Everything in 30: A.P. Bio "Wednesday Morning, 8 AM"

Sometimes its that last 30 minutes before school starts that's hectic. Here's a recap!

"Wednesday Morning, 8 AM" was one of the series brilliant episodes from the beginning to the end. Within the 30 minutes before classes start things become really hectic from Ralph getting the announcements correct to the janitor trying to find his peace but loses it when he has to battle bad pumping and even Jack getting his chair back from Lynette, who had taken it.

Each story from the episode was so brilliantly hilarious. I couldn't get enough of Ralph and Helen even more with Helen's scenes that were just hilarious even when the band members came in and she announced them as the hornies.

But it was the story between Jack and Lynette that really stole the episode to moments of great chemistry between Elizabeth Alderfer and Glenn Howerton. The two characters played off to one another great as he tries to get his chair and she plays him off with mind-blowing philosophy. After making his brilliant plan, she does return his chair but that was after he took something priceless of her off her desk. Which made an awkward moment for Jack.

I loved the episode. It was so beautifully written and had so much great character development. It's really an episode that you should put it on your list to watch. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Relationship Status: This Is Us "R&B"

Could this be the end of Beth and Randall's relationship? Here's a recap!

Last night's episode was not only another memorable one; it was a strong written one of showing the developments between Beth and Randall. We see not only how they first met in college; but that Randall was determined that Beth was the one. From college to fast forwarding to seven years as Randall still proposing to Beth, with her responding with a no.

Throughout the episode, we see a deep background of Randall and Beth's relationship; Randall had a way by guilting Beth whether it's getting married; that later turned when she takes Randall to her favorite place for him to the proposal; for which she said yes. Another when they worked things out together during their wedding when rewriting their own vows. Even when changing their first born's diaper and she tells Randall how he could in a way smooth talk while taking all the cheesy parts of the nachos.

But it was during when William and Kevin were staying at their house their relationship really showed. Beth lied to Randall about going to a meeting that turned out to be having her own night along with candy, wine, and Living Single marathon. But he tells he understands and after talking about the episode she's on, he guilts her to come back home with him and William, as he was looking for maple syrup.

Coming back to the present, the tension between Randall and Beth could but cut with a sharp knife. As Beth tells Randall why he doesn't argue back to her; we see a flashback to when he spied on Jack and Rebecca arguing at each other. We see that that flashback is the reason why he doesn't want to argue with someone that he cares and also why he fixes every problem with words and affections.
It really got ugly when Beth brings up his mental break down moments that ended with Randall going to his office in Philly. Later we see Randall on the couch and Beth on the floor and see them as kids as they each were looking at their flowers that Randall got them for their date.

"R&B" was an amazing and memorable episode from beginning to the end. The episode has so character development and moments that I couldn't leave my seat during the commercials. The show pulls off another powerful episode and a strong performance from Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown, but also the Niles Fitch and Rachel Hilson too as they played 17-year-old Beth and Randall. I really don't see how this could turn any worst or even better after the ending of the episode. I'm not ready for the season finale just yet, but feel like it's gonna be big. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the season finale of This Is Us Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.

I can't wait for Chicago Fire to return! Yeah, I do enjoy a couple of week's off to recharge the old mind and get back into the show. Casey and Herrman relationship could be in jeopardy for a call that could go pretty bad. Could the fire be arson that draws in a new team of Brett and Severide to investigate it? I do miss the team up of Gabby and Severide but gotta move on. Also, after the previous episode, I've noticed that my theory of Brett and Casey romance relationship wasn't that far out there. But there is a lot that doesn't agree and I understand that. But I why wouldn't these two get together on a romantic level?

You can catch Chicago Fire as they return this Wednesday at 9/8c on NBC!

Family Shocker and Revelations: Fresh Off The Boat "Grand-Mahjong"

Could Jessica and Grandma Huang's relationship be fixed? Here's a recap!

