All Hail The Great.....: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Cinco De Mayo"

The Heist is BACK! Who's worthy of the belt?! Find out and see!

"Cinco De Mayo" gave us an episode that we hoped we would get after NBC picked up the show from FOX. The Heist is back and even though it wasn't on Halloween; it made it even better. The episode really steps it up from the previous Heist episode; even though Jake's proposal to Amy was my all time favorite, this one comes close to second.

Just when you think that either Jake could win it; because he's Jake Peralta, one of the best detectives out there. But when it stopped on an injured Terry, after all, he's gone through a lot in this episode just trying to take his mind off of the lieutenant's exam. But the shocker comes when the winner is actually Terry and the scheme that got him to win was all planned out all the way to Halloween of last year as that gas explosion was part of his plan.

As much as I have said about every episode of this season; because this has really been Brooklyn Nine-Nine's best season by far, but this was literally the best episode of the season. The writing was as strong as ever; even the character development with adding Scully's twin brother was a shock to the television viewing system. Adding Kevin to the mix made it even better and not to mention Jake and Amy tasing each other with their gifts that they got each other was just hilarious.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine one-hour season finale next Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

Fun and Stressful Time at Cloud 9: Superstore "Scanners"/"#Cloud9Fail"

"Scanners" 

Another fun episode with games and even setbacks. Here's a recap!

As Amy announces that Corporate wants everyone to cut down on their hours per week. With a whole lot of bad feedback, Amy tells everyone that it's Dina that settled the schedule because she can take all those sad stories and throw them away; but not this time as Dina suffers from back pain every time she hears sad stories. She finally snaps and gives everyone all the hours that they need, even talking with Amy about it they agreed about cutting others employees' hours like Jonah.

It's a fun time at Cloud 9 when the store gets new digital scanners. It soon becomes a game between Team Yogurt vs Team Soup and the winner who can scan everyone from their opponent's team wins. After making some moves, Jonah and Glenn fell for Cheyenne's injury as they got scanned, but what Garrett scanned was their own tags.

I very much enjoyed this episode, from Jonah vs Garrett battling who can scan the most to Amy and Dina dealing with the hourly cutbacks. I just love that scene when Amy is down on the floor with Dina and not only help pull her leg, but also asking about what she watches and it was YouTube. Why? Because it has everything on it that you ever need. That's a classic scene right there. Very good story and character development. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"#Cloud9Fail" 

Not only does Cloud 9 deal with more hourly cutbacks but deals with social media shamming that even bring HR. Here's a recap!

With more hourly cutbacks, Cloud 9 is not only dealing with shorter hours but also one hell of a messy story that even customers post photos and videos of it on social media. When Amy talks to Corporate about it, she learns that they can give her more hours if needed. With that in mind, Amy and Jonah decide to do more on social media to get more hours but it turned into a visit from Luanne (guest star Chrissy Metz), from the HR department.

Luanne knows that it was an employee because they used the passcode WiFi at the story. That lead her with Dina to look at the security cameras but the only thing that they saw was Garrett releasing Dina's birds. Don't worry I'll get to that later. Soon Luanne talks with Amy and Jonah about the person's pass searches and soon Carol shows up tell Luanne that it was Sandra because she saw Sandra with her boyfriend in the previous episode and wants to get back at her.

Sandra gets fired and not only is sad for a bit but gets pumped from the staff who cheered for her to fight the power of Corporate. We see Sandra doing something that we've never seen her do before and it was fantastic!

Also, Dina pulls Garrett aside and get him to see something...it was his sneakers collection in flames. She gets even with him and tells him that she knows what he did to her birds. Not to mention that the employees try to use their time to have a garage sale; someone needs to tell them what Superman #1 is worth and Micky Mantle rookie card too. Crazy!!

"#Cloud9Fail" was another fantastic episode from beginning to the end. Chrissy Metz's performance was very good and even the scene with Dina was hilarious. Welcome to Cloud 9, Chrissy!! The Amy and Jonah story was very good; I couldn't get enough of it as they try to figure out how to get out of the situation. And not to mention, Dina finding out about her birds. That really bit Garrett in the sneakers. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.

