If We Controlled Your Remote… 3/30/17

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!

Kyle’s Choice #1

Tonight, The Amazing Race returns to CBS as 22 new contestants start their adventure around the globe in hopes of taking home the $1M prize. However, for this 29th season, there is a big twist: all eleven teams will be comprised of complete strangers! This race is already difficult enough when you can plan ahead for your partner’s strengths and weaknesses, but meeting your teammate on the starting mat adds even more stress to the game! A while back there was a season where half the teams were “blind dates,” and it actually worked out surprisingly well for the teams that just met. It will be interesting to see if that’s the case again. Will the lack of a history to bicker about actually help these newly formed teams? At least there isn’t necessarily a forced pretense of a love connection between the teammates this time around.

On tonight’s premiere, “We’re Coming for You, Phil!” twenty-two strangers meet at the starting line in Los Angeles and then pair up to form eleven teams who then fly to the first destination: Panama City.

Meet the new teams tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

hawaiifiveo513smallOn last week’s Hawaii Five-0, Chin learned some shocking news: he’s an uncle! It was a shock to everyone to learn that Gabriel had a young daughter. (In case you don’t remember, Chin was married to Gabriel’s sister until she was killed.) Chin found out about the girl when her mother was killed while she was at a neighbor’s house at a sleepover. Then she was kidnapped by Michelle Shioma’s (one bad, cold woman…) people in order to draw Gabriel out to Shioma, and the gang had to find her. Unfortunately, in the process, they killed the man who they believed would turn on Shioma, which meant they still couldn’t arrest her! Ugh!

Tonight is a double-episode season finale. We’re still in the middle of the Gabriel story line, which hopefully will be resolved tonight. Unfortunately, I don’t think Adam is in either story, which means he’ll still be in prison by season’s end (and I’m assuming at the beginning of next season). I don’t like that… I would love to see him and Kono get to start their HEA!

On tonight’s first episode, “Pa’a ka ‘ipuka i ka ‘upena nananana (The Entrance is Stopped with a Spider’s Web),” trapped inside a dilapidated building in Oahu’s Chinatown, Five-0 must protect a wounded Gabriel (Christopher Sean) and plan their escape when enemy gunmen storm the building looking to kill him and anyone who gets in their way.

Then on the season finale, “O ke ali’I wale no ka’u makemake (My Desire is Only for the Chief),” in order to stop a meth epidemic on the Island, McGarrett and Danny go undercover as pilots, but when McGarrett is seriously wounded, Danny is forced to break their cover in order to save his partner’s life. Duane “Dog” Chapman guest stars.

See how the season ends tonight on CBS starting at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Grimm.

bluebloods56smallThis time of year always brings me a mixture of emotions. On one hand, I am always excited to see the excellent episodes that May brings, but on the other hand, it’s finale time, which means my favorites disappear for another year. Tonight it’s Blue Bloods that is wrapping up its season, and I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see where they’ll leave us next.

On the last episode, Erin and Anthony struggled to find a way to get a witness in a murder trial to testify as he feared for his safety. Erin managed to trick the defendant into confessing on camera when she locked the witness up for contempt and just happened to place him in a cell next to the defendant. It was a very smart move, which reminded me why I’ve always loved her character. Elsewhere, Frank was being encouraged to go the union party for the police officers, but he knew that if he went, the men wouldn’t have fun, so he sent someone in as a representative instead, and that made everyone happy. I’m hoping that in the season finale, we’ll get some sort of movement on the relationship between Jamie and Eddie, because it’s high time we see them together!

On tonight’s episode, “Blowback,” things heat up as Frank, the mayor, Erin, and the DA’s office contend with public outrage after a grand jury doesn’t indict an NYPD officer for the controversial shooting of a teenager that was caught on video. Also, when an officer is shot in what seems like retaliation, Danny and Baez go on a manhunt for the suspect.

To find out if they can calm the storm of the public outrage, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Amazing Race and Hawaii Five-0.

sleepyhollow226smallSleepy Hollow has come back from hiatus and hit the ground running with a solid story that is continuing at a steady pace while still keeping us entertained with a weekly bad guy to watch our favorite witnesses fight.

On last week’s episode the Kindred returned and brought murder with him, but it would appear he is killing couples out of jealousy of their love. The creepy guy is lonely and looking for love… Wonder if Craigslist has a column for supernatural beings looking for their mate? Probably not, but that’s okay because apparently Ben Franklin anticipated this humanely need and made a bride for the Kindred that was stored centuries ago. Thanks to Ichabod and the team, they managed to bring her to life and stop the Kindred from murdering any more. It was a strange episode, but I will say that I’m enjoying the small moments of bonding that Crane and Abbie had this episode, and I’m hopeful we may finally be moving in a romantic direction for these two.

On tonight’s episode, “Sins of the Father,” when Jenny makes the decision to confront her father, family turmoil from the past rises to the surface. Meanwhile, Atticus Nevins returns to town, bringing more danger than the FBI could have imagined.

Find out how this family reunion goes tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0, and The Amazing Race.

hawaiifiveo212smallThe last new episode of Hawaii Five-0 was tense and exciting and sad too. Grover went to Chicago to confront his old partner Clay, who Grover believes killed his wife when they were visiting Grover and his family in Hawaii months before. Grover broke into Clay’s house, knocked him out, tied him up, and then interrogated him, trying to break Clay into giving a confession. Clay held firm to his innocence, even with a smirk on his face. Grover then tried the tactic of catching Clay for something else if he couldn’t catch him for murder. Grover believed that Clay stole money from a big bust when they were partners, and he had the idea that Clay had hidden it somewhere in the house – in the walls, etc. While he was searching, Clay’s mistress-turned-girlfriend came home, and at first Grover was able to get Clay to get her to go away before she noticed anything amiss, but the second time she came home, Grover had to grab her and tie her up too.

In the end, he did indeed find the huge stash of cash, in the panels of the old car Clay had in the garage (the way Grover figured it out, by wondering why Clay had the old car in the garage and his new one outside in the cold, snowy Chicago winter, was pretty smart). Then Grover called the police, basically planning to get Clay AND himself arrested. Meanwhile, Chin and Kono were held at gunpoint and nearly killed when they drove through the backroads and fields to race Steve and Danny, who took the highway. They stumbled across two guy who were digging a place to put a dead cop. Thankfully, Steve and Danny drove out and found them just before the bad guys killed them.

I’m nervous about the whole Grover situation. I can’t see him being let go right away. He didn’t kill anyone (didn’t even really hurt Clay or the girlfriend), but he certainly kidnapped them and caused a lot of damage to the house. But from the description of this week’s episode, there’s NO mention of Grover at all. Surely we’ll find out what happened…right?

On tonight’s episode, “Hoa ‘inea (Misery Loves Company),” as Five-0 investigates a double homicide involving marital infidelity, McGarrett and the team recount their disastrous Valentine’s Day experiences. Chef Masaharu Morimoto guest stars as himself.

Find out what happened with Grover and hear some funny V-Day stories tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, American Diner Revival, Grimm, Second Chance, Blue Bloods, Guy & Hunter’s European Vacation, & Burgers, Brew & ’Que.
