Tonight at 9p on NBC, it is finally time for Kate Pearson (Chrissy Metz) and Toby Damon’s (Chris Sullivan) big day on This Is Us! It is the day that was two seasons in the making and it is well worth the wait.
The episode starts off with Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) in current day for the first time on the show. That means we get to see what he would look like with some grey hair and it so works. There is also a very good reason why they brought him back from the dead for it. But I am not going to tell you.
Tonight is also about Kate and her family on her big day. She has her brothers, Kevin (justin Hartley) and Randall (Sterling K Brown), helping her out. Which seems like a good idea until they lose her. Where did she go? Is she having second thoughts?
She is no the only one, Toby’s parents (Wendie Malick and Dan Lauria) are questioning if she is right for him. Will they sway him to be a runaway groom or will he stand up to them?
All of this will lead up to very heartfelt words from Kevin and Randall for their sister Kate. The Pearson three will always have each other’s backs no matter what. Which is why we love this show and their parents Jack and Rebecca (Mandy Moore).
Sadly after tonight, we will have to wait 6 months for another new episode. Now that is a real reason to cry.

Yesterday was the first time, The Voice went head-to-head with ABC’s American Idol and only one was ratings winner. The NBC singing competition was watched by 11,720,000 people, while the ABC one was seen by only 8,360,000. Not only that, The Voice also beat it in the demo by .5, 2.3 as compared to 1.8. Even Dancing with the Stars does better and is closer to its competition numbers.
This has to be so scary for ABC because not only did Idol get beat, it also lost 2 million viewers in its second airing. It can only be downhill from here. Their experiment looks like a big failure, but let’s give it another week.
Now to the headline, The Voice made a major coop when they hired Kelly Clarkson, AI’s first winner. A risk that proved to be a really smart move. Not only did it see a rise in ratings from last week, it also gave us this sweet moment. Stephanie Skipper sang Clarkson’s emotional number Piece by Piece and caused the singer to start crying. Even though she did not turn around, she still praised the crap out the performance that was amazing.
The new Idol can only dream of having a moment like this (no pun intended). The three judges on AI are too stiff and rehearsed to let go like Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. That is what people want. Realness, playfulness and spunk!
When it comes to me, I don’t watch either. But if I was going to watch one, it would be The Voice. Who doesn’t love Kelly?
I remember reading a few weeks ago about the rumors that Reba McEntire was considering doing a revival of her beloved self-titled sitcom. Now it seems, she kind of hinted about it in an Instagram post with two of her costars from it. Along with the photo of her with TV ex-husband and his new TV wife, she said, “Now all we need is the rest of the REBA cast!! @melissapeterman @actor_christopher_rich #reboot.” Reboot???
Now that The CW is expanding to Sundays, it would be nice if they added some comedies to their lineup. Why not start with a revival of The WB’s biggest one. Who else besides me want to see what the Harts are up to? And what type of trouble Barbara Jean is getting herself into now?
Chris Hemsworth was named People’s Sexiest Man a few years ago, but he is not looking that way today. That is because the actor got a horseshoe mustache with a soul patch for his role in Bad Times at the El Royale. I am assuming it is a Western and there is a reason why that facial hair went away when the wild wild west did. It is not a good look, but he makes it look a lot better than most.
