A Twist in the Act: Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Cure to Loneliness"

This week's case deals with a death of a cancer patient that look like a suicide, but there's a twist that will have you going "what?!"

Laura gets a call of a cancer patient, who from the look of everything in the apartment look like it was suicide, but that's what Jake and everyone else thought. Laura thought it was murder, apparently she was right.

The victim didn't have cancer at all. She was pretending to have cancer so she could have friends and do something meaningful. But someone caught her in the act and helped her performance by make-up and such.

Going through suspects, the victim's best friend, junkie who Billy chased but fell from the roof by jumping. It turned out to be the food delivery guy, Ted Burns who has been playing and stealing money from cancer patients for years.

This episode had such a good twist. I love how Laura stands her ground and keeps going for what she believes to be the truth.

Of course, Santiani and Diamond butted heads, but makes the relationship seem so bold. And I can't leave out that Jake's hiding a secret from the rest, popping pills. Something to watch out for in the future.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

Once in the Family, Always in the Family: Chicago PD "Life is Fluid" Season Premiere

Chicago PD is back and the premiere did not disappoint at all.

Antonio's intelligent was about to jump off because of her brother and what he's in with a top Heroine dealer. Hank and Company go and get her brother and interrogate him until he gives them some answers and help take down the kingpin.

In there to show proof, Halstead goes in as a buyer but it goes wrong within a minute and Halstead is taken hostage. The kingpin sends Voight a package with a phone and a dvd showing Halstead getting the crap beaten out of him.

The kingpin makes an arrangement to Hank that he wants all the CI files and have a female officer bring it. Well, Voight went to talk to an old friend Eddie, who apparently has a job when he gets out in a couple of months. Voight ask for a name that can help them find where the kingpin stays.

In the meantime, Erin is out partying, drinking and don't have a care in the world. But deep down inside her, she still wants to be back with the CPD. She wouldn't repeat what Halstead asked her that she doesn't want to be his partner anymore.

But things turn when Al calls Erin and tells her about the situation and she heads back to the house and wants to help. Voight wasn't too please to see her and but gives her back her badge.

Erin goes out bring the CI files that are fake and awaits for the guys to come. Halstead wasn't with them so they brought Erin to him.

Erin and the kingpin have a chat and when things don't go the right way, Halstead was going to get it until Erin stabs one of the members multiple times and still fights with him til he's dead. Halstead tries knocking out the kingpin til Erin grabs him and than takes a shot at him. He sees a gun in his desk and head towards it and Erin kills him.

You can see the fear but also the sparkle in her eye that she wants to come back. She does talk to Voight about rejoining the team, but only on his rules that she stays with him, take rapid drug test and cut all ties with her mother.

Looks like she might go for it. Also can't forget to mention, Burgess and Roman gets in a discussion about marriage of two cops, but she doesn't care she'll take the risk. But Burgess finds a syringe that fell out of Roman's backpack, something of concern: what is he doing with that?

And of course, from the end of last season, we found out that Al has another daughter and she's in jail. In this episode, she gets out help from Al but doesn't stay and gets a ride from a guy. But I think she'll be back soon.

This episode was not a disappointment at all. It starts off fast and ended on a very good note to start the season. Sophia Bus gives a great performance.

I wonder what Halstead will be like after this event blow over. What the heck is with Roman and is syringe. And who is Eddie and what job will he be having with Voight when he gets out?

I can't wait to see where this season will be going. It looks like it's going to be a very good season.

Overall I give this episode a 9/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Tuesday Night Premiere Comedies & Screaming Drama

Scream Queens:  "Chainsaw"

The search for the killer is on. For Gracie and Pete they might be closer to who it might be. 

This episode had a lot of throwback themes from film and music. One of them that stood out was when Chad and his gang went out on revenge to get the Red Devil killer for killing Boone. The song "Everybody" by Backstreet Boys was playing and it was literally hilarious and ridiculous as they were hitting a fire hydrogen and a red car. 

Now there's two killers out there dress up as Red Devils. So there might be a duo that's doing this. Maybe Chanel #2 and Boone. 

I couldn't get enough air time with Deam Munsch and Gigi as they are in love with Gracie's father, Wes. They had a nice conversation in the tennis court and Munsch decides that they will be staying in the capa house for a week.

