What's On Tonight (Monday 1/27): 9-1-1: Lone Star, The Neighborhood, Poppa's House and Rescue: Hi-Surf

Tonight is the final episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star and all I can hope is that ending will be better than last week's episode. This was a good show that I wish wasn't ending this soon. I wish all the cast and crew the best in their next employment opportunities. There's also new episodes of The Neighborhood, Poppa's House and Rescue: Hi-Surf.

Fandom Friday: Random Fandom Thoughts #46: 9-1-1: Lone Star and Taylor Kelly

It's been a while since I've posted a Fandom Friday but I have a couple of thoughts I wanted to share:

- Monday night's 9-1-1: Lone Star episode Impact was so disappointing because why have so many bad thing happen to the characters. From Tommy Vega dying (there's a slim possibility she's still alive) to Carlos Reyes and T.K. Strand being denied custody of T.K.'s little brother to Mateo Chavez being deported and finally to an asteroid falling to Earth, it was just too much doom and gloom. The only really good part of the episode was Paul Strickland being a mentor to Jax. This is not an episode I can see myself re-watching. I can only hope the series finale episode which airs next Monday won't be so dreary. I really hope there is a way for the writers to end the show at least on a somewhat happy note because these characters deserved better than the storylines they got in Impact.

- I re-watched the 9-1-1 episode Dosed (season 2 episode 6) and still can't get over how unethical Taylor Kelly is as a reporter. She was willing to film Captain Robert "Bobby" Nash knowing that he had been drugged. And she also wanted to air all of that footage for her story. What's so awful is that she didn't even consider how this story would effect Bobby, all she was trying to do was make a name for herself. This is one character who never truly changed, because she was always more interested in a story and it didn't matter what she had to do or who she had to step on to get it.

(9-1-1 season 2 episode 6: Dosed)

What's On Tonight (Monday 1/27): 9-1-1: Lone Star, The Neighborhood, Poppa's House and Rescue: Hi-Surf

It's my usual group of shows (9-1-1: Lone Star, The Neighborhood, Poppa's House and Rescue: Hi-Surf) and although they are not on my list there are new episodes of NCIS and NCIS: Origins. I still haven't gotten around to watching NCIS: Origins but I will.

What's On Tonight (Monday 1/20): 9-1-1: Lone Star and Rescue: Hi-Surf

Tonight is the return of 9-1-1: Lone Star and Rescue: Hi-Surf. It's the beginning of the end for 9-1-1: Lone Star with the first of the last three episodes. I really loved watching this show and wish it had been saved by another network, streaming service, etc. Any, It looks like a lot is happening in tonight's episode.

The same for Rescue: Hi-Surf, I want to know if Will is going finally end things with his finace. Because he certainly doesn't really love her.

What's On Tonight (Monday 12/2): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, The Neighborhood, Poppa's House and Brilliant Minds

Tonight is the series finale of Superman & Lois as well as the mid-season finale for 9-1-1: Lone Star. I can't believe Superman & Lois is ending and with the way last week's episode ended, I'm just hoping Superman doesn't die again. As for 9-1-1: Lone Star, I wonder if Carlos will be able to finally solve his father's murder without costing him his own life.

As for the other shows, I'm not sure when The Neighborhood, Poppa's House and Brilliant Minds will have their mid-season finale but until then I'm just happy new episodes are still airing.

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.

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.

Happy Halloween! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Trick or Treat! How are you celebrating the holiday? Are you dressing up? Are you watching scary movies? It's not really a party but me and few friends are going watch some scary movies and some TV show episodes while eating popcorn, candy and other snacks. And speaking of watching TV shows, for this geeky Halloween list I went with Halloween or spooky, eerie, supernatural sort of episodes of procedural shows. Because everyday life can be just a frightful as a horror movie.

However you plan on celebrating the day, Happy Halloween everyone!

What's On Tonight (Monday 10/21): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, The Neighborhood, Poppa's House, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

My Monday lineup has two more shows added to it: The Neighborhood and Poppa's House. The Neighborhood is such a funny yet underrated show. I have been looking forward to watching Poppa's House because it looks like it's also going to be funny.

I was looking at the description for 9-1-1: Lone Star and it states that Judd is going to introduce his ex-girlfriend to Owen. Why? I just hope this won't lead to her and Owen dating because he's one character that can stand to be single. He has a new girlfriend each season and they usually end up taking more screen than they should. It looks like Carlos is becoming obsessed with solving his father's murder. For Superman & Lois, I feel like there's going to be an issue with Jonathan not only getting powers but being able to use them perfectly as soon as he got them. There was no stumbling block or learning curve, it just feels like it's too easy. Especially considering how tough Jordan had it with learning how to use his powers.

