The Resident moves to its new night tonight at 8p on Fox and it takes place a month after the season finale.
Nic (Emily VanCamp) is still dealing with the loss of her family member. In the season finale, her father gave her sister his kidney. The surgeries did not go as smoothly as expected. Therefore, only one survived and we find out who. The loss is so devastating to her that she cannot even step into the hospital. Tonight she goes back for the first time.
Not on a good day. As soon as she walks in, there is an explosion in the basement. Little does she know that Conrad (Matt Czuchry) went down to the basement looking for a lost little boy. Together the two of them and another person are caught in the explosion. Will Nic lose someone else she loves?
Meanwhile, Dr. Bell (Bruce Greenwood) is dealing with the hospital being sold to a conglomerate. They made him take on Barrett Cain (Morris Chestnut) neurosurgeon, who has an ego that puts them all to shame. As we know, no one has a bigger ego than Bell. At least we used to know.
Chastain General is going through a lot of changes this season. I cannot wait to see them play out.

Then at 9p, Empire begins its final season. It will be a figuratively explosive one. The show picks up months after the season finale.
Lucious (Terrence Howard) is in hiding and has a new look. Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) is on a View like show. Andre (Trai Byers) is running Empire but someone comes in claim their stake. He does not want this person there.
The Lyons are trying to figure out who they are without their leader. However, how long can he stay away? Do they need him?
You are just going to have to tune in for a season where anything can happen. Anything but Jussie Smollett coming back to the show this season.

Also at 9p, is FBI that starts off with a Muslim restaurant getting bombed. The case hits close to home for Omar (Zeeko Zaki) who used to eat there all the time as a kid. This is his community in more ways than one.
When an FBI agent comes to him and tells him that there is going to be another attack, he has to go undercover to stop it. Since this is close to him, he will make a mistake. One that could cost him his job.
The episode also looks at what Muslims in America have been dealing with since 9/11. Something they handle very responsibly.
Tune in for an emotional season premiere that really makes people think.
NBC announced today that it picked up Law & Order: SVU for a 21st season. That makes it the longest-running primetime live-action series in television history. Beating the record that Gunsmoke held since 1975. This is the second record that Gunsmoke lost this year, The Simpsons took the title of most episodes produced by a scripted show away. Poor Gunsmoke, their records are going up in, well, gunsmoke.
But this is not about the Western, it is about the Special Victims Unit of the New York City Police Department, an elite squad of detectives who investigate crimes of sexual assault, child abuse and domestic violence.
One of those detectives is Lt. Oliva Benson and she is the longest-running female character in a primetime live-action series. Which is hard to believe because Mariska Hargitay has not aged a day since the show debuted in 1999. What is her secret?
Congrats to all involved. Celebrate it like you just turned 21 all over again. Which means ending the night worshiping the porcelain Gd.
Two of the biggest West Coast Rappers are working on a project together on the East Coast. Ice T revealed today that Snoop Dogg is guest starring on an upcoming episode of Law & Order: SVU. Ice T did not say if Snoop is a good guy or a bad one on the NBC procedural, but he says it is titled Diss. I am sure it will be the shiznit and nothing to diss.
It is amazing that the two men, who have had their run-ins with the law, are working on a cop show. The irony is not lost on me. It also shows people do change.
It just dawned on me, when I was trying to figure out if they worked together before, that I interviewed both of them on the red carpet for Flavor Flav’s Comedy Central Roast.
We all know the theme song to Law & Order, but can you dance to it like the one from Friends? That is what Jimmy Fallon wanted to find out. Therefore, he sent The Tonight Show crew down to Rockefeller Plaza and asked some of the tourists to give it try.
Turns out you can. You can do The Floss, breakdancing, ballet and so much more to that beat. Maybe NBC should change up the opening to Law & Order: SVU dick next season and show Ice-T and Mariska Hargitay busting a move to it. How amazing would that be?
What other theme songs do you wonder if people could dance to it too?
NBC announced today that it picked up Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD for another season bringing their totals to 5, 8 and 7 respectively. Although, the decision was a no brainer because they have won all 15 Wednesday nights that they have aired this season thus far. Which makes you wonder why it took them so long to renew Dick Wolf’s shows based in Chicago and when are they going to renew Law & Order: SVU for his 258th season? Or something like that.
BTW no word if they will keep Chicago One on one night, but I think we can all agree they would be stupid not to do that. I still don’t understand why CBS has never done that with all the NCISes and CSIs when they were on the air. At least ABC realized it was a good idea when they did with Shonda Rimes’ shows on Thursdays.
