What's On Tonight: S.W.A.T.

Happy Friday! What are you watching tonight?

There's only one new show for me tonight: S.W.A.T. I can't believe this will be David "Deacon" Kay final episode. Unless, Deacon changes his mind about retiring. I'm sure the cast and crew had no idea CBS would renew the show for an eighth season especially after it was saved from being cancelled. So unless all those actors wanted to leave the show, I do hope some of the characters will return for the eighth season.


8:00 PM EST

Most Memorable Scene: Highway Fight Scene (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)

I absolutely love Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It's been forever since I've seen this movie and I can't believe it's been 10 years since it was released in theatres on April 4, 2014. It's just crazy how time just flies by. But you know what, it still holds up as an amazing movie. Anyway, this is the perfect spy/espionage thriller. It follows as Captain America, Nick Fury, Black Widow and Falcon uncovering a terrifying secret that Hydra was in control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and as well as having infiltrated the US government.

Now for this scene, the highway scene was so unexpected because they were totally ambushed by Hydra. And Hydra was going to do whatever it took to take them out. It didn't matter if there were people around they were nothing more than casualties. Which is sad but not unexpected. Despite Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon being out numbered and dealing with a lot fire power, that didn't stop them. Which unfortunately they were temporarily captured by Hydra but it didn't last long thanks to Maria Hill. I'm really going to have re-watch this movie.

What's On Tonight: Young Sheldon, Ghosts, So Help Me Todd and Elsbeth

It's Thursday, what are you watching tonight?

For me, it's the same as last week, another CBS line up. On Young Sheldon, I hope Georgie and Mandy can save up enough money to get their own place. I really don't like Mandy's mom and her passive-aggressive behavior towards Georgie. On Ghosts, I wonder just how much Pete's new powers will change things. And if he can now go out into the world, it's definitely going to be a rude awakening for him.

I still can't believe So Help Me Todd is cancelled, this is such a good show. Anyway, Margaret and Todd are going to be helping a guy who somehow was declared dead, when he's not. I wonder what the motive is for this and who is behind it. And finally on Elsbeth, a very well know plastic surgeon is murdered. Which will have Elsbeth investigating the crime.


8:00 PM EST

Young Sheldon season 7 episode 9: A Fancy Article And A Scholarship For A Baby                               8:00 PM EST                                          CBS

Description:

Sheldon's published paper leads to a frenzy of grad school recruiting. Georgie tries to speak more properly in front of his daughter.

Quote: Maddie Buckley (9-1-1)

I don’t think you’re a fraud. I just think that maybe you’re not sure of your own feelings yet. And if there’s something you need to tell Eddie, you will. In your own time.

~ Maddie Buckley to her brother Evan "Buck" Buckley, 9-1-1 season 7 episode 5: You Don't Know Me

I really hope Maddie's words are foreshadowing for Buck in him realizing he has feelings for Eddie. And that at some point it will eventually lead to them going canon.

(9-1-1 season 7 episode 5: You Don't Know Me)

Video: 9-1-1 cast try to guess the season of the episode

Here is a fun video of some of the cast from 9-1-1 trying to see if they can correctly guess the season for each episode. I'm surprised they got so many wrong. But I guess as fans, we probably remember the episodes and seasons they aired in more than the actors probably do. To them it's a job. While for us fans, it's our favorite show and we remember so many things about it. Something, I found funny was that none of them could remember the season for Home Invasion which was the episode that the transphobic actress who plays Marisol first appeared in. Maybe they wanted to forget about her as well.

Watching this video now has me totally excited for when some of the cast will be on an upcoming episode of Celebrity Family Feud that will air this summer. I wonder who they will be playing against and if they will win? Hopefully, they will be better at answering the questions on the game show than they were at guessing the seasons to 9-1-1 episodes.

What's On Tonight: Walker, Not Dead Yet and Animal Control

Happy Wednesday! What are you watching tonight?

