When The Spider Meets The Fly: The Blacklist "The Debt Collector (No. 46)"

When word of a Blacklister is targeting Liz, the FBI try to find him with some help before getting Liz.

With Red trying to get back to the states, one of his sources tells him that The Debt Collector is after Liz, he informs her about and gets the FBI to hunt the blacklister down. In order to help out, Mr. Kaplan helps the FBI on the dead body that the Collector left near the shore in 2002.

With Kaplan helping FBI, Ressler teams back up with Julian on the investigation of Red's killings. They even met with Marvin, trying to get answers but instead talks with Ressler alone and walks away. Julian thinks that Ressler knows Marvin.

After Kaplan finds out who the Debt Collector is, Liz is kidnapped and is taken to the the cabin in the woods where he was told to take her and keep her safe til someone comes. When Red gets word of it, he talks to Kaplan and tells her that just for this time leave the hate between him and her out and come together to find Liz.

While Liz is taken, Red is on the phone with Kaplan telling her that FBI is on their way, but she's coming close to the site anyway. As soon as Red is off the phone, he puts on his hat and opens the door. Now you would think that the boat that he and Dembe are in has ported but another Blacklist moment as Red comes out of that door into the room of where Liz and the Debt Collector are in.

Apparently Red hired the Debt Collector get lore out Kaplan. It was something that I never really thought of but very clever. As soon as Kaplan and her men are at point, Red has his men on site ready to take the shot but when Liz screams out Kaplan, she makes the phone call to Red and the two had a stalemate.

As the two talk outside, the FBI get there, but the worst part is that Julian follows Ressler to the site where Red is at and during conversation with no one taking a shot...Julian tries to take the shot at Red's head but misses and things go off in a blaze of glory with Kaplan running in the woods with her men.

Later, Red talks with Liz about that last scene that Kaplan isn't one to be trusted but Liz tells him that the test came back that none of her men took the first shot. Red believes there's a mystery guest around and that they'll just have to keep their eyes open.

"The Debt Collector" was written very well and beautifully shot as well. I couldn't get enough of Red and Dembe's conversation about Kaplan. It was so beautifully done and love how Dembe says that she hurt us. Also not to mention that stand off conversation with Kaplan and Red along wit Liz as that one was so well written and performed. This will very much open to a great season finale and thank god it's a two hour epic event. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the epic 2 hour season finale of The Blacklist next Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

Shocking News: NBC reverses Cancelled Timeless

In a weird turn of events, the television gods has granted a miracle that NBC has reserved their decision on the cancelled series Timeless.

TVLine has learned that the NBC time traveling series, that was cancelled this week, will come back for a second season.

Star Matt Lanter broke the news on a Facebook video shooting as his character, Wyatt.

"I just want to hop on and tell you that I think the mission was successful," he says as his character. "we went back, and I'm pretty sure we changed NBC's minds. So yeah, we've got more episodes coming. See you real soon."

Timeless was the sixth rated series on NBC and after four days of it's cancellation the decision was reversed at the time the series co-creator, Eric Kripke tweeted that he and his co-creator, Shawn Ryan, would try to find another home and that the "odds are long."

The show is likely to air some time in 2018, possibly Spring 2018.

#Timeless is trending in the Top 3 on Saturday after the news broke and I don't think it'll stop anytime soon. Fans of the show were campaigning their butts off to make sure that the show would get a second season and it looks like it finally has worked.

I'm so thrilled that this show is coming back. It's such has such a great group of actors and the writing has been unbelievable. Even learning about history in a different way has been mind blowing at times some that I never even learned from school.

Great News for Great News

There's some great news for NBC's Great News.

NBC has announced that they're renewing Great News for Season 2, three weeks into it's first season run of Tuesday night.

The show so far has averaged 3.6 million weekly viewers and a 0.9 demo rating of the workplace comedy starring Briga Heelan, Andrea Martin, John Michael Higgins and Nicole Richie.

The show airs Tuesday nights at 9/8c airing two episodes and it'll wrap up the season on May 23.

The Blacklist, Blindspot, Fire, PD and Med gets Renewal, But Timeless is Timeout

NBC has announced Thursday that The Blacklist will be back for a fifth season, so grab another drink and a fedora hat for the Fall.

The 22 episode renewal comes as Season 4 gets ready for a showdown between Reddington and his confident-turned-enemy Mr. Kaplan.

