For weeks we have heard that Sylvester Stallone was going to be on This Is Us, and tonight on NBC at 9p he makes his debut. Let me tell you he is completely lovable on this episode and it will make you want to be friends with him!
But before we get to that, Kevin (Justin Hartley) brings Kate (Chrissy Metz) to the set of his new movie and they meet Mr Stallone. While Kevin works on his lines, Kate talks to Sylvester Stallone and reveals what a fan their dad is of his movies. That causes the actor to bond with her. When it is time to film, Stallone brings that up to Kevin and it throws him off. Now Kevin and Kate are fighting.
While the twins are fighting, 40-somethings Jack (Milo Ventimilgia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) are trying to make love. She wants to get things back to where they were before that night. Will that happen?
Then Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) finally get a foster child, who is more like a teen. She is not that they wanted and they are not what she wanted. Will they send her back?
It is another emotional ride on This Is Us tonight and that is why we love this drama more and more every week.

Also at 9p, but on Fox is The Mick. Sabrina’s (Sofia Black-D’Elia) mom (Tricia O’Kelley) is trying to get in touch with her daughter, but she keeps ignoring the calls. So Mickey (Kaitlin Olson) takes the family for a day trip to the prison where their parents are. Sabrina and Mickey go to visit Poodle. While Chip (Thomas Barbusca) and Ben (Jack Stanton) go with Jimmy (Scott MacArthur) to visit their dad (Laird Macintosh). Prison has not been good to him and Chip wants to fix things. Meanwhile, Poodle wants to fix things with her daughter, but Mickey is the one who wants things to be fixed between her sister and her.
What happens next, is something you will only see on The Mick. Therefore be prepared to laugh at things you should not. That and to declare that Jack Stanton is the cutest kid on television!
Before Kaitlin Olson really should not be raising her niece and nephews on The Mick, she was helping to raise other people’s kids as an Assistant Vice Principal on The George Lopez Show. She is just as funny now as she was when she was 29 in that 2004 episode.
Before Kaitlin Olson was unemployed schemer on The Mick, she was the boss on The Drew Carey Show. She looks the same now as she did when she was 27 in that 2002 episode and just as funny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiHY1nhYjs4 The Mick is back for its second season tonight on Fox at 9p and it is even funnier this time around. The episode start offs shortly after the season finale left off and they have been living at a ritzy hotel since their huge mansion burnt down.
While the older kids, Sabrina (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and Chip (Thomas Barbusca) have been living the life of luxury, Mickey (Kaitlin Olson), Alba (Carla Jimenez) and the youngest sibling, Ben (Jack Stanton) have been sharing a hotel room. Things seem like they are still going well for them until their money manager forces them to move out of their 5 star hotel and into a Motel 6. Needless to say they do not like it and come up with a plan to bribe the money man to get back into their luxurious hotel.
If you are a fan of the show, then you know it will be beyond belief how far they will go to get their way. Let’s just say sink to their lowest yet. So will it work? You will just have to tune in for a family comedy that is not necessarily family friendly.

Then at 10p but over on NBC, is another television show about rich spoiled kids. This time it is the Menendez Brothers who killed their parents back in 1989 and tried to get away with murder.
Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Brothers starts off with Erik (Gus Halper) and Lyle (Miles Gaston Villanueva) calling the police to tell them that their parents have been shot. Then the show moves forward from there covering their arrest and court case along with some flashbacks into why the brothers killed their parents.
Here is my deal with the show, it does not need to be done as a anthology series. The case and their story is not interesting enough for 8-1 hour episodes. It works as a 2-hour telemovie and I have seen them all, and that is it. Anything after that, is overkill. OJ Simpson worked because, it played out over a long time and we as a nation lived it every day. But not many of these cases warrant more than a telemovie. I do not think that the Andrew Cunanan story for FX is going to work because that barely played out over a week and it is barely a blip in history. They need to do stories like the Son of Sam, Charles Manson and Jack Kevorkian. Stories that we still care about that took hold of the public for months if not years. If NBC really wanted to make The Menedez Brothers work, they needed to start with their family life and midway through get to the murders. Otherwise, it is a been there, seen that. Because we have. And Lifetime just did a movie about them that told me as much as the first 2 episodes of this show do.
I like anthologies, but they need to be cases that need to be told in 8 hours because 2 is just not enough. Plus, it needs to be stories we want to know more about like Ted Bundy, Scott Peterson or Jodi Arias. What do you think?

If you are looking for a sweet family comedy, then The Mick is not for you. If you love to laugh, then Fox comedy that debuts tonight 8p is for you.
Down on her luck Mackenzie (Kaitlin Olson) finally decides to visit her filthy rich sister, who is holding one of her very ritzy parties. Just as the two are reconnecting, the FBI swoops in and arrest Mick’s sister and brother-in-law. Her sister asks Mick to take care of her three kids while she’s in jail and will pay her for her trouble.
The oldest Sabrina (Sofia Black D’Elia) is the spoiled teenage b!tch who mistakenly thinks she can one up her Aunt. The two will go to head to head a lot and it is shocking either one survives their battles. There will be at least one death as a consequence and it will leave you whowling!
Then there is Chip (Thomas Barbusca) who is a snobby teen that everyone hates. He thinks money can get him out of all types of trouble, it cannot. That won’t stop him from trying.
Finally, there is gullible and lovable Ben (Jack Stanton) and the 6 year old always finds trouble wherever he goes. He doesn’t mean to, it just has a way of finding him.
Tonight Mick gets to know her niece and nephews and they get to know her. Which means they will all hate each other as families do. But when their parents decide to flee the Country, they have no choice but to become a family. Just like one, they won’t listen to each other.
Thankfully they have Alba (Carla Jimenez) the Maid to clean up their messes. Not only that, she nails every scene she is. She is the biggest scene stealer in this sitcom that is full of scene stealers!
You will be loving this show so much, that you will be saying, “C U Next Tuesday,” every week until the next episode airs again at 8:30p the following Tuesday!
