Tonight at 8p on Fox, The Simpsons back and Homer Simpson falls for an expensive painting at the museum. Sadly, it is being auctioned off and some billionaire bought it. Right after the auction the priceless art piece goes missing and Homer is the #1 suspect? Did he do it? Mr Manacek is on the case and he is like Mannix, Columbo and Kojak all rolled into one. He will do everything in his power to solve the mystery. The biggest one since who shot Mr Burns, which is about the same time that Mr Manacek’s show was airing.

Then at 9p, Stewie goes to see a therapist and this Family Guy episode is only about them. Stewie goes there to be analyzed, but turns out he analyzes the therapist instead. When the youngest Griffin is done, he realizes something about himself. He reveals a side of himself we have never seen before. That is the only reason to watch this episode.
I have seen every episode of the show, and this was my least favorite one. At least they tried something different. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. To me this is a doesn’t.
Last week on Relative Race, sisters Jamie Grace and Morgan Harper Nichols found themselves driving through a hurricane. Tonight at 9p on BYU TV, Troy and Nicole Hitt will find themselves in the middle of wildfires on their route to the new family member. Good thing they learned how to fight fires last week. Will they use that skill this week?
The episode starts off with the four teams getting in their cars to meet their newest family members and it is much smoother driving for all except Team Red driving through the wildfires. When they get to their destination, they pose with the city sign. But for one team, it is too much. They develop a cramp in their leg and that slows them down.
After they send their photos into home base, they are told what their challenge for their day is. They have to finish a puzzle of the face of a family member they are about to meet. Once the picture is complete, they are given a clue to where that person will be. Now they are off to be with their newest family member somewhere in the town.
Once they meet their family member, now it is time to get to know then. One team will find out they are related to Elvis Presley, think you know which team it is? Could it be musical Team Green, who already know they have white people in their family? What about Team Blue, the father and son, who came in to the race only knowing themselves as their family? What about Team Black’s Rebecca Hoyt, her father kept her family secret, is this why? And then there is Troy Hitt, who was adopted, is this a great family find?
At the end of the day, while it is a cool thing to tell people, it is even cooler for these teams to meet some more new family. Oh and not one, but two teams finish under their allotted times, a Relative Race first!
If you are not familiar with Relative Race, it is a mix of Amazing Race (in America) and Who Do You Think You Are. After 10 days, each team comes out of the game with 10 new family members they never knew they had. That is worth more than all the money in the world. Even though, there is a cash prize for the one winner.
On March 17, 1998, Will & Grace filmed their pilot and 20 years later they are still going strong. So strong that for their anniversary, NBC not only ordered 5 more episodes for next season, they also ordered a third season. That’s right, Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally got picked up for a third season before the first one even finished airing. Not bad, not bad at all
Which is a smart move because unlike other revivals, they have remained true to the original. Giving the longtime fans something to look forward to every Thursday night. Congrats!
BTW the top photo was taken during season 1 and the bottom one was snapped yesterday, proving they have not aged a day on 20 years.
Will Smith went full Irish for St Patrick’s Day by singing a song many will tomorrow morning to their lovers. Explaining to their loved ones that what happened last night/tonight was a mistake and it meant nothing. But will they believe you? As much as if someone were to tell you that Smith would dance around in a kilt. But he did, so that means your lover is telling you the truth. Right?
After all, what happen on St Paddy’s Days stays on St Paddy’s Day. Except the alcohol and all that corned beef and cabbage that comes up on the 18th!

Get your St Paddy’s on today by doing an Irish dance like the one that Jerry O’Connell did with the O’Rourke Irish Dancers of Westchester on the Wendy Williams Show yesterday.
Hopefully the luck of the Irish will bestow O’Connell because he has proven that he is the talk show host we desperately need on our televisions.
On a St Patrick’s Day note, have a great one and make sure not to drink and drive after too much partying.
