Tonight’s Dad on Fox at 8p is something that most boys who collected comic books can understand. Eli (Seth Green) pretty much tells his dad (Peter Riegert) he loves his comic books more than him, so David unknowingly sells them. Eli’s BFF and business partner, Warner (Giovanni Ribisi), is still upset that his dad (Martin Mull) sold his comic books when he was a kid. Crawford decides to make it up to his son, Warner, by buying him some more. Well that collection is a lot like Eli’s that recently just got stolen. Whose comic books are they? You will just have to tune in to find out in this funny episode with one good dad and one very bad dad.
Over at NBC at 10p, Chicago Fire is a train wreck as in they are sent to help out one. Before we get to that call, the episode starts out with Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) getting tested to see if he has lung cancer. By the end of the episode we will find out his diagnosis. We will also find out what his future is now that he said he is willing to step down from 51 in order to save the house. The train wreck I told you about will play in his decision.
Meanwhile, Kelly (Taylor Kinney) learns something shocking out about his dad (Treat Williams) and it will change their relationship. Talking about changed relationships, Casey (Jesse Specer) finds out that Heather is getting out of jail. Once she is reunited with her children, she tells him she has made a decision. Something that will change everything.
There will be a lot of changes for out firefighters tonight and there will be at least one person who will not be coming back. Tune in for this exciting and suspenseful episode to find out.

Law & Order: SVU holds you captive with an intense hour of excellent TV |

Law & Order: SVU ended last season with Benson (Mariska Hargitay) being held at gun point by the recently freed rapist, kidnapper and murderer, William Lewis (Pablo Schreiber), who always seems to get away with his brutal crimes. Well tonight’s season premiere on NBC at 9p picks up a few hours later with Benson tied to chair, duct tape on her mouth and bruises and burns all over her body.
Since she was on a forced two day leave from the unit, no one has checked in on her and her boyfriend, Cassidy (Dean Winters), had to cancel out on her because he had to work a double shift. Well now Cassidy is worried because he hasn’t heard from her, so he goes to check to see if anyone at SVU has. Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) is afraid that she might’ve gone down one of her “rabbit holes”, so he asks Fin (Ice-T) and Rollins (Kelli Giddish) to check on her because it has been 35 hours since they have heard from her. When they get there; they find her apartment has been ransacked and realize Lewis has her and attacked her.
Now they are all looking for Benson, knowing time is of the essence with him. No matter how good their clues are they keep hitting dead ends and that means even more time she is alone with this psychopath.
As they search for her, we witness what torture he puts her through over and over again. We know she will never be the same, but is that as bad as it is going to get for her?
In this one hour of excellent television, we will feel everyone’s emotions; Benson’s pain and will to live, Lewis’ torment, craziness and anger, and all of the detectives desperation as they try to find her but keep coming up empty handed time and time again.
Then there is a moment that will bring back the feeling you had when Edith hit her would be rapist in the face with a burnt pan on All in the Family. Does that mean she breaks free? You don’t want to know, you just want to follow every moment as it happens. That’s because Mariska Hargitay delivers an Emmy winning performance tonight. I can’t remember the last time when I saw an actress pour her heart and soul into an episode like she did. It is her portrayal that will leave you drained because it is so powerful. She will amaze you so much that you will get off the couch to give her a standing ovation when the episode ends. One that is very much deserved.
But tonight’s episode isn’t only about her, mostly, but not all. Pablo Schreiber proves that he is one to watch with or without a pornstache.
And if you have the energy to watch another Law & Order: SVU episode after this one, then NBC has one waiting to entertain you.
Before we get to SVU, Revolution is back on a new night and time. The episode picks up 6 months after the bombs went off and we see the toll it is taking on all of them. They each take it differently and Revolution is not the show we knew last season. It will be interesting to see how the changes will effect the drama because it is drastically different. I don’t want to say too much because a lot of what I could tell is very spoilerish and I am sure you don’t want that.

Syfy has a Fangasm and Chicago Fire is in trouble! |

Tonight at 10p on Syfy 7 geeks move into a house and compete for an internship with Stan Lee. That position is a Fangasm for these 7 roommates and they will do what they can to get that job. As they await to find out the answer, they will do different challenges to prove how big of a fan they are as they get rewards for proving their love for all things geekdom.
Tonight they try to get people to sign a petition for a National Geek Appreciation Day, and they forget one key element. Will that hurt them? You will have to tune into find out.
Then they compete for an opportunity to have dinner with the one and only George Takei. There is one guy who is such a big fan of Star Trek that he is willing to endure a lot of pain just for the chance to meet his idol. It is mind over matter, but will matter win?
What I like most about Fangasm is they picked people you can actually like. Other shows in this genre pick at least one person with anger issues and bitter, and that makes the show less enjoyable. On this one, they all get along and work together. Because of that I sincerely enjoyed it and I know you will too. And you are going to love Andrew, he looks the nerdiest one of them all and he’s the only one with a girlfriend. With in a few minutes of getting to know him, you will see why that is the case. Not saying that the other ones deserve to be single, but you are just going to adore everything about him.
Meanwhile over at NBC, Chicago Fire is back tonight at 10p and their house might not be around for much longer. Due to city cutbacks, Firehouse 51 is on the short list to be closed down. Even though their days might be number, they will be getting some firefighters from a recently closed house. That means things are going to be tight for them, like shared lockers and no overtime. They are not happy about these changes and that will force one of them to make a decision that can totally change things for everyone.
There is something about Chicago Fire that makes this show so much different than other shows about firefighters. It just as much about the fires as it is the relationships between them and because that you find yourself tuning in every week. This is a show that will be around long time just like Dick Wolf’s other shows that never seem to go away!

Chicago Fire is getting a new cast member tonight at 10p on NBC and she is going to be loved by everyone on the show! That because she is a mutt named Pouch and who doesn’t love man’s best friend?
Executive Producer Derek Haas, explained why they added the newest member to the show, “All firehouses have a million stories to tell about a firehouse dog, and we thought she would make a great addition.†Then he added what her role will be on the hot drama, “Pouch will literally grow up before our eyes. Plus, pets are great stress relievers, and firefighters and rescue squads are under tremendous pressure every day, so they will appreciate her presence as a working dog.†And the viewers will appreciate watching a dog work every week.
He also talked about the first time arftress getting used to acting. He said she is not that good at hitting her marks, but she good about leaving her mark. As in she has been leaving a few puddles on the floor. I am sure she will be a trained arftress before they know it and won’t be leaving a mess all over the place.
So tune into see the cutest cast member since Crystal the Monkey on Animal Practice, make her debut on Chicago Fire tonight. Seriously isn’t she arfdorable?
