What's On Tonight (Monday 11/18): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

Happy Monday!

There's only four shows for tonight: 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds. Although The Neighborhood and Poppa's House are on tonight, both are showing repeat episodes.

On 9-1-1: Lone Star, I'm sure T.K. and Carlos will end up caring for T.K. little brother Jonah now that T.K. stepfather Enzo will more than likely go to prison. I hope Tommy will get to heal and eventually go back to being Paramedic Captain again. I know Fire Captain Owen had a different type of cancer than Tommy but he never had to stop working at the 126. I hope Tommy will return as Captain by the end the series.

With Superman & Lois, I have mixed feelings about Clark having to tell the world that he's Superman. That secret was one of the few things that allow Clark and his family a normal life. And now that it's been revealed, what's going to stop some villain from going after Clark and his family. Over the years, Superman has dealt with hundreds if not thousands of horrible ruthless villains which is why this felt like such a terrible decision. Anyway, it looks like things are going to get messy with Lex Luthor trying to paint Lois in a bad light. Lex Luthor is horrible and continues to harrass the Kent family because he feel he has been wronged instead of taking responsibility for all the horrible things he does. Hopefully, this will end well for Lois.

For Rescue: Hi-Surf, it's an early Christmas episode. And according to the description Sonny doesn't think Laka is ready to become a lieutenant. But Laka has definitely grown since the first episode, he's not as irresponsible as he was initally shown. I sure once he keeps proving that he's changed, he'll get a chance for a promotion. And it looks like things are heating up with Will and Em but until Will ends things with Julie, this is not going end well for Emm.

And finally is Brilliant Minds, Dr. Oliver Wolf has a new patient who is either dealing with Dementia or something else. Last week's episode has either start of something between Dr. Wolf and Dr. Josh Nichols or they were simply fulfilling the wish of Dr. Wolf's late patient. There's also the spark of something possibly a love triangle in the making with Dr. Van Markus having a crush on Dr. Ericka Kinney who has a crush on Dr. Jacob Nash. So we'll see how this will work out.


8:00 PM EST

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 episode 8: The Quiet Ones                        8:00 PM EST                                 FOX

Description:

A gang killing leads Carlos to new information on his father's murder. T.K. contemplates a major life decision. Owen is determined to get Austin's first responders' health care coverages increased.

Fandom Thoughts: Buck, Tommy's Cruelty and the Break Up Cycle (9-1-1)

I'm really interested in knowing what Evan "Buck" Buckley told Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Henrietta "Hen" Wilson about his break up with Tommy Kinard. Because whatever it was had Eddie and Hen playing keep away with Buck's phone in order to stop Buck from calling Tommy in the episode Hotshots (season 8 episode 7). I'm sure he told them that while he was in the process of asking Tommy to move in with him that's when Tommy broke up with him (back in the episode Confessions (season 8 episode 6)).

Despite Buck's moving in declaration, you could tell he wasn't in love with Tommy. Buck was just chasing love as well as him not wanting to be alone. Anyway, I just found it interesting considering Tommy was a sort of friend (acquaintance) to Eddie and Hen. However, there was no giving Tommy a benefit of a doubt from either one of them. Instead, they immediately went into protect mode for Buck. I also found it interesting that Buck was surprised by Tommy's cruelty in Confessions. I really wish the Showrunner and writers when they brought Tommy back didn't pretend like he hadn't been racist, sexist, etc. to Hen and Howard "Chimney" Han in the episodes Hen Begins (season 2 episode 9) and Chimney Begins (season 2 episode 12) because I think Buck should have learned the truth about how cruel he really was to them.

What's On Tonight (Sunday 11/17): Tracker and The Equalizer

Happy Sunday!