In one scene, Munsch was about to go to bed but turns on the white noise machine and made Gigi sleep down stairs. Well, as she sleeps, the Red Devil appears with a chainsaw and tries attacking Gigi until Wes comes in and tries stopping it. But it was Gigi that kick the Devil over the couch. But it disappeared before anyone could stop it. 

Billie Lord as Chanel #3 is pretty good on this show. Her character spells a secret that her real dad is Charlie Manson. Also this could be Lea Michele best work as Hester. Hester might be dumb and obsess but she might be smart enough to cause trouble between Chanel and Chanel #5. 

This episode had a lot more humor than drama. There was a lot of good character development and performances from this cast was really good. 

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Scream Queens Tuesday nights at 9/8c on FOX  

Grandfathered & The Grinder "Pilot"

Two legendary actors come back to television in one of their best work since well the last best thing that they've done.

Let's start with Grandfathered, about a womanizer man who tries to win everyone's charm with his top fancy restaurant. Until he gets awake up call from his 25 year old son along with another surprise...a granddaughter. 

John Stamos is amazing in this role. He's best since Full House as a comedy but I can't forget that he was also great in ER as well. There are some similarities between his character and Uncle Jessie when you see the montage of him spending time with his granddaughter. 

Overall I enjoyed and it might be one of the best new shows of the fall. 

The other comedy is The Grinder and it stars Rob Lowe. 

It about how a television star that just ended a hit show about being a lawyer, comes back to visit with his family. His little brother, played by Fred Savage, is a lawyer is not a very good one at first. He literally has to read cards when presenting. It's so awkward and hilarious. But when Lowe's character helps his brother with a case, something that he has no knowledge about, it becomes a helpful and great media coverage. 

In the end, the two will join forces and work together to fight for justice. 

I very much enjoyed this show. There were so many great moments from Lowe's character acting like his character on television, Savage being the dorky brother lashes out his feelings in writing them down in cards. 

This is Lowe's best work since Parks and Recreation. But nothing should very top that show so I would just say that it's a second best thing Lowe has done since Parks. 

Overall I give Grandfathered a 9/10 and The Grinder a 9.5/10.

You can catch Grandfathered and The Grinder Tuesday nights at 8/7c on FOX.  

Life in Pieces "Interruptus Date Breast Movin"

It may be awkward at times, but it's hilarious. I don't think I could have laughed so much at a family in an extended period. This week's episode of Life in Pieces indeed was good, if not better.

The first story starts with Joan calling in a family meeting after Matt walks in on her and John making out during Charlie Rose. It leads to a one-on-one of each member speaking at the moment.

The second story calls it a double whammy for Matt when he's on a second date with Colleen. The card did not want to start, so they went to a Mexican seafood place and to Colleen's wedding party, for which they spent the evening using it.

The third story was hilarious at most when Greg and Jen were going through breastfeeding difficulties. Jen doesn't seem to pump well and gets help from some organic folks who think using formula is a crime. But the hilarious and crazy part came when the couple mentioned they were brother and sister. Oh yeah.

And the final story comes to Heather and Tim moving to another home close to John and Joan. Matt helps packing, but they hired a moving company that has former criminals help as a community service. The issue is that they found so many drugs around the house, and when they saw it, they had to blow their whistle.

Just before they arrived at their new home, the kids wanted to take their dead pets with them. Matt and Tim dug them up and placed them in a pool or dirt over the car.

This episode was hilarious from the beginning to the end. I felt that this was Matt's episode because of his involvement with the family. I couldn't get enough of each of the stories.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Monday nights at 8:30/7:30c on CBS  

NBC orders Back Nine Episodes of Blindspot

Blindspot was last week's #1 New Drama and much talked about.

After the premiere, Hollywood Reporter reports that NBC has picked up the back nine scripts of the show, making it a full season.

The series premiered earned a 10.6 million total viewers and a 3.1 rating in the demo, making it one of NBC's best rating in that time slot since last season's opener of The Blacklist. Not to mention that it retaning  82% of it's rating numbers following The Voice.

Blindspot "A Stray Howl"

The question still lingers and will be for quite some time, who is Jane Doe? After capturing the man that was going to blow up the Statue of Liberty apparently died before talking to the FBI about what he knows or who Jane is.

