The Masked Singer became the latest television phenomenon last week. We enjoy trying to figure out who is that famous person singing under those full body costumes. We cannot see who they are, so it is only fair that they should understand how we feel. Right?
Well, Fox heard the call we didn’t make and had them take part in the #BirdBoxChallenge. How did they do trying different tasks blindfolded? Better than the Pineapple did with singing. Hey at least he ended on a high note.

Tonight at 9p, The Masked Singer will grace the airwaves on Fox. It is the strangest singing competition you have ever seen. Yet it is actually really enjoyable.
It is not full of people vying for a record contract. It is not celebrities singing as other singers. It is not celebrities trying to pretend they can sing when they can’t. It is twelve celebrities in full-body costumes and we have to guess who they are. They are Grammy winners, Emmy winners and pro-athletes. That is all we know about them.
Each week they will compete and we get a new clue to who they are under all of that fabric that covers their bodies from head to toe. They will perform, in groups of 2, a song in front of a live audience and panelists, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke, and host Nick Cannon. After they are done, the panelists will ask them some questions to see if maybe they can guess what is their identity.
After each group of 2 performs, the audience and the panelists decide who they want to keep around. At the end of the night, the bottom person of each group will face another vote and the lowest scoring person goes home. This will keep on going until there is one.
Fox is so secretive about who is on the show, that they even blurred and bleeped out the losing contestants face and name on the two screener episodes they sent out. Thus, I don’t even know who they are. I think the person eliminated next week might be Tracy Morgan, but who knows, it can be anyone.
Although, wait until you hear the A-list celebrities they think are under the suits. They actually believe that Barack Obama might be one of the singers. Seriously, that is what he is going to do with his spare time? I think I am more on point when I tell you I think that La Toya Jackson is one of the competitors. That makes more sense, right?
Like I said, this is a show unlike any other. It so out there, that is truly enjoyable. It is like what did I smoke and can I have more of it. Who doesn’t need more of that these days?
The night starts off with Kyle (Christoph Sanders) being fired from his job in personnel. Mike (Tim Allen) does not want his son in law to be out of work, so he gives him a job in human resources.
Before he does that, he asks his daughter, Mandy (Molly McCook) about it. She tells her dad that Kyle is not very confident and losing another job might break him.
Therefore, Mike will do everything he can to make sure he does not fail. Which might be hard to do because the first thing Kyle has to deal with at his new job is handle a complaint brought against Mike by Chuck (Jonathan Adams) and Joe (Jay Leno). I don’t think Mike will like that? Do you?

Then at 8:30p on The Cool Kids, Hank (David Alan Grier) is dating a much younger woman and Margaret (Vicki Lawrence) thinks the 45-year-old is only after his money. Causing a big rift between the two friends.
Margaret recruits Sid (Leslie Jordan) and Chuck (Martin Mull) to expose his girlfriend’s true intentions. What could possibly go wrong? Oh wait, all of their schemes get them into trouble and tonight is no different.
If you are not watching this show, then you are missing out on comedy that makes you laugh until you need Depends!

Then at 9p, it is time for Gordon Ramsay’s daughter’s Sweet Sixteen. Tilly decides to have it at Hell’s Kitchen.
The chefs are tasked with coming up with the items that will be on the menu. They make her different choices to choose from and she will decide what will be made for the party.
Once the menu is place, it is time for one team to celebrate and the other one to set up for the party. Tilly asks her dad for one thing and that is to be on his best behavior.
What do you think is more likely to happen? Both teams will have a perfect service or Ramsay not losing his temper? You will just have to watch to find out.
Tonight at 8p on Fox, it is time for The Resident’s fall season finale. Oh boy, what an episode it is.
Conrad’s (Matt Czuchry) dad (Glenn Morshower) is rushed to the hospital after he passes out from pain and it will force the father and son to have some serious talks. Like what his dad wants to do in case of an emergency and what really happened when his parents split. Conrad will learn something about his dad he never knew. Will it change how he feels about him?
It is Devon’s (Manish Dayal) wedding day and he meets with Julian (Jenna Dewan) before the nuptials. As he is trying to tell he has feelings for her, she shuts him down. That is because she has decided to blow the whistle on her medical supply company, report them to the FDA and leave to an undisclosed location. What happens when she tells her boss that she knows what he has been doing is illegal and kill patients? Let’s just say, he is not going to let her go without a fight.
That is not the only fight, Devon has to fight his feelings to decide if he wants to get married. And there is yet one more fight going on. But I cannot tell you that.
You don’t want to miss this episode because so much happens that moves the show forward. Plus, it is really entertaining and let’s be honest. That is what is really important.
This Halloween is the first one for Kristen Schaal as a mom. That means she gets to dress her daughter, Ruby, up for the holiday.
Did she go with a pumpkin or a sunflower like most new parents? Nope! Instead, she dressed the 8-month-old up as Louise from Bob’s Burgers. Translation, as herself. Not only that, her husband, Rich Blomquist, dressed up as her TV father Bob. I will try not to get creeped out by that.
Anyways, moving past that, how cute is this Etsy costume?
