We are in the final days on 2019 and CBS announced today what their plans are for the start of the New Year.
On January 7th, they are starting things off the FBI spinoff that is as dark as Criminal Minds. Which will begin its final season the next day along with Undercover Boss.
Then in February, we get to know Tommy on the 6th. The next night, MacGyver is back at 8p and Hawaii Five-O moves to 9. On the 12th, Survivor is back for its 40th edition. Finally on the 16th, NCIS: NoLA joins LA.
Tonight at 8p on CBS’s The Neighborhood, it is Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) and Tina’s (Tichina Arnold) 30th anniversary. As soon a Gemma (Beth Behrs) finds that out, she convinces them to have the wedding they never had. They got married the first time around in a courthouse.
Gemma gets so excited, she is spending their money like it grows on trees. Something that the very cheap Calvin does not like. He does something that causes Tina to call off the wedding.
Will Calvin and Tina get married or get divorced? You have to tune in to find out. There are definitely a lot of funny twists and turns throughout the episode.
Also at 8p but over on Fox, we learn Athena’s (Angela Bassett) backstory on 9-1-1. Before she was a police officer, she wanted to be a lawyer. Then one day, she met Emmett a cop and she fell in love. Not only did he convince her to become a cop, but he also asked her to marry him. She said yes.
Before they said I do, he was killed on the job and his killer was never caught. That was until now. The gun that killed her first love has just been found and she is going to do everything she can to trace back who had it on that fateful night. She will do things that will put her risk.
How far will she go to find her fiance’s killer? You are going to watch this episode that finally explains why she is the way that she is.
While Fox and NBC have announced the fate for 2/3 of their new shows, CBS is batting 100. Today, all of their shows got the news that was just what the doctor ordered, Bob ♥ Abishola, All Rise, The Unicorn and Carol’s Second Act were all picked up for a full season. Wait, what about Evil? Their first season will end with its lucky 13th episode. Does that mean it is cancelled? Not at all, it will be back for a second season.
I think CBS made the right choices. Evil is one of the few broadcast supernatural shows that actually got stronger after the pilot. Last week’s episode went to a place that not many shows will go. It was a brave risk that wound up working. Yesterday, after I watched Bob ♥ Abishola, I hoped CBS believed it enough to keep it around. Today, they did just that. One thing I hope they do on Thursday nights is move Carol’s Second Act, which is a really funny s
sitcom that has shown us a new side of Patricia Heaton, up an hour so it follows Young Sheldon. It is a much better fit with The Big Theory spinoff than The Unicorn. That and I thought the latter was this season’s worst new show.
Tonight at 8p on CBS, Young Sheldon is still dealing with finding out that his mentor Dr. Sturgis has been institutionalized at a mental hospital. To distract himself from it all, he is focusing all of his energy on solving a scientific problem. So much so, he does not care about anything else.
His mom (Zoe Perry) is worried about her son (Iain Armitage), so she and his MeeMaw (Annie Potts) tell him to find a new hobby. They try everything from exercise to the Church, and it does not work for him. He finally finds his newest addiction on his own and it is Lord of the Rings. He is so obsessed with it, he will drive everyone else crazy. What will they do?
Meanwhile, Sheldon’s sister (Raegan Revord) has a crush on a boy and she asks her father (Lance Barber) to help get him to like her. The two will finally bond which is really sweet to watch. However, is it sweet enough for her to land that boy?
Tonight’s episode proves that Revord is going to grow up to be a great little actress. Same with her older TV brother Montana Jordan. Actually, the whole cast really does a great job and that is why we keep tuning every week.
Then at 10p, tonight’s episode of Evil is really f*cked up. Yet, having said that, it is the series’ best episode yet.
Psychologist Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers), Chruch employee David Acosta (Mike Colter) and technical expert (Aasif Mandvi) are called in to investigate a boy that his parents believe might be possessed.
Two years ago, their oldest child went from a sweet child to a psychopath. The 9-year-old tried to poison his parents and he is obsessed with killing his baby sister. He has attacked her a few times, so her parents are afraid for her life. They have tried everything to make their son better and nothing has worked.
That is why they have finally called the Church in to see if maybe an exorcism might work. Before they can perform one, they have to make sure he is possessed. They will examine him, his surroundings and his parents to see what is causing him to be pure evil.
Can they figure out what is wrong with him before it is too late? All I will say is you are going to want to find out. This episode is very dark, but it is also very well done.
Evil is the best new drama of the season. It is creepy but it is also really interesting. Check it out, it will possess you…
Last week on Gd Friended Me, Gd friended Joy. However, when the episode ended, Gd sent Miles (Brandon Micheal Hall) a message telling him to find the lady. Who is that lady? Tonight at 8p (or after football and 60 Minutes), they will try to find out that answer in two different countries.
Before Miles can look into that, Joy (Jessica Lu) gets a new person that needs their help. A self-help speaker who is hiding a secret that is about to come back and haunt him. Joy and Miles have different ways of approaching the situation and it is going to make things worse. Will they be able to work together or will they destroy the lives they are trying to fix?
Miles does not only have to help a stranger, but he also has to help his sister and his father. Arthur (Joe Morton) has been keeping a secret from Ali (Javicia Leslie) to protect her. Turns out she knew along but never told her dad she knew. The secret was so devastating to her, it caused her to leave the church. Something that is hard for her dad to handle. Will Miles be able to bring them back together?
Talking about getting back together, Cara (Violett Beane) is trying to get Simon Hayes (Adam Goldberg) back together with her friend Annie (Susan Misner). The two had a falling out and he ruined her career. Even though Annie hates Simon, she is willing to work with him to help Cara solve the lady clue. They get some help to where the lady might be when they get some tips from where Gd sent her a Facebook message five years ago telling her Cara’s mom is in NY. What will the three of them find together?
Tune in for another touching episode of the drama. I wish there were more shows like this one on television these days. We need more wholesome shows on the boob tube and less violent ones.
Then at 10p, Madam Secretary is back for its final season. Or should we call it Madam President since Bess (Téa Leoni) is now the President of the United States?
The episode goes back in forth in time showing us what she had to do to get the job, getting the job and everything that goes along with it. A lot of what happens feels a lot like we have been going through for the last several years with Trump. Bess’ opponent is a lot like Trump. However, unlike the man in the White House, a scandal brings him down. A scandal that will come back to haunt her.
Being President is not easy, but she has good people helping her out. Although someone does not want their job and will remind her every chance they get.
How will life Bess’ life change now that she is Commander-in-Chief? We will have to tune in every week to find out.
