Thoughts:

It's hard to believe that we're just two episodes left this season and I feel that these last two episodes for both shows like riding a freight train going high speed. 

Could Manning's mother take a turn for the worst after what the drug trial medication has been doing? I'm excited to see how this will end now that we know that Dr. Manning and April Sexton won't be back for season seven. 

For Fire, I can't wait to see what's next for Stella after SPOILER ALERT....passed her test! Where will she be going? Looking forward to Mouch's award ceremony. Plus more Stella and Severide moments, and why he wants to back away from proposing to her. And why Casey isn't talking to Brett about what Granger told him about. 

PD looks to be very good as could we see Deputy Superintendent being push to the limit? Will Ruzek be part of an undercover? I can't wait!

Virtual World: Chicago Med "What A Tangled Web We Weave"/"A Red Pill, A Blue Pill"

"What A Tangled Web We Weave"

Oh my god! What an episode this turned out to be! 

We see Goodwin entering the ED after an accident involving a young boy riding his bike at night. Goodwin tries to get information about the boy. However, the situation soon turns when she confronts the boy's mother and tries to explain why she did not perform the surgery. 

But it turns out that after the surgery, Goodwin gets word about DCFS coming; she does one more thing to help the mother: giving her a job and a place for her boys to stay while she's working. 

Manning gets worried after her mother has developed a cough after taking the trial drugs. As soon she asks Will about it, Will searches for those pills that Kinder did not pick up. It even gets Will and Marcel to bump heads with one another with a patient who doesn't want surgery. 

Meanwhile, Maggie tries to meet her long-lost daughter, who is in the medical field. When April signs up for a nurse practitioner position, Dr. Archer forces her to perform a procedure that puts her in an uncomfortable situation. 

"What a Tangled Web We Weave" was such a good episode. Even though she broke the rules, I couldn't get enough of Goodwin's storyline. Goodwin being Goodwin. Manning also plays with Halstead and Marcel about her mother. It's wild, but I loved their argument in this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"A Red Pill, A Blue Pill"

Are we living in a Matrix simulation? 

Dr. Archer, Dr. Charles, and April tend to a patient with abdominal pain who refuses treatment because he believes he's in a computer simulation. The patient pushes Archer, which worries April because he seems to overdose on the patient to get surgery. 

Natalie rushed to the ED with her mother as her health declined. Will soon suspected Natalie was the person who took the trial medication. After hearing that Natalie's mother's heart is improving, Will decides to give more of the trial drug, slowly move her out of the LVAD, and get her on the transplant. 

Marcel tends to a patient who came in with a gunshot but couldn't find the bullet until it was in his child's body. Marcel saves the child just in time. Maggie gets to watch her daughter work in the ED but gets in trouble with Ethan. 

"A Red Pill, A Blue Pill" was a good episode that kept me on my toes for the whole hour. It's from an excellent #Manstead storyline. Of course, I ate that up. Plus, the Archer storyline is getting good, and Maggie and Vanessa were also as good. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

NBC 2021-2022 Fall Schedule: This Is Us get 2022 Premiere, All Law & Order Thursday, Brooklyn Nine-Nine Gets After Olympic Premiere

 

On Friday, NBC was the first broadcast network to unveil its 2021-2022 game plan and there's something funny about it. There's no sitcom for the first time(?) on the network's fall schedule. But there's a resurgent of Law and Order.

The fall schedule will have a big Law& Order Thursday with Law & Order: For the Defense will kick off at 8pm, followed by SVU and Organized Crime. Dick Wolf now owns almost 30 percent of NBC's schedule!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's 10-episode final season will premiere this summer following the summer Olympics.

The Voice will only air one cycle next season, in the fall. 

This Is Us's final season will premiere at midseason, but the delay contains a silver lining: All 18 episodes will air uninterrupted.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Good Girls are MIA as the networks are still deciding and will make an announcement in the coming weeks. 

Here's the Fall Schedule:

MONDAY:

8/7c The Voice

10/9c Ordinary Joe (NEW)

TUESDAY

8/7c The Voice

9/8c La Brea (NEW)

10/9c New Amsterdam

WEDNESDAY

8/7c Chicago Med

9/8c Chicago FIre

10/9c Chicago PD

THURSDAY

8/7c Law & Order: For the Defense (NEW)

9/8c Law & Order SVU

10/9c Law & Order: Organized Crime

FRIDAY

8/7c The Blacklist

9/8c Dateline NBC

SATURDAY:

8/7c Drama Encores

9/8c Dateline Saturday night Mystery

10/9c SNL Encores

SUNDAY

7/6c Football Night in America

8/7c Sunday Night Football

Midseason: AGT: Extreme, American Auto, America Song Contest, Grand Crew, Kenan, Mr. Mayo, The Thing About Pam, This Is Us, Young Rock.

The fall schedule looks pretty good with the addition of For the Defense making Thursday night Law & Order night. It's kind of strange that there are no comedies in the fall. This Is Us final season holding back until midseason is a smart move and Brooklyn Nine-Nine gets the after Olympic premiere for its final season is another one too. 

I wonder if with AGT Extreme holding for midseason, will it take place of the second cycle of The Voice? That's something to see and it looks like they're going to take what American Idol has done for the past 20 years.

This Is Us To End After Sixth Seasons

Well, we'll need to prepare to say goodbye to the Pearsons.

The Hollywood Reporter is exclusively reporting that NBC's tearjerking family drama This is Us will end with its sixth season.

THR has not got any comments from NBC and 20th Television, NBC is said to be planning an official announcement of the final season of Friday, when the network will unveil its fall schedule for the 2021-2022 season ahead of its May 17th Upfronts.

This doesn't come as a shock as back in 2019, This Is Us was renewed for three seasons (Season 4, 5, & 6), though there were no plans for the show's sixth season to be the last. The creator Dan Fogelman has mentioned that he has a six-season plan to tell the story in the past. 

While there's no word on how many episodes will be in the final seasons (normally it would be 18). Currently, Season Five is airing with a span of 16 episodes.

The Season 5 finale is set for Tuesday, May 25 at 10/9c on NBC.

Two Original Chicago Med Cast Members Exits After Season 6

 

Well, it looks like two of the original cast members of NBC medical drama won't be scrubbing in for next season. 

Deadline has reported that Rorrey DeVitto and Yaya DaCosta will not return for the Chicago Fire spinoff's seventh season.

DeCosta has been cast in Lee Daniel's Our Kind of People, which received a straight-to-series order at Fox earlier this year. DeVitto does not have a new TV gig lined up, instead of acting in the indie film, Skelly.

As for the rest of the Chicago Med cast, S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, Nick Gehlfuu, Brian Tee, and Marlyne Barrett are expected to return, though their contracts are currently being negotiated. 

Stay tuned...

While this is somewhat of a shock to hear, looking at where these two characters are heading into as the season comes to an end it's pretty clear that they're set to leave. Dr. Manning might be leaving due to her actions to help her mother and April looking for a change. 

But that leaves another question, will Dominic Rains be leaving too? Will his character, Dr. Crockett Marcel be leaving with Natalie?
