What's On Tonight (Wednesday 1/15): Abbott Elementary

Trailer: Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

How am I just now finding out that there is a new Wallace & Gromit movie. Apparently, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl premiered on Friday, January 3rd on Netflix and I'm just now finding out about it. Anyway, I can't wait to watch this, it's a sequel to the animated short Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers which is where Wallace & Gromit first met that penguin Feathers McGraw who turned out to be a thief. And it looks like he's back to seek his revenge against them. Okay, why does that scene at the end of the trailer remind me of The Penguin and his lair from the Batman Returns movie.

Currently Reading: Murder is Binding

Although, I'm still reading Star Wars: Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn, I wanted to start reading this mystery book, Murder is Binding by Lorna Barrett. It's been a while since I've read a mystery and I'm going to start reading this today.

Book: Murder is Binding (Booktown Mysteries book #1) by Lorna Barrett

Description:

The streets of Stoneham, New Hampsire are lined with bookstores...and paved with murder.

When she moved to Stoneham, city slicker Tricia Miles met nothing but friendly faces. And when she opened her mystery bookstore, she met friendly competition. But when she finds Doris Gleason dead in her own cookbook store, killed by a carving knife, the atmosphere seems more cutthroat than cordial. Someone wanted to get their hands on the rare cookbook that Doris had recently purchased-and the locals think that someone is Tricia. To clear her name, Tricia will have to take a page out of one of her own mysteries-and hunt down someone who isn't killing by the book.

What's On Tonight (Friday 1/10): Happy's Place and Lopez vs Lopez

I know with so much happening in the world the last thing some might wantt to see is a post about TV shows. I wasn't sure if I should post What's On Tonight but at times when things are rough, a little humor can help boost your spirits. Tonight I was going to watch Happy's Place and Lopez vs Lopez.

For Happy's Place, Bobbie's daughter Gracie is visiting and I hope that won't cause any tension or problems between Gracie and Bobbie's newly discovered sister, Isabella. I believe this will be the first time that they will meet. So Bobbie will probably try to make sure everything is perfect for Gracie's visit.

As for Lopez vs Lopez, I hope the writers are not using this storyline of Rosie suing her ex Josué as a way to get them back together. Ever since he was mention early on this season and then returned in last week's episode, I just have this feeling they are trying to get them back together. It would be better if all this ended with Rosie getting closure and moving on. I guess I'll see how the episode ends and see whether they do end up getting back together or Rosie simply gets closure.


8:00 PM EST

Happy's Place season 1 episode 10: The MacAllister Girls                                 8:00 PM EST                                                 NBC

Description:

When Bobbie's strong-willed daughter, Gracie, comes to visit from her military base in Qatar, Bobbie worries she and Isabella might not get along. Gabby, Emmett, Steve and Takoda all compete to give Gracie the best homemade gift.

What's On Tonight (Thursday 1/9): Animal Control and Going Dutch

Last week's third season premiere episode of Animal Control was really funny. The escaped animals from the zoo kind of reminded me of the fifth season opener for 9-1-1 since the firefighters had to deal with an emergency call involving escaped animals. Anyway, for tonight's episode I'm surprised Victoria is mad about Patel's newfound fame especially since she's the one who put him in the spotlight. Perhaps, she's a little jealous because usually she's the center of attention. It will be interesting to see how they sort this out.

And one more thing, I didn't see any chemistry between Frank and Yasmin and I'm glad the writers didn't drag out this relationship. However, I can see her appearing again maybe as a stalker especially since Frank was right that she had some sort of obsession with him. He knew something wasn't quite right about her but he let his friends talk him out of breaking up with her because they thought she was cool and awesome. But Frank was right. However, next time he should just break up instead of ghosting his girlfriend and escaping out of a restaurant's bathroom window.

As for Going Dutch, this is such a wacky show and I enjoyed watching the first episode. These are some of the strangest soldiers but they're interesting. I like that Colonel Patrick Quinn and his daughter Captain Maggie Quinn are on their way to rebuilding their relationship after years of being estranged. And that they are going to work together to remake the base into something that caters to both their interests. I'm looking forward to seeing tonight's episode to see what wackiness will happen next.


9:00 PM EST

Animal Control season 3 episode 2: Rattlers and Gators                            9:00 PM EST                                           FOX

Description:

Emily tries to keep Frank away to avoid offending her rich new benefactor. Patel's new fame ends up pushing Victoria to her limit.

Cause: Los Angeles Fire Department

If seeing all the fires burning in Los Angeles feel so scary and devastating, I can only imagine how it must feel living there and experiencing all this. And the firefighters seem to be doing everything they can but they still seem so overwhelmed. And I'm sure their resources are probably spread pretty thin.

So, if you would like to help, you could make a donation to the LAFD Wildfire Emergency Funding Alert at the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. I made a small donation, it doesn't seem like enough but I'm sure every little bit helps. So, if you can, please make a donation.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday 1/8): Abbott Elementary and Chicago Fire

Happy Wednesday!

My Wednesday line up returns and this time I don't have to choose which show to watch or tape. Since Abbott Elementary is on at 8:30 PM. So, Abbott Elementary returns with a crossover with the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I have never seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia but I'm sure tonight's episode of Abbott Elementary is going to be funny. And hopefully it's written in a way to give a brief explanation of who those characters are for anyone who has never watched that show.

As for Chicago Fire, it looks like it's continuing from the last episode with Cruz dealing with a situation from his past. I'm also interested in seeing if Mouch is successful in finding a victim's family member.


8:30 PM EST

Abbott Elementary season 4 episode 9: Volunteers                            8:30 PM EST                                           ABC

Art of the Day: Elphaba Thropp (Wicked)

Artwork: Elphaba Thropp by Bia (stephgingrich)

I love this artwork. Although, I read the Wicked book by Gregory Maguire years ago, I still haven't had a chance to see the movie yet. But I did buy the soundtrack and it's so amazing to listen to. I really can't wait to watch the movie.

What's On Tonight (Tuesday 1/7): Will Trent, High Potential, The Irrational and The Rookie

Tuesday is procedural night because not only is High Potential and The Irrational back from hiatus but it's also the season premiere of Will Trent and The Rookie. Since, I posted this a little late, I'm going to get some snacks and sit back and relax and watch my shows. At ten, I'll have to see whether I will watch or tape either: The Irrational or The Rookie.

Although it's not on my list but there is a new medical drama Doc premiering tonight at 9:00 PM EST on FOX.

What's On Tonight (Monday 1/6): Brilliant Minds

Happy Monday!

There's two new back-to-back episodes of Brilliant Minds which includes the season finale. I can't believe this season is already over. Since, I'm not really a fan of medical shows, I'm glad I took a chance on watching Brilliant Minds. This turned out to be a really good show. I'm interested in seeing how the season end.


9:00 PM EST
