Tuesday Night: Two Comedies and a Drama

I think that I'm going to start doing one blog with three recap/reviews of Tuesday night's shows. It's not that I don't like writing up every show but I think it would save some time. So Tuesday night has become a four show night on NBC with The Voice at 8/7c, the series premiere of Marry Me at 9/8c, the season premiere of About A Boy at 9:30/8:30c and Chicago Fire at 10/9c.



Marry Me: Pilot 


Is a new series on NBC a comedy by the creator of "Happy Endings." The pilot is about how two couple, Anne and Jake, who have been dating for over five years and after a trip that they just took, Anne gets upset that Jake did pop the question on their trip. She goes off for a good five minutes about how horrible it is and calling their friends in an insult way.

It was one of the best scenes in the episode. After that, Anne goes to Jake at his office and propose to him, mention the trip and all until Jake's boss heard and fired him because Jake told him that he was sick in the hospital.

During the time after the first and second proposals, we see flashbacks of Anne and Jake meeting at a restaurant where they first met.  And after a long night Jake is eating nachos supreme and get call from Anne asking if this was a sign that they shouldn't be together until he sees her at the same restaurant. Jake proposes to Anne one more time and the answer is....you just will have to find out.

I find this series to be very entertaining. It a way I see this series as a little bit of a pre Mad About You kind of show. In which I don't mind at all to watch it. I think that Casey Wilson and Ken Marino are hilarious as Anne and Jake. They do have some chemistry.

You can catch "Marry Me" on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC



About A Boy: About A Vasectomy
Where we last left off, Will has moved to New York City with his totally hot girlfriend doctor, Fiona and Marcus are by themselves in San Francisco as they try to move on without Will being there.

Now as season two premiered last night things have changed, we see Will running for the prefect bagel and found it at a local bagel shop who happens to have a meat-head of an owner, who just happens to be played by Rob Reiner.

As Will got his bagel, he then is video chatting with Marcus about the bagel and everything. Will then travels to San Francisco for business and pops in to see Fiona and Marcus.

That's when he sees them recreating Marcus's birth, in a weird way and because Fiona is a doula. Reminding me of what happen in this week's Mulaney.

Will was hoping to spend some time with Marcus until he learned that Marcus has a play date with some friends from school. But apparently they turn out to be bullies to him as they kept him away from his tree house and taking everything that he has in there like drinks and food. Plus making fun of his mom didn't do justice too.

Will sees that Marcus is in trouble and tries to convince Fiona that Marcus is being bullied. He spies on them and finally shows Fiona the truth. They deal with it and told the boys if they make fun of Marcus behind his back at school that he will do something bad.

Meanwhile another thing, Andy apparently didn't get a vasectomy that his wife thought he had gotten and thinks that his wife Laurie is pregnant. Blaming Will for it because Will told him not to get it.

Apparently Will is staying a bit longer in San Francisco because of what's been going around there since he came back. He seems to have miss all that is there and seems pretty much happy to be around Andy, Fiona and Marcus.

Could this be the end of his relationship with his awesome hot doctor girlfriend? Maybe. It does seem that he wants to come back home and stay with his own family.

You can catch "About A Boy" Tuesday nights 9:30/8:30c on NBC.








Chicago Fire: Apologies Are Dangerous
You never apologies for something that you think was bad. It will turn around and bite you in the ass, is which I got out of from this week's episode of "Chicago Fire."

Dawson starts her candidate duties, which means....kitchen duty and pranks! Everyone treating Dawson as every other candidate that has come through the open doors. We see her first action with a car on top of a guy in a car lot, Herrmann tells her to get  the jacks, which are in the truck but can't find the levers until Herrmann told her to improvise and cracks open the trunk of the car and gets one lever and she goes and fines the other.

Dawson was going to apologies to Casey but Herrmann stopped her and told her not to do it because it would be a risk to do so. She did it anyway and she and the rest of the crew were to do drills.

But she did earn her way after finding water source after all the fire hydrogen were cut off and helped save some of the girls in the building fire. They celebrated by having her drive the truck into the building but then as she turned the truck on, confetti popped out and turned out to be a prank. But after all she is the candidate, which means she has to clean the mess up.

One the another hand, Severide has been doing some late night partying at local bars. After having six Irish bombs, oh my god someone tell me this drink is good to have at least once, he leaves and goes on the L. Soon as he sits down the train stops and he hear gun shots firing. Soon passengers moves to the back and Severide moves to the front to see the situation.

There's a kid pointing a gun as the train conductor has a gun shot to the shoulder. Severide takes out the gunner and gets the conductor out of the train and they move out and into an area. Severide then grabs some stuff and starts a fire to get help, a tip that he had learn from Shay. The fire alarm goes off and the two gun men come and tries to take out them until the Chicago police came and stops them.

A couple of days later, the conductor stops by the firehouse and gives her thanks and a treat to Severide and told him to give her thanks to Shay. Which he told her that she had died. But it wasn't until the moment that she told him that she's not gone, that she's right there with him in his heart.

Hopefully with that talk and the talk that he had with Casey about losing someone he loved that he could move forward in the process. Who knows how long this would go for, I know it takes time to get over someone that you love.

Another thing that happen was that Britt isn't the runaway bride that we thought she said to be, but the other way around as the groom turned out to be. He come and apologized to her in front of the firehouse gang. She doesn't want to see him and that she doesn't want to get back at all as she's got a new life.

But after that, she starts the day with a new partner, Mils. Those two didn't see eye to eye after the building fire, which had fifteen girls come out and she was focusing on one, trying to save her but knew she wasn't going to make it. Mils gave Britt a bit of a warning that she needs to focus on what's the emergency at the moment.

I think we're seeing Severide in the moving process towards his grieving of the lost of Shay. It still hurts talking about only more than a couple of weeks since her death. Dawson seems to get into the groove of things after a bit of a rough first day, but she's Dawson she can make through things that are difficult to make.  She's a tough cookie to break, right?

You can catch "Chicago Fire" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
