Tonight at 8p on TNT, The Librarians is finally back with two all-new episodes to save the world. Not from Donald Trump, but from magical artifacts falling into the wrong hands.
For example, during the 4th season premiere, someone has unearth one of the four cornerstones from the Library of Alexandria. If someone finds all four stones before Eve (Rebecca Romijn), Flynn (Noah Wyle), Jacob (Christian Kane), Ezekiel (John Harlan Kim) and Cassandra (Lindy Booth) do, then their library will be destroyed. Time is of the essence, and they have one major problem, they don’t know where any of the stones are hidden and there is no map detailing their location.
Thankfully, Jenkins (John Larroquette) knows someone who might be able to help them, since she hid the stones. But there is something else about her, she used to be Flynn’s old guardian before Eve and they also had love connection. Oh and Flynn thought she was dead. What will that mean for the future of Fleve? Especially since your saw their wedding in that sneak peek. But I have said too much.
The Librarians is the perfect mix of Sci-Fi, adventure and comedy all rolled into one show that you can watch with your family. How many shows like this can you do that with? And wait until you see next week’s Christmas themed episode.
Then at 8:30p but over on ABC, it is time for a DiMeo Christmas on Speechless. When Jimmy (John Ross Bowie) and Maya (Minnie Driver) are woken up by Dylan’s (Kyla Kenedy) snake, they did not know about, the family decides they want a dog. Well everyone but JJ (Micah Fowler), who would have to get the pup as a service dog since they are not allowed to own any animals at the house they are renting. He is busy with his film class, so he does not have time for a dog. Dylan goes behind his back to get the dog and when JJ finds out, he tells her he is going to get r-e-revenge on her. She is afraid, she is very afraid and she should be.
Also afraid of something is their brother, Ray (Mason Cook), wants to introduce his mom to his girlfriend’s mom. Taylor’s (Sedona James) mom (Sarah Chalke) and Maya have a history causing friction for everyone. Is this is the end of Raylor?
Finally, Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough) makes the mistake of telling Jimmy that the store he is moonlights at is giving away free turkeys. Kenneth accidentally tells Jimmy how to break the system, so that he can get as many of the frozen bird as he wants. Kenneth knows it is a mistake because he knows the DiMeos, he just doesn’t realize how much of one until he opens the freezer door and several of them fall out of there since turkeys cannot fly. Why does Jimmy need all of those turkeys, you will just have to tune in to see.
Speechless is not your normal family show because the DiMeos are not perfect people, but they are the perfect family for each other. At the end of the day they take care of each other and that is a big part of making a good family sitcom. That and a lot of laughs, which every week they deliver. And the biggest selling point is they treat JJ like he is a normal kid and not like one who has Cerebral Palsy, and that alone makes this show very special to me with everything else is just grave on top.
Tonight at 8:30p on ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat, it is Christmastime 1997. Do you remember what movie came out that holiday? One word, Titanic, and Louis wants to see it. Only problem is no one wants to go see it with him, so he goes by himself. While he is there, he runs into Honey (Chelsey Crisp), his wife’s BFF who also has no one to see it with. They go to see the movie together, but don’t tell anyone they did. Now Honey’s husband, Marvin (Ray Wise), thinks his wife is having an affair and asks his best friend Louis who she is sneaking away to the movies with. What will he do?
Meanwhile, Jessica (Constance Wu) is the head of her neighborhood Christmas Caroling group and they don’t want her in charge. They hire Holly (Paula Abdul) to replace her and she kicks Jessica out because she does not have Christmas spirit. When her youngest son, Evan (Ian Chen) calls her out in it, it breaks her heart. What will she do?
Jessica’s other two sons, Eddie (Hudson Yang) and Emory (Forrest Wheeler) are trying to help their next door neighbor, Nicole (Luna Blaise), get a date with the barrister she has a crush on at this new place called Starbucks. Will she be able to land the girl with the help from her friends?
All of this leads to some sweet surprises and someone getting the perfect Christmas gift. And we get the gift another Huang Christmas! What more can you ask for tonight?
Cedric Yarbough recorded this video of him lip synching and dancing to Annibale E I Cantori Moderni’s Trinity (Titoli) and said this with the video, “(Yes, I’m bored. Someone date me.)” Therefore, does this video make you want to date the actor who leaves you Speechless every week? I say yes because that makes him a triple threat and who doesn’t love a triple threat?
Want to see him win his way to your heart through your stomach (by causing you belly laughs), then watch him on Speechless tonight and every Wednesday at 8:30p on ABC.
Years after Alec Baldwin had a failed show on MSNBC, ABC has decided to give him a second shot at hosting a talk show. According to Page Six, it will be like his radio show Here’s the Thing With Alec Baldwin but in front of the cameras. Here’s the Thing is described as, giving “the listener unique entrée into the lives of artists, policy makers and performers. Alec sidesteps the predictable by taking listeners inside the dressing rooms, apartments, and offices of people such as comedian Chris Rock, political strategist Ed Rollins and Oscar winner Michael Douglas.”
If someone would have told me that Alec Baldwin would be a great talk show host before Match Game, I never would have believed them. Now, I say I cannot wait to see what he does with it.
If it is a go, of course. They will be taping some test episodes next week and that will give ABC their first glimpse if it should be a go. Then the tough part is finding out where to put in the overpopulated talk show space on ABC.
When Katy Mixon was on Mike & Molly, she was skinny. Then when she was cast in American Housewife, she put on a few pounds. Even more as the season went on because she was pregnant with her first child. While most Hollywood moms cannot wait to take the weight off, she is not one them.
In fact, she tells Steve Harvey on his show today,”I am a very firm believer that it is only you in this World and therefore that is powerful. And my weight does not define me. It is not my self worth.” Then she added, “I am a very big fan of you gotta march to the beat of your own drum. Not look to the left or the right and hold your head high to walk through the fire. And realize you are not going to get it perfect every time. That is where I live. That is what I believe.”
I believe whether she is a size 2 or a size 14, she is absolutely gorgeous inside and out! And funny as all hell! If you have never seen her shows, then you really need to check her out in American Housewife every Wednesday at 9:30p on ABC.