The only clue that they have is a mysterious doctor who is actually the mysterious breaded man who we see in the flashbacks of Jane's. But soon Weller and the team move on when Patterson found another clue in the tattoos. A clue that would lead to the beginning to a hunt to stop Major Arther Gibson, a mad man and a secret military drone.

Gibson uses the military's own drone to seek revenge because he had killed while operating a drone int he past. And not to mention that Gibson kidnapped a friend's daughter for ransom too.

Weller and Jane go after him at an abandoned warehouse where a shoot out comes between Gibson and Weller. But the really cool scene came when Jane was car chasing Gibson.

Along with this, we got to learn a bit of Weller like his sister and her child are staying with him for a bit. His father is in jail because he was accused for kidnapping a missing girl that  Weller thinks it Jane Doe.

Jane gets flashbacks of killing a nun in a church. Also failing during a shooting practice with the mysterious breaded man.

But by the end, as Jane was about to take a shower, she gets a surprise from what looks like the mysterious breaded man.

This episode was simply astounding. There were excellent scenes from the car chasing to the flashbacks. Learning a little bit more of each of the main characters from Weller and Jane. Could Jane Doe be that of the missing girl? She doesn't look the age that the missing child would be.

It was well written and just kept everything on the go go go.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Here's next week's promo.

The X-Files "The Truth Is Still Out There" Promo (HD)

Sunday Night Premiere & Series Finale

Sunday night was a night of premieres and a series finale to one historic television series.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine "New Captain" 

In the season three premiere the show returns with a new look in the department as Captain Holt was transferred to another department. The nine-nine is gets their new captain, Seth Dozerman, played by Bill Hader.

Dozerman doesn't want any playful or wasteful of work time in his department, He not only suffers from one heart attack but two and dies after his second day on the job.

Meanwhile for Holt, his assignment for his new job was to help out decide what name fits the best for their mascot, a pigeon.  But I couldn't get enough of Bureau Chief Wuntch making Holt's first day a living hell. Even when Holt had to be the mascot and the look he had when the head was put on, was just hilarious.

Also can't leave out that Jake and Amy are in a relationship but trying to follow the rules but also breaking them as well. Trying not the let others know that they are together just seemed more trouble than just telling them. Even if it did cause Captain Dozerman to die of a heart attack.

But with Dozerman gone, a new Captain is set and his name is Pembroke.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.


You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine Sunday nights at 8:30/7:30c on FOX

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: "Immortally" 

This is just a reflection of the series itself and some remarks on the series finale of one of television's best crime investigation series. The series comes to a close after 15 years on television changing the way crime series does their science.

In the finale, Grissom, Wiliows and Brass comes back to the series for one last investigation. A series of bombers are attacking around Las Vegas and it brings everyone together to find a familiar face who's the suspect, Dr. Kessler.

In order to find her, they bring back Grissom to help. And boy does the sparks go off when Sidle and him seen each other for the first time in awhile.

It turns out that it wasn't Kessler who had sent the bombers. But a former patient of her's who grow too emotional to her thinking that he was the one for her. But with Grissom's smart tactic on talking to him down.

The series ends with new chapters, goodbyes and happy ends. D.B. is moving to DC for next week's season premiere of CSI Cyber. Wiliow is staying in Vegas and hopes to take the director of the department if Sadle wasn't going to take it.

But as for Sara and Grissom. they are out to sea on their adventure together, where they belong.

I was never a fan of the original series. But i did catch a few episodes from time to time. I will admit that it's a landmark series and just like Law & Order and even ER the series will live in history.

And now the series lives on in CSI Cyber, which again premieres next Sunday at 10/9c on CBS.

BONES | Speechless | FOX BROADCASTING

Bones returns Thursday, Oct. 1st at 8/7c on FOX

"Just the Same Old, Same Old" Doctor Who "The Witch's Familiar "

"The Witch's Familiar" didn't disappoint. Here's my recap/review!

First, how did Clara and Missy stay alive after being exterminated by the Daleks? They were transported thanks to the timey wimey that they carry. The Doctor always is one step ahead of everyone.

In the beginning, I didn't know if I should trust Missy, but after this episode, I didn't after what she had Clara do and near the end. But I couldn't help but like her because she's a bit wacky and wrong, and who doesn't like a character like that? I do!

