What if you had just 34 days to live, what would you do? That is what You, Me & The Apocalypse starts asking tonight on NBC at 8p with some quirky but lovable characters.
Jamie Winton (Mathew Baynton), has been having a string of bad luck, and getting news that the world is ending in a month makes things even worse for him. Especially, when his mother (Pauline Quirke) tells him that he was adopted. Even though there is comet crashing towards Earth, Jamie recruits his best friend Dave Bosley (Joel Fry), to help find his real mom. What she reveals to him will show him that he plays a big part in the end of the world.
Then there is Rhonda MacNeil (Jenna Fischer) who just began a prison sentence for a crime her son committed. When the news that apocalypse is coming, all the inmates at the New Mexico prison are released. She along with White Supremacist Leanne (Megan Mullally) use their newfound freedom to find her son because there are people who want to kill him.
Finally there is Father Jude (Rob Lowe) who works as the Devil’s Advocate for the Vatican. He along with the newly hired Sister Celine (Gaia Scodellaro) are going to spend their last few days trying to find the Savior and the Antichrist.
A lot is going to happen in 34 days for these people to make their paths cross and you don’t want to miss a single second of it.
So what happens on the 34th day? Here is a little hint from the show’s creator Iain Hollands. When he was asked on a conference call last week if there could be a second season, he said, “I’m trying to think how to answer that without giving anything away. But there’s definitely a possibility for it to return. And there’s a plan for that to happen. But it’s difficult for me to answer your question without a massive spoiler alert. So just to say that the end of the final episode isn’t necessarily the end.” Things that make you want to watch the show even more.

Jennifer Lopez plays Harlee Santos a NYC Detective, who is unwillingly recruited by the FBI as an informant to bust her boss and friend, on Shades of Blue. Tonight at 10p on NBC, Lt. Matt Wozniak (Ray Liotta) suspects that there is a rat in his crew and he wants to kill it. Does he suspect Harlee? How long can she keep her secret from him?
Lopez has done several movies and she has been judging American Idol for a few seasons now, so was it hard for her to commit to the police procedural? Yesterday at NBC’s TCA Press Days she answered that question. She said, “To be honest, for me, right now in television it’s like the best movies are on television. The characters are better. The stories like you say, it has more of an opportunity to kind of really explore something.” Then she added, “It was just a really exciting opportunity to do something that I hadn’t done in a while in a different way than I had done in a long time. For me, the script itself, the story itself, the idea of it from the very first time I spoke about it with my producing partner Elaine Goldsmith Thomas, I knew that there was something that could go on. It just had enough of a base to kind of really grow and grow and grow into something that never hopefully, never gets boring.”
Something that never gets boring for is working out, yet she opted not to do it as much while filming the drama. She explained why, “I felt like this character was a little different than maybe who I am in my real life where I’m always kind of having to stay fit and worried about my appearance, and Harlee is not like that.” Although, she admitted, “I did do the boxing.”
That wasn’t the only thing she didn’t so as much of for this role. She revealed, “I wear more makeup to bed.” Her reason for these changes, “I think it had to be a little bit more real than that, like more real life. People get to the gym, but not like people like me have to.”
So tune in to see J-Lo wear less makeup and be less buff. That and a compelling crime drama that will have you on the edge of your seat every week.
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the people who brought the Broadway version of Hairspray to the big screen are now going to bring it to the small screen. NBC’s Entertainment President Bob Greenblatt announced today at the NBC TCA Press Day that it looks like Hairspray will be the live musical this December. They haven’t closed the deal yet, but it is very very close.
As soon as it becomes official, I am wishing and hoping that they announce that David Hasselhoff is cast as Edna Turnblad. A role originated by Divine and later played by John Travolta. How amazing would that be? When it comes to Edna’s husband, I am wishing and hoping they don’t have Christopher Walken reprise role after his performance in Peter Pan. Scratch that, let’s hope they bring him back for his second live NBC musical along with Queen Latifah, who just appeared in The Wiz. Why is December 11 months away?

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.
