I know a lot of people look at Roseanne as the most politically conscience show on television, but they are wrong. That title belongs to Superior Donuts. Tonight at 9p on CBS, the show takes on ICE.
Randy (Katey Sagal) tells everyone that she is going to have work with ICE agents, but she really does not want to. That is when everyone in the shop starts to debate the topic. Everyone has a different opinion on the matter. No one more than Sofia (Diane Guerrero). Everyone thinks she might be here illegally, so they want to figure out how to protect her. Franco (Jermaine Fowler) comes up with a plan to keep her safe and it involves the donut shop. The only thing is that they cannot tell Arthur (Judd Hirsch) about it. Will they be able to hide them from Arthur and Randy?
What makes Superior Donuts so great is that they take on every side of story and ones you never figured on. Tonight, they show how the liberal, an immigrant, an old guy set in his ways, a cop who has to work with ICE and someone who illegal immigration is close to, all deal with the politically charged topic. By the end of the half hour, you will have a whole new outlook on the issue than you did before. This sitcom is educational while still being hilariously funny. We need more of that on TV!
Then at 10p but over on NBC, it is time for the Good Girls season finale. And what a way to end the season.
Beth (Christina Hendricks) is convinced that Rio (Manny Montana) is going to kill them. Therefore, she comes up with a plan on how to take him out. That is with the help of her sister, Annie (Mae Whitman), and best friend Ruby (Retta).
Turns out the timing is perfect because Ruby needs the money ASAP to pay for her daughter’s transplant. Did you know you need to pay for it upfront? And the surgery comes to almost $90,000. That is after insurance pays for 80% of it.
Anyways, the three women come up with the perfect plan. Just as they are executing it, all the lies that everyone has been hiding start to be revealed. Each one will have a different consequence. All leading to a shocking ending that will cause you to beg NBC to bring back the show for another season.
All I will say is not everyone gets their happy ending. Actually, none of them do. Which is why we need a second season of this show that proves that Good Girls can be bad girls too! About time we saw shows like this on TV. We know that man can be bad, but so can us ladies. As Mae West said, “When I am good, I’m very good. When I’m bad, I am better.”
Last season on Undercover Boss, they changed it up and had celebrities go undercover to discover new talent. Darius Rucker helped give some singers a really big break and Marcus Samuelsson did the same for chefs.
Starting on May 11th, CBS is doing a whole season of just celebrities. The first four celebs are Gabby Douglas, who will mentor gymnasts. The following week, Idina Menzel will look for the next Broadway stars. The third week goes to YouTube with Bethany Mota. For the fourth week, they scored a home run and a touch down with Deion Sanders as he searches for amazing football coaches.
All the celebrities will be given wigs, prosthetics and makeup to change up their looks. Except for the Wicked actress, they were all unrecognizable. I would never have known it was them, would you?
Like said, these are the first four celebrities, additional stars will be named at a later date. I cannot wait to see who they get next.
Undercover Boss is the most positive show on CBS. If you have never seen it before, then why not start with this season. Once you fall in love with it, you can watch the past seasons on Netflix.

Tonight at 10p, Code Black checks in for a third season on CBS. Mama (Luis Guzman) and Papa (Marcia Gay Harden) have their hand fulls at one of the busiest ERs in the country.
The episode starts off with the new interns and they are going to have a busy first day ahead of them. Col. Ethan Willis (Rob Lowe) is a field doctor this season and he is going to ride along with Rox Valenzuela (Moon Bloodgood). Their first case together is a shootout at a house where they have powder Fentanyl. They have to save the victims of both the gunshots and the ones who inhaled the drug. Both are equally as fatal.
While they are out in the field Dr. Leanne Roris (Harden) brings her foster daughter (Emily Alyn Lind) into work as a candy striper. Ariel will meet a boy with cancer and fall in love. Not only that she will learn a lot about life while she works at the hospital.
In the coming weeks, they will deal with a warehouse collapse, a road rage incident, a 12-year-old girl who is alone on a plane with her mom who is passed out, deadly wildfires, an accident at a step competition, a boat explosion, a kid who drinks boiling water, one of their own who is injured in a hit and run, and finally a plane crash.
If that is not enough to deal with, they have to deal with their personal lives too. There will be loss, love and so much more. They are a make-shift family in all of this madness.
Be prepared to laugh and cry with each episode. And next week get ready to dance along with a musical number that opens the show. There is a reason for it and the cast and crew went all out for this song and dance number.
Code Black is the perfect mix of medical and personal drama rolled into one great show. One that heats up our summer nights and gives us the adrenaline to get through the rest of week.
Whether you have seen this show before or tonight will be the first time, you will quickly be hooked on this thrilling medical drama that has a lot of heart as they are saving lives.

CBS has decided they no longer are feeling righteous with their sitcom Living Biblically, so they are pulling it from the lineup effective immediately. The show that is produced by Johnny Galecki will be replaced by the one he stars in aka The Big Bang Theory. Is the news a surprise? I will ask you by asking you another question, “Did you even know it was on?” You are not alone, thus why they excommunicated it.
Last year, when NBC picked up Taken for a second season, people were like why? Back then, no one was watching the show based on the movie and now even fewer people are checking it out. If you are the one person that watched it, then you are in for a rude awakening tomorrow because it is no longer airing on Fridays. Come May 26th, the remaining episodes will air on Saturday nights.
Are you sad that either show is basically cancelled? Or are you saying praise Jesus for putting those shows out of misery?
CBS announced today that they picked up 7 dramas, 2 reality shows and 2 news programs for next season.
Bull, NCIS: New Orleans, Survivor, The Amazing Race, MacGyver, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, NCIS: LA and Madam Secretary will join NCIS, SEAL Team, SWAT, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Mom and Murphy Brown on CBS’s 2018-2019 fall schedule.
That is a lot of shows, so what is missing? Kevin Can Wait, Man with a Plan, Superior Donuts, Living Biblically, Scorpion, Criminal Minds, Life in Pieces and Instinct.
Of those, I think Scorpion and Criminal Minds are gone along with at least one hour of sitcoms. Which sitcoms won’t be back, I am not sure. The only one I am watching of the ones not picked up is Superior Donuts, so I hope it is back.
I also think that if Code Black and Elementary do well enough in the summer ratings, they will be back next summer.