For heaven's sake, Missy had Clara in an actual Dalek—a little familiar to that part.

The conversation with Darvos was brilliantly well-written and performed. I thought they were having a real moment when Darvos had his hand on the Doctor and showed his eyes. But that turned blank due to being a trap to take the Doctor's regeneration energy and use it for himself and the Daleks to make them strong.

The problem is that there are a bunch of Daleks underneath the facility that caused destruction. Trying to leave, the Doctor spots the Dalek, who has Clara inside. He asks it why it's coming and threatens if it says that Clara is dead. Missy, on the other hand, tells him that that's the Dalek that killed Clara.

I was on the edge of my seat, hoping that there was some way for Clara to get out of there so the Doctor didn't have to kill her. The word "mercy" was spoken, and the Doctor told it to open its body. Clara is in there, and the Doctor's look expresses that he wanted to kill Missy but instead told her to run.

Run she did and was caught by the Daleks.

In the end, the Doctor returned and rescued the young Darvos from the mine's hands and told him the meaning of mercy, which came in handy before.

This episode had a lot of great moments. From the Doctor and Darvos to the adventures of Clara and Missy, who didn't like watching the Doctor ride on Darvos' chair? That was the best entrance to a bunch of Daleks I've ever seen.

The best quote of the episode is, "Oh, the same old, same old, just the Doctor and Clara Oswald in the TARDIS. It was the best!!!

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights on BBC America.

The Stakes Are Higher: Thursday Night Premiere Night

Heroes Reborn: "Brave New World" & "Odessa" 

We've been waiting for this premiere since the surprising short trailer came out during the 2014 Winter Olympics. Heroes was a breakout hit when it premiered 10 years ago but dwindled in ratings after being on the air for four seasons. Now the show is back with a reboot look too it.

The series starts out with both humans and Evos ( people who are evolution with powers) coming together until a bomb was drop and destroyed humans and evos but it caused a lot of trouble when a year later that anyone who's an Evo are being hunted down.

We get a familiar introduction to the Evos and other characters just like the first season of the series. Noah Bennent is back with a fresh new life but lost his daughter in the bombing. Seems to have forgotten the things that happen before Claire's death (or is she really dead?). When Quentin follows Noah and discuss about the Evos and how they need to save the world. They soon work together to try to get information on one person Emily Walker.

There are some characters that are interesting to watch. One is Tommy Clark who has powers to teleport  people to where he is thinking . Along with his crush interest Emily. And also Miko Otomo who has almost the same storyline as Hiro from the regular series of how she's meant to save the world and that she's a character in the comic book as a ninja.

I shouldn't forget that Zachary Levi is playing a great bad ass character. Levi's character Luke Collins, is a dark and seeking revenge the Evos that have killed his son. Hunting down with his wife shooting them down one by one.

This series brings in how one society hates the other and wants them gone for good. And with an event that's soon to be coming, the world will need these heroes soon.

I was amazed from the characters at times. This show seems a lot better from when I last watched the series.

Overall, I give this two hour premiere a 9/10.

You can catch Heroes Reborn Thursday nights at 8/7c on NBC

The Player: "Pilot"

The buzzed about series, The Player gives a lot of action pack adventures of the criminal world of how it's about one thing gambling.

When a cool, edge and handsome FBI agent becomes a security expert, Alex Kane, stops an attacker from killing a high profile resident and soon loses his ex-wife because of a set up. But when a the Dealer Cassandra King comes to his rescue not once but twice and takes him the Mr. Johnson, the pit boss.

Mr. Johnson played by Wesley Snipes, offers Kane a job to be the player in a high stakes crime stopper. There are people that place bets on whether he succeeds or not. The only issue that he can't use any help expect from Cassandra who by the way is one of the best characters in the series along with Snipes.

As I said this series is a high stakes action crime drama. There's more action and some dialogue and some mystery to whether who killed Alex's ex wife and adds to what does Cassandra have any connection to being with his ex.

From the pilot, it was very much enjoyable and very entertaining. I love awesome action scenes in series and this one doesn't hold back at all.

Overall, I give the pilot episode a 8/10.

