Major Crimes is back on TNT’s case at 9p and it is going to be a good season. The first case deals with the death of Hollywood producer’s wife and he is the leading suspect. Doesn’t help that his first show was a reality one about looking into criminal cases. So did he learn something from that show or is someone setting him up?
But tonight’s episode isn’t only about solving that crime, Rusty Beck is being prepped for his testimony and the new case worker doesn’t think he should be living with Capt. Sharon Raydor. Will he be taken away from her? You will have to tune in to find out.
Then at 10p King & Maxwell debuts and you are going to love this fast-paced, fun private eye buddy show! Sean King (Jon Tenney) and Michelle Maxwell (Rebecca Romijn) are two ex-Secret Service agents who are now working as private eyes. Both of them were let go for two very different reasons and it explains why they are the way they are. They get things done in their own special style and that will get them in trouble the people who do things by the book.
Maxwell & King is unlike other procedurals because it is so fast paced and you never know what is going to happen next. Plus their chemistry is what makes the show. As of now their characters are not sexually involved, but I totally want them to hook up because that is how great they play off of each other.
So tune in for a procedural that is original and enjoyable tonight and every Monday at 10p on TNT!
At 8p The Hero debuts on TNT and you don’t want to miss the show. Nine people compete to be The Hero and to win $1,000,000. If you are going to win that amount of money than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is going to make you work for it. Tonight some of the contestants will dangle from the roof one of the tallest buildings in Panama with just a rope and they will have to swing towards each other until they are holding hands. If that doesn’t make you poop in your pants, then I don’t know what will. And that is just one of the many grueling challenges they will face. But there is more than the physical challenges there are the mental ones too. The jackpot starts at 0 and every time they win, that money will go in to the pot. But the contestants can decide to keep that money for themselves lowering the final value. Would a true hero take that temptation or would he or she share the money? You will have to tune in to find out.
Then at 9p we travel to 72 Hours. Each week 3 teams of 3 strangers will be dropped down into a remote area for three days all to find a suitcase full of $100,000. The 9 people will only be given single bottle of water and a GPS tracking device as their guide and they will have to do the rest. They will trek through some of the toughest terrain and if they are the first team to find the winning suitcase, then they are $100,000 richer and a whole lot stronger. 72 Hours is a beautifully shot show that a mix of Survivor and Amazing Race. Why go outside on a hot summer night when you can just watch this show instead.
So when I started watching the trailer for TNT’s upcoming show The Last Ship, I thought the Michael Bay drama looked just like the failed Last Resort. But then as it went on, I was blown away by how good the show based on a book with Eric Dane looks. Granted I love anything that is about virus outbreaks, so the show had me from that moment on. I just hate that we have to wait until 2014 to see the first 10 episodes of the series. My prediction is that TNT will pair this show with Dallas as they try to build up their winter slate.
You would think that Josh Henderson would be used to seeing a lot money because he plays J.R.’s son on Dallas, but I guess not! Looking at this picture that he Tweeted, you can tell he goes coo coo for the green stuff. So what he is doing with all of that money? Well he hashtagged he’s going to #takethemoneyandrun, but I doubt that he will take all that money he found on the set of his upcoming movie Swelter. Although he eyes are making me think some, if not most, of it will be missing from the pile.
Tonight at 10p on TBS Donald Faison is hosting a new camera prank show from the creators of Punk’d. The show is called Who Get the Last Laugh? and the answer is you do. Unlike Ashton Kutcher’s original show it isn’t the celebrities who are getting punked but this time they will be punking everyday unsuspecting people.
Each week 3 comedians like Andy Dick, Tom Green, D.L. Hughley, Kunal Nayyar, Chris Kattan, Danny Masterson, Bill Bellamy, Charlie Murphy, Cheri Oteri and Alan Thicke will stay in truck as they direct unknown actors to play pranks on everyday people. The actors/comedians pull pranks like covering a car full of sh!t, a package with $100,000 goes missing, someone drives away with the wrong automobile from a car wash as the stunned owner talks to the person who took their car and telling a customer that he is paying to the fill the gas tank of a stranger’s motor home and that is just a few of the funny pranks they will be playing. Each one of these jokes will have you falling out of your chair because you are laughing so hard. As fun as it is to watch the prankers’ reaction to it all, it is even funnier to watch the pranked people lose it during the show. Some will handle it a lot better than others.
This show isn’t only about giving us humor, it is about giving back. At the end of each episode the audience votes for who did the best prank, and the winner gets $10,000 to give to their favorite charity. So even though the show is doing bad, it is also doing good.
And that is what Faison want us to take away from the show? Here is what said on a conference call last week, “I just hope they laugh, that’s what this is all about. This is about making people laugh and hoping that everybody, you know, tunes in to laugh, because that’s what you’re going to do.” Then he added, “This is about giving back to charities and making people laugh. So, yeah that’s what I hope everybody gets out of this.”