FYI: Next week's episode is Sanda's Fight. I kind of wonder if we're gonna see Sandra like we never have seen her before.

Upset to Pleasant: Superstore "Cloud Green"

As Cloud 9 tries to stay clean for Earth Day, someone has a hard time letting go who's in charge. Here's a recap!

With it being Earth Day week at Cloud 9, Amy tells the staff that corporate wants everyone to be Earth-friendly when doing certain things. As Jonah tries to be the spokesperson for the team; it doesn't go so well and leaves it with Cheyenne and the rest to form their own Green Team. But Jonah comes back after seeing how fun they are having; soon worked together under Jonah in Charge.

Glenn gets his Pastor to come to Cloud 9 to advertise and speak out to those in faith, but it's a shock to Amy because Glenn never asked her for permission. After letting it slide, the Pastor drives Amy and Dina a bit crazy and kicks him out of the store.

This upsets Glenn and he throws one of the biggest Glenn fits that we've never seen before. It turns into one of the funniest scenes between Amy and Glenn when Glenn highjacks Amy's office to talk religion, but as Amy starts to write up Glenn for his behavior, Glenn started to help Amy with how to do things as manager and it was quite a scene ender.

"Cloud Green" was good but it got better as the episode moving forward. As much as I enjoyed the staying green at Cloud 9; it wasn't anything close to the Amy and Glenn storyline in this episode. That was probably the winner of this episode. I enjoyed so much watching the character development of Amy and Glenn that even if they fight, they are still there at the end when Glenn helps Amy with managing things that she still doesn't know how to do. I thought that the story was brilliant. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Blindspot Renewed For Fifth (Final) Season

Well, just like Jane Doe's tattoos, Blindspot won't be going anywhere.

On Friday, NBC has announced that Blindspot will be renewed for a fifth and final season. No word on the count of episodes, but it could be around 13 or less.

The news comes that might give the fans a bit of whiplash after learning a week or so ago that the network pulled the final three episodes from May sweeps. But the rest of the episodes of Season 4 will start on Friday, May 24 and the two-hour season finale will be May 31.

The series creator Martin Gero told TVLive in a previous interview that the season four finale will bring the FBI team to Iceland, where the episode was filmed. "They're following a clue" about Madeline Burke's planned attack on the Eastern seaboard. "Something happens on the way there that makes the episode take a hard turn."

Geno adds that the episode will "reinvent the show in a huge way." That "a twist and a dimensionality that we have not been able to play with yet."

The show's ratings is currently averaging under a 0.5 demo rating, ranking last among the current NBC dramas, while holding 2.8 million viewers.

I'm literally happy that the show gets to end on good terms. I can't wait to see how this show ends and if we will get a happy ending. I've been a fan since the first trailer of the season one and I just love and connect with these rich and fun characters. 

Life In Pieces Canceled After 4 Seaons

Well, it's the end with the Short family. 

Deadline has learned that CBS has announced on Friday that they've canceled Life In Pieces after four seasons.

Life In Pieces revolved around one big family, The Shorts; their sometimes awkward but ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by the various members.

Created by Justin Adler; the show had literally had one of the best family sitcom casts, fronting by Dianne Wiest and James Brolin. Along with Betsy Brandt, Zoe Lister-Jones, Colin Hanks, Angelique Cabral, Thomas Sadoski, Dan Bakkedahl, Niall Cummingham, Holly J. Barrett, Giselle Eisenberg, and Hunter King.

The current season is averaging a 0.84 demo rating and 5.8 million total viewers, which is down 24, and 10 percent from Season 3.

I'm very disappointed that CBS has canceled this show as it's literally one of my favorite comedies on the network.  I had such high hopes; even though the series has just aired its fifth episode of 13 in its current season.  Well, I'm gonna treasure each of the remaining episodes of this season.