You catch The Player Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC

Heroes: Reborn: "Show is Designed for New and Old Viewers Alike"

Tonight is the premiere of the 2 hour event of Heroes: Reborn at 8/7c on NBC.

He replied, "Abolutely. Former fans will enjoy nods to the past. But show is designed for new and old viewers alike."

I can't wait for the series to start. I know that I will probably miss tonight's live premiere but I'll be watching it late tonight anyway.

You can catch the premiere of Heroes: Reborn tonight at 8/7c on NBC.

Changes Come: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Taken Boy"

In the season premiere of The Mysteries of Laura starts off big, changes come to a the squad and a missing boy is kidnapped for different reason than you would think.

The case this week starts out from a hit and run when a man at a park warns kids to get out of the way from a runaway taxi cab, that hits the man and kills him. Laura and the team investigates that the comes to find out that he was on his way to fixing his life.

Billy and Meredith search for the taxi cab, which they found all burned but came across a damaged camera that had its chip in it and found out that the boy was a target. Laura and Jake get there too late.

The new captain of the department Capt. Nancy Santiani is a very different character and demands the people that work in her department to keep the volume of talking down. Laura doesn't like her at all and it's not all rainbows and sunshine with her.

Things don't go the way Laura wants it, but when they realize that the parents of the missing boy turns out that he was adopted illegally. The kidnapper made a ransom for money with the parents, Laura and the team try to ambush them but you just can't get rid of the mother's instant. Besides the boy had hours til he need his insulin shot.

After grabbing the guy who was to take the money, Laura gets the final clue that sister of the missing boy had an encounter with the dead victim when they were in rehab.  Jack and Billy get there in time to rescue the boy and give him his insulin shot.

This episode was really good starting off and ended really good. Changes do come to the squad, one of them Frankie is gone because to Santiani she didn't have the seniority of a detective. Also the look of the department looks very different. And it seems that Laura and Jack seem to get along very well and that these two might get back together. They're love for each other doesn't seem to go away.

I like where this new season starts and can't wait to see where it will go. I know that the series is taking a more of a turn of more crime solving and less on the family matters.  I love the battle between Laura and Nancy. And the chemistry of this cast is still amazing to watch.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch "The Mysteries of Laura" Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC

Scream Queens "Pilot" & "Hell Week"

It's funny and scary but did I mention funny? Scream Queens the latest new series from the creator of Glee and American Horror Story series hits with such a story that it feels like it's mashed up of AHS, Mean Girls and Scream.

When a sorority party goes wrong as a student was killed, twenty years later revenge comes a calling to the campus, but who is the red devil murderer? This series had me hook not from the first scene of the episode but when Emma Roberts was introduce. Playing this mean girl sorority queen that doesn't seem to have an emotion expect fear when the killer comes around.

In the second episode, we get to watch the girls who are trying to get into the sorority, having to go through some tough challenges known as hell week. And along with that they are also trying to keep each other alive.

There's plenty of murders in the first two episodes. But after watching the last scene of the second episode, are some of these students really dead?

Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing in this series as Dean Cathy Munsch. She doesn't like the sorority that Robert's character the president. Curtis is funny and gives some hints that maybe she could be the murderer. I couldn't get enough of watch Curtis hitting on Gracie's father.

There are a few cinematic camera work that gives this series a bit of a feel of AHS. There's so much comedy in this dramatic series that I can't figure that if it's funny or not and some of the jokes did kind of went through my head anyway.

But I can not lie that I did enjoy the series. The mystery has me so interested in who the killer is and who will die.

Overall, I give the "Pilot" a 7.5/10 and "Hell Week" a 8/10.

You can catch "Scream Queens" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on FOX.

Michael: Broken Down and Transferring

There are Still Moments Left: Life in Pieces "Pilot"

One of this fall's new comedies is about a family in four stories.

Life in Pieces is a chapter of the Short family, each dealing with their family moments from dating, having a baby, and celebrating a d birthday.

The show starts dry with Matt on a date and meeting Colleen's ex-fiance. Soon, they got to Matt's place, his parent's place. That led them to have sex in the car but was stopped by a cop who thought Colleen was a hooker.

The following story was of Greg and Jen having a baby and dealing with delivery. But it was after that Jen was to not look under the equator for six weeks because it wouldn't look pretty. She did look and described it as what the Predator looked like when he took his mask off—funny, but has a lousy image.

