Elsbeth investigates a TV procedural’s murder
December 19th, 2024 under CBS. [ Comments: none ]

Tonight at 10p on CBS, get ready for a TV show within a TV show or procedural inside of a procedural. In other words, Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) is called in to find out who killed the executive producer of a Law & Order: SVU-type show.

Regina Coburn (Laurie Metcalf), think Mariska Hargitay, is the star of the show, and she is getting ready to take a hiatus from the long-running series so that she can act in a play in London. So, the showrunner agreed to put her character into a coma.

Regina hates her co-star, Jack Wilson (Dominic Fumusa). However, the fans of the show want the two of them to hook up. How far did someone go to make sure that storyline will happen or will not happen? That is what Elsbeth has to find out.

And it is not the only murder she is looking into. She is still trying to find out if Judge Crawford (Michael Emerson) killed the man who was the victim in the murder case she was a juror on last week.

You want to make sure to watch the final minutes because they will set up what we can expect from the second half of this season, which returns on January 30th.

But let’s finish talking about tonight’s episode. Metcalf is so brilliant in this episode, and I am so happy that she was because her performance on The Conners made me forget that she can act.

Will a murder ruin Elsbeth’s Christmas spirit?
December 5th, 2024 under CBS. [ Comments: none ]

Elsbeth celebrates Christmas tonight at 10p on CBS. It wouldn’t be an episode of the police procedural unless someone was murdered, and that is precisely what happens.

Mr. and Mrs. Christmas, aka Dirk and DeeDee Dashers (Vanessa Bayer), light up the holiday season. However, it is a broken light on a Christmas tree that will take out Dirk. Who would want to kill the man who encompasses the season, especially right before the big day?

Will his death ruin the holiday for everyone, including cheerful Elsbeth (Carrie Preston), who is all about this time of year?

Elsbeth, Kaya (Carra Patterson), and Detective Donnelly (Molly Price) will spend the days leading up until December 25th looking into who killed Dirk. His murder will be a tough nut to crack, even for Elsbeth.

Along the way, while solving the case, she will get some bad news, which will damper her cheer. Our happy detective is going to make you cry with her. Is there anything that can bring joy back into her life?

Solving the murder would be a start, but it is not enough for her. She keeps getting sad news. Will she finally get a Christmas miracle?

You will have to tune in for an episode that is as sweet as all of the gumdrops, chocolate Santas, hot cocoa, egg nog, and candy canes out there.

If ever there was a drama that deserved a Christmas episode, it is this one. And the writers worked their holiday magic with this episode.

No shit, Sherlock. Watson looks so good!
November 27th, 2024 under CBS. [ Comments: none ]

It has been five years since we said goodbye to Elementary on CBS. On January 26th, we are going to say hello to the spinoff Watson.

Watson takes place six months after the death of the titular character’s friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty. The show stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, who resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson’s old life isn’t done with him, though – Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century. Watson is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history’s greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.

This looks like House with a likable lead. So, I can’t wait to see what mysterious ailments Watson will be tackling. How excited are you for this medical procedural?

CBS announced earlier this year that Blue Bloods is on its final tour. Today, the network announced that the Reagans will say goodbye on December 13th.

When CBS announced that they cancelled the series, I thought they were making a mistake. However, with their new shows, Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Matlock, and Elsbeth, all doing really well in the ratings, it makes sense that they are getting rid of an expensive show for cheaper ones.

CBS’s Monday lineup will be around all season
November 7th, 2024 under CBS, NCIS, Wayans Brothers. [ Comments: none ]

CBS changed things up this season, and they added Poppa’s House and NCIS: Origins to their Monday night schedule.

Today, the network announced that both shows were picked up for a full season.

“NCIS: ORIGINS has added a brilliant new dimension to the NCIS franchise with an origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and a cinematic ’90s experience that features distinct characters, stories and crime solving. POPPA’S HOUSE excels with the dynamic father/son chemistry between Damon and Damon Jr. and their family-inspired stories that bring this comedy to life. These shows fit seamlessly into our Monday night lineup while resonating with viewers on CBS and Paramount+,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.

If you have not seen Poppa’s House, you should check it out. The Wayans bring a lot of funny to comedy which also has smart humor.

The Monday shows join CBS’s other two shows Matlock and Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage with additional episode orders. Matlock was picked up for a second season, while the Chuck Lorre comedy will be around all of this season.
