Grimm is finally back on NBC tonight at 9p and the episode is stuff they write books about it. It feels like a whole season wrapped into an hour, it is that good.
Nick (David Giuntoli) finds out that his boss, Renard (Sasha Roiz), is the man that Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) is obsessed about and he doesn’t take it very well. Especially since he also figured out that the Captain knows he is a Grimm and he doesn’t know what Renard is. The two will finally have it out and that definitely changes things for the show.
But their confrontation happens only after Juliette and Renard finally act on their feelings and it is hot! So hot that recently I was on a conference call with Bitsie Tulloch and she told us about the scene that took 8 and a half hours to film, “It took so long because we had to have a stunt coordinator sort of help us out, particularly me.” The Sasha Roiz added, “It was intense. I mean I think it was definitely a shocker for us when we read it because we really didn’t believe it when we read it. We thought it was a bit of a joke. But they went there.” So to see how far they go, you will have just have to tune in. If that doesn’t get you to watch, then I don’t know what will.
Maybe if I tell you that Adalind (Claire Coffee) is out of jail? What trouble will she cause? But on a positive note, Rosalee (Bree Turner) is finally back. Will she finally be able to help Nick, Juliette and Rosalee? You will have tune into find out in an episode that is nonstop amazing from beginning to end.
Mockingbird Lane makes its one night only debut on NBC at 8p. If by some miracle millions and millions of people watch it, there is a chance the show can be picked up a series instead of being a (rumored) $10 million mistake.
Mockingbird Lane is a reboot of the classic sitcom The Munsters and this show has nothing to do with the original but the names of the characters and who they are are the same.
The show starts off with Eddie Munster (Mason Cook) on a scouting trip and a baby bear terrorizing the other scouts. His family hasn’t told him he is a werewolf, so they decide to move to keep his secret hidden. His cousin Marilyn (Charity Wakefield) is assigned the task to find the perfect house for them to live and she finds one with a past. So now the Munsters move to 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Grandpa (Eddie Izzard) needs blood, Herman (Jerry O’Connell) needs a new heart because the one Grandpa gave him is running out of beats and Lily (Portia De Rossi) needs to keep everyone together. The Munsters will now adjust to their new address and we have to adjust to the new version of them.
As I have said, this show is nothing like the original and it took me the whole episode to get over that fact. Like most people who will watch it, I gave it a chance because it was written by Bryan Fuller. The show definitely has his touch and for me that is just not enough to keep me interested past tonight. Charity Wakefield is the best part of Mockingbird Lane and I am sure she will find something really soon because of it. O’Connell’s Herman is nothing like Fred Gwynne’s, but he is still sweet, lovable and enjoyable to watch. Other than that the rest of the cast is OK just like the pilot.
While I can’t sing the praises for Mockingbird Lane, I will say that tonight’s Grimm at 9p is the show’s best to date. Nick and Hank are called in to investigate a missing boy. Before the boy was taken his fathered witnessed a woman walking into water crying. Fearing she was going to kill herself, he ran into the water to help her. Once he is in the water, he sees her walking away with his son and there is nothing he can to stop her.
Nick and Hank fear this might be Grimm related and they are right. The legend of La Llorona has come to Portland and now they have until midnight to stop her from taking two more kids. But she doesn’t only kidnap them on Halloween, she also kills them. She drowns them so that she can get her kids back. So the clock is ticking for them to find La Llorona and thankfully they will have help from Detective Valentina Espinoza (Kate del Castillo). She knows more about the mysterious woman who kidnaps and kills kids every year than everyone.
Will they be able to stop La Llorona or will we be getting a sequel next year? You have to tune into this suspenseful episode tonight to find out. The episode is not only airing on NBC tonight at 9p. It will be airing on Telemundo in Spanish at at 11p and in English at 12m on mun2.
And the episode is only about La Llorona, Monroe has the best haunted house you will see on TV this year. I so want to go trick or treating at his place because it is that awesome.
Jack and Grace, I mean Sean Hayes and Debra Messing are working together on a NBC show for the first time in 6 years and I am confused by what show it is for after seeing these pictures of their reunion. Hayes is the Executive Producer of Grimm who is guest starring on Messing’s show Smash, but the way she going after his neck it looks like she should be on his show instead of the other way around. Unless Smash is taking a much different direction this season since Vampires are so much hotter than singing shows on TV this year? Maybe they are modernizing Marilyn and we find out she really didn’t die in 1962 but instead was turned into a Vampire who works as her own impersonator who kills off her competition by bleeding them dry? Of course it is still a musical because you can’t go too far away from the original plot of the show. I’m in, are you?
Grimm is back for its second season tonight on NBC at 10p and it’s future is anything but grim! The show picks up where the first season left off and Nick gets to find out where his mom has been all of this time. Will she be able to teach him things his late aunt never got to? Juliette is now like sleeping beauty and remains in a coma after being scratched by Adalind’s cat. Monroe and Rosalee are working on a cure, and they are not the only ones. Someone shocking will try to come to her rescue. Will one of them be able to save her or will she be lost to Nick forever?
And besides all of that there are still people out to get the Grimms and Nick and Hank will have to try to catch them.
Grimm is back and it is so much better than its first season and their freshman year was pretty darn awesome!
Last week I attended the NBCUniversal Summer Press Day and Sean Hayes was there to talk about Grimm, one of the shows he is producing. I think that the NBC show that airs Fridays at 9p is so different than anything that he has done in the past, that I was curious if he is more like Hot in Cleveland (the show he also produces on TV Land) or if he is like Grimm. He said to me, “Of course I come from sitcom world. I always say ‘even if I had nothing to do with Grimm, this would be my favorite show on network television, my favorite drama on television. I just love everything about it.” The Will & Grace scene stealer added, “I grew up on Dr Who, Star Wars and I am a big Sci-Fi geek genre nerd. So a lot of people probably wouldn’t guess that about me, but I live for it. I absolutely live for it.” So does that mean that there are more Sci-Fi shows coming from Hazy Mills Productions? He told that they are a few shows in development, so we will have to wait and see.
Now many of us know Sean Hayes more from his acting career, so I wondered if since he has played two comedy legends if there is anyone else he would be interested in playing. You might remember that in 2002 he played Jerry Lewis in Martin and Lewis and currently you can see him as Larry Fine in The Three Stooges, so who else is there for him to recreate? He responded with, “You know anybody that challenges me. There are so many people I would want to play, so many roles.” He then shared something I didn’t see until he told me, “I’ve always been told, I look like the young version of a Frank Sinatra in a certain way. You know that famous mugshot he has. A writer friend of mine said they were walking down a street, saw it and said OMG they thought it was me. So it would be fun to play Frank Sinatra. It would be fun to play anybody, anybody that is unexpected.” So take a look at the picture below and see if you see the resemblance? I think it is uncanny how much he looks like him. So when they make another movie about Old Blue Eyes, I think we need to petition that Young Blue Eyes gets it. Sean Hayes for Frank Sinatra.