The next one was of Heather and her family as they dropped off her son to experience college. Being the mother she is, a helicopter mother. After dropping off their son, they head into the hotel and argue about Santa not being honest.

The children are funny in this scene. One had to stay in the bathroom, and the little one was smart enough to take some air and go into the closet to take in all the realism.

And finally, the last story was of John and Joan Short, who threw a funeral theme birthday party. It was weird at first but hilarious at times when each of their kids gave a eulogy to him. But it was til Joan didn't like it, and the family had a bit of time together, and John tells them that he doesn't think he has any more time for those family moments. Those are those little happy moments that come and go.

In the end, John gets into his casket, but Joan knocks on the door and is stuck in the coffin. The family races him out to get him out.

The show is hilarious at times. Some dry moments weren't able to get as funny, but I think this show has the benefit of the doubt to be a perfect family comedy. Dianne Wiest is hilarious as the mother, and so is Besty Brandt. Colin Hanks has a funny role, too.

Overall, I give the pilot episode 8.5/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Monday nights at 8:30/7:30 on CBS.

Michael: Truck Problem

Blindspot "Pilot"

Thrilling. Intriguing. On the edge of my seat at times. These come to mind when watching the series premiere of NBC's Blindspot.

The series is about a mysterious woman found in a bag in Times Square; she freaks out the FBI team on who she is and why Agent Kurt Weller has his name tattooed on her back along with others. The team figures out that Jane Doe was drugged with a substance that has made her forget her past.

But when one of the tattoos sparks something, Weller and the team take on a suspect who might know something; it turns out the suspect will plan an explosion of the Statue of Liberty for family reasons.

Jane goes out on the field to help with Weller, who doesn't think it's a good idea. But that changed my mind pretty quickly.

We do get to see some background of who Jane was, like learning how to shoot a gun and also getting drugged by the mysterious breaded man. Who asked the question, what was she doing this for? What was she hiding?

This series started terrific. I was on the edge of my seat at times. The show brings a bit of The Blacklist and Jason Borne.

Jaimie Alexander, who plays Jane Doe, performs excellently, mainly in the outstanding fight scenes. Also, I can't say enough about Sullivan Stapleton as FBI Agent Weller. I'm very much interested to see where this series will be going and who Jane Doe was.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Blindspot on Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC

Michael: Riding Together

Michael: The Doctors and Dalek

Doctor Who "The Magician's Apprentice Season Premiere

The season nine premiere was not a disappointment. It was marvelous, with a shocking twist.

The Doctor tries to rescue a child during one of the wars, but when he asks the kid his name, it turns out to be one of the most mistakable rescues of his time-traveling life. The kid turns out to be Davros, the creator of the Daleks.

Running from the problem and landing in 1158 AD about to battle, the Doctor mistakes the ax battle for the guitar battle, which was the best scene in the episode. To see the Doctor rockin' the guitar on a tank was hilarious and awesome.

With the Doctor hiding, Missy has been looking for him and tried to draw attention to Clara and U.N.I.T. with every plane in the air frozen. I couldn't tell if Missy was as bad as she should be or as good as she could be. It seemed weird to see Clara and Missy working together.

They traveled to find the Doctor and soon went with him to Dravos, but the man that the Doctor was going to fight was not a natural person. He turns out to be a Dalek and took the TARDIS. It turned out that where they were was not in a spaceship, but in the worst place the Doctor ever would want to be in, Skaro. Again, that was another shocking moment in this episode.

Missy and Clara find the TARDIS, but the Daleks are about to destroy it. Missy tries to negotiate a deal with them to take the TARDIS, but that turns out to be a no, and she's gone. Clara talks to them, too, but has no success, too, and is gone just like Missy.

Doctor, who watched them get destroyed, seems upset, but Dravos wants him to say the words of defeat. Of course, Dravos has no power over the Daleks; as he put it, they are just like kids.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, which sets up next week's episode pretty much at a high point.

I thought that this was an excellent season opener. I might have loved this opener better than last season's opener. But I felt Capaldi was fantastic, and Jenna Coleman worked well with Michelle Gomez.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

RUMOR: Jenna Coleman Leaves Doctor Who After Series 9

Rumor is spreading around social media that Doctor Who's companion Jenna Coleman is leaving the series after it's ninth series.

