unforgettable2016smallI was so glad that A&E brought Unforgettable when I was sure it was going to be canceled after the last season ended. And this season has been great, even with the cast changes. I miss Eliot (Dallas Roberts) and Joanne (Jane Curtin) especially, but Alani “La La” Anthony as Delina the M.E., Kathy Najimy as Sandra the boss, and E.J. Bonilla as cutie Denny have been great additions. In the latest episode, the body of a young woman was found buried on the beach, and Carrie and Al found and arrested her killer and his accountant (or so they thought). Unfortunately, they were shot at and had to take cover from the bad guys and the coming hurricane in Precinct 51, which was closed for renovation with only an administrative assistant and a green cop (on the job literally four days) on the premises. The bad guys found them, but Denny and Jay drove through the storm to back them up, and they were able to take all the bad guys down, including the accountant…who turned out to be the actual big bad boss. I loved at the end when they met at the boardwalk and Carrie gave out shots to everyone, toasting to Al and to the others for coming to their assistance.

Tonight was supposed to be the two episodes leading up to next week’s final two of the season, but A&E decided to air four episodes tonight, which includes the season finale. I’m hoping that doesn’t mean that it’s the final episode of the SERIES, although since we haven’t heard any renewal news yet and they’re airing four episodes in one night, I have a feeling that news won’t be good. I really hope we get some resolution tonight on a few things. One, Carrie and Al. They’ve been hinting off and on all season that there’s something going on, although they’re either not exclusive or not serious or something, what with her (now ex) husband showing up a few times and their kiss. I WANT to see Carrie and Al kiss and become official, darn it! Also, I would love to get some resolution to Carrie’s sister’s murder. That story line has been a big part of her history since episode one.

On tonight’s first episode, “Game On,” when a young man turns up dead inside a popular haunted-house attraction, Carrie and Al are called in to investigate and soon find themselves in a world of high-stakes video games and hi-tech corporate espionage. Then on the second episode, “About Face,” when a hot lead turns up in a cold case of a missing surgeon, Carrie and Al find themselves on the trail of two con artists. But unmasking the truth may have explosive consequences.

On the third episode, “Bad Company,” when Captain Russo is suspected in the murder of an informant, Carrie and Al enter into a cat-and-mouse game with a crooked former cop. And finally, on the season finale, “Paranoid Android,” when a shooter on the loose triggers a flashback that doesn’t add up with Carrie’s perfect memory, the team at Major Crimes discovers that a nefarious conspiracy is at play and trained killers are among them.

Enjoy the mini-marathon and see how the season (possibly series?) ends tonight on A&E starting at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing MasterChef: Junior, American Diner Revival, Hawaii Five-0, Hell’s Kitchen, Blue Bloods, & Burgers, Brew & ‘Que.

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!

unforgettable1127smallMegan and Kyle are taking today off for the long holiday weekend, but because tonight is the season premiere of Unforgettable, I wanted to post. I was so sad when it looked like this show wouldn’t be back, but thankfully A&E picked it up. (I’m hoping for a better outcome than we got with The Glades!) There are some changes, mainly to the cast. Tawny Cypress, Dallas Roberts, and (even more sadly) Jane Curtin are out, while joining Poppy Montgomery, Dylan Walsh, and James Hiroyuki are Alani “La La” Anthony, E.J. Bonilla, and Kathy Najimy. I’m not sure why there were cast changes, but I’ll miss the others (Dallas Roberts and Jane Curtin especially).

Going into this new season on the new network, I have to wonder… Will Carrie and Al finally become a couple (again for them, but for the first time for us viewers)? Will the mystery of Carrie’s sister finally be solved completely? I can’t wait to find out!

On tonight’s first episode, “Blast from the Past,” Eddie Martin, Carrie’s long-lost husband, pays a visit to Major Crimes while investigating a meth crew that is involved in something more nefarious than dealing drugs.

Then on the second episode, “Gut Check,” Carrie and Al are assigned to transport the star witness in a high-profile securities fraud case to Miami, while attempting to evade the killers on their trail. Rachel Dratch guest stars.

To catch the start of the new season, tune in for back-to-back episodes on A&E at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, MasterChef: Junior, & American Diner Revival.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 9/14/14

Posted on September 14, 2014 by , and

Welcome to a new week for TV. There are a ton of finales this week because we’re gearing up to the new fall season—which actually begins this week with a few shows. As for tonight, we’re here to give you our recommendations out of the myriad of choices, so check it out!

