FBI Season 3: A Thrilling Season

 

The third season of CBS's FBI is a real thrill ride that played so well with my emotions that I can see why this series has become so popular with fans. Here are my thoughts.

CBS Fall 2022 Schedule: SWAT And Ghosts on the Move


 On Wednesday morning, CBS became the third network to release its fall 2022 schedule after NBC and ABC had done but not FOX (quite yet). So, what to expect in the new schedule? 

SWAT is returning to its Friday leadoff spot, where it will kick off the new firefighter drama, Fire Country (starring SEAL Team's Max Thieriot). NCIS: Los Angeles will, in turn, move an hour later on Sundays, which will make way for the new cop drama, East New York.

The newest reality series, The Real Love Boat, will close out Wednesday night, anchored by the new seasons of Survivor and The Amazing Race. 

And Thursdays look to be a bit different, with only two Thursday sitcoms now, Young Sheldon and Ghosts (moving a half-hour earlier), which will kick off into the freshman dramedy So Help Me Todd (Starring Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin). While CSI: Vegas' second season will close out the night.

Here's a look at the schedule:


MONDAY:

8/7c The Neighborhood

8:30/7:30c Bob Hearts Abishola

9/8c NCIS.

10/9c NCIS: Hawai'i

TUESDAY:

8/7c FBI.

9/8c FBIL International

10/9c FBI: Most Wanted

WEDNESDAY:

8/7c Survivor

9/8c The Amazing Race

10/9c The Real Love Boat (NEW)

THURSDAY:

8/7c Young Sheldon

8:30/7:30c Ghosts

9/8c So Help Me Tood (NEW)

10/9c CSI: Vegas

FRIDAY:

8/7c SWAT. 

9/8c Fire Country (NEW)

10/9c Blue Bloods

SATURDAY:

8/7c Drama encores

9/8c Drama encores

10/9c 48 Hours

SUNDAY:

7/6c 60 Minutes

8/7c The Equalizer

9/8c East New York (NEW)

10/8c N.C.I.S.: Los Angeles


MIDSEASON:

Lingo (new), Secret Celebrity Renovation, Superfan (new), Tough as Nails, True Lies (new)

CANCELLED:

B Positive (ending airing May 26), How We Roll, Magnum PI, United States of Al, Good Sam


CBS made some changes and added more new shows to its fall schedule compared to NBC (two new shows) and ABC (three new shows). CBS has gone back to two comedies and two dramas for their Thursday night lineup (something they haven't done since the 2012-2013 season). 

Fire Country and East New York look promising from the trailers, but I still have some doubts about So Help Me Todd.

The schedule looks solid, and I look forward to the new seasons of CBS' Tuesday night and Thursday night. I wonder if they will kick off SEAL Team's new season by airing on CBS for a couple of weeks and airing the rest on Paramount+ because I thought that was a brilliant move to kick off the newly rebranded streaming service.

The latest new promo for CBS's FBI and FBI Most Wanted was released Sunday. 

For FBI going into its third season, not a whole lot is given except that they're gonna need all hands on deck. While FBI Most Wanted that's going into its second season, gives a teaser of how they dive into the criminal's mind to solve the crime. 

It may not be much, but it gets me excited about the return for these shows.

FBI "Never Trust a Stranger" Season 3 Premiere Preview

Here's a preview of the season premiere of FBI titled, "Never Trust a Stranger." 


"Never Trust a Stranger"

In the season three premiere, the team welcomes a new member, Special Agent Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee-Turner), as they search for killers who orchestrated a mass shooting at a media company. OA's personal connection with the case threatens to cloud his judgment.

Photos:





Man, I think we all can't wait to see Maggie and OA back together as partners once again. Looks like OA is trouble with this case. I just hope that this new team member will be staying for more than a season. But all in all, I can't wait for the new season to begin. 

Are you looking forward to the season premiere? What are your thoughts going in? Excited? Leave a comment below!

The season premiere of FBI begins Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 9/8c on CBS.

Blue Bloods Alum and Lost Alum Joins FBI Most Wanted


Looks like a familiar face is returning to CBS. 

Deadline is reporting that Amy Carlson is returning to CBS, after three years since the Blue Bloods blindsided reveal that her character, Linda Reagan, had been killed off, off-screen.

Carlson is set to be in a recurring role during Season 2 of FBI: Most Wanted as Jackie Ward, a veteran bounty hunter who has previously crossed paths with Julian McMahon's Jess. Jess describes her as "a force of nature" and "good at her job," but a "thorn in the (FBI) team's side."

Since leaving Blue Bloods, Carlson has had roles on NBC's The Village, Netflix's The Society. Her previous TV credits also include Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Third Watch, and Another World. 