With Rescue: Hi-Surf, I feel bad for Hina because a simple mistake on the job means the difference between life and death. And with her accidently letting go of the guy she was rescuing, odds are they probably won't find him. It looks like Em might be getting a love interest. I guess it's too soon in the show for her and Will to get together. And finally is Brilliant Minds, this is a very good show. And it looks like the doctors are going to try to help a Marine who is experiencing some issues.

This looks like a good line up of shows.


8:00 PM EST

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

Description:

A horse barrels into a brewery with an unconscious rider on its back. A bus full of tourists all experience seizures. Judd introduces Owen to Wyatt's mother. Carlos' investigation into his father's murder becomes all-consuming.

What's On Tonight (Monday 10/14): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

It's Monday! What are you watching tonight?

It's my usual Monday lineup with: 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds. For 9-1-1: Lone Star, I wonder if newly promoted Lieutenant, Paul Strickland is nervous and is second guessing himself. Because Paul has always been shown as smart take charge character, so I'm hoping that whatever confidence issue will be resolved in this episode. For Superman & Lois, it looks like Natalie and her dad are going to try to take on Doomsday. I just hope they survive the fight.

Now Rescue: Hi-Surf has rookie lifeguard Hina in a difficult rescue. I wonder if they person she tried to rescue was still able to be saved? Hopefully, she doesn't lose her job because unfortunate accident. And finally with Brilliant Minds, it looks like Doctor Wolf is going to really immerse himself into his patient's state of mind to figure what happened to her.

I'm really enjoying watching all four of these shows.


8:00 PM EST

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 episode 4: My Way                        8:00 PM EST                                 FOX

Description:

The 126 are called on the scene to a hoarder's rat-infested house, then are trapped in an elevator as a woman goes into labour. Tommy and Trevor host his ex-wife Cassandra for dinner which goes awry.

What's On Tonight (Monday 10/7): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Superman & Lois, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

Happy Monday! What are you watching tonight?

I added another show to my Monday night line up, Superman & Lois. This is the fourth and final season for the show which initially was supposed premiere on Thursday, October 17th with a two hour back to back premiere. However, the show was moved over to Monday for an earlier premiere. Not sure why but Thursday is also a pretty busy with a lot of shows on that night as well.

Now, I just have to figure out whether to watch or tape Superman & Lois or 9-1-1: Lone Star and Rescue: Hi-Surf. Superman & Lois is going to be so good with everyone dealing with the death of Superman. While 9-1-1: Lone Star continues with the final part of the three part train derailment story and it also looks like it's going to be really good. The same goes for Rescue: Hi-Surf with the lifeguards dealing with various emergencies. While Will decides whether he wants to be a firefighter. I can see him deciding to leave but then realize he rather stay a lifeguard, I guess we'll see. The final show is Brilliant Minds, this show continues to be so good. And it looks like the doctors will have two very interesting patients to help.


8:00 PM EST

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 episode 3: C12                        8:00 PM EST                                 FOX

What's On Tonight (Monday 9/30): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

I'm cutting it rather close but here is my Monday night line up: 9-1-1: Lone Star, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds.

I enjoyed watched all the episodes last week. And tonight's episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star continues the story building up to the big train derailment emergency. And it looks like tonight's episode of Rescue: Hi-Surf may have Em and Will former romance sparking up. I guess we'll see if anything actually happens between them. And finally is Brilliant Minds where it looks like Dr. Wolf is trying to help a basketball coach deal with a unique health issue. I real like the show because it highlights medical issues that aren't usually shown.

Next time, I'll make sure to post What's On Tonight earlier.


8:00 PM EST

Video: Tommy Vega Sneak Peek from 9-1-1: Lone Star episode "Trainwrecks"

Happy Monday or should I say 9-1-1: Lone Star Monday!

I don't usually post sneak peeks because I don't want to see any spoilers. But this video is so cute. It has Tommy Vega, her twin daughters: Evie and Isabella, her boyfriend Trevor Parks and his daughter Melody trying to do the latest dance trend. However, Tommy and Trevor's dancing is not good enough for their respective daughters. But it's not the dancing that's at question in this video, it's the question that Tommy posed to Trevor. I'm interested in seeing what his answer will be. I can't wait to tune in tonight and see.

This is really beautiful artwork.

What's On Tonight (Monday 9/23): 9-1-1: Lone Star, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds

Happy Monday!

I have a pretty good line up for tonight: 9-1-1: Lone Star, Rescue: Hi-Surf and Brilliant Minds. Tonight is the premiere of the fifth and final season of 9-1-1: Lone Star. I'm excited to see how this final season will go but I am a little sad that it will be ending. Especially since this season only has 12 episodes. As for this season, I do hope that Carlos Reyes will solve his father's murder and that both Paul Strickland and Marjan Marwani will both end up becoming Lieutenants. There's no reason why they both can't get the promotion especially since they're both qualified.

