Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Today was a good day for several series on CBS, Hulu, and ABC.

I will start the news off with CBS. The network picked up Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Hollywood Squares, Elsbeth, Fire Country, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney for another season.

But that is only eight shows. What is #9? Ghosts will haunt us for two more seasons.

Those nine join returning shows Matlock, FBI, Survivor, and The Amazing Race, new shows Fire County spinoff Sheriff Country, Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue, and singing competition The Road.

Over at Hulu, Dan Fogleman’s Paradise, which stars his This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, will remain underground for another season.

Finally, ABC loves 9-1-1 so much that they are adding Nashville to the franchise next season. But before then, we are going to get a 9-1-1/Doctor Odyssey crossover in March. According to Variety, the episode takes part during Casino week, and “unexpected guest Athena Grant suspects two passengers are targeting the ship’s vault. Enlisting Max’s help, Athena raises the stakes in a dangerous game where not everyone will end up with a winning hand.”

I wish ABC and Ryan Murphy had picked someone else to take the cruise because it seems
unrealistic that she would get back on a ship so quickly after last year’s water disaster.

Even though we are seven months away from the 2025-2026 season, I can’t wait for it to start.

Iain Armitage is in NYC, and he was all excited to wear a costume he ordered for Halloween. However, it didn’t arrive in time.

So what did the actor do? Bazinga! A thought came to his head and he did something that Sheldon Cooper would do. He dressed as Young Sheldon!

How did it go for him? He says, “People told me all night that I really look like him!” If they only knew…

This story has a happy ending! The costume finally arrived. So he can wear it next year.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage has been such a huge success for CBS that the network is not waiting to pick it up for a full season. So that is what they did today with the Young Sheldon spinoff, which was a prequel to The Big Bang Theory.

“With the resounding success of THE BIG BANG THEORY and YOUNG SHELDON, we were instantly on board when Chuck [Lorre], Steven [Molaro], and Steve [Holland] brought us the idea to further explore this world through GEORGIE & MANDY’S FIRST MARRIAGE,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The enthusiastic audience reception has demonstrated the enormous appeal of these characters and we can’t wait to see all of the hilarious fun this season will undoubtedly deliver.”

The endearing Chuck Lorre sitcom stars Montana Jordan and Emily Osment in the title roles and airs Thursday at 8p.

Yesterday, on the 1-hour series finale of Young Sheldon, we watched the Coopers say goodbye to George at his funeral.

But there was something we all missed: Lance Barber, who played the guy in the coffin, showed up to his funeral as a living woman.

Did you see him with all of the mourners? Because I didn’t. That was a really good disguise.

What I did see was what a great job that his TV daughter Raegen Revord did in that episode. I can’t wait to see what she does next. Not only has she grown in inches, but she also grew as an actress!

When CBS announced that this season of Young Sheldon would be its last, we were sad.

But then they gave us something to look forward to. They revealed that Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik would reprise their roles as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler.

Today, the network shared a first look at the two from the series finale, which airs on May 16th. And it is obvious that this episode is going to be bittersweet.

At least it will not be the last time that we will see the Coopers. Sheldon’s big brother is getting a spinoff next season, Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage, with Montana Jordan and Emily Osment.
