penntellerfoolussmallI’m a happy TV watcher today because Penn & Teller: Fool Us comes back tonight on The CW with the premiere of its second season. This show (recorded over in the UK, I believe) features magicians performing in front of a studio audience, including legendary magician duo Penn & Teller. If the magician can fool Penn & Teller so that they can’t tell/guess how the trick was performed, that person wins the right to perform with them in their show in Vegas at the Rio Hotel & Casino. As you would guess, there aren’t many who perform tricks that Penn & Teller (who’ve been doing magic for YEARS) haven’t seen or done themselves, but I saw it happen a few times last season. And no matter whether Penn & Teller are fooled, the acts are always fun to watch.

On tonight’s episode, “Phone-y Business,” the magicians featured include Jon Armstrong, Xavier, Greg Dow aka The Shocker, and Steve Brundage. British television and radio personality Jonathan Ross (Friday Night with Jonathan Ross) serves as host.

See if you can catch the tricks tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing American Ninja Warriors, Cake Wars, So You Think You Can Dance, Major Crimes, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Murder in the First, & Top 5 Restaurants.

izombie69smallTonight, the first season of iZombie comes to a close. Last week, Liv entered her apartment to discover that Sebastian, the guy she infected, was inside and trying to attack Peyton. She went into full zombie mode and killed Sebastian. Afterwards, she explained the truth of her condition to Peyton, who fled the apartment as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Major continued to pursue his zombie theory — he purchased some black-market weapons and brushed up on zombie-killing techniques via YouTube. He pretended to be a health inspector in order to get a closer look at Meat Cute, but Blaine soon discovered who he really was and tied him up in the back. Soon afterwards, Major heard Liv’s teenage brother in the front of the shop being offered a job by Blaine.

What are Blaine’s plans for Liv’s brother and Major? Will he turn them, kill them, or will they manage to escape? And will either of them learn the truth about Liv’s condition? It was great to finally see Peyton and Liv bonding so well this week — I really hope Peyton isn’t gone for good, although I don’t really blame her for not wanting to live with a zombie! I’m looking forward to seeing what tonight’s fun and exciting finale has in store!

On tonight’s episode, “Blaine’s World,” season 1 ends with Liv and Clive discovering new evidence in the Max Rager case. They then pay a visit to Vaughn Du Clark at Max Rager headquarters. Meanwhile, Ravi continues his search for a cure; Blaine makes Liv an offer she can’t refuse; and Major gets involved in an unbelievable situation.

See what offer Blaine makes and what Major gets involved in tonight on The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording I Can Do That, Stitchers, Younger, Your Family or Mine, Chrisley Knows Best, and Royal Pains.

theflash519smallTonight is the exciting first season finale of The Flash. Last week, the gang discovered that Wells had plans to reactivate the particle accelerator, which would kill all of the meta-humans they had locked up in S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry wanted to transport the felons to Olliver’s island, where they could be safely contained. He reached out to Captain Cold, who agreed to help in exchange for wiping out any paper trail of his existence and criminal record. However, Barry soon realized that he had been double-crossed, and the prisoners escaped.

After narrowly escaping the attack from Cold’s rogues, Barry went to meet Wells for a big showdown, where he was joined by Arrow and Firestorm. The epic battle ended when Arrow disabled Wells’s powers using a nanite-filled arrow. Meanwhile, there was a big explosion at Ray’s company as he was inside working on some new changes for his suit; and Eddie told Iris about the headline from the future that said she and Barry would be married.

How are they going to top such an exciting penultimate episode with tonight’s season finale? Will Barry and his team be able to keep Wells locked up in S.T.A.R. Labs, or will Wells find some way to escape? Will Barry be able to clear his father’s name? And what new villain or threat will step in to take Wells’s place?

On tonight’s episode, “Fast Enough,” Wells presents Barry with a life-changing choice. Meanwhile, Dr. Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond return to help the S.T.A.R. Labs team for the final fight.

To see the exciting drama tonight, tune in to The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording iZombie, Younger, and Your Family or Mine.

ncisla511smallOn the last new NCIS: LA, a former Marine and expert sniper…escaped from the VA hospital, where he was being treated for severe PTSD, after beating up his nurse and an orderly. Both men ended up being okay, but when Kensi & Deeks went in undercover at the hospital, they learned that the guy was taking unauthorized, illegal drugs…basically so he would be compliant to the people who’d given him the drug. They raced to find him, and Kensi was able to shoot at him and hit him just right so he couldn’t do the assassination the bad guys had set him up to do. In the end, they got him back to the hospital and he was off the drug and reunited with his wife and daughter, back on track to healing and finding peace. It was a great episode for Kensi, given her sniper background and Afghanistan. Hetty had some confidence that she’d be okay, but Granger wasn’t as sure of her. Thankfully, Hetty was right.

Tonight we revisit Arkady and the ship from a couple of episodes ago. That should be fun. And with only one episode left after tonight’s, I’m hoping we see movement on the Deeks/LAPD IA story line!

On tonight’s episode, “Kolcheck A.,” Callen and Sam search for answers when they find dead crew members from the missing oil tanker used in Arkady’s deal with Russia, and also discover Arkady’s personal connection to the ship.

Learn about Arkady’s connection to the ship tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, & Castle.

onebighappysmallI’m really enjoying One Big Happy so far — and surprisingly, Nick Zano’s pretty is just a bonus. The show itself is really funny, and the chemistry between the three leads has been great. Last week, Lizzy was seriously crushing on a woman at the gym, and when Prudence and Luke wanted to try to set her up, she went along with it. She and Kate really seemed to hit it off — enjoying a “date” at the bowling alley — until Lizzy and Luke were at the doctor’s office for their first visit…and Kate ended up being the nurse. Kate seemed pretty accepting of Lizzy’s situation, but in the end, she said they couldn’t go out while Lizzy was a patient. At the end of the visit, it sure seemed like she was counting the days until that happened.

On tonight’s episode, “Flight Risk,” the ever-adventurous Prudence convinces Luke and Lizzy that they need to spice up their lives. Their idea of a good time is tackling the Farmers Market each week. Fearing that his new bride will find him too boring, Luke takes a chance at skydiving — with some disastrous results.

To see what happens when Luke skydives, tune in to NBC at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Hell’s Kitchen, NCIS, Repeat After Me, iZombie, 19 Kids & Counting, Married at First Sight, NCIS: NOLA, Undateable, Weird Loners, 7 Little Johnstons, Chopped, Younger, & Your Family or Mine.