Last night was the premiere of Rescue: Hi-Surf and I thought it was good. I like the characters and the rescues. Office politics had Captain Harlan "Sonny" Jennings passing on the actual lifeguard top pick Hina for the aspiring Mayor to be Clayton Emerson's son Kainalu. His son won second place and shouldn't need his father to get him a job at a specific station. And it didn't take long before Kaianlu made a mistake. Anyway, Hina did eventually get the job she was supposed to get. So now the station has two new recruits instead of one. I can't wait to see tonight's episode.

As for the last show, Brilliant Minds, I'm not really a medical show fan but the trailer made this show seem interesting. And I thought I would give it a watch. So, I'm just hoping this will be a good watch.


8:00 PM EST

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 episode 1: Both Sides, Now                        8:00 PM EST                                 FOX

Video: 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 First Look

I guess it's officially the end for 9-1-1: Lone Star. I know a lot of us fans were hoping something might happen to save the show since FOX at the time hadn't officially released a statement. But I guess not. So, now this fifth season is the final season and from this First Look, it looks like it's going to be a good one. There's a huge train crash that might lead to even more danger and disaster. And not to mention, the little glimpses of personal life drama that was shown.

I do want to know how the writers are going to explain why Grace Ryder is not there? I just hope they don't kill her character off, that would be so disappointing if that was the way they write off her character. Other than that, I'm sad that this will be the end of the series but I'm excited to see how it will end. The fifth and final season of 9-1-1: Lone Star will premiere Monday, September 23rd at 8:00 PM EST on FOX.

Fandom Thoughts #5: Carlos Reyes' New Job (9-1-1: Lone Star)

I have quite a few thoughts about Carlos Reyes' new job as a Texas Ranger in the upcoming fifth season of 9-1-1: Lone Star. From looking at the new pictures (below), Carlos' new uniform is clearly shown and I guess it's a little jarring to see. Because in the episode Best of Men (season 4 episode 17), Carlos (who was a Police Officer) said he didn't want to be a Texas Ranger. Carlos' father Gabriel (who was either a Captain or Major in the Texas Rangers) had went to Carlos and T.K. Strand's apartment to tell his son that Assistant Chief Bridges had offered Carlos a job with the Texas Rangers. However, Carlos turned the offer down.

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Teaser Trailer

I don't want to think about this fifth season potentially being the final season of 9-1-1: Lone Star. Whether it is or isn't, I'm really looking forward to watching it. This is a good show with an equally good characters and it would be disappointing to see it end. This fifth season starting out with a train derailment seems interesting. Although 9-1-1 had a big train derailment episode for the third season finale, from this teaser trailer it doesn't look similar at all. So, it will be interesting to see how they will handle this emergency.

I wonder what the show is going to do about 9-1-1 Dispatch and the character Grace Ryder since the actress Sierra McClain who portrayed Grace decided not to return to the series. The main Dispatcher on Lone Star was Grace, so I wonder if they will introduce a new character to take over that role? Or perhaps there will be random Dispatch characters shown answering the phones? I guess we'll see this fall.

I know I already have a long list of shows I want to watch and rewatch during Summer Hiatus. But I was thinking of adding 9-1-1: Lone Star to my list. It's been a while since I've re-watched the earlier seasons of the show. And if I start watching the first season, I know I'm going to want watch all four seasons. I'll see if I can squeeze in a rewatch.

I forgot to add that there is a petition by fans to save 9-1-1: Lone Star. Here is the link to the 9-1-1: Lone Star petition and it's currently at 2,354 signatures and counting. Please, sign and share it.

Entertainment New #56: 9-1-1: Lone Star and Jennifer Love Hewitt

- According to recent reports, it looks like 9-1-1: Lone Star might be cancelled or simply ending after the upcoming fifth season. The fifth season will return this fall with 12 episodes on FOX. Whether the show ends or is cancelled, it doesn't appear that Lone Star will be saved by ABC and moved to that network like 9-1-1 was. It's also being reported that actress Sierra McClain who plays 9-1-1 Dispatcher Grace Ryder has already left the show. It's sad that this show is ending especially with it being centered around negotiation issues. This will be the second first responder show that I enjoyed watching that will or has ended.

- Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt will be starring in, directing and executive producing the upcoming Lifetime Christmas movie The Holiday Junkie. Also, starring in the movie is actor Brian Hallisay who is also Jennifer's husband. The description for the movie follows as Andie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and her mother Mimi run a decorating and planning service company. However, after Mimi passes away, Andie is forced to face her first Christmas without her mother and carry The Holiday Junkie torch on her own. Despite the challenges, Andie may also find some love at Christmas along the way.

At the moment, I'm definitely not thinking about Christmas. However, I do love watching these Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movie. So, I'm interested in seeing this.
