Hollywood Game Night is one of my favorite primetime game shows, and I’m thrilled to see it returning to the lineup tonight. The hilarious Jane Lynch is back as host, and each week, 6 new celebrities will join two “normies” to battle it out in a series of fun games. This show is always a blast to watch as the celebrities let loose and just have fun.

Each season, the show does a great job of introducing fun new games while also bringing back many of our favorites, and this year is no different. In addition to the new games, the show is also changing up the final round this year, giving the winning player the assistance of two celebrities instead of just one.

On tonight’s episode, “Two Janes Are Better Than One,” season 3 kicks off with celebrity players John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Giada De Laurentiis, Zachary Quinto, and Jane Krakowski.

Check out the new games and returning favorites tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Zoo, Tyrant, Clipped, Chrisley Knows Best, Royal Pains, Scream, and Another Period.

waywardpines72smallOn last week’s episode of Wayward Pines, we got even more answers. Pilcher gave Ethan a tour of the facilities and explained how project volunteers have devoted their lives to keeping the town’s system running from behind the scenes. The tour ended at the cryo room, where hundreds of bodies were in frozen storage. Meanwhile Kate, Ted, and Harold were plotting some sort of secret plan in a room that was outside of the town’s surveillance. We later discovered that Harold was actually building a bomb. And elsewhere, Theresa grew suspicious of an oddly vacant plot of land in town, but when she questioned Bill about it, he told her to mind her own business.

It will be interesting to see the full extent of this secret radical faction of townsfolk who don’t like what’s going on — how many people are in this group, how much do they know about what’s really going on, and what is their ultimate goal? What does Harold plan to blow up with his bomb? If he wipes out the security gates, will the town suddenly be overrun with Abbies? And at that point, is there any way to hide the truth from the rest of Wayward Pines? Will Theresa investigate Plot 33, and if so, what will she find? Will Ethan and Ben let each other know what they know…and will they clue Theresa in on what’s going on?

I have thoroughly enjoying this series and can’t believe we only have 4 episodes left!

On tonight’e episode, “Betrayal,” Ethan finds a bomb planted in his car, which leads him to question people he thought he could trust; Kate and Harold discuss their fertility issues with Nurse Pam; Ben’s relationship with Amy heats up.

See what Ethan does about the bomb tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Big Brother, Under the Dome, The Astronaut Wives Club, Rookie Blue, Hannibal, and Complications.

anotherperiodsmallTonight, Comedy Central kicks off the new comedy series Another Period, which can only be described as Keeping Up with the Kardashians meets Downton Abbey. The series is set in turn-of-the-century Newport, Rhode Island, and follows the lives of the obscenely rich Bellacourt family. Narcissistic sisters Lillian (Natasha Leggero) and Beatrice (Riki Lindhome) are only concerned with their appearance, partying, and becoming famous, and they treat their servants horribly. The rest of the family includes parents Dodo (Paget Brewster) and Commodore (David Koechner), brother Lord Frederick (Jason Ritter), sister Hortense (Artemis Pebdani), Lillian’s husband Victor (Brian Huskey), and Beatrice’s husband Albert (David Wayne). The staff of the manor is comprised of Peepers…the head butler (Michael Ian Black), his under butler Garfield (Armen Weitzman), head housemaid Blanche (Beth Dover), groundskeeper Hamish (Brett Gelman) and new servant Celine (Christina Hendricks).

Everyone seems to have some strange quirk or some dark secret, and part of the fun of the series is going to be seeing how all of this soapy goodness plays out over the season. Tonight’s episode is already available to watch early via Comedy Central’s web site. While I’m not a fan of the Kardashians — and have never seen an episode of their show — this series looks like it has the potential to be a hilarious satire of the genre, and I’m excited to see more of this amazingly talented group of actors/comedians.

On tonight’s premiere, “Pilot,” Bellacourt Manor welcomes a new servant; a space opens up in the Newport 400; and the family receive a visit from Helen Keller.

Meet this snobby new family tonight on Comedy Central at 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording I Can Do That, Tyrant, Clipped, Proof, Chrisley Knows Best, and Royal Pains.

majorcrimes68smallTonight’s the season premiere of Major Crimes, and I’m so excited, given how last season ended. Phillip Stroh was back and in the process of signing a plea agreement, in which he would give up the names and locations of other victims, but I knew from the beginning of that story arc that something was hinky. The judge who was presiding over it was an old acquaintance of Stroh’s, so he wasn’t leery enough of the bad guy…and Stroh took advantage of that. Over the course of several visits, he kept dropping his pen (using the excuse of his handcuffed hands for the fumbling), requiring the judge to come around his desk and kneel down next to Stroh. But in the season finale, using the same “drop the pen” act, he killed the judge and escaped before anyone was the wiser. They got a manhunt going as soon as they figured it out, but they were unable to find him. That means Rusty is vulnerable once more. Speaking of Rusty… He’s turned into a great kid, and I really love his character.

Other notes about last season: Sharon and Finn seem to be dating without realizing it. Sharon finally divorced her ex, and then she formally adopted Rusty. Sanchez was nearly fired after his mother’s caretaker — who Sanchez realized was stealing from her and leaving her alone — was killed…after Sanchez beat the crap out of the guy. Instead, he was suspended and ordered to get help for his anger issues, and one of the things he decided was he would move home and be able to help with his mother more. And finally, although the SOB spinoff isn’t happening, Fritz Howard will be back during the new season.

On tonight’s episode, “A Rose is a Rose,” the squad investigates a double homicide related to an ongoing string of home invasions in the Hollywood Hills. Meanwhile, Sanchez attempts to reintegrate himself in the division after his suspension over a questionable use of force, while Captain Raydor makes a fateful choice in the life of her adopted son, Rusty.

Catch the drama and fun tonight on TNT at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing American Ninja Warrior, So You Think You Can Dance, Guilty Pleasures, & Murder in the First.

stitchers62smallI’m not a fan of a lot of shows on ABC Family, but their latest, Stitchers, is definitely on the “must-watch” side. The show follows Kirsten (newcomer Emma Ishta), a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be “stitched” into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave. Working alongside Kirsten is Cameron (Kyle Harris, Carrie Diaries), a brilliant neuroscientist whose passion for the program is evident in his work. The secret program is headed by Maggie (Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Eureka), a skilled veteran of covert operations, and includes Linus (Ritesh Rajan, upcoming Jungle Book), a socially immature bioelectrical engineer and communications technician. Kirsten’s roommate, Camille (Allison Scagliotti, Warehouse 13), a gifted computer science grad student, is also recruited to use her skills to assist Kirsten in her new role as a “stitcher.”

I’ve seen the first two episodes, and it’s really fantastic. Kirsten reminds me of Brennan on Bones, in that her sense of humor is…well…pretty much nonexistent. That in and of itself is funny. But it also makes the surrounding cast important, and thankfully, that’s not a problem. I adore Cameron (like, huge new TV crush), Linus is extremely funny, Camille is fun and interesting (and I absolutely love Allison Scagliotti), and Salli Richardson-Whitfield is great as Kirsten’s new boss.

On tonight’s episode, “A Stitch in Time,” a young woman with a talent for technology joins a covert agency to solve crimes and mysteries by entering the minds of recently deceased individuals.

Don’t miss the premiere tonight on ABC Family at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing America’s Got Talent, Chrisley Knows Best, Hell’s Kitchen, Junk Food Flip, The Little Couple, Chopped, Royal Pains, Your Family or Mine, & I Can Do That.