I spent most of the day relaxing and reading and now I'm going to watch my Sunday shows: Tracker and The Equalizer. Last week's episode of Tracker was good, it had a bit of a supernatural element to it. Because did Emmaline heal Colter witchcraft, after he was on the verge of death, after he was shot by an arrow? Or was he simply lucky that he didn't die before the paramedics arrived? Anyway, tonight's episode has Colter looking for missing campers but according to the description a serial killer might be in the area. Seems like this is going to be interest case.

And speaking of cases, The Equalizer returns tonight with Robyn and her team trying to help a hacker. According to the description the hacker is being forced by criminals to use their hacking skills. I wonder what they are being forced to hack into. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Marcus Dante returns to NYC as well as Mel going back to working with the team after she works through her trauma. I'm just wondering which episodes either story will happen in.

Anyway, here's my Sunday lineup.


8:00 PM EST

Quote: Tamara Colins and Lucy Chen (The Rookie)

(The Rookie season 5 episode 1: Double Down)

Tamara: Morning.

Lucy: Uh, hi. Um, are you on your way to school?

Tamara: In a few.

Lucy: You should take the long way around. You know, they already started blocking off some of those streets around the courthouse.

Tamara: I know. You told me. I could blow off class if you want. We could go shopping or see a movie.

Lucy: I'm gonna be fine. I'm not gonna be anywhere near Rosalind. Tim and I are station-bound, waiting for the phone to ring.

Tamara: On your undercover thing?

Lucy: Yeah. The original go-time fell through, and it's just been radio silence since then.

Tamara: Is this the same undercover thing you and Tim were discussing the other night?

Lucy: I already told you that kiss didn't mean anything.

Tamara: Right, right. It was for the case. Make out. Stop crime. That totally tracks.

Lucy: Go to school.

Tamara: Okay. Well, have a great day. With your boss. Who you kissed.

Lucy: Get out! And close the door!

Art of the Day: Batman

Artwork: Batman by Tom Reilly

I've been thinking of rewatching Batman: The Animated Series or Gotham. I'm not sure which one I'll start watching first.

What's On Tonight (Friday 11/15): S.W.A.T., Happy's Place and Lopez vs Lopez

I nearly forgot which is why I'm posting this while I'm watching S.W.A.T., but here is my Friday line up. I'm taping Happy's Place and Lopez vs Lopez to watch later.


8:00 PM EST

S.W.A.T. season 8 episode 5: Human Interest                                 8:00 PM EST                                                 CBS

What's On Tonight (Thursday 11/14): 9-1-1, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, Ghosts, Doctor Odyssey, Matlock, Elsbeth, Found and Grey's Anatomy

Thursday is a busy night of TV with eight shows on. For 9-1-1, I'm happy Buck's relationship with his latest bland and boring love interest is over. I hope the writers will finally let him figure out why he keeps quickly jumping into relationships especially since it wasn't that long before his relationship with Natalia ended and then he started dating Tommy. Buck truly needs to take some time being single and then hopefully he will realize the love he's been searching for is with Eddie. Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is a Thanksgiving episode that has the family celebrating the holiday. I'm sure it's going to be a little bittersweet but also have plenty of humor.

With Ghosts, Sam is going to audition for a play after getting some ghostly help from Alberta. This seems like it's going to be a fun episode. Doctor Odyssey has another themed week as well as the Captain's brother will be visiting. I'm still trying to give this show a chance. For some reason, I'm still not quite being drawn into the story and the characters. Something just feels off with the story, maybe there's a reason for that, I don't know. Something's just not connecting, there's a fan theory that this is all a dream. And at times it feels like it.

On Matlock, Matty is furthering her secret investigation but I think the stress is starting to get to her. There's a lot involved with her living a double life. Elsbeth continues to be fun mystery series, it's a joy to watch. As for Found, with Sir out of the basement it added an interesting dynamic to the show. It's that added stress knowing he's out there. And finally with Grey's Anatomy, a bad car accident might end up killing Mika (I hope not). I do wonder what Levi is going to ask James? They haven't been dating that long, I can't image Levi asking him to go with him to Texas. I guess we will see.