The series creator Jon Bokenkamp tells TVLine that Mr. Kaplan "will undermine (Red's) criminal empire in ways he never expected" and "intends to take him apart piece by piece" in the season's final installments.

The Blacklist has average thus far this season 5.4 million weekly with a 1.0 demo rating, down 20 to 30 percent from Season 3.

You can catch the Two hour season finale next Thursday at 9/8c on NBC. No word about the spinoff series The Blacklist: Redemption on getting renewed.

Meanwhile, Wednesday was with joy and heavy hearts for fans.

First, on Wednesday night, NBC has renewed Chicago Fire and it's spinoff series Chicago PD and Chicago Med learned from TVLine. Fire will be heading into it's sixth season while PD in it's fifth and Med in it's third.

No decision on Chicago Justice, but I think that too will get picked up.

Blindspot gets pulled out of the bubble category as it gets picked up for a third season. The renewal comes as the viewership dropped sharply when last season's #1 hit show moved from Mondays at 10pm to Wednesdays at 8 for Season 2.

But for fans of Timeless the news comes to shock and with heavy hearts that the series won't get picked up for a second season.

Eric Kripke, the executive producer/co-creator confirmed the news on Twitter saying that the "odds are long, but trying to find another home" for the series.

The show average 4.6 million total viewers and a 1.1 demo rating, it was NBC's No. 6 rated drama, matching fellow freshmen Chicago Justice and the recently renewed Taken and besting out on The Blacklist, Blindspot and Shades of Blue. But the series has had an enjoyed boost in the DVR.

The show's season 1 finale left in a cliffhanger, with Lucy discovering that her mother Carol is part of the mysterious Rittenhouse organization.

Great News "Snowmageddon of the Century"/"Serial Arsonist"

"Snowmageddon of the Century"

When the whole staff can't wait to get home after a long week, a snowstorm stranded them in the office.

When the staff is on their last legs at the end of the week, they only want to finish the show and go home for the weekend. But when Carol wishes for a miracle about getting the staff and crew together, a snowmageddon leaves the staff and crew stuck.

Carol tries to get everyone closer, but no one wants to do this. It goes from bad to worst when Carol steals the staff of Morning Wined Up (a Kathie Lee and Hoda parody morning show) bottles of wine. When she handed them the bottles of wine, it became a second-holiday party, and everyone was doing some hilarious and awkward stuff.

Meanwhile, Katie gets to work with Chuck on a lead story, but Portia gets into Katie's head about how he wants to sleep with her. Katie tried to figure out how to handle it, and it was taken by kissing him, but it wasn't what he wanted. He told her that he was trying to test the waters as he has a young 20-something-year-old girl he likes to go out.

As everyone is still partying, Greg gets the call about how they will go live in 22 minutes to cover the winter storm. Everyone freaks out but comes together and puts on an excellent show, even though the introduction was slightly off.

This was one hell of an episode. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end, and at one point, this was going to be one of these supersize episodes for some reason. We finally learned about Greg's Cat, who happens to be his girlfriend named Cat and not an animal. The cast was fantastic, and I don't think everyone played equally in performance. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Serial Arsonist" 

When a reporter is arrested, Katie takes over as field reporter.

When The Breakdown field reporter covers an arson fire and is caught for the arsonist, Greg searches for a reporter quickly. Carol thinks that Katie would be great for it, but Katie doesn't want her mother to make decisions for her like she did for a talent show.

After seeing the audition for reporters, Greg begs Katie to fill in, and she does, but after one night, everything goes into her head, and she finds out that her mother got input into her reporting.  Katie tries to give her mother payback, and instead of reporting live, she performs her act on the talent show. When Greg sees it, he freaks and puts the music video of Chuck and Justin's new theme song for the show as a replacement, which is catchy but crazy.

"Serial Arsonist" was another excellent episode. Heelan and Martin were great again in this episode. The writing was good. She was loved when Katie finally did her talent show ribbon dance. That was hilarious! Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Great News on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Great News "Chuck Pierce Is Blind"/"War is Hell"

"Chuck Pierce is Blind" 

When Chuck announces that he's taking a day off from The Breakdown due to an award he's getting, Katie and Greg celebrate until Greg is reminded of the promises he made to everyone.

