My only plan this weekend, is to get cozy and comfy on the sofa and watch some new shows I've been planning to watch and to get caught up on some of my regular shows. And in between lounging all day, I'm going to have some of my favorite snacks, then later lunch and dinner. I might take a few breaks but for the most part I'm doing nothing else all weekend except for relaxing. The list of new shows I want to watch are:
- R.J. Decker
- The 'Burbs
- The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins
- Young Sherlock
And the shows I need to get caught up on the current seasons are:
- Abbott Elementary
- Animal Control
- Elsbeth
- Going Dutch
- High Potential
- The Rookie
I'm going to try to see how many of these shows I can watch or get caught up on. And if I have enough time this weekend rewatch for Heated Rivalry (it's been a while since I've watched the show). As well as rewatch the 9-1-1 episode Mother's Boy (season 9 episode 13). Since I have a lot of shows to watch, I'm going to get started right after I post this.
I'm really looking forward to watching the eighth season of The Rookie (especially with the current state of the world) and this video is a good interview with the cast. As much as I can't wait to watch the new season, I also have mixed feeling about Monica Stevens. After she received immunity last season which seemed unfair but terrible people somehow get away with their crimes.. And now she will be working with the police and FBI when she should have been charged with all the crimes she committed. But I'm sure she'll try to double cross everyone and try to disappear for good. I find it interesting that Bailey Nune will be part of this investigation but as the reporter said maybe this will give her and John Nolan a chance at a second honeymoon since their first was something out of a horror movie.
As for Lucy Chen and Timothy "Tim" Bradford, I can't wait for them to finally get back together. Especially since they really love each other and not to mention their break up was so forced when they could have easily worked through their issues. It reminds me of when Maddie Buckley and Howard "Chimney" Han broke up (off screen) in the second half of the fifth season of 9-1-1. It still makes no sense that they broke up and not to mention it happened off screen like so many of 9-1-1's other important scenes that continue not to be shown on screen.
Anyway, back to The Rookie, I can't see Celina Juarez staying in that relationship for long with that musician. For one I find him annoying but I also don't see how a long distance relationship is going to work in the long run. Not that it will happen but I could see her being paired up with the newest rookie Miles Penn. I think they have an interesting chemistry that could work romantically. One of my favorite duos on The Rookie is Detectives Nyla Harper and Angela Lopez. Because if they are on the case, they are sure to solve it.
I forgot The Rookie ended on a clifhanger with James and his friend being shot. I'm sure at some point in tonight's episode someone is going to tell Nyla about the kiss (hence the episode title) but I hope it doesn't end Nyla and James' marriage. When they introduced the storyline where that police detective had a crush on Angela, I knew the writers were going to put a cheating storyline somewhere. And I guess they decided to go with Nyla and James. James' friend kissed him but before he could pull away, Nolan saw the kiss. So, I guess I'll see how this storyline will end.

Description:
Joyce decides to throw together a talent show with the hospital staff when a musician's performance at the hospital is delayed. Alex tries to bond with her daughter Ella.
Tonight is the season finale for High Potential. This has quickly become one of my new favorite shows. I really love the characters and interesting mysteries and cases they find themselves solving. And tonight's episode looks like another interesting case with the team having to use puzzles and board games to solve the mystery.
As for the other shows: St. Denis Medical, Will Trent, Night Court, The Irrational and The Rookie, they all seem like they're going to be good. And The Rookie is a Valentine's Day episode and according to the description, it seems like there are going to be issues or problems with some of the relationships. Whatever it is, I hope it's nothing that will end any of these relationships. I guess I'll see.
8:00 PM EST
St. Denis Medical season 1 episode 11: Nobody Even Mentions the Brownies! 8:00 PM EST NBC

It's Tuesday! What are you watching tonight? It's my usual group of shows. Let's see for last week's Will Trent, I just knew Angie was getting her job back. In the preview for tonight's episode, it looks like Angie and Will are going to finally talk. Angie is mad but Will had no choice but to arrest her, she purposely and falsely took the blame for a murder that Crystal committed. Which allowed Crystal to continue killing people. That is until Angie realized what Crystal was up to. Anyway, Angie not doing her job in the first place by arresting Crystal instead of taking the blame is the reason why her and Will are not together.
Anyway, what are you watching tonight?
8:00 PM EST

It's Tuesday and there is a lot on tonight. From comedies to drama, I have a full night of shows to watch. I have a lot of thoughts about all the shows but since I'm posting this a little late I'll just stick with Will Trent. I have thoughts on Angie and her most likely getting her job back but I'll post it another time. Because I want to see how tonight's episode is going to go. It will probably work in her favor if she stops a killer. Anyway, what are you watching tonight?
8:00 PM EST

Today has been a long day but I was able to find a little time to read. And now I'm going watch my Tuesday lineup. So for 8:00 PM, I have to choose between comedy (St. Denis Medical and Night Court) or drama (Will Trent) and at 10:00 PM choosing between The Irrational or The Rookie. At least at 9:00 PM, I don't have to choose for High Potential.