Jenny’s Choice

unforgettable914smallTonight is two new episodes of Unforgettable, which includes the season finale. I’m really very sad about that because I love this show. It hasn’t been renewed yet, but I have my fingers crossed that it’ll be back next summer! Last week, a woman who worked for a famous matchmaker was killed. But they kept uncovering secrets, which led to more suspects and motives. My favorite part was seeing Carrie use her memory to talk to the men at the matchmaker’s place, convincing them one by one that they knew her and getting them to leave to “meet her” somewhere, until the owner finally agreed to give them the info they were searching for.

I’d love to see Carrie & Al get together—or at least share a kiss!—before the end of the season, but we’re down to the last chance, and I’m not sure it’s going to happen. She’s been seeing the Secret Service guy, and while he isn’t a bad guy, I’m a huge Al & Carrie shipper, darnit! So I’ve got my fingers crossed, but I’m not holding my breath…

Finally, CBS is upping the start times for their Sunday night shows by 30 minutes, which means hopefully we won’t have to wait—or at least as long—because of football overruns, so pay attention to the time below!

On tonight’s first episode, “Moving On,” Carrie and Al delve into the disturbing – and dangerous – world of celebrity obsession when a television star is found murdered in his dressing room. Then on the season finale, “DOA,” Carrie is unable to utilize her perfect memory when an assassin doses her with a deadly poison that attacks her brain, leaving Al on a desperate hunt for the antidote.

See how the season ends and if we get some Carrie & Al coupledom tonight on CBS at 9:30/8:30c & 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Rachael vs Guy: Kids Cook-Off, The Great Food Truck Race, Cutthroat Kitchen, Hungry Investors, & Pressure Cooker.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 6/29/14

It’s a big night for TV, which is good because that’s the perfect way to wrap up the weekend. So do what I plan to do: Grab your family, friends, pets, or just curl up on the couch with a blanket and the remote and relax while you check out the shows we’re recommending.

Jenny’s Choice #1

recklesssmallMy first pick tonight is the series premiere of Reckless. The show is set in Charleston, S.C., where a gorgeous Yankee litigator and a charming southern attorney must hide their intense mutual attraction as a police sex scandal threatens to tear the city apart. It stars Anna Wood, Cam Gigandet (who looks SO HOT in this, it pretty much renders me stupid), Shawn Hatosy, Adam Rodriguez, Georgina Haig, Kim Wayans, Gregory Harrison, and Michael Gladis.

I’ve seen the first couple of episodes, and I just gotta say it’s really great. It’s hot, sexy, frustrating, and more, with lots of twists that you don’t see coming. I’ve been waiting over a month for it to finally air, so I’m excited to see the first two episodes again so I can start with the new ones!

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” when defense attorney Jamie Sawyer is hired by disgraced cop Lee Anne Marcus in the wake of a sex scandal involving the local police department, she finds herself facing off against Roy Rayder, the newly appointed City Attorney.

See if you can survive the heat tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/9/14

Posted on May 9, 2014 by , and

I am running out of nails to bite as I watch all my favorite shows near the end of their seasons, and yes, I am aware of how co-dependent I sound. On a bright note, finales mean great TV, so before I change my mind and decide not to watch anymore TV (okay, we know THAT won’t happen), let’s see what we’re recommending tonight.

Megan’s Choice #1

hawaiifiveo59smallThe first finale that’s up for me tonight is Hawaii Five-0, and I am getting my tissues ready for this one. Last week’s episode had me so emotional, watching Catherine try to save the boy of an Afghan family who saved her life back when she was in the service. Of course, Steve went with her, but ended up being captured as he used himself as a diversion for Catherine to rescue a van full of children. Eventually, the cavalry came and helped save Steve, which resulted in Steve and Danny having another sweet moment in their bromance. Unfortunately, Steve and Danny were forced to leave Afghanistan without Catherine, and she decided to stay to look for the boy, who was still missing, by herself. There was a really emotional conversation between Steve and Catherine that had them both saying “I love you,” which means Catherine had better not get herself killed because Steve won’t be able to handle that. I am actually quite nervous for tonight’s episode and hope that there are some loose ends tied up as well. Unfortunately, Michelle Borth, who plays Catherine, won’t be on the show next year, at least not as a series regular, so…

On tonight’s episode, “‘O ka Pili ‘Ohana ka ‘Oi,” Grover’s daughter is kidnapped by an old nemesis, he is forced to help steal $100 million in order to get her back. Meanwhile, Wo Fat escapes prison and heads back to Oahu. Nick Jonas & Mark Dascascos guest star.

To see what consequences come out of this sticky situation, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.