Also, in addition, Lost alum Terry O'Quinn will recur on FBI Most Wanted as Bryon Lacroix, Jess's divorced father who has "a big personality and a gambling addiction." We did get a couple of stories in Season One about their relationship. 

FBI Most Wanted is scheduled to return with Season 2 sometime this early November-ish...

This should be a fun season for Jess Lacroix. I think that the addition of Carlson for this season sounds interesting and exciting. While I'm not a fan of Blue Bloods, I was a fan of her in Third Watch and Law & Order: Trial By Jury. And the addition of O'Quinn should be very good as I just finished watching the first season of Most Wanted and listening to some of Lacroix's stories about his dad sounds something exciting to explore. 

What do you think of the additional casting? Leave a comment and tell us your thoughts!

With shows looking to begin production the end of August to sometime in September; this is what was expected to come with networks acquiring other shows from streaming services and other broadcasting networks to fulfill the network with fresh content.

The lineup for the beginning of the fall looks okay (in my opinion). The one thing I'm really looking forward to seeing One Day at a Time return to the original series' network. And maybe, just maybe I might check out Star Trek Discovery that people are so divided about.

Too Close To Home: FBI "Little Egypt" Season Premiere


The season premiere of FBI has the agency facing a bombing that hits too close to home. Here's a recap! The 

When a bombing of a restaurant hits close to home to O.A., it goes even more profound and even butting heads with the new FBI supervisor, Isobel Castille, on the issues of spreading the word that Muslim terrorists were the ones that had attacked.

After agreeing and getting the okay from Castille, O.A. tries to connect to one of the buyers, who cannot do what he's trying to do. But when he comes to visit the kid at home, the kid is no longer at home but at the park about to bomb Central Park. While Maggie stops the bomb, O.A. stops the kid and the suspect.

Meanwhile, in the episode, Kristen becomes a full agent of the FBI and gets a new partner, Agent Stuart Scola, as he helps Maggie and O.A. The two bond as unique partners, like Kristen learning that Scola did have an older brother who died on 9/11.

"Little Egypt" was an excellent episode that not only told a solid character development episode but pretty much added to what the feeling towards the characters would be this season. I very much enjoyed the tension between O.A. and Castille. But also nothing like a Law and order reunion between Sisto and Garza. I'm interested in where this season will take the characters and the stories that they'll be telling. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

FBI "Little Egypt" Season Premiere Preview




With less than a month till the season premiere of CBS's FBI, here's a preview of the season two premiere titled, "Little Egypt."


"Little Egypt"

In the season two premiere, after a bomb detonates at a restaurant in Queens, the case becomes personal for OA, who grew up eating there. But when initially seems like a terrorist attack reveals itself to be more complex, and OA goes undercover to prevent another incident. Alana De La Garza (Law & Order) joins the cast as new Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille.



The promo looks good so far. The premises reads pretty well. I can't wait to see what this season will bring and Alana De La Garza to the show. I just hope it could level up to last season.

You can catch the season premiere of FBI Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 9/8c on CBS.

FBI Season 1



It was one of the top new television shows of this past season; CBS's FBI is one of the best shows on the network, with good character development and compelling stories. Still, it only serves as a television drama snack of a show at the end of the day. 

FBI is about an elite team from the New York City Federal Bureau of Investigation that tackles major cases to save this country.  The team consists of FBI agent Maggie Bell (played by Missy Peregrym), the widow of a Wall Street Journal investigative reporter who was murdered. She's as tough as she comes, and when it comes to putting personal feelings aside, she can get the job done. FBI Agent Omar Adom "O.A. Zidan (played by Zeeko Zaki) is not only Bell's partner but also an ex-army soldier. 

Not to mention Jubal Valentine (played by Jeremy Sisto), who's not only the FBI assistant special agent in charge, but he's the master motivator and probably one of my favorite characters on the show. Plus, you got to love Ward, as the FBI supervisor, Dana Mosier. 

The show's first season is a bit bumpy, but around episode eight is where they find their identity. The team tackles bombings, white supremacists, a corrupt witness protection program, and kidnappings; even Maggie gets closure for the death of her husband. But it's not a Dick Wolf series unless you have a spinoff in place. They have FBI: Most Wanted. You can catch the series when it premieres sometime in the midseason of 2020.  

I very much enjoyed this series from the start to the end. It's got its moments with good writing and character development. While Peregrym and Zaki work great together, Sisto shines in this series, balancing out his wicked sense of humor and dramatic moments. I can't get enough of watching and listening to what he says to the team of employees as they hunt for their suspect. It just brings me back to his Law and Order day. Overall, It might not be the best drama on television, but it sure feeds the television palate once you watch and finish an episode.  I give this first season an 8/10.

You can catch FBI Tuesdays at 9/8c and the season premiere of Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 9/8c on CBS.