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.

While I was taking a mini unplug break, I must have missed the trailer for The Rookie seventh season being released. With the way the sixth season ended with both Oscar and Jason breaking out of prison and aspiring crime boss Monica on the run, I'm sure they are going to be busy trying to track all of them down. Not to mention the run of mill or standard calls, emergencies and detective cases they will go on. And looking at this teaser trailer, looks like it's going to be an interesting season.
The Rookie seventh season will be back on Tuesday, January 7, 2025 on ABC. However, now the show will now air at 10:00 PM EST instead of 9:00 PM.
In The Rookie episode Safety (season 2 episode 7), did Police Officer Tim Bradford put an end to the police chase out of a sense of duty? Or because he wanted to finish watching the football game? I'm going to say it was a little bit of both and not to mention he put in for overtime pay since he's technically off-duty when he stopped the police chase.
Regardless, this is just a memorable scene and Tim was still able to finish watching his game.
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.

Today and probably the next few days are going to be stressful. Here's a quick reminder that it’s okay to take a break from all the election news. Don’t keep checking or scrolling through the news all day. So, to give yourself a break, put down or turn off your phone. Don't watch the news or election result shows. Here is a small list of things you can do: watch shows and movies that interest you. Spend time out in nature or go for a walk. Listen to music that interest you. Draw or knit. Hopefully, you will find something to do that interest you so you're not stressed.
Election Day is a stressful day, eventually we will know the results, so until then, take a deep breath (or several) and try your best to relax. And as always don't forget to vote. Below is a small Election themed Geeky Holiday List, for more, here are my other lists: (1, 2 and 3).
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!
I only have three shows and the it's the season finale for each one. My only issue is figuring out what to watch. So it's either watch The Cleaning Lady with back-to-back episodes or Will Trent and The Rookie. I'm sure no matter what shows I watch it's going to be a good ending (at least I hope it will be a good and satisfying one).
8:00-10:00 PM EST
The Cleaning Lady season 3 episode 11: Fight Or Flight and episode 12: House Of Cards 8:00 PM EST FOX
Description:
Ramona continues her attempts to recruit Thony into her business. Thony and Fiona work with the FBI to help Nadia. Meanwhile, the FBI starts organizing a plan to take down Ramona inside her own event. Then, Russo receives a terrifying warning from Sin Cara and Jorge gets news that could alter his alliances.
I don't think Bridget Regan gets enough credit for playing such amazing villains. On The Rookie, her character Monica Stevens' crime boss storyline is fantastic. All her secret criminal undertakings are finally being revealed and I can't wait to see if she's finally getting arrested or will she somehow get away with everything.
Watching her character on The Rookie being an absolute terror reminded me of another one of her villainous characters Dottie Underwood from the Agent Carter TV series. I found this video that shows some of her scenes in the first season. And it really showed how amazing she was as a villain. Agent Peggy Carter may have been the main character but Dottie totally stole the show. She really should have gotten a spin-off because I could only imagine what horrible things she would have gotten in to.
I want to start by saying congratulations to The Cleaning Lady being renewed for a fourth seasons. I can't wait to see what they will do in the next season. Anyway, as for tonight, it's just my usual Tuesday line up: The Cleaning Lady, Will Trent, Alert: Missing Persons Unit and The Rookie.
Something to note, tonight is both the season finale for Alert: Missing Persons Unit and the start of the two-part season finale for The Rookie. I'll probably watch Alert: Missing Persons Unit and tape The Rookie to watch later.
8:00 PM EST
The Cleaning Lady season 3 episode 10: Smoke And Mirrors 8:00 PM EST FOX
Description:
After finding hidden cameras in her home, Thony attempts to get her family's normal life back by turning down a powerful offer from Ramona. Jorge proposes a new money-laundering venture to Nadia. Ramona and Jorge's properties are searched by the FBI.
