The Voice announced who their fall coaches will be and they are..wait for it…Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. Oh wait, they are a given? Well, sitting besides them will be Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson.
That means that if American Idol comes back in the fall on ABC, then their asses will be kicked by The Voice. Well, that and probably whatever else is on against it.
I think the OG American Idol is a great choice, the Oscar winner not so much. Although it is an interesting strategy to have 2 Idols on the NBC singing competition at the same time.
Before Ted Danson was getting himself into trouble with the ladies on Cheers, he was trying to get himself out of it with Rise Shaving Cream. How sexy was the 30-year-old actor with some stubble back in 1978?
Today is the day that most of the broadcast networks make up their minds on what shows they want to keep and which ones they don’t. The latter leaving people like me downing a bottle of St John’s Wort.
The first sad news came from January Jones who broke the news that The Last Man on Earth was cancelled after only four seasons. She wrote, “To our @lastmanfox family..it’s been an amazing 4yrs, thank you for all the hard work, we love you and will miss seeing you every day! And thank you to our fans who loved and laughed at these ridiculous and lovably flawed characters. @orviv your brain is a national(global?),treasure ❤️” She is not kidding about Forte’s brain, it is scrumptious gem full of beautiful smelling farts. How many other actors would do what he did in that photo above and with a big smile on his face. That is the perfect way to describe this show, a big smile. You can tell this was a cast that loves working on the show and each other ever more than that. A combination that is rare these days. I can go on, but I am only on my first glass of wine. Also, I am not ready to handle the fact that the show ended with such a cliffhanger that will not be resolved just like what happened on Soap, Benson, Alf and V.
Now, as I get ready to pour the second glass in honor of Mary Steenburgen’s character, I am sad that The Mick is ending too. This is a comedy that pushed the envelope so far it fell off of the flat earth and went into a black hole. How many other shows would have a sex scene with a 100-year-old woman and a 30-year-old female for diamonds? Did I mention, they showed a lot of nudity and then they killed her off the rich old lady by having her mix her oxygen tank with one last cigarette. What other show would do that? None, for a very good reason but still it was very funny.
Finally, Fox also gave the ax to Brooklyn Nine-Nine after 5 seasons. Never got that show. I guess Fox is getting out of the Saturday Night Live business.
What about some good news? NBC picked up AP Bio for a second season, which is good for Glenn Howerton since he quit It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They are also staying with Blindspot for a fourth one and J-Lo’s World of Dance for a third. The latter is a summer show.
Back to f*cking Fox, they are staying with Star to see if the third one will be a charm. I do not watch that show, but I still watch Empire. Who else besides me, would like it to be put out of our misery? Seriously, the show is not even a shell of what it once was. It is barely watchable which is why I watch most episodes and have no idea what just happened and I don’t care that zoned out for a whole hour.
YouTube Red just released the first trailer for their new series Impulse and I am completely blown away by the series that debuts on June 6th.
Henry (Maddie Hasson) is a 16-year-old girl who moves to a small town. A bad encounter with a boy brings something out of her she never knew she had, the ability to teleport. Now, she cannot control her new power and no one will believe her. Will she be able to control herself before it is too late?
Impulse is directed by Doug Liman, who has given us the Bourne franchise, The OC and Suits. Can’t wait to see what he does with this show.
Talking about YouTube Red, they finally picked up Cobra Kai for a second season. I seriously cannot stop thinking about how much I love the Karate Kid sequel that has Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) as the underdog and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) as the bad guy. If you have not binged the 10 episodes, make sure to do it ASAP. I promise you will not be disappointed. It is even better than the original movie and who doesn’t love 1984’s Karate Kid?
Who knew that YouTube Red would be putting out some of the best streaming programming out there and getting some of the biggest names to do their series? I do not think anyone did, but they are. How much do you want to bet that Cobra Kai gets an Emmy nom? It is a critics and fans darling alike. Not many shows can say that, but this one totally can.
Next weekend is the Royal wedding, but us Yanks have one tonight at 8p on CBS. Not only that, The Big Bang Theory one is just as star-studded. Maybe even more so?
It is the day before the wedding and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) is assigning who does what. She is going to pick up Amy’s (Mayim Bialik) parents played by Kathy Bates and Teller. While Raj (Kunal Nayyar) has to pick up Sheldon’s Mom (Laurie Metcalf) and sister (Courtney Henggeler) from the airport. Poor Penny did not realize she gave Raj the easier job because Amy’s mom is hard-to-handle. Between us, Teller steals every scene he is in. Now that immediate family including George (Jerry O’Connell) is at Penny and Leonard’s (Johnny Galecki) apartment, it is time to get ready for the wedding.
Wil Wheaton is going to officiate the nuptials, so he is getting ready for the task. That is until Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) has a chance encounter with Mark Hamill. Who will get the honor or marrying Shamy? And that is not the only thing postponing the vows.
Tonight’s episode does not only bring a much-anticipated wedding and several guest stars, it also brings a lot of laughs. So many, I want to see spinoffs for George and his tire store, also one for the Fowlers and finally one with Mark Hamill and Wil Wheaton. They can call the last one HamWil! Seriously, everyone brings it tonight so be prepared to laugh for a half hour straight.
Then at 8:30p, things are going really well with MeeMaw (Annie Potts) and Dr. Sturgis (Wallace Shawn) on Young Sheldon. That is until Ira (Richard Kind) tells her he wants her back. Meemaw thinks she can date both guys at the same time, but Sheldon does not think so. What will he do to make sure that Meemaw keeps dating his mentor? Not everything he wants to because his mom (Zoe Perry) is smart enough to stop her genius son.
When I watched the Young Sheldon pilot, I was not impressed with the show. Then I kept watching it and it quickly became one of my favorite shows on television. It is such an endearing sitcom with sweet characters, you cannot help but to fall in love with it. It is the type of show you just want to hug!
Talking about hugging, who does not want to marry a guy like Dr. Sturgis? They have created a man who so awwwdorably cute that you just want to make him your own. If anyone knows a guy like that, send him my way. I promise I will be gentle!