When Elaine sees that Jessica and Grandma Huang aren't in a good relationship, she tries to help her build upon it. After learning the fundamentals, she uses it when playing a game with Grandma Huang; at first, it seemed that Jessica was going to lose it but regains and acts nice and shows her care. Even though Grandma Huang could see what was going on, she uses it to her advantage but Jessica could play it her game too and soon the two have a good understanding relationship.

Meanwhile, after making fun of Emery's weakness, Louis tries to fixes his relationship with him by using his neighbor's "good luck" wrestling technique. At that point, it became known that Emery finally could take down someone like his old man as he won the wrestling match by accidentally punching him in the face. Call it the Ali moment.  Even though it was a shocker, they were soon on good speaking terms.

"Grand-Mahjong" was a very good episode. It was very much one of the best episodes with not only the ensemble cast but also the guest stars too with Ming-Na Wen and Reggie Lee. Strong character development and writing that I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Fresh Off the Boat Fridays at 8/7c on ABC.

To Be Or Not To Be?: This Is Us "You Are My Sunshine"

After last week's episode that felt so realistic, this week's episode of This Is Us took my breathe away. Here's a recap!

As Kate keeps her faith in baby Jack going to make it through this ordeal; Toby isn't sure if he's gonna make it. When the nurses were going to take some more blood from Jack, Toby wasn't too pleased and walked out an emotional upset. But after talking with another father who's been at the hospital for six weeks; he kind of help Toby talk it out with Kate. Soon Kate leaves Toby with their son and he starts talking with him.

Kevin and Zoe go to couples therapy and soon discuss whether if they want to have children or not. Zoe doesn't want to have any; so Kevin goes to a meeting and walks around to Sophie's house, where he meets her there. As soon as they have coffee, she tells him that she's engaged but still had coffee and talked. She gives him advice that he has to make the decision and that it's not going to be handed to him like other things in his life.

In the past flashback, we see the Pearson family getting ready for the school dance. Kevin and Kate are excited while Randall isn't and tries to study for a science exam instead. We see Rebecca and Jack chaperone the dance; she learns that Jack never went to a school dance before and took this time to show him what it was like. While a young Kevin toilet papering an office and sees Sophie. He begins to wrap each other around with toilet paper and told her that they will be together.

Randall and Beth are trying to make their situation work; but it seemed that when Randall is trying all that he can to be a parent, catch up on work and still trying to be there for all. As Beth is nailing her first recital with high praise, but she's also enjoying it too. Randall tells her that they've been invited to dinner, but she told him that she can't because she's going to be hanging out with her co-workers.

But the heat really gets going when Randall gets to the dinner but Beth doesn't show up and leaves a very mean voicemail on her phone. Soon, Beth gets there and later after dinner and purple cheesecake, the two really got to it. Beth tells Randall that he should sleep at his Philly office; but Randall comes home and tells her that he's not going to sleep there and soon as they were going to be talking about it, Randall shuts the door and end of the episode.

"You Are My Sunshine" might not hold up to last week's episode, but it sure came close. From the moments of Kate singing to baby Jack "You Are My Sunshine" was such an overwhelming of emotions. While watching Randall and Beth's relationship seem to take another dark turn. As much as I feel that everyone played such a big role in this episode; I feel that Chirs Sullivan's performance was outstanding. As for Kevin and Sophie; I'm still not given up on them as that past moment at the dance and the moment after their coffee just seems that they are not over each other, even though Sophie's engaged. The episode was amazing with such strong character development with everyone but mostly Toby. Overall,, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

"The Flies Don't Lie" Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Gintars"

As Jake helps Charles with a family problem; Rosa and Terry think that Amy and Holt's favorite forensic guy could be a fraud. Here's a recap!!

