Oh man! Could Dr. Charles be leaving Med for good? I'm not quite sure that will happen. I think that Conner will be dealing with some powerful stuff this week that not only with that kid and his father in the clip but probably losing his dad too. Maybe Will could take some lessons from Ethan and April in relationships. Anyone think Emily will bail on her baby? Two more episodes left! It's so hard to believe that we are coming to the end of the season.

You can catch Chicago Med Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Facing Head On: Chicago Fire "Try Like Hell"

From a mysterious fire to will they, won't they, here's a recap of this week's episode of Chicago Fire.

When Firehouse 51 comes to another apartment/salon on fire, Severide and Boden get word that it might be arson, and the salon owner is the suspect. But Severide doesn't think so in his opinion and soon proves that theory that it might have been set up by someone else. Later on, Severide tells Boden that something seems so familiar like he's seen this case before; right when he figured it out, he found the case file of the same arson case in Benny's cabin. We got ourselves a cold chance to solve!

Casey and Brett get close and help each other with their relationship problem. Brett tries to set up Casey with a friend who works at the gym, but she doesn't think so after the game night they had had. But she tells Brett he's perfect for her as they connect, playing charades. Even Casey tries to talk to Kyle about Brett about the same thing. Hell, you know I've been saying Casey and Brett look like a relationship is starting to bloom after the second episode.

Also, Mouch, Herrmann, and the gang get called out by another firehouse for stealing equipment. Of course, they tell them they returned it; even Boden receives an invoice for $1,000 for the thing and even calls their chief about it. But the guys found that piece in their firehouse and tried to take it back with Kidd's help, but the plan failed, and Boden not only apologized but made Herrmann, Kidd, Mouch, Cruz, and Otis clean that other firehouse's trucks.

"Try Like Hell" was another excellent episode that has two storylines that will carry into the season finale; one is the mystery arson case that has reappeared, and two is the relationship between Casey and Brett. I think this cold case, arson, will not only give Benny some closure, but I guess Severide with his relationship and that he can let it go.

The Brett and Casey thing seems to be progressing smoothly and building up. Will they come to grips with it, or will they push each other away? I've said it since episode two of this season, and I think they should try it, and I think it would work out. When playing charades, Brett was given clues, and Casey got it right: Emergency the TV Series (look it up!). Also, I took a poll on Twitter during the show, and a good margin wants them to be in a relationship.

The episode had standout moments like Boden standing up for his firefighters. Plus, Severide stands up for the lady who lost her salon: good writing, good character development, and overall good performances. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Ment To Be: Life In Pieces "Sonogram Frog Rub Family"

From trying to know the sex of the baby to living the best of your life. Here's a recap of this week's episode of Life in Piece. You might want to grab a tissue or a few.

As Jen and Greg go in for a sonogram for a check-up on the baby, they decline the option to know the sex of their baby. But Greg wants to know so severely as he hopes for a boy. Stealing the sonogram photo, he keeps the photo in his pants pocket, but throughout the day or two, something comes around, like spilling or water. But Jen takes it and throws it in the trash only later to look at it and get Tim's point of view to say it's a boy. That is until the next sonogram, which turned out to be a girl.

Clementine and Tyler found a frog and brought it to show Sam and Sophia, but they learn that the frog is a danger to the California environment and must kill it. As much as Clementine and Sam don't want to kill it, they try to get one of the family members to do it, but don't let Greg do it even though he said he killed an opossum. They try to do roulette with the frog in one bag upon four bags, and they throw down bricks simultaneously; just as they did,t Clementine tells everyone that she lost the frog before switching the bags.

Tim is living his best life right now, and boy, does it get annoying with the family. Even Heather doesn't want to be around Tim anymore. When Heather and Joan get Tim to hang with John, it turns into a following as John had almost been killed by the loose saw blade that passed him, and now Tim and John are kissing everyone, including Matt and Heather.

The final story in the episode was probably the best of the four, as a worried Matt and Colleen try to get an update about Morgan and the baby. When the adoption agent calls, Matt and Colleen meet a young boy who takes a piece of candy and soon leaves, only to learn that Morgan has decided to keep the baby. Heartbroken as they are, as Colleen talks to Matt about it, that same little boy came to them and gave them that same piece of candy to cheer them up. As he left to play and get ready for his adoptive parents, Colleen and Matt learned that he was going to foster care; I think they might take him.

This episode was excellent from start to finish on such a strong note. The fourth story of Colleen and Matt was the best story and the most powerful one; it captured the moment of a couple not being able to get the child, as the mother decided to keep the child. As sad as it was to watch them go through with that, that little kid shined a light on them that made me laugh and cry. The story is coming at a time when adoptions are a topic of conversation these days. Life In Pieces is ahead of its time and issues like Parenthood did years ago—strong writing with such a fantastic performance from the cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

This recap/review comes less than a day after CBS announced that the series had been canceled after four seasons. That's a load of crap from a Network that puts quantity over quality. They keep shows with higher rated, even if it's crapy shows over lower rated shows that are very good.
Look at NBC, FOX, and ABC on their sitcoms and see that they kept shows even when the ratings were down. Shows like Superstore, New Girl, Parks and Recreation, and even Fresh Off The Boat have had lower total rating numbers, but the networks have renewed them because those shows are not only beloved by many fans, critics, and viewers but have quality.

I'm sorry, but Man with a Plan is not a great show, yet CBS renewed it on Friday but canceled almost their entire comedy lineup. I think that CBS should reconsider un-canceling Life In Pieces; bring it back and place it in the fall and not a month till the end of the damn regular television season. Let's try to pull a Nine-Nine for them!

I've been a fan of Life In Pieces since I first heard about it; I thought that this was a different family sitcom than I've seen before. It is by far the best ensemble cast in a family sitcom. They just fit like a real family that I want to see week in and week out. I love them. And the writing on this show is unbelievable, with what they pull off is fantastic and brilliant.

Thank you for letting me rant.

You can catch the final episodes of Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

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.
