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

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.

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.