8:00 PM EST

9-1-1 season 8 episode 7: Hotshots                                 8:00 PM EST                                                 ABC

What's On Tonight (Wednesday 11/13): Chicago Fire and Abbott Elementary

With Chicago Fire, I feel like it's only a matter of time before Sam Carver realizes that Tori is not good for him. But for now he will continue to spiral down until he realizes it. I still think there is something suspicious about Captain Pascal and why he left Florida, but he's at trying to help Kelly Severide with his investigation.

With Abbott Elementary, that new golf course being built is resulting in the neighborhood being gentrified and it looks like their local deli may be the next casualty. I wonder if they are going to try to save it from being closed.


9:00 PM EST

What's On Tonight (Tuesday 11/12): Murder in a Small Town, St. Denis Medical, High Potential and The Irrational

Murder in a Small Town is finally back, I can't wait to watch tonight's episode. Along with watching my other two mystery series: High Potential and The Irrational which of course I'll have to choose which one to watch and tape. Although it's the Tuesday night mysteries, there is a new sitcom St. Denis Medical premiering tonight with two back-to-back episodes (which I'll tape and watch later).

I'm usually not a big fan of medical shows but so far this fall season I have watched three: Brilliant Minds, Doctor Odyssey and Grey's Anatomy. And I can't believe I'm adding yet another show with St. Denis Medical.


8:00 PM EST

Murder in a Small Town season 1 episode 6: The Madness Method                        8:00 PM EST                                 FOX

Description:

Fashion Meets Fandom: Angela Lopez (The Rookie)

The Rookie's Angela Lopez may have gone from uniformed Police Officer to Police Detective but she still wears a uniform of sorts. While as a detective, Angela's work wardrobe consist of: blazers, graphic t-shirts (usually featuring musicians or rock bands), tops, jeans and pants.

What I love about the blazer is that it can be styled in so many different ways. Angela tends to wear hers mainly with jeans and a graphic t-shirt for a professional yet casual look.

(The Rookie season 5 episode 5: The Fugitive)

What's On Tonight (Monday 11/11): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, The Neighborhood, Poppa's House, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

I know the focus of tonight's episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star will mostly be on T.K. and Owen Strand. But I hope Tommy Vega's story will continue, because she said her mammogram result revealed something bad. Which is why I hope something will be mentioned. For Superman & Lois, I wonder how Clark is going to prove that he's not Superman, since his secret is out there.

For The Neighborhood, I wonder which neighbor they are going to find out information for and how will this information change things? For Poppa's House, now that Poppa and Ivy have quit from their radio show and started a podcast version of it, I wonder how they will go about building it up? I can understand why they quit, the executives at the radio station was using their image in AI generated commercials promoting terrible products. I'm sure it will take time but I think they can create something really interesting.

With Rescue: Hi-Surf, I really can't see Will marrying Julie, it makes no sense for her to be this jealous of Em and not inviting her to their wedding. Will is marrying her, she has no need to be threated by Em. But I'm sure at some point this relationship between Will and Julie is going to end, just don't know when. Brilliant Minds wasn't on last week, but tonight's episode will have Dr. Wolf's patient get an experimental treatment that will hopefully allow the patient to be able to communicate with Dr. Wolf and his medical team.


8:00 PM EST

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 episode 7: Kiddos                        8:00 PM EST                                 FOX

Happy Veterans Day!

In honor of all the Veterans, I wish you happy Veterans Day!

What's On Tonight (Sunday 11/10): Tracker

Since the NFL game is on, Tracker is pushed back to 9:00 PM EST. And unfortunately, The Equalizer isn't on tonight which is disappointing I really love watching this show. For tonight's episode of Tracker it looks like Colter is trying to find a missing girl who may be into witchcraft. I wonder if she's hiding from someone or if someone abducted her? I love that Colter's cases are always very different.


9:00 PM EST