When Jake noticed that he and Charles are being followed, they lose him just enough to surprise him. But it would be a surprise to them as it was Gintars, Charle's adoptive son's real father. Charles lets his son bond with Gintars and soon it starts to worry on him. After hearing all the moaning and groaning, Jake tries to help and gets Gintars to confess that his GAPE clothing company is fake and gets him arrested. After stopping the whole arrested with Gintars, Jake fixed it and apologize to Charles for his  helping, but added with two best friends hats that happen to not fit/

As Rosa and Terry have a hard time closing a murder case of locating blood; Holt and Amy summoned Dr. Yee, a forensic guy that specializes with flies that can indicate blood. Of course, Amy and Holt go gaga over him but Terry and Rosa have a feeling that he's not all that great til Rosa got to try them out and learn that Yee's flies can't indicate blood. Yee confesses to Holt and Amy and apologize, but Rosa got to use those flies by getting a confession out of the suspect.

Meanwhile, Terry has been going throw bug issues at home; and not only shaved his eyebrows but bleach his goatee as well. Even with a peel on fake eyebrows it still didn't help as everyone still made fun of him.

"Gintars" was a very good episode. As much as I enjoyed the Amy/Holt/Terry/Rosa storyline; it was the Jake/Charles storyline that was one that I enjoyed the most and probably one of my favorites between the two characters. The episode had strong writing and performances from Samberg and Truglio. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"You Get What You Get" A.P. Bio "Nuns"

Could Jack get away of taking back of what is his even though it belongs to the church? Here's a recap!

After becoming the new Driver's Ed instructor, Jack sees an opportunity to take what belongs to him when he learns that before his mother died donated money to the church for a statue. Trying to get his class to help him pull it off, none wanted to do it. That was until he gets three of them for the driver's class and gets Victor to drive to the church.

Anthony, who goes to this church, doesn't want to help but after a little convincing he does. But the next day, Ralph and Helen informed Jack about the church called about their statue was stolen and a witness saw the school Driver's ed car. Thinking that they would send a priest to interview Jack's students turned out to be nuns.  A freakout Jack worries and gets his students to lie at their best, but these nuns can see right through them, but without telling them anything.

Jack learns that Anthony left his retainer at the church and decides to get the students to return the statue while he talks with the nuns. In the process, Jack gets interrogated by the nuns and comes clean that he could have been a better son to his mother. But before confessing, the nuns get a call that their statue had returned.

"Nun" was a good episode that probably would bring back so memories of a childhood encounter with nuns. Even though the chemistry between Jack, Victor, Heather, and Anthony is amazing and they play one another perfectly in the episode. The chemistry between Ralph and Helen is unbelievable; even if they were in the episode for a short time. The episode had good writing and good character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

Step It Up!: Superstore "Steps Challenge"

Sometimes you just got to motivate your co-workers to show that your store is better than the rest. Here's a recap of Thursday's episode of Superstore.

Corporate gets all of their Cloud 9 stores to do the Steps Challenge to see who can not only stay fit but who will have the most steps within the week. After getting their downgrade Fitbit watches, our beloved Cloud 9 store coworkers not motivated to do the challenge; Amy, Dina, and Jonah come up with a way to get them to motivate: telling them that another store is making fun of them.

After the first-day things were looking good; Amy and Dina took it to another level. They get the gang to think that Bel-Ridge sprayed painted the outside store with profound names. That led to everyone hating Bel-Ridge and not only calling out a customer, but some of the employees went to Bel-Ridge to make their store a mess and dump hot deer urine.

As Glenn got word about what happened at Bel-Ridge; Amy confesses that she wanted everyone to participate in the challenge because she wanted to win and also Dina wanted to beat Colleen but she didn't admit it.  Genn tries to write a letter to the Bel-Ridge Cloud 9 store manager with Garrett that turned into an "I love you" letter in a way. As things were looking good; Jonah let someone go in their breakroom. Didn't realized that Bel-Ridge made a comeback at them by destroying their breakroom.

"Steps Challenge" was such a hilarious and memorable episode. There were many moments that made this episode a standout; from Amy, Dina, and Jonah discussing how the other stores doing the step challenge; to Glenn's accidents plus writing a letter to the Bel_Ridge manager with Garrett's help.  Strong writing with great character development. The ensemble cast gave a great performance. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Waiting, Waiting and Waiting: This Is Us "The Waiting Room"

Waiting is the hardest thing to do! Tuesday's episode made it the definition as the Pearson family were waiting for any news of Kate and the baby. Tension rises, admission admitted, and emotions go all over the place in this week's episode of This Is Us. Here's a recap!

