Tonight’s Chicago Fire on NBC at 10p is such a thriller, there is a moment that will leave you breathless.
There is a credible threat against the city of Chicago, but there are many different targets throughout the Windy City. Law enforcement asks all the first responders to help out with the threat. Unfortunately for our Chicago Fire team they are sent to ground zero. A man starts shooting inside and outside the building where some of our firefighters and the paramedics are located. The shooter is going room to room and shooting anyone he finds.
Will our team get out alive or will the murderer be taken out before he gets the chance. You don’t want to miss a single second of this suspenseful well-done episode.
The Muppets are back tonight at 8p on ABC. Not only are the reworking the show from behind the scenes, they are also reworking them from in front of the camera. There is a new executive at the network and she wants to make some changes to Miss Piggy’s talk show. She wants to make it more like Jimmy Fallon and James Corden’s shows, so Kermit decides to get the other Muppets to be a part of it with different type of bits. It has potential but falls flat.
Not as flat as next week’s show when Miss Piggy has a wardrobe malfunction. Her pig tail gets exposed and people are in a uproar over it.
Kristin Newman took over the ranks of the show; and I know from her past work on That ’70s Show, The Neighbors and Galvant, she is better than this. So I am just going to assume that is more of Bill Prady’s doing than her’s since the show hasn’t changed as Bob Kushell left.
Sadly the adult Muppets are missing the joy that we got from the original series. Until they bring it back this show won’t be.
Then at 8:30p on Fresh Off the Boat, it is time for a show with lot of heart.
It’s the Chinese New Year and the Huangs are all excited to go back home to spend it with their family and friends. Only problem is that Louis (Randall Park) screwed up the dates and they missed their flight. Now they have to find a place to celebrate it in Orlando which is harder than they thought.
Will they find a place to spend the New Year or will they spend it alone? I don’t care as long as we get to spend it with them.
Back in the fall, NBC renewed Chicago Fire and Chicago PD for another season and today they added Chicago Med and Law & Order: SVU to their 2016-2017 schedule. Not only that, Dick Wolf will be staying with them until at 2020.
Just think a few years ago, all hope seemed lost for his shows with Law & Order: The Mother Ship ending. Then, SVU has a resurgence and Chicago Fire blew us all away, and now it looks he might have 5 shows on their lineup next season if they pick up Chicago Law!
Gotta love television, just when you think something is dead, it makes like the Phoenix and comes back to life like Stefano DiMera.

Tonight on NBC starting at 9p, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire, and concluding tomorrow at 10p with Chicago PD, all three dramas come together to solve a crime so heinous you have to see it to believe it.
The episode begins where Chicago Fire left off, and Herrmann (David Eigenberg) lying on the ground after being stabbed. Now, everyone is bonding together to save his life and find the person who stabbed him. While Cruz (Joe Minoso) tries to find his old buddy, Herrmann suffers complications from his injuries. Will he survive? And what will Cruz do when he comes face to face with the stabber?
If that is not enough for them to handle, the Chicago Fire guys are called out to a fire that is started by a woman who was trying to commit suicide. When they get her to Chicago Med, they find out she has been undergoing Chemo for cancer, only thing is she never had cancer and someone has been overdoing the Chemo. She isn’t the only patient that comes with that diagnosis and now Chicago PD is on the case to find out who is poisoning these women. What they find out will bring back a lot of bad memories for Hank (Jason Beghe) and make him more determined to find out who killed these women. Will they find their man before he kills again?
Tune for a three hour event that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

This news should come as no shocker, NBC announced today that they picked up Chicago Med for five more episodes. The third show is the Chicago franchise is the best medical drama since ER, so I am thrilled it is sticking around all season. At this rate, it will be back next year too, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
If you did not see this week’s episode, you need to stream it online or watch it OnDemand. They did a great job handling the question what if everyone carried a gun with them. It is a question many gun enthusiasts have asked, and this show brilliantly answered it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLb5j6_bd54 Chicago Med has proven to be a huge hit and tonight on NBC at 9p it is back with another stimulating episode. Oliver Platt plays Dr. Daniel Charles, the Chief of Psychiatry at Chicago Med, a role he researched before he starting filming the show. When I asked him how he prepared for the medical part of his role at the NBC TCA Summer Press Day, he told me, “I’ve been hanging out with the wonderful people at Columbia (University in New York).” Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, Lawrence C. Kolb Professor and Chairman, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; Director, New York State Psychiatric Institute; and Psychiatrist-in-Chief, Columbia University Medical Center of the New York Presbyterian Hospital, introduced to him several of his staff members. Due to the confidentiality issues, he explained what exactly they could teach him about their profession. He said, “What I’ve been doing is really talking to the doctors about how they do their job. Because of the nature of their work, you can’t go in there and watch them work, but they’ve been really very, very generous and forthcoming.”
Then he revealed why he made the effort, “It was really important to find out what a head psychiatrist is going to actually have, how much to do on a day-to-day hospital and the truth is, is that Jeff Lieberman sees patients.” Then he added, “And he works at a much bigger hospital than Chicago Med would be. So I’m not worried about it at all. I think there’s also going to be a little bit of sort of unofficial HR counseling going on too, I’ve been told, which is always interesting.”
Talking about HR, Dick Wolf, who created the show, called him and asked him if he was interested in the part. As soon as he described the character and the show, Platt didn’t need a lot of convincing to say yes. The only problem for the New Yorker is that the show is shot in Chicago. How did he feel about the move? He said, “I’ve always wanted to spend more time (there). Chicago’s an incredible city,” adding, “Chicago is the great American city.”
While the city is something new for him, playing a psychologist is not. In fact, he admitted that he has played that type of doctor a few times recently, but each was completely different. When I asked him if takes that as a sign, he jokingly responded with, “Yes. Somebody’s trying to tell me something.”
What is he trying to tell viewers? He said, “I’d like them to tune in and watch it.” So do just that tonight and every Tuesday at 9p on NBC.
