The CW announced today that Bump will be replaced by Whose Line Is It Anyways on Mondays, and on Saturdays, Masters of Illusion will replace Recipe for Disaster.
I don’t know anything about Recipe for Disaster, but I did watch Bump. The news is not a surprise because it was getting 0.0 in the key demo in the ratings. So, the cancellation was inevitable.
Personally, I loved the first season of the Australian drama about a teenager raising her surprise baby and still going to high school, but the second season not so much. In fact, after this week’s episode, I said I was done. It lost the charm it had.
Tonight at 8p, Family Law tackles the different stages of love, both in their personal lives and in their professional ones.
Now that Daniel (Zach Smadu) is a member of the 40 Under 40 club, he is ready to start dating again. So he is going to go on a dating app to meet his Mrs. Right. And just because what she writes sounds perfect doesn’t mean she is.
Daniel’s dad, Harry (Victor Garber), takes on a case of betrothed online influencers who are working out a prenup. They are having problems coming eye to eye on their demands, and that might end their relationship.
Meanwhile, Daniel and his sister, Abby (Jewel Staite), are hired by a mail-order bride who is trying to save her 2-month marriage so that she can stay in the country. Just when they think that they have found a way to stop the annulment, the judge rules against them. Will they be able to keep her in the country?
Daniel and Abby’s sister, Lucy (Genelle Williams), is not ready to see her marriage end. But she might get the realization that there is nothing she can do to get back with her ex.
And then there is Abby and her husband, Frank (Luke Camilleri), or should I say, ex-husband. Now that they agreed to get a divorce, it is time for them to tell their children the news. How will they react?
Like I said, they go through all the spectrums of relationships in this episode, which makes us ponder what is love and why do we fight for it.
I know because it gives you a family. If Harry didn’t sleep around, then Abby wouldn’t have a brother and sister to help her through this difficult time in her life. And they wouldn’t have her.
And that is what I adore about this legal drama. At the end of the day, it is about a family who works in a law firm. And they have each others’ backs in the courtroom, in the office, and at home.
I can’t say this enough. I love Canadian television! So I am loving that The CW is importing their shows. Tonight at 8p, we get to watch two of their comedies, Son of a Critch and Children Ruin Everything.
Son of a Critch starts the night off at 8p with two episodes and throws it back to the ’80s. Mark Critch (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) is getting ready to go to school for the first time, and it is middle school. He grew up in a small town, and there were no kids on his block. Not only that, he shares his room with his 80-year-old grandfather (Malcolm McDowell). So he is an old soul because he had no other choice but to be one.
As soon as he gets on the bus, the kids are all ready to make fun of him. And they do. They even continue to do so when he is in class. Luckily, there is another new kid, and the two of them become friends. He finally makes a friend who is his own age. And not his grandfather’s.
At home, he has his mom (Claire Rankin), who loves to gossip, but she is also supportive. His dad (Mark Critch) works on the local radio station. And then there is his cool older brother (Colton Gobbo), who doesn’t do much to help him.
But somehow, he will make it through the day. But it won’t be easy for him. Then again, was middle school easy for anyone?
What is easy is watching this sweet show with a bitching soundtrack.
This is the perfect series to watch as a family because it has a character for everyone.
Then at 9p, it is time to see how Children Ruin Everything.
Did you know that people without kids are happier than the ones who have them? That is what Astrid (Meaghan Rath), a former data analyst and now stay-at-home mom, tells us and then shows us.
Astrid and her husband, James (Aaron Abrams), have two young children. First, they welcomed Felix (Logan Nicholson) 7 years ago, and then three years later, they had his sister, Viv (Mikayla SwamiNathan).
They were used to having fun, but those days are long over because children ruin everything. But do they? As boring and chaotic as their lives are, there are a lot of good things to say about having kids.
This show has a unique way of showing that there are positives and negatives of having children. And we need more of that. Because that is reality, and it is funny to watch.
We are just hours away from finding out if the actors are going to go on strike. But the new CW is going full steam ahead with their Fall schedule. So today, they announced when their shows will premiere!

9:30-10:00PM WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? (Original Episode)
I know people are upset that The CW is importing shows from other countries. But I love the Canadian imports.
Tonight at 8p, we get the second season premiere of Family Law, and then at 9p, get ready for the series premiere of Moonshine.
Family Law starts off shortly after the season finale, and Abby (Jewel Staite) is still trying to remain sober. Something that got harder to do after she saw her estranged husband with another woman. Is her marriage over?
Her sister Lucy’s (Genelle Williams) relationship is over. So she moves in with Abby and her mom, Joanne (Lauren Holly), because she has nowhere else to go. How will Joanne react to having her ex-husband’s (Victor Garber) mistress’ daughter staying with her?
It is not all bad for the half-siblings. Daniel (Zach Smadu) is excited that he is finally a partner in his dad’s firm. Too bad he is the only one.
However, they don’t have a lot of time to focus on their personal lives because there is work that needs to be done. A woman comes into the firm, convinced that her late husband is still alive. What happens when they find that he is alive and living a new life with another woman? He claims he doesn’t remember his past life. But is he lying? That is what the siblings are going to have to find out.
They might’ve grown up in different households and didn’t know each other. But together, they are a great team.
And because of that, Family Law is an enjoyable show. I am going to say it, and I am not being unpatriotic, but Canada does better legal and medical dramas than the US. There I said it!

Then at 9p, get ready to meet the Finley-Cullen clan on Moonshine.
Lidia grew up in the quiet Nova Scotian town of Moonshine. However, she moved away for college and never came back.
However, she is going home because her aunt died. So she is bringing her husband (real-life hubby Jonathan Silverman) and their kids, Finn (Calem MacDonald) and Elanor (Celia Owen), with her. There are a lot of reasons why she left, and her dysfunctional family is a big reason.
Her parents, Ken (Peter MacNeill) and Bea (Corrine Koslo) run a bed and breakfast. They are getting older, and Bea is not in the best of health. Ken is ready to slow down, but Bea isn’t.
Will things change during the will reading when everyone finds out Lidia was left 43% of the shares?
She is thinking of giving her troubled siblings her shares. But then something happens, and she decides to stay back in Moonshine.
What she doesn’t know could hurt her? Her siblings are in more trouble than she could ever imagine. They don’t think she should have any part of the business and will destroy her to get what they want. And then there are all these mysteries going on that she doesn’t know about.
More importantly, we don’t know about. So that is going to keep us tuning in to find out what they are and how it will affect this family.
