Tuesday night’s highest rated show NCIS is getting its first spinoff tonight on CBS at 9p called NCIS: Los Angeles. Just like the original they will be solving Naval crimes, but unlike the show that airs at 8p it takes place in Los Angeles and stars Chris O’Donnell and LL Cool J. As soon as you see these two on the screen together, you can tell that they have awesome chemistry. And that chemistry plays well as they try to solve their first case back together after Chris O’Donnell’s character G returns to his job after being shot 6 months beforehand. Their first case is full of twists and turns with an ending you will never see coming. I was watching the whole episode on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it would all play out and I can’t wait for next week’s case because tonight’s was so good. I think this show along with the original are going to make CBS a dynamo on Tuesday nights.
BTW I have to admit as good as LL and Chris are on the show, my favorite character is Hetty played by the remarkable Linda Hunt. She is one tough cookie I would hate to have as my office manager, but I love watching her on NCIS: Los Angeles.
After NCIS: Los Angeles, The Good Wife premieres on CBS at 10p. I have to admit when I got the screener for this show I wanted to hate it because I am not a fan of Juliana Margulies, but I actually liked it. The show starts off with Juliana playing a politician’s wife whose husband was caught with his pants down…literally. Being The Good Wife she stands by her man, but with him going to jail she need to step up and become the man in the house. She takes a job as a lawyer at an old colleague’s firm after being a stay-at-home mom for all the years she supported her husband’s career, and it is not going to be an easy transition for her. Her cases are tough, but she is good at what she does and she will get through the day as a lawyer and a mom! Besides dealing with the hard pro-bono cases, she is also competing with I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell’s Matt Czuchry for a position at the company and he really wants the job and will doing anything to get it!
So if you are looking for a Good show to watch at 10p on Tuesday The Good Wife is for you!
