NBC has announced Tuesday that they are tweaking up the season six premiere of The Blacklist with a special Thursday premiere before it airs to its permanent Friday home.
In early November, NBC announced that The Blacklist would premiere its new Friday at 9/8c on January 4 with a special two-hour premiere. But plans have changed, the first hour of the two-parter will now air on Thursday, January 3 at 10/9c. It will be following the launch of the new reality show The Titan Games. And the second part of the episode will air on its regular time slot, Friday, Jan. 4 at 9/8c.
With the conclusion of Blindspot's fall fun on Friday, Dec. 7, Midnight, Texas will shift to Fridays at the 8/7c beginning at Dec. 14 with Dateline having the two-hour block. Blindspot will return to its Friday home on January 11th.
As Michael and Janet meet with the idealist for The Good Place. Eleanor and the gang deal with a bigger problem. Here's a recap of The Good Place.
As Michael and Janet meet with Doug Forcett, the idealist of what The Good Place is, and finds out how he figured out the system; getting high in the 70's. But Michael sees that Doug isn't living such a good life as he's living a miserable life while trying to please everyone. That also includes growing his own food and drinking his own filtered urine as water. Michael tries to get him to live life to the fullest but he wouldn't want to break the points system.
Meanwhile, after Eleanor gets advice from Tahani about telling Chidi that they fell in love back in The Good Place. But just before she tells him, she notices some of the people in the bar aren't good and it turns out they're demons. Shawn comes in tries to take them back, but Michael comes in and soon Janet becomes Kill Bill version of herself and fights the other demons. One by one, each demon gets sent back by Michael's device and even Shawn too. But soon more came and Janet offers them to get inside of her. Which left it there on a cliffhanger once again.
"Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By" was a fantastic episode as it could have ever been. Michael McKean's portrayal of Doug Forcett was amazing and perfect casting choice. D'Arcy Carden steals the episode with her scene as the kickass scene moments that really look from Kill Bill. Also, Ted Danson does some amazing work too. The writing was strong with character development. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
You can catch The Good Place when they return on Thursday, December 6th at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.
With the company want the employees to be more cherry with a smile. A family reunion also is in store too. Here's a recap of Superstore.
"New Initiative" had some many memorable moments that it was another hilarious episode. Dina and Garrett betting on each other on who can smile the longest for the store new initiative policy of smiling and talking with the customers. They go at it with each other about some of the worst things that happen to them to win the bet.
Jonah's parents shopping and hoping to see their son, who thinks he's still in medical school. As Amy tries to help them with their needs as shoppers, they meet Jonah and soon learn that he's working at this store for three years. Even the moment with Amy trying to get Glenn to shut up about Jonah working at the store was one of the funniest moments, even after when Glenn was talking with Amy about the situation.
Another hilarious and good episode with such memorable performances from the ensemble cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Superstore when they return Thursday, Dec.6th at 8/7c on NBC.
Will Severide open up before he gets himself killed? Casey and Namoi get a clue about their arson investigation, and the hunt is on for a photo from Boden's past. Here's a recap of the Chicago Fire.
Boy, this was sure a Chicago Fire episode to remember in one way or another. Severide, who's still grieving the loss of his father, gets in danger during a call when a chimney collapses. Casey and Otis got him in time, and Kidd isn't too happy about not helping because of Casey's orders. Severide opens up to Foster about not moving away in that fire, and that's when she opens up to him about how losing a family member messes with your mind. After that, Severide starts talking to her about his feelings, making Kidd jealous but happy.
Casey and Namoi get a clue about their arson investigation, not to mention a threatening voicemail asking them to stop investigating. Their investigation leads to a place in Indiana. They see something familiar there, and someone is watching them as they break in.
But the hunt for a photo from Boden's past really stood out in this episode. The hunt was for a calendar photo of Boden as Mr. September 1990. After looking around from the library to the Chicago Fire Museum, I realized I needed help. Even Herrmann goes to the last person that might know, Donna. She tells him she doesn't know where it would be, but she has one in her closet.
"The Solution to Everything" was another classic episode of Chicago Fire that balances out the drama, humor, and intense storytelling, mainly the Casey and Namoi investigation that could lead to something in the fall finale in two weeks. The episode had some excellent character development and writing, too. There was another moment with Casey and Brett; I think they could be a couple. It could be my mind playing with me. And Kelly and Foster talking was a good sign that he would be fine and talk with Kidd. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch the fall finale of Chicago Fire on on Wednesday, December 5th,, at 9/8c on NBC.
Will Atwater put his heart before his badge when someone he falls in love with becomes a suspect in a murder investigation? Here's a recap of this week's episode of Chicago PD.