"The Waiting Room" was an intense emotional drive episode that really depicts the reality of what it's like to be waiting when you worried about someone; but also have so much on your mind. Waiting to see if Kate will be okay and the baby would make to full term; we learn from the doctor that things are looking good and that it's just a waiting game.

As the episode progress, we see Kevin worried; but also the discussion of his drinking that later Zoe tells Beth that he's still drinking. Randall and Beth's working hour situation that even got Rebecca and Miguel involved thinking that they could help them, but they have other plans. They do work things out.

Miguel tries to relive the tension with a game Ranch or Chocolate that some of the foods which seemed fun; but got annoying along the way. Even Madison comes and brought donuts and even talked to Miguel about how Kate planned to have a doll of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in front of him so he can have a strong female figure.

But during Randall and Kevin's argument, Rebecca, who has been quiet, hasn't eaten and not moved from her seat, finally spoken out and talks about what she went through with Jack before he died; but tells them that they are here for Kate and the baby and everything else needs to check out the door.

Soon Kevin gets word that Kate is in emergency c-section, but soon Toby comes out and tells everyone that he's here and very small, but alive. The baby is in the NICU and as we see the episode close; Kate grabs Toby's hand and talks to her father to introduce their little guy, Jack. And asked to help their baby to make it through.

This was a very special episode with one clue being that the intro music wasn't playing. This could be one of the strongest bottle episodes in a long time; the performance from Mandy Moore but Chrissy Metz and Chris Sullivan were amazing with high emotions and strong character development. I would really consider for Moore, Metz, and Sullivan to enter them in this episode at the Emmys. Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

Rivals: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "The Golden Child"

As one is jealous to reunite with her brother, another is jealous for not getting the undercover role. Here's a recap!

The Blacklist Renewed for Season 7

It looks like Raymond Reddington's life will be spared after all.

TVLine has confirmed that NBC has renewed The Blacklist for a seventh season. Deadline, which is TVline sister site, first broke the news, that the core cast that includes James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff and Harry Lennix will all be back for Season 7.

"Congratulations to our amazing producers, cast and crew, all of whom continue to work at the top of their game and make The Blacklist one of NBC's signature series," said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, co-presidents of scripted programming at NBC.

The current season sixth of The Blacklist is currently airing Fridays at 9/8c. In recent outing on March 8th, Reddington pleaded guilty to the numerous criminal charges against him and was sentenced to death- a fate made even more worrying after he failed to escape prison later in the episode. (But with Spader's commitment to Season 7, we can assume that the forthcoming lethal injection doesn't go down as planned.)

The current season is averaging a 0.6 in demo rating and about 4 million total viewers, besting only Blindspot and the already canceled Midnight, Texas among all NBC dramas. The Live+7 DVR playback, those numbers go up to 1.2 and 7.3 million.

Mayo Equals Happiness?: A.P. Bio "Happiness" Season Premiere

No pencils, no books, but your teacher will give you dirty work for his new book in the season premiere of A.P. Bio. Here's a recap!

Impressive: Superstore "Cloud 9 Academy"

Superstore is back and it's like they have never left that made us laugh and feel. Here's a recap!!

As Amy and Cheyenne take a Cloud 9 management class at the Cloud 9 Academy; Amy isn't quite okay with working with Cheyenne as they had to come up with ideas to help their store that some were good and some of them not.

But when they had to role play and Amy talk to Cheyenne about her absence; things went improv and getting everyone in the class to participate. In the end, after getting their certificates. Amy apologizes to Cheyenne on how she behaved towards and they celebrate by going to the bar with the group.

Meanwhile, when Glenn asked Garrett and Dina to watch his baby because he wants to babyproof his office; they try to refuse but Garrett takes on the task. When Dian sees that Garrett placed the baby in the shopping cart, she takes her out and all here broke loose when the baby wouldn't stop crying.

