.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Al and his daughter (or is she?) and his family. And now that Voight’s basically given Jay his permission, I can’t wait to see things get hotter between him and Erin. And finally, Voight’s problem about lying during the case years ago hasn’t gone away, so will this be the end of Voight? Surely not. Wouldn’t be the same show without him. And you gotta admit he’s really cleaned up his act since the beginning of the show. He still skirts the line, but I don’t consider him a true dirty cop anymore, so that’ll be fun to see how that plays out. Tonight is a 2-hour episode (2 episodes, but most places, including my DVR, show it as a single 2-hour block), and I can’t wait.

On tonight’s episode, “Climbing Into Bed/You Never Know Who’s Who,” after a botched undercover job, Ruzek is under scrutiny by the new Street Deputy Crowley (guest star Barbara Eve Harris), who will determine his future with the unit. A suspicious person call turns into a murder investigation when Burgess and her temporary partner Price (guest star Travis A. Knight) discover the body of a dead man in an SUV. After Mouse identifies the victim as the owner of a security company, the unit soon realizes there might be more to his story. Halstead and Lindsay take a step forward in their relationship.

Find out what happens with Ruzek and between Jay and Erin tonight on NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing World Series, Hellevator, The Mysteries of Laura, The Goldbergs, Criminal Minds, black-ish, Code Black, & Mystery Diners.

Kyle’s Choice

modernfamily1021smallI am a huge fan of ABC’s Wednesday comedy block, and one of my favorites is still Modern Family. Last week, Cameron was having a bit of a midlife crisis, trying to be “bros” with the frat guys renting the apartment upstairs. Mitch was getting annoyed with his “bromosexual” husband and hatched a plan with Luke to end it. Meanwhile, Phil was obsessed with his duck eggs, building them an insanely detailed habitat while waiting for them to hatch; Claire was failing miserably at coming up with new closet ideas; and Manny was having troubling asking out a barista, until he saw his always-confident mother get tongue-tied in front of her favorite telenovela star, which gave him the push he needed,

This series continues to feel fresh and fun in its seventh season. The writers do a great job of mixing things up each week so that you get entertaining stories involving different pairings of the members of this extended family. The writing is always witty, and the stories always seem to converge in some unexpected but endearing way in the end.

On tonight’s episode, “The Verdict,” Gloria’s picked for jury duty and can’t wait to practice her U.S. citizenship, but Jay isn’t too happy to be helping out at Joe’s preschool by himself. Meanwhile, Claire’s plans for “Bring Your Daughter to Work Day” hit a snag; Phil participates in community service with Luke and Manny’s class; and Mitchell and Cameron can’t agree on a guest list for their party.

Don’t miss Gloria on jury duty tonight on ABC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Survivor, Criminal Minds, Code Black, The Middle, The Goldbergs, black-ish, Empire, Arrow, Supernatural, American Horror Story: Hotel, The League, You’re the Worst, Worst Cooks in America, and Moonbeam City.

chicagofire1020smallIn the beginning, I wasn’t a huge fan of Chicago Fire, but when Chicago PD came around, I started watching the former because of the crossovers. Now I’m hooked. Last week’s season premiere was full of action and emotions. First Casey was rescued by Antonio, and then he found out Nesbitt would walk on charges because he is an informant. Casey didn’t handle it well at all. Dawson was very worried about him and kept trying to have a conversation with him, but he was so distant and difficult to talk with that she gave up. However, after Dawson had a close call with injury during a fire, Casey went to the bar to tell Dawson that nothing else mattered as long as he had her. Now Dawson finally got to tell Casey the news she’d been keeping. She’s pregnant! Casey and Dawson had such a sweet moment, and I am so happy they are finally back together fully. On a not-so-good note, Severide got demoted because of the high turnover rate on his crew. Patterson got made the lead, and Severide wasn’t pleased. In fact, Severide left us last week with the idea that he isn’t coming back to the house and will go elsewhere rather than work under Patterson. I certainly hope not, because I think the show would suffer from him not being at the same house. I’m looking forward to this week’s episode and seeing how Casey treats Dawson on the job now.

On tonight’s episode, “A Taste of Panama City,” members of the firehouse are frustrated with their inability to help Chief Boden, whose job is on the line pending an internal investigation in the aftermath of a complicated call to a fire. Meanwhile, Lt. Severide struggles to accept his smaller role and adjusts to the presence of Capt. Patterson, his new commanding officer. Dawson shakes things up on the work front, and Casey attempts to find a crucial piece of evidence in his ongoing investigation against Nesbitt. Elsewhere, Herrmann struggles to keep the peace with Molly’s newest neighbors.

To see how the team rallies to help the Chief, tune in to NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Voice, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, NCIS, NCIS: NOLA, Limitless, and Chopped.

truthbetold1016smallMy pick tonight is the series premiere of Truth Be Told (fka People are Talking), NBC’s latest comedy about two diverse couples who are both neighbors and best friends. As they go through life side-by-side, they can’t help but analyze and obsess about everything. From topics like sex and race, to the fact that the trusted new babysitter might just be a porn star, nothing is out of bounds for this wildly outspoken foursome. The cast includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tone Bell, Vanessa Lachey, and Bresha Webb.

I’ve seen the pilot (although, it might have been an old version of it…) and really enjoyed it. Of course, Mark-Paul Gosselaar is one of my favorites – he has been since Saved By the Bell – but I love Tone Bell in this as well. I have to say the “babysitter might just be a porn star” was my favorite story line of the pilot, but I liked it all.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Angie’s ex-boyfriend hooks her up with four tickets to the Jay-Z concert. Her husband, Russell, is wary, but her best friends Mitch and Tracy are thrilled with the opportunity to have a fun night out. But first, Tracy and Mitch have to scramble to find a babysitter for their daughter. Mitch fears Kimberly (guest star Antonimar Murphy), the leading candidate, is too attractive. Meanwhile, Russell voices an even bigger concern about the babysitter.

See if this new comedy makes you laugh tonight on NBC at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, Undateable, Dr. Ken, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, & BBQ Blitz.

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.