"Black & Blue" was another marvelous episode that puts Atwater in a challenging situation that, if it went any other way, I would be okay with it. Trying to go a drug bust that turned into one of the kids selling the drugs ended up dead. When the intelligence gets a lead on their suspect, it also leads to a relationship that Atwater gets into.
Using her to get to their suspect, they found fingerprints of Atwater's friend that were connected to the murder. In troubled waters, Atwater decides to work a badge instead of his heart. But when the suspect that they are after is dead, the kid that he was chasing shoots him. Atwater's friend will take on the murder charges and possibly get out in three years. Atwater decides to help the kid who killed his boss and tossed the gun he used in the Chicago River.
It was another well-performed, intense character development episode, and it was one of the best Atwater episodes so far this season. I wouldn't be surprised if she's back three years from now and confronts Atwater. Overall, I give this episode an 8.7/ 10.
You can catch the fall finale of Chicago PD on Wednesday, December 5th, at 10/9c on NBC.
Will this be the end of #Manstead? Will Dr. Rhodes face the new rules for the hybrid OR? Here's a recap of this week's Chicago Med.
With Will facing pressure to stop treating Ray, instead of taking it out on them, he takes his anger against Natalie and their patients. He is trying to get Will to let his patient go so they can override the consent for his daughter to donate her organs, but he doesn't want to do it. But when Goodwin and the board decided to let the father go. Thinking that this could be the end of Manstead, as Will is up on the roof, Natalie joins him and asks if he wants the ring back. Instead of saying yes, he tells her he wants to marry her, and the two hug with emotion.
Rhodes gets word from Goodwin that the hybrid OR will be used for other surgeries. That news doesn't sit well with him, and it builds increasingly more of a battle with Lanik. After taking the OR back, Rhodes performs a dangerous operation that pisses Lanik, but in the end, the patient comes out okay. But when Goodwin heard of what happened with Rhodes, she told him that she was the one who authorized it, not Garrett. But she threatened him that if he ever did that again, she would fire him. That did turn Ava on and got her and Rhodes kissed in the prep room.
Maggie and April butted heads because of their way of managing the ED. With Maggie being Rhodes' top OR nurse, things have been relatively smooth without her when April takes over. After confronting, the two made up.
Ethan and Charles take on a case of the week when a veteran comes in with Vicki. The patient comes with a horrible head wound that's caused by itching. She tells Ethan that she can't stop itching, and it worsens. But when Neurosurgeon sees her, he thinks that she needs surgery. But Charles doesn't think so and teaches Ethan how the mind can play horrible tricks on you. After leading the trick of playing with the mind, Ethan agrees that their patient doesn't need surgery and gets her to do a test. After looking in the mirror and scratching the other side of her head, her itching was about gone. Will it help in the long term? We'll have to wait and see.
"Playing By My Rules" was another fantastic episode. There were many intense and emotional moments in this episode, from Natalie and Will butting heads on their patients to Rhodes going rouge against Lanik again and Goodwin in his ED OR. The case of the week with Ethan and Charles was a strong story that kept the episode interesting as it went on. Here I was, thinking it was a bug. And there were moments of WOW! from Rhodes and Ava kissing to Natalie and Will staying together. But Ethan decides to ask Vicki out, with April viewing it too. Ouch! Drama, right?
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch the fall finale of Chicago Med on Wednesday, December 5th, at 8/7c on NBC.
Last night's episode of This Is Us was just another reason why this show is at it's best.
"Sometimes" was another amazing episode; with such strong character development and moments that didn't make the story too loud or soft. Whether it's Jack trying to get his brother to come to his army base; but he doesn't want to nor does his Sargent. Or Jack and Rebecca taking a trip to LA and having a good time. But when they had their own thing with Rebecca going to a record company and Jack talking to a former falling soldier's family I think that they didn't expect what they would be facing and that things happen sometimes for a reason.
But the Kevin and Zoe story was probably the silent story stealer of the episode. When Kevin and Zoe head to Vietnam, Zoe tells Kevin not to tag her on social media because of her father being around and wants to reconnect with her. After Kevin sees that the necklace might have been bought at a shop; but really it had a long journey as we can see it. After Zoe gets sick (probably from eating a dish that had bat), she tells Kevin the real reason why she doesn't want to meet with her dad, because he sexually abused her as a child. And soon the two really connected with their relationship.
I was amazed at this episode from start to finish like other episodes of the show. But watching the character of Jack going through a lot of things from the war to traveling with Rebecca was an emotional ride with some much good fun too. But Zoe's story was really powerful and Melanie Liburd gives a strong and stunning performance. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
