Tonight at 8p on The CW, Family Law gives us an emotional episode. A couple with Down’s Syndrome wants to keep their baby, but the government wants to take it away because they don’t think they are responsible enough to raise the infant. That is why they need a lawyer to defend them.
Harry Svensson (Victor Garber) assigns the case to his son, Daniel (Zach Smadu), as the lead, and Abigail (Jewel Staite), as his second.
Abigail is not happy about that because she has a lot more experience than her brother, who she is just getting to know. However, beggars can’t be choosers because she is still a pariah in the law world since she showed up to court drunk and threw up in a briefcase. Therefore, she will have to grin and bear it.
Plus, how can you say no to this loving couple who just wants to raise their baby? They even have their family’s support. Abigail speaks to the father’s mother and thinks she would be a perfect addition to help the couple. However, when they show up in court, Abigail finds out the mom has Parkinson’s. That makes the couple’s case even harder to win.
Abigail’s mistake pisses Daniel off, and he thinks that she needs to be fired even more. So, she comes up with another way to prove that the couple will be great parents. Her plan goes awry, and she might’ve cost the couple their baby. Can she do anything at this point to win their case?
While she might be responsible for this couple losing their baby, she is definitely responsible for losing custody of her children to her husband because of her drinking. She is trying to win their hearts back now that she is sober. Her son has no problem loving her, but her daughter is reluctant to let her back in. Abigail’s relationship with her kids makes her want to fight even harder for this couple. Will it be enough?
You are just going to have to tune in for an episode that deserves A+. Watch it tonight and every Sunday on The CW! I promise you are going to love it as much as I do.
There is a program where inmates work as firemen to finish out their sentences. Fire Country on CBS at 9p tonight is a show about that.
Bode (Max Thieriot) is serving a 5-year sentence for armed robbery, and he is being transferred to that program in North California. More specifically, Edgewater, which is his hometown.
He has a history there and doesn’t want to serve at the location. He will be reunited with his former best friend, Jake (Jordan Calloway), and there is a lot of animosity between them. They have a secret, and it tore their friendship apart. Not only that, they can’t even be civil to each other. That is going to make it difficult for them to fight fires.
Bode isn’t even there for a day, and there is already a massive forest fire that is threatening the town. He and his co-firefighters are going to have their work cut out for them.
Manny (Kevin Alejandro) runs the program, and he knows there is something special about Bode. However, he also knows there is a lot more to his story and connection to the town.
Manny also has a connection to the town, his daughter Gabriella (Stephanie Arcila). She is an Olympic diver and is debating whether to stay in Edgewater or go back to Florida and train. What is holding her back? She is dating Jake, who she loves. However, he does not want to be the reason she stays.
Manny is the chief of the inmates, and Vince (Billy Burke) is the fire chief. He is married to division chief Sharon (Diane Farr). They, too, have their secrets, and Bode is going to make things more complicated.
Now that Bode is back, things are heating up in Edgewater. And I am not just talking about the fires.
Since this is a Jerry Bruckheimer series, be prepared for huge breathtaking fire scenes that are so realistic. So much so that you will feel the heat coming from your television. You won’t know if it is the fires or the drama. Either way, Fridays just got a lot hotter!
Daren Kagasoff shared a photo of himself pumping gas. I am surprised the gas station did not go up in flames because he is smoking hot.
Looking at his chiseled face with a serious expression and his body leaning up against the car like that has me singing Pump It by Black Eyed Peas. Boy, do I want him to pump it.
If you were a kid born in the ’70s or ’80s, it was your dream to work at a video store as a teen. Some of us got to do it, and it was a totally rad job. However, some people never wanted to leave, so they didn’t. And that is the basis of Blockbuster which is coming to Netflix on November 3rd.
Timmy Yoon (Randall Park) is an analog dreamer in a 5G world. He’s spent his entire adult life dedicated to his first love, movies — a passion that’s kept him at his first and only job, managing his hometown Blockbuster Video.
Then Timmy is alarmed to learn that his store is officially the last Blockbuster in America. He now has no choice but to take action to stay open and keep his friends employed. Timmy and his staff quickly come to realize that being home to the last Blockbuster might actually be exactly what their community needs to rekindle the human connections they lost to the digital age. It also unexpectedly reunites him with his long-time crush Eliza (Melissa Fumero), who’s recently come back to work for him. Will this battle to preserve the past be the push Timmy needs to step into the present? His employees can only hope so.
Does anyone else find it ironic that a show about Blockbuster is coming to Netflix since so many think the streaming site caused the demise of the video store? It didn’t, but we believe it did.
Who else misses going to rent a movie in person? The good old days. Gd, I am old!
The Rock has said he was going to run for President of the United States. He even went as far as making it a plot point in his BioCom, Young Rock, on NBC.
That was then. Is he still considering being a candidate? DJ tells CBS Sunday Morning’s Tracy Smith that “It’s off the table. Yes. It is off the table. I will say this ‘cause it requires a B-side to this.
“I love our country and everyone in it. I also love being a daddy. And that’s the most important thing to me is being a daddy, number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters’ lives. Because I know what it was like to be on the road and be so busy that I was absent for a lot of years in my first daughter’s…Growing up in this critical age at this critical time in their life.”
As much as I love and respect that he is putting being a daddy first. I was going to vote for him, and I was looking forward to saying President The Rock because I think he would be great at the job. And it is all about me and my need to see my college alum get elected as the Head of State.
Were you going to vote for him too?
You can watch the rest of the interview on Sunday morning.