You can catch Life In Pieces Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on CBS.

Fresh Off The Boat and Single Parents Renewed By ABC

On Friday, ABC announced that Fresh Off The Boat and Single Parents have been renewed.

Fresh Off The Boat will be renewed for a sixth season. Coming off a nicely wrapped up Season 5 that could have gone either way of being renewed or canceled. The Constance Wu and Randall Park lead stars portrayals parents of a rap-loving high schooler Eddie (Hudson Yang), with younger brother Emery (Forrest Wheeler) and Evan (Ian Chen). Along with Lucille Soong plays the wheelchair-bound grandma who always knows more than the rest of the family. 

Single Parents will be renewed for a second season. Coming off what I would call an amazing first season. The Taran Killam stars along with Leighton Meester, Brad Garrett, Kimrie Lewis, and Jake Choi. The series co-created by Elizabeth Meriwether and J.J. Philbin. 

I'm so thrilled for both shows getting renewed. I was hoping for FOTB to get renewed but the season finale really left me wondering if they would get a season six. As for Single Parents, it's one of the best new comedies of the year. The writing and the cast ensemble is outstanding.

Love in the Air? Chicago Fire "No Such Thing As Bad Luck"/"Until The Weather Breaks"

"No Such Thing As Bad Luck"

Boden meets a blast from his past during a rescue, while Cruz gets an award for his service with the CPD. Here's a recap!

During a house fire call, Boden meets a high school friend, but Casey and Severide think she might have set it up. Well, Boden got to the bottom of it and, later on, learned that her son was the one who set the fire as he was addicted to drugs. Boden gets between him and her, sees him drop the gun, and offers help at a drug rehab center.

After his heroic duty with Chicago PD, Cruz was awarded a commendation for his work. But after he learns about the award, he ignores Severide's orders during that house fire call. Later, when heiss about to get his commendation, he knows that Severide will be the one to give it to his play and sing it on his jacket.

Kidd and Otis thought they had made a colossal mistake when they learned that the dog statue was Molly's good luck charm, and giving it away had caused lousy luck. Herrmann gets word of the IRS auditing the bar. Kidd and Otis try to get the statue back, but when they bring it up at the firehouse, the figure is broken, and later that night,t Herrmann tells them that things are good to leave the statue broken.

Severide and Kidd's relationship takes an awkward turn as some think that Severide has stayed at the bar until Kidd leaves. Foster is in it and tells Severide that maybe he will give her space.

The episexcellentery is good. I thought that Boden's high school friend was going to go after him in a fatal attraction meets fire t, but it wasn't and well written. I couldn't get enough of the humor storyline of the hunt for the dog statue. And I think Severide is learning not to be so protective as he could win Kidd by not being always there. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"Until The Weather Breaks"

Chicago Fire is back with an exciting new episode that will not only play with your heart but leave you on the edge of your seat. 

I enjoyed the episode "Until The Weather Breaks" as it's probably one of my favorite episodes of the season; I could reach up there in bottle episodes on this show. Firehouse 51 gets a surprise visitor, a kid hiding in the firehouse. Everyone tries to comfort the kid from Brett, Casey, and even Tuesday, but the reason is the real thriller as the kid was a witness in a murder, and one of the shooters happens to find him and looks for him.  But that got stopped when Otis called out on his game, and everyone tried to get him out and away from the kid, but thanks to Severide and Brett, the guy was caught.

Also, in the episode, there is more Severide and Kidd drama, leading to Kidd learning that Foster helped Severide deal with his feelings for Kidd. Casey wants to take an adventurous trip around the world, while Severide doesn't like the idea; Brett thinks it's fantastic and cute. She even asked Casey if he was down for a group trip. Why not?

"Until The Weather Breaks" is probably one of my top ten episodes of this season. It had an outstanding balance of dramatic and humorous moments that I can't get enough of. We get some good character development with Casey and Brett (not a lot), but Otis is affected by the gunman coming into the firehouse. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire on Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
