Tonight, the third season of The Last Man on Earth comes to a close on FOX with a special 1-hour finale. Last week, the show took a sudden and unexpected leap forward in time, and Tandy comically and casually mentioned all of the “boring” stuff viewers missed during those 6 months. Melissa was now sane again and ready to walk down the aisle with Todd. Meanwhile, Jasper was talking up a storm, Erica and Gail were a couple, and Erica’s and Carol’s pregnancies had advanced tremendously. And the episode ended with Erica’s water breaking.

Will these untrained survivors be able to deliver the baby successfully, or will Erica face the same fate as her baby’s father? Will Carol also give birth before the end of tonight’s finale? And will we finally see the return of Kristen Wiig’s character? (I really hope so. She’s so hilarious!) The series creators already warned that this season finale was not written as a series finale, so we’ll likely be left with yet another twist/cliffhanger, so I really hope we hear of some good renewal news from FOX soon!

On tonight’s season finale, “When the Going Gets Tough; Nature’s Horchata,” the long-term consequences of surviving an apocalyptic event start to have a major impact on the group as their daily lives are turned upside down.

See how the season (series?) ends tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Madam Secretary, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Making History, Into the Badlands, The Leftovers, Silicon Valley, Veep, and American Gods.

lastmanonearth1113smallThe Last Man on Earth continues to keep things fresh in its third season by constantly shaking things up. Last week, the group was on the move and came across an abandoned five-story self-sustaining office building with electricity, plumbing, and most importantly…frozen pizza. While most of the group was excited with their new location, it seemed like someone was trying to sabotage things to get them to leave. While Phil suspected it was the newest addition to the group, Lewis, Carol eventually came clean that it was her and that she had always pictured her and Phil living in a real house. So, in one of the building’s warehouse-like rooms, Phil built her a small playhouse for the two of them to live in. Meanwhile, Gail dropped out of the love triangle with Todd for Melissa, and Melissa dropped the bomb that she wanted to have Todd’s baby.

How long will the gang stay at this new location? Will Phil ever get along with Lewis? Will Todd take Melissa up on her offer, or is he also ready to bail on that relationship? How much longer does Erica have until her baby arrives? And will the group come across any new survivors? I’m really enjoying this series and always look forward to seeing what cliffhanger the next episode will bring.

On tonight’s episode, “The Open-Ended Nature of Unwitnessed Deaths,” Phil tries to make friends with Lewis by becoming interested in his life story. Meanwhile, Carol needs a favor from Gail; and Todd is concerned about Melissa’s mental health.

See if Phil and Lewis become friends tonight on FOX at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Quantico, Madam Secretary, The Simpsons, Son of Zorn, Family Guy, The Walking Dead, Good Behavior, Eyewitness, and Westworld.

ncisla925smallToday is my favorite day of the entire TV season. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration…but only slight! Tonight is the 2-hour season premiere of NCIS: LA, and it promises to be a good one! The LA branch of NCIS has been looking for a mole in the organization for a while now, and tonight it all comes to a head when higher-ups decide it’s time for someone else to be in charge and find the mole. How that will affect the team – and for how long – I don’t know. But something else that is affecting them is Daniela Ruah’s pregnancy. Kensi will be in every episode, but only because Daniela and (at least…) Eric (Deeks) filmed scenes in advance from each episode. Something huge happens with Kensi in this premiere, which keeps her out of the office/field for a while. I’m sure that means we’ll be seeing more of Nell in the field, partnered with Deeks, which should be a lot of fun. But it also means that this season should be an interesting one.

And don’t forget that because of football, Sunday shows on CBS tend to have erratic start times. CBS has tried to help by pushing everything back thirty minutes, which means shows will automatically start at 8:30/7:30c instead of 8/7c. But if you’re planning on recording NCIS: LA, Madam Secretary, or Elementary, I would make sure to record an hour or even two hours over, just to be sure you get it all. Trust me, I had to do that more than I’d like to remember the last few seasons!