"Chuck Pierce is Blind" is probably one of the show's funniest episodes. Mostly, it's coming from John Michael Higgins' performance as Chuck, who announces that he's taking one day off due to an award he's getting but tells Carol that he's getting eye surgery.

With Katie and Greg being happy that they get a Chuck Free Day, Greg gets everyone from the crew to put their two cents into the show, from Portia's version, Justin's kick-ass, to even Beth, the weather lady given her climate rant (which was hilarious!).

Greg can't take it anymore, and when he sees what the show looks like, he and Katie call Chuck to get him back. After telling him someone will fill in for him, which gets him back to the studio even though his condition isn't good for him to see.

When Chuck comes back, and the program begins, everyone notices Chuck's eyes and how he's reading Portia's lines, thanks to Carol reading the script to him. It was one hell of a scene that I was crying while laughing.

This episode was a nonstop laughing machine of an episode. Higgins steals the episode, hands down. I even watched Adam Campbell and Nicole Richie shine in this episode too. I thought the writing was outstanding. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

"War Is Hell" 

When Katie's boyfriend returns, she thinks Carol is judging the boyfriends again.

When Katie's boyfriend, Trip, returns from covering a story in Syria, Carol discovers they are a secret couple. Katie tries to get her mother to stop judging her boyfriend like the other ones she has had. That was until Katie discovers that Trip is rich and finds that he isn't absorbing as he calls himself Trippy.

Meanwhile, with Trip returning, Chuck explains how he used to cover the dangers of war in other countries. But when Greg and Justin find out why Chuck doesn't go, Chuck proves to them that he can. And also sends all three to HR for one of the most awkward and hilarious HR meetings scenes.

"War is Hell" was an excellent episode. I thought that Martin and Heelan were outstanding once again in this episode. Also, Higgins stills the episode again. The writing was not as perfect as the previous episode, but it was still good. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Great News on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Kevin Can Wait "Sting of Queens Part Two" Season Finale

In the part two of the two part season finale of Kevin Can Wait, partners will get closer, a position would be taken away and a business goes out pretty fast.

The episode starts off the next day when Vanessa comes to pick up Kevin for their undercover trip to Boston. When they get up to Boston, Vanessa takes advantage by letting Kevin sleep in by using a white noise machine app, because it helps Kevin sleep so peacefully. Kevin soon realizes and meets up and the two fight over the case again.

When word of the business wasn't what they expected, Kevin realizes that the art might be fake but they're sneaking in drugs. When Vanessa goes look around, she gets caught, Kevin tries to stop him by swinging but it didn't work but made one hell of a scene that was literally the funniest scene of the episode.

Vanessa tied up and Kevin handing upside down, the two finally talk about their beef with one another. As soon as Kevin is free, he tries to untie Vanessa and apologizes to her for embarrassing her on television years ago in 2007. But as soon as they try to call for help, the couple comes back with guns pointing at them but the guy's girlfriend pulled a fast one on him and tells him she's FBI so she takes the credit.

Meanwhile, Donna gets word of the position, she didn't get it and blows over it pretty badly. After talking to Kevin about it and hearing that he might want to go back to the force and knowing that Chale's new job is solid. She quits her job.

Chale on the other hand, a day in the new job, he learns from another employee that the business is tanking and the investors have pulled out. Pretending to Kendra that things are good and he gets dropped off at work.

But when the family comes together and Donna tells them that she quit her job, she also misunderstood that Kevin wanted to get back to the police force again and freaks out. But when Kevin finally says something nice to Chale and his new job, probably not the best time but at the moment, he tells them without saying anything as the episode ends.

This was a very good episode. There were some really good moments, Donna freaking out of not getting the job, Kevin handing upside down was too funny. Just watching Kevin and  Vanessa was literally my favorite part of the episode. James and Remini haven't lost their chemistry. Not to mention Hayes puts on a really good performance too. The writing was very good as well. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Overall Season: 8/10. I thought this season was very good. Was it at a level of other new comedy like The Good Place and Great News? Probably not, but it's near but I'll say this that Kevin Can Wait is one of those family traditional situational comedies that you really don't need to think it over. It's a simple family comedy that you can sit and laugh with family and friends like other shows like King of Queens, and Everybody Loves Raymond. The cast was amazing, mostly Kevin James and Erin Hayes really work well on screen. The other cast members were really good too. I can't wait to see what Season Two will bring.
