SWAT’s Louis Ferrigno Jr. holding a kitten |

On CBS’s SWAT Louis Ferrigno Jr. plays a tough guy, but in real life, he is a big old softie. Especially if he holds a meowvelous little kitten.
This video is so sweet that it could even make The Hulk turn back into Bruce Banner. That’s right, Louis Ferrigno is his dad. And hopefully, his dad became a grandfurther, as in Jr. adopted that precious baby. They are a purrfect a pair!
Now that you are in love with the actor, make sure to watch him on SWAT at 10p.

Day 2 of the fall season and it is really bad |
| September 25th, 2018 under ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Wayans Brothers. [ Comments: none ]
|
| Tonight is the second night of the fall season and it is the worst night of television on all of the networks except for NBC. Tonight, we will be crying over This Is Us and tomorrow the heads of ABC, CBS and Fox will be crying over their how bad their shows are.
As I did yesterday and will continue to do, I will do my opinion of best to worst and tonight is a lot of worse.

I will start off with New Amsterdam that debuts at 10p on NBC. It is my favorite new show of the season. It was the only pilot that made me cry. That is because there is a lot of heart in the medical drama. It is not too focused on medical procedures or being a soap opera. It is about the patient as an individual and the doctors who want to make them feel better.
Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) is the brand medical director at Bellevue Hospital in NYC. He is going to shake things up at his new job. He tells the doctors put the patient before billing and he means it. He fires the whole cardiac surgical unit because that is what they do.
He wants to hear what the doctors want, so they can make the hospital a better place. The doctors are more than willing to do it, and it is starting to make them better doctors. How long can they do this before the money people make them stop? Not only that Dr. Goodwin has a secret of his own, one that might limit how long he stays at the hospital.
Thankfully he has a lot of good doctors to back him up like Dr. Hana Sharpe (Freema Agyeman), Dr. Laura Bloom (Janet Montgomery), Dr. Floyd Pearson (Jocko Sims), Dr. Anil Kapoor (Anupam Kher) and Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine).
I just love the feel of the show because it is a medical drama but not one that makes you feel like you might get diagnosed with one the unusual illnesses they have. Plus, Ryan Eggold plays the role so brilliantly. He is one of them, while also being their boss. You can feel the compassion in his performance.
Actually, you feel the compassion about the whole show and that is why it is my favorite new show of the season.

The fall TV season begins tonight |
| September 24th, 2018 under ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC. [ Comments: none ]
|
| It is the first Monday after the Emmys and that means it is time for the start of the fall season on broadcast TV. As much as this pains to me say, this is the weakest one for new shows in a really long time. Since there are a lot of shows premiering over the next few weeks, I am going to put them all in one post on a daily basis from, what I think is, best to worst.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhKmfJrnrw0
The best show of the night goes to a new one and that is Manifest that debuts on NBC at 10p. Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and her family went on vacation with her brother, Ben (Josh Dallas), his wife Grace (Athena Karkanis), their twins, Cal (Jack Messina) and Olive (Luna Blaise) and their parents (Malachy Cleary and Geraldine Leer) and it is time to go home.
Michaela is ready to get home, but she will do anything not to travel with her nagging mom. When the airline opens up 4 seats, she decides to go along with her brother and his son who is battling cancer. Cal’s diagnosis is grim, so Ben wants to spend some time alone with him. They just have no idea what will happen next.
Their flight seems normal until they hit some turbulence. Once things level out, it is time to land at JFK. Air traffic control tells them to land at a nearby airport instead. When they get there, they find out that it has been 5 and 1/2 years since they took off. No one has aged a day in that time, while everyone else on the ground, including their family, has.
After several hours of quarantine, the passengers are reunited with their families. Now, they have to adjust to being together again. That is not the only difference, they start hearing a voice in their head that tells them to do something. They do not understand and that is something we are going to find out.
While I really like the pilot, I am cautionary optimistic because we have been down this road before with sci-fi shows. They give a good pilot and then it is all downhill from there. Hopefully, this will break that pattern. Please break the pattern because there is a lot of potential here.

Elizabeth Olsen and Natalie Cole are competing on Survivor |
| September 5th, 2018 under CBS. [ Comments: none ]

CBS announced today the 20 contestants who will be competing on the 37th season of Survivor, and there are some familiar names on the show. Those names are Elizabeth Olsen and Natalie Cole. They are just not the Elizabeth Olsen and Natalie Cole we know. Olsen is a 31-year-old from Texas who works in the kitchen. While Cole, 56, is from LA and she is a publishing CEO.
The theme for this season is David vs Goliath. Which means, the new castaways are “divided into two groups of 10 strangers. Castaways who make up the David tribe have overcome adversity in their lives, while the castaways on the Goliath tribe tend to capitalize on their individual advantages and use it against their opponents. This extreme game of social politics will focus on the underdogs versus the favorites and reveal that every Goliath has an Achilles heel, while every David has a secret. weapon.
Still sounds confusing to me. I am sure it will all make more sense when they explain it during the 90-minute season premiere on September 26th.

Hopefully The Neighborhood is better than their jokes |
| August 16th, 2018 under 2 Broke Girls, CBS. [ Comments: none ]

|
Today is National Joke Day and CBS asked the cast of The Neighborhood to tell their favorite jokes. Max Greenfield went first followed by Tischina Arnold and finally Beth Behrs. Cedric the Entertainer, who is one of the Kings of Comedy, just announced when their sitcom will premiere.
If the show is anything like their jokes, it will be cancelled before a cow can say moo. But since I have seen the pilot, I can say it is better than their jokes. Thankfully! It was my favorite new comedy of the fall season.
Therefore, don’t forget to check it out on October 1st.