On tonight’s two-hour premiere, “High-Value Target,” and “Belly of the Beast,” after NCIS fails to locate a mole in the department, Under Secretary of Defense Corbin Duggan (Jackson Hurst) insists on new leadership and takes over the Los Angeles unit from Hetty and Granger. Also, the team travels to Syria to apprehend a High Value Target, where one team member is severely injured when the mission goes awry.

See what happens when the office gets taken over and the team goes to Syria tonight on CBS at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Great Food Truck Race, Cooks vs Cons, & Quantico.

brooklyn991213smallLast week on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, we basically met the complete opposite of Jake and Rosa – cop partners from Sweden who were there to find stolen diamonds. They were all sorts of touchy-feely, waaaaaaay too far into each other’s personal business (*snicker* The best line of the night was that he already had his sperm in a tooperware container when she and her husband were trying to have a baby.), and were overly cheerful yet…condescending, too. Of course, Jake and Rosa don’t touch, don’t talk, certainly don’t share sperm, and much to Jake’s disappointment, don’t even share things like what he should get Amy for their anniversary or that Rosa and Marcus broke up. In the end, they were able to solve the case and Rosa not only helped Jake out with a gift idea, but she shared that she has a new boyfriend – only admitting his name was…*gasp* Tom *gasp*…after she’d downed a bunch of shots.

I love the show this year. It’s fun seeing the different pairings working together, and I love that we know Jake and Amy are together but it hasn’t affected anything negatively in terms of the show or how they work together, etc. Tonight is the fall finale, and it was a fantastic episode (gotta love the press screening rooms. *grin*). One of my favorites. There’s some great scenes with Jake and Charles, which are always fun, and an awesome story line with Capt. Holt, Rosa, and Amy. Overall, it’s a great way to go into the fall break.

On tonight’s episode, “Yippie Kayak,” Jake, Charles and Gina are involved in a real-life Die Hard situation while off-duty on Christmas Eve, and Terry must leave his family celebration to try to save his squad. Meanwhile, Amy tries to prove she’s just as tough as Holt and Rosa. Dean Winters, Merrin Dungey, and Jamal Duff guest star.

To see what predicament Jake, Charles, and Gina find themselves in, tune in to FOX at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Librarians, Jill and Jessa: Counting On, Agent X, Holiday Baking Championship, CSI: Cyber, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

I’m glad to be home!)

brooklyn9953smallLast week’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a lot of fun. Jake injured himself by falling as he ran across the top of cars (How in the world he injured himself as much as he did, I have no idea… LOL), and Terry tried to force him to take some time off since the doctor didn’t actually clear him, but Jake was determined to catch the bad guy, even to the detriment of his health. In the end, they did catch him and Jake was able to recover. Meanwhile, Holt and Rosa were forced to spend an evening with their significant others — although Rosa cut it short when she admitted to Holt that she was late and thought she might be pregnant. Talk about sharing personal information! Unfortunately, that shortened dinner meant Amy and Gina missed it completely after showing up late (as Amy tried to prove how “chill” she was).

I love this show. The chemistry between the characters is as great now as it’s been since the beginning, and I love them all. I’m hoping we’ll get some movement on the relationship between Jake & Amy as the season comes to a close in the next few weeks, but I guess we’ll see…

On tonight’s episode, “Det. Dave Majors,” Jake is excited to work a case with the best detective in the NYPD, Detective Majors (guest star Garret Dillahunt, Raising Hope), until Majors shares his intentions to ask Amy out on a date. Meanwhile, Charles and Gina try to convince Terry to stay at the Nine-Nine when he considers accepting an offer to work at a private security firm.

See how Jake reacts to Det. Majors’ interest in Amy tonight on FOX at 8:30/7:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, Spring Baking Championship, Battle Creek, & Cutthroat Kitchen.
