Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The Voice is back on NBC tonight at 8p without Adam Levine for the first time since the show debuted in 2011. How will it be without the Rocker? Tune in to find out.

Then at 10p, Jimmy Smits is back doing law on the other side of the country in Bluff City Law. Sydney Strait (Caitlin McGee) is a tough lawyer, something she gets from her dad. A man she no longer talks to and she really hates.

One day while she is at work, her father, Elijah (Smits), comes to visit her to tell her mom died. She runs home to be with him because she actually liked her mom. While she is home, her dad asks her to help him on a class action suit.

She agrees to do it. Within her first few hours, she comes up with a strategy to win the case. Even though she cannot stand her dad, they make a great team. They are going to do what they can to help their client win. Even if it means going to jail. Which they do.

At the end of the day, she realizes their style is good to help the little guy. While tonight’s episode is good, next week’s episode is a lot better. This legal drama has a promising future ahead of it. It is not your normal legal drama where the lawyers at the firm become like family. This one they really are family. A dysfunctional family, but a family all the same.

Next week’s episode was so good, it stuck with me. I would say the most out of all of the fall screeners thus far. It is that good. I think this show can be the sleeper hit of the year. That is if you tune in, so do it or you will go to jail like the Straits. You won’t, but it sounded like a good way to make you watch.

Today, NBC has finally revealed details about their streaming site including its name. It will be called…Peacock. Which makes sense. They also said that it will hit the world wide web at the end of July during the Summer Olympics.

Now that you know the name and when it will launch, what can we expect from it? Lots and lots of shows and movies. A lot of classic shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, House and The Office. Some rebooted ones like Punky Brewster, Saved By the Bell with Jesse (Elizabeth Berkley) and Slater (Mario Lopez) and Battlestar Galactica. There will also be new shows like Dr. Death starring Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater, Brave New World with Demi Moore and comedy Rutherford Falls with Ed Helms. Late Night with Seth Meyers’ Amber Ruffin is getting a weekly late night show. As if there were not enough Real Housewives shows, Peacock will be getting a spinoff.

When it comes to movies, Psych the Movie 2 will premiere on Peacock and not USA Network. We better get a revival of the series as compensation. Along with big screen movies like the Fast and the Furious franchise, The Breakfast Club, Mamma Mia, Jaws and Back to the Future.

That is a lot of streaming! How much will it cost? They will announce that closer to the premiere date. Now is when you start negotiating with your friends. You say to them if you give me a password to Netflix, I will give you one for Peacock. Then you do the same with another friend for Disney+ and/or Hulu.

Forget cutting the cord, we are going to have to stop paying all the streaming sites. We can no longer say there is nothing on because there is always something to watch somewhere.

Back in May, NBC announced that they cancelled AP Bio. Well, you didn’t have to take AP classes to know that many people did not think that was a smart idea.

Today, they admitted their mistake and said that they picked up the show for a third season. However not for the network. The Hollywood Reporter says that it will be streaming on their new app that launches next year.

Since this is a Lorne Michaels’ show, I have a feeling he will be producing a lot more shows for them.

In three months and a week, the fall television season begins. Get your calendars ready because NBC announced when This Is Us and the other shows will be back. While you are all about the Pearsons, I am all about the show that airs after it. Even though New Amsterdam’s cliffhanger was so not in character with the medical drama, I cannot wait to see what happens next. It remained my favorite new show of the season. This season I am starting it off with Perfect Harmony taking that title. I am a sucker for anything with music. What NBC shows are you looking forward to?

Earlier this month, the networks announced which shows would be back and which ones would not be. NBC revealed their schedule for the fall but said that they had not made up their minds about four of the scripted midseason shows.

Last week, they told AP Bio they were expelled. Today, The Village was evicted, Abby’s was shut down for code violations and Enemy Within was given the death penalty.

The show I am most upset about is The Village. It was a show about a building where the residents all became a makeshift family. They are there for the good times and the bad ones. I think if this was the ’90s, it would have gotten a second season, but not in 2019. It is the perfect show to binge on a streaming site on a cold rainy day in front of a fireplace. Maybe someone will agree with me and save it from being homeless.
