Monday night was huge for CBS with The Big Bang Theory and Scorpion, and now they don’t want to mess with that for a few weeks. So instead of debuting Mom on Monday like planned, they are going to run repeats of TBBT at 8:30p for the next three weeks. Then on October 20th, The Millers moves to Mondays at 8:30p. The following week 2 Broke Girls returns to CBS’s Mondays at 8p followed by The Millers. On Thursday, October 30th, TBBT returns to its old timeslot, Thursdays at 8p, followed by the depressing Mom, the ending Two and a Half Men and the new comedy The McCarthys that will grow on you.
Think you understand what is going on, well don’t. Come the New Year, Mom moves back to Mondays on January 5th at 8:30p and 3 days later The Millers goes back to Thursday at the same time.
All of this is for now, but I am sure it will change again. Because none of this really makes sense. Good thing I have a DVR, so it can figure out this mess and I don’t have to.
If my post doesn’t make sense to you, then to see the schedule that CBS sent with the press release click here!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sgJIKii5wQ NCIS: New Orleans makes its standalone premiere on CBS tonight at 9p and it is something to be jazzed about.
A partial leg is found by the docks and now the NCIS team is called in to investigate it. When Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) is told that a Navy Seal has gone missing, he begins to think the two are connected. He thinks it’s a friend of his who he helped get out of the gangs and go good. So what happened to him? That is what they are going to find out.
We almost didn’t find this out because the show was not supposed to be a spinoff. Executive Producer Gary Glassberg told us at the CBS TCA Summer Press Day that he was talking to NCIS’ Mark Harmon about some sweeps ideas, and going to New Orleans was pitched. Harmon told him, “Gary, those aren’t the sweeps episodes. That’s a series.” Just over a year later, NCIS: NoLa is airing as its own show every Tuesday at 9p. When Hollywood sees something great, they move on it. A decision that has proven to be smart move on CBS’s part.
Scorpion makes its brilliant debut on CBS tonight at 9p and you don’t want to miss my favorite new drama of the fall.
Walter O’Brien (Elyes Gabel) is a genius. When I say genius, I mean his IQ is higher than Albert Einstein’s is. When he was kid, he hacked into NASA and that put him on the government’s radar. They used his intelligence for something bad and ever since then he doesn’t trust them.
Today, he is working with three other geniuses but they are doing simple tasks below their brain power. Then one day a knock on their door will change everything.
Agent Cabe Gallo (Robert Patrick) is now the lead agent for the NSA and he needs Walter’s help again. Even after all of this time Walter hasn’t forgiven him, but Gallo offers his team more money than they are used to seeing so they accept his task.
On tonight’s episode, LAX updated their software and it was corrupt. Now communication is lost with all the planes landing in the LA area. All but 56 of them were rerouted, but the remaining ones are running out of gas and more importantly time. Unless Walter and his team can come up with a solution all those souls will be lost.
Walter’s team consists of Happy Quinn (Jadyn Wong), who is a mechanical wiz, and she can rewire anything and so much more. Sylvester Dodd (Ari Stidham), is a statistician that will blow your mind away with his use of numbers. Finally, there is Toby Curtis (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and he has the power to read anyone and knows what they will do. Since they are so smart, they have a hard time relating to people like you and me.
Paige Dineen (Katharine McPhee) is a waitress with a son, who is challenged. Walter, just did some work at her restaurant and now he is back with his team to save the 56 planes. She will help them come up with the solutions, when all help is lost because she is used to dealing with her son who is just like them. They will tell her that her son is a genius just like them, and they can help her understand him. She becomes their connection to the average people and they help her connect with her son.
But first she gets swept in their mission, and when I say swept up, I mean it. Gabel and McPhee take part in one of the best action sequences you will ever see on television. It is seriously genius and will have your heart pumping as fast as theirs.
If that is not a reason to watch, then the adrenaline rush you get from watching this brilliant show should be.
I fell in love with the show after the first time I saw it, and I loved it even more the second time around. It is smart, exciting and emotional all rolled into one. So what more do you need on a Monday night at 9p? Nothing, so watch it as every Monday they take on a new case since they are now working for the NSA.
Scorpion is based on Walter O’Brien and this show is inspired by his life and his high functioning brain. Really, if that doesn’t amaze you, then you will be missing out on this season’s most exciting new drama.
NCIS’s Michael Weatherly Tweeted this photo of himself with NCIS: New Orleans’ Scott Bakula in hazard suits and I wonder what they’re saying about their Tuesday night pairing? That we are going to need to protection now that TV’s #1 show is paired with its very hot spinoff. I guess so!
So suit up because we are going to need to be prepared for all the Fat Tuesdays coming up, starting September 23rd on CBS!