Soon, Dina would create a place for the baby that would end up being a daycare for her and Garrett to watch all the kids. When Glenn's baby gets hungry, Dina breastfeeds her but when Glenn returns and picked up his baby, it appears that Dina has fed the wrong baby.

Also, Mateo decides to file sanctionary because of his immigration status; but Jonah gets him to create a protest group that ended up going against the President of Venezuela. Protesting and getting the news crew to cover it, Marcus tells the reporter that Mateo is coming for the President of Venezuela.

And as I mentioned before, Glenn left Garrett and Dina to babysit his baby to babyproof his office. Well, let's just say that mission complete but instead, he not only babyproof his office but Glenn-proof it as well. Trying to get out, he calls for help, sends a note through the door that would only go across the hall to another room. But he finally got out, The Shining-style, and gets to his baby.

"Cloud 9 Academy" was amazingly hilarious! The episode had four amazing stories that had such strong character development and moments that I couldn't forget. From Dina and comforting Glenn's baby to Amy and Cheyenne learning from each other; to even Mateo learning the ways of protesting. But it was Glenn's story that was probably the best; that it was totally hilarious without feeling too bad for the character. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Always There for You: This Is Us "The Graduates"

This week's episode of This Is Us had moments of joyous occasion to heartbreaking moments. But there was a WTF moment that really upset me and it's not what you would think. Here's a recap!

It's Kate's graduation and everyone is looking to give her a celebration from Toby to even Rebecca. But on her happy occasion, she worries about someone, Kevin, who tries to hide his drinking once again. After Kevin "left to meet with a director," Kate went to see him and gets him to go to a meeting. More to come later.

During the episode, we see flashback the day of the big three's graduations. We see Rebecca shopping for a good camcorder for the kids' graduation and bumps into an old friend that asked her out for coffee. Too soon dude! Too soon! As soon as she gets to Randall's graduation, Rebecca has a panic attack and gets advice that she needs to talk about it with a grief group and after dropping Kevin and Randall at the party and being alone at home, she calls Miguel to help her drive to the grief group.

As Kevin and Randall looking forward to it, Kate wasn't because it's she thinks people will judge her after her father just died four months ago or Kevin leaving with Sophie to New York City to be an actor. After skipping graduation, Kate watches family videos and seemed to got her second wind and went to a party that Kevin and Randall and they discuss how this could be the last time they see each other but really we know it's not.

Meanwhile, in the present, we see Randall and Beth trying to make things work with Beth's new job. Later Randall gets a call from Dejia and drivers over there but seeing her walking down the street halfway from the school, she tells him the reason why she was so upset. Her teacher had assigned an essay and that it was so good that she posted on the online school paper without her permission.

As Randall talked to her, he learns that Deja is all caught up and could easily go to high school next year. But Deja doesn't want to do that because she's finally comfortable where she is at and wants to go at her own pace, which I think we could all understand after seeing what she's gone through. 

As Beth comes home, Randall tells her the news about Deja and had a solution to their problem: Beth should take a break while he works. WTF! I know that he didn't just say that! I literally had to rewind that twice. But before they could talk, Randall gets a call from Rebecca about Kate.

As Kate helps Kevin, she flashbacks to the moments of how Kevin has always been there for her and that it's time for her to be there for him. She drives him to a meeting, but by the time they almost get there, Kate goes into labor and things take a real overwhelming moment. As the doctor stops Kate's labor, for now, Kevin comes in to comfort her again, and soon Randall pops in as well as they are all together like they say they would on that graduation night.

"The Graduates" was a good episode from start to finish. I just loved the story between Kate and Kevin as it was one of those that you can see how close they were as kids to now. But also I just loved how the tables turn between each other for helping one another. Also, Rebecca's story was as ever strong but overwhelming with heartbreak to joy as she still struggles but seeks help thanks to Miguel. As much as Randall upset me in this episode with Beth, he did have some good moments from standing up for Deja about her essay being shared to understanding her on moving to high school. But that ending scene with the big three was a tearful moment. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