I'm going to make sure to post these What's On Tonight posts earlier and not so close to when the shows air. Okay for tonight, it's just three shows: Walker, Not Dead Yet and Animal Control.

On Walker, the Jackal case is going to be a big undertaking and it just might cause trouble between Walker's friendship with Captain James. I wonder what shocking realization Stella is going to have. I'm sure it has something to do with whomever is stalking her. As for Not Dead Yet, it's the season finale and it looks like in these back-to-back episodes, Nell is going to try to save the newspaper from being sold. And finally for Animal Control, Shred is going to meet a mysterious woman. I wonder if this is going to be a new love interest? I guess the show is going with an extremely slow burn with Shred and Emily but I wish it wasn't taking forever but I understand the writers are trying to build something slowly between them. So it will probably be some time before they go canon. I just have to wait (which I don't want to).

Again, I'll make sure to post my What's On Tonight posts early.


8:00 PM EST

What's On Tonight: Lopez vs Lopez

Happy Tuesday! What are you watching tonight?

There is surprisingly only one show that's new tonight, Lopez vs Lopez. This show is so funny, I love how this show centers around this fun disfunctional family. And despite any issues or ridiculousness they find themselves in, they can always count on each other to help. Or to make the situation worse but turn it around to help fix whatever issue or problem they made worse.

In tonight's back-to-back episodes, the Lopez family seems to be dealing with a lot of romance issues: George possibly jealous of Rosie's new boyfriend in the first episode. While George has a new possible love interest in the second episode. Meanwhile, it looks like Chance may be a genius and his parent may not know how to deal with it. And in the second episode, Chance seems to be protective of his grandmother Rosie. I wonder if he is being protective because he think his grandmother is spending more time with her new boyfriend and maybe not as much time with him. I can't wait to watch tonight's episodes.

Do you watch Lopez vs Lopez?

Happy Earth Day!

What are you doing to make a difference? I know it can seem daunting or impossible to make a difference in protecting the Earth. However, it’s important we try and do as best as we can to take care of our planet! Whether big or small changes every little bit goes a long way to help.

Happy Earth Day!

Art of the Day: Maddie, Jee-Yun and Chimney (9-1-1)

Artwork: Maddie, Jee-Yun and Chimney by buckleyhan-art

As much as I'm looking forward to Maddie and Chimney's upcoming wedding, I just wish for once 9-1-1 didn't have to make everything so dramatic and out there. I wish Chimney and Maddie got to have that beautiful dream wedding instead of the typical disastrous one with apparently Chimney possibly being abducted and they have to try to find him.

I know The Rookie somewhat recently had a wedding episode The Hammer (season 6 episode 2) with Bailey Nun and John Nolan getting married. And the wedding was absolutely sweet and lovely and romantic. So the 9-1-1 writers probably don't want to go in that direction and plus the show isn't usually know for having normal moments. I wouldn't be surprised if Maddie and Chimney probably end up getting married at the hospital after Chimney is found. I guess I was hoping that their wedding day would be romantic and special. These two have been through a lot and having something that wasn't a complete disaster would have been wonderful for them. I'm sure the writers are going to give them an interesting wedding but I just wish it wasn't going to be in the usual 9-1-1 fashion.

Most Memorable Scene: The Avatar Returns (Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix))

I'm usually not a big fan of live-action versions of animated shows and movies but I'm trying not to be stodgy or set in my ways because I just might miss out on something. Anyway, I'm really glad I gave the live-action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender a chance because it turned out to be a really good adaptation. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will do with the second and third seasons.

I like this scene from the first episode because although it's a different take on how Sokka and Katara found the ice bubble that held Avatar Aang. And how he was freed, in the animated series Katara hit the ice bubble with a weapon. While in the live action, I think it was due to her waterbending to try to get their boat. Either way, Katara was the reason he was freed from the ice, it was just a bit more dramatic in the animated series.
