NBC Gives This Is Us a Full Pick Up.

Just after a week ago of it's premiere, NBC has announced that This Is Us has gotten picked up for a full season.

This order for a complete first season of 18 episodes is exactly what we'd wanted and hoped for, " said Dan Fogelman, creator and executive producer, in a statement. "We'd carefully mapped out an 18-chapter story for the first year of the show, and this allows us to follow through with our exact initial intent. And to get the order so early on is a tremendous show of confidence and a boost for our entire cast and crew."

The newly twisted family drama premiered last Tuesday to 10.1 million total viewers and a 2.8 ratings demo, marking it as the Big 4's highest-rated drama debut since last fall's Supergirl and not to mention Blindspot. It also marked NBC's highest-rated scripted program in the time slot in more than six years, since an April 2010 episode of Parenthood.

You can catch This Is Us tonight at 10/9c after The Voice on NBC.

Decision Disorder: Kevin Can Wait "Sleep Disorder"

Last night's episode of Kevin Can Wait might have been hilarious at time but I think that the title of this episode seems misleading.

When Kevin accidentally rubbed Icy Hot for his arm into his arm pit, he left the burn badly that beg Donna to switch sides on the bed. The next morning, he realizes that Donna has a shorter route to the bathroom than he does, not to mention that everything around the house was under her decision. So Kevin decides to talk it out with her that they should make decisions together from furniture to having a beanbag chair in the bathroom.

When Donna agreed and Kevin went out bring his stuff from the antic and brought it down. Donna saw what Kevin brought from the George Foreman grill to the recliner chair to even his own legs and abs workout pants, which I have no clue what the hell it was, but served a purpose for Kevin when the pants put a ton of pressure on his legs and couldn't stop it. After cutting his pants, he tells Donna the truth that none of anything around the house is something that he decided to place.

Also the B-Story was when Chale was emotional watching a cooking show and had Donna, Kendra, Sara and Jack all thinking that it was weird. But when Uncle Kyle gets involved, he tells him about being emotional and turned him into an unemotional guy when they watched "Ole Yeller" (I believe).

Kendra confronts him about it and tells him that she wants him to express his emotionas but not in a way that it's wired. SO they hugged and he let out his emotions about the dog when Kevin pops out and thought that Kendra broke things off. Kevin offered to buy him a ticket back to England but Kendra tells him that they haven;t broken anything off, but still Kevin wants to buy him a ticket back to England.

This was a good episode that had me laughing at times. The A-story was good with Kevin and Donna. There were scenes when Kevin got scared of how Donna looked when sleeping, there was when he and his guys were going around the house looking at what Donna has placed.

I did like his idea of the TV placed on the ceiling, until it fell off. Not the best idea but good one: watch TV while laying down. I don't want to pop my head up while laying down.The B-Story was okay. Cartwright was good, but not as hilarious as he was in the pilot. The only issue was the title of the episode "Sleep Disorder" there was no sign that someone had a sleep disorder or anything with sleep. It should have been called Decision Disorder or something.

I give this episode a 6/10.

You can catch Kevin Can Wait Monday nights at 8:30/7:30c on CBS.

Chicago Med "Soul Care" Season Premiere

Last season's #1 New Medical Drama returns and the season premiere of Chicago Med jumps into Season 2 with a rush!!

The episode opens up with Manning in the helicopter with two patients a father and his pregnant daughter that were in a car accident. Halstead rushes up to help and take control as he is the new chief attending in the ED. Manning puts a chest tube in the mother and rushes her to CT.

Later Rhodes, Halstead and Manning discuses treatment for the woman as what's best for her and the baby as Rhodes thinks putting in a stint will be fine with the baby still in the mother. But they wait, til her father falls and has an MI where Rhodes and Halstead try to save him rush to the CT along with having surgery.

Under a teaching mentor, Rhodes is introduce to Dr. Latham, who says that Rhodes wasn't his first choice to have on his team. The two butted heads during surgery with the pregnant woman's father on which vein to take for the guy's heart. When Rhodes give him his opinion of what Downey would do, the new guy flipped out and threw a pan in the OR freaking everyone, including me too.  This is going to be a great season for the two of them.

After the surgery, Rhodes gets Manning to okay on putting a stint in the mother's heart. While performing the baby's heart was dipping and soon had to perform an emergency C-section and after that the mother and the baby was well. Unlike her father as his health was fail pretty fast. Halstead and Rhodes performed CPR and did everything but the guy was gone, until as they walked away the guy's heart was beating and soon the daughter came and the two had about a minute or two as he saw his granddaughter and soon passed away. Talk about your miracles, right?

Choi was dealing with his new role as Chief Resident of the ED and he tries his new way of patient care which wasn't working at all. But in the end he was gong to go back to the old style and as Halstead told him the nurses run the department better.

Dr. Charles gets Reese to come back and take the resident spot in  his department and takes a case of a 15 year old girl who seemed to try to kill herself with a power pain medicine. Reese goes in and talks to her and when she finally tells her about a rash that she has and had check it, she freaked out and thought that she was going to die. Reese takes a skin sample and gets it tested to reveal that it was an fungus infection. It was a good start for Reese as she's back at Med.

For April, she still doesn't think she's good after having TB and taking meds for the next five months. But after seeing a patient that came in with injuries who is HIV kissing his wife, things kind of settled down for her.

I loved how the new season kicked off, right to the first trauma in the episode. The pregnant daughter and her father storyline just took my breath away, both of them facing heart trouble and not to mention that the father dies and comes back just for a while to meet her granddaughter was touching. Also I enjoy watching Halstead get tough on Jeff Clarke, even though it is personal at times. And Rhodes and Latham is going to be an interesting team this season.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.