Just saying that it's only rumors but according to Mashable that Coleman is leaving to do an eight-part series about Queen Victoria. Trading up the TRADIS for royalty that must give Queen Elizabeth a smile since Coleman is also rumored to be in a relationship with Prince Harry.

I've been a big fan of Coleman when she joined the series during it's seventh season. And as moved up on my list as my favorite Doctor Who companion at #1 passing Amy Pond, Romana, Sarah Jane Smith, Rose, Maratha and Peri Brown.

I really don't want to say goodbye to Clara Oswald.

Well, looks like school will be out forever for the freshmen NBC's series Mr. Robinson.

TVLine had conformed that NBC "has pulled the plug" on Craig Robinson's sitcom about musician becoming a substitute teacher that dreams of becoming a music star.

But there's some good news out of this, the network has renewed a second season of The Carmichael Shows, which aired as part of the NBC's summer lineup.

Both shows aired six episodes with Mr. Robinson drew a total of 4.2 viewers with a 1.0 rating then followed to a 3.4 million and 0.9, which hits it's series low.

The Carmichael Show "Guns"/"Prayers" Season Finale

The season finale of The Carmichael Show was as it premiered two weeks ago. The show started off strong and hilarious and ending it just the same.

In the "Prayer", the family deal with the difference of religion as Maxine isn't Christian. It drew Jerrod's mother to get them to go to church after an embarrassing night with the family Reverend.

This episode hit the mark not only comedy but also the discussion of respecting other religions. Something that's been an issue at times.

The other episode in this one hour finale, "Guns" dealt the issue of having a gun. When Maxine found a gun in the sock drawer, she doesn't like it one bit and takes it back to Jerrod's dad.

Jerrod come to realize that having a gun gives power to the person. This is after he accidentally shot his dad in the foot.

Each episode had both told excellent stories but also gave a great discussion the these issues. I certainly enjoyed watching this series. It's not only funny but smart and very well done.

This series deserves a second season. If I had to a choice between Mr. Robinson and The Carmichael Show, I would take Carmichael. Even though I do think that Mr. Robinson could use some re-tweaking.

Overall, I give "Prayer" a 9/10 and "Guns" a 10/10.

You can catch episodes of The Carmichael Show or NBC.com.

The Blacklist Season 3: "Will Have a Different Feel"

Here's the promo for the Third Season.

With the new season of The Blacklist just four weeks away, it won't be the same show that we're use to after two seasons.

Executive Producer John Elsendrath tells TVLine that this season will "still be delivering blacklisters" and that it will stay true with it's procedural roots and mentioned that the James Spader series "will have a different feel in it's new season after the events of the season finale in last May.

To make a quick recap, Liz Keen shot down Attorney General Tom Connolly at the end of Season Two, becoming a fugitive with Red. Her photo is now on the FBI's Most Wanted list. And she's being hunted down by her former colleagues that's led by Agent Ressler, who's leading the task force.

"That's going to cause a lot of tension between those on the task force, each of whom has a very specific point of view about the value of (arresting Liz," Elsendrath says. "Ressler is a dogged, by-the-book guy who is going to bring (Liz and Red) in. At the same time, we have found opportunities for Red and Liz to convince the FBI that one of the best ways to keep track of them is to assist them in going after certain blacklisters, who Red and Liz are going after in order to exonerate Liz."

The creator of the series, Jon Bokenkamp says that Season 3 won't be a complete reinvention of the series, but "it is a great shot of adrenaline. There's a real energy and urgency, and it came from an organic place."

But with that being said the producer  are in no rush to address the many questions of the show from Red's relationship with Liz, that has been the main question from the audience in the past two seasons.

"We will give hints. There will be echoes of questions that we will bring up about (Liz's) mother," said Elsendrath. "We will infuse the episodes with some of that, but a lot of the beginning is, 'What's happening now? How are they going to escape Ressler? Are they going to avoid capture?'"

Bokenkamp adds that "I understand that there's an appetite to want the whole truth. But the whole truth won't come until the end, and along the way, many breadcrumbs have been laid out. We're definitely working toward an endgame."
