BWTF: Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Pop-Tarts

Before Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the adult on Third Rock from the Sun, he already assumed that role in a Pop-Tarts commercial. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 1991 commercial?

Young Sheldon, Ghosts, and So Help Me Todd are back with enjoyable episodes

We have not had new episodes of Young Sheldon, Ghosts, and So Help Me Todd, since May. And they are finally back on CBS tonight.

The night starts with Young Sheldon at 8p, and it picks up right after the tornado hits Medford. MeeMaw (Annie Potts) saw that her house was destroyed, and that means she, her future daughter-in-law Mandy (Emily Osment), and her granddaughter have nowhere to live.

Well, they do. They can stay across the street at her daughter’s house. Luckily, there is a little more room there because Mary (Zoe Perry) and Sheldon (Iain Armitage) are in Germany so that he can study at one of their colleges. When Mary finds out about the tornado, she wants to fly home, but Sheldon is insistent they stay. So they do.

Back in Medford, Missy (Raegan Revord) is in charge. Even though she is the youngest person, minus the baby, in the household, she is the most mature. She takes over and keeps the house in order. And they are going to need it while her mother is overseas.

It is not like her father (Lance Barber) or her older brother (Montana Jordan) are up for the job. And they are happy to let her do the job.

Even though their World has been turned upside down, the Coopers have their stuff together.

And they also bring so much laughter and so much heart. It makes me sad that this is the series last season. Enjoy it while you can.

Then at 8:30p, we finally find out who was sucked up on Ghosts! And it has been tortorous waiting this long.

So, who will Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) and Sam (Rose McIver) find out who has moved on? Is it Thor (Devan Chandler), Sass (Román Zaragoza), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Nigel (John Hartman), Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), Flower (Sheila Carrasco), Pete (Richie Moriarty), or Trevor (Asher Grodman)?

I am not going to tell you who it is. But I will tell you that despite several ghosts making guest appearances, it is one of the souls I mentioned above.

It is not who I thought it was. But their departure makes sense.

Even though we are losing someone we love, Ghosts still delivers a heartfelt episode that you just want to hug.

I didn’t realize how much I missed this sitcom until I watched the season 3 premiere. I am so happy it is back! Never leave me for that long again.

Then at 9p, So Help Me Todd is back with its best episode to date.

Now that Todd (Skylar Astin) is a licensed Private Investigator again, he has set up shop in his mother’s law firm.

Margaret (Marcia Gay Harden), who has just been promoted to partner, is not going to allow him to do that. If he wants to use their offices, he has to work only for her. But, more on that later.

As soon as Margeret walks into the office, she is assigned her first job as partner. And that task is to lay off some of the staff because they have lost several accounts and need the money.

She doesn’t want to do that, so she takes on the case of a morning anchor (Lisa Rinna) who is accused of killing her co-anchor live on the air.

Together, the mom and son are going to try to find out who really did it. And it is a good thing that Todd put out feelers because the person who might know more about the murder wants to hire him to clear his name.

What does he know? And is he the person they need to solve the case?

And if that is not enough. Margaret has to deal with the fact that her husband, who ran away to Iceland without telling her he was going, is back, just when she found a new man to be in her life.

It is a lot. But this show is a fun roller coaster ride you don’t want to get off of. It is a fast-moving, entertaining show that leaves you guessing until the final reveal. Plus, the characters play off of each other so well that you tune in to watch their chemistry like you did Laurel & Hardy.

Chicken Nugget proves that Koreans make better TV shows
February 15th, 2024 under Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

What is the most original American program you have seen on TV recently? I can’t think of any. They are either first responder procedurals, reality shows, family sitcoms, remakes, or dramedies. So the same old, with different casts and backgrounds.

Well, Korea got us beat with Chicken Nugget. A bizarre comic-mystery drama, the series takes you on a rollercoaster ride with Sun-man (Ryu Seung-ryong) as he navigates an absurd mission: To rescue his daughter, Min-ah (Kim You-jung), who has turned into a chicken nugget after a mishap with a strange machine. Along for the wild ride is Baek-joong (Ahn Jae-hong), who has a secret crush on Min-ah.

How brilliant is that? I bet the studio heads are kicking themselves in the chopsticks for not coming up with something like this. So I am sure they will copy the concept, and turn the sweet and sour chicken nugget a Buffalo Wing.

But, first, they have to watch it on Netflix with us starting on March 15th.

I am going to be watching. Are you going to sit down at the dining table with me?

Chris Hemsworth shows us how fish babies are made
February 15th, 2024 under Chris and Liam Hemsworth. [ Comments: none ]

My parents taught me about the birds and the bees, and TV taught me the rest. Or so I thought it did.

It turns out I didn’t. Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, just showed us “how babies are made in Australia.” He explained, “It’s both a game of passion, love and intense sportsmanship where everyone one’s a winner.”

And with that, I just booked a trip to the land Down Under so that man can satisfy my down under.

Evil is going to meet its end
February 15th, 2024 under Paramount+. [ Comments: none ]

Evil is a show that has been as cursed as its storyline. It debuted on CBS, got cancelled, picked up by Paramount+, and then it got delayed by both the pandemic and the strikes.

And now, it has finally met its match. That is because the streaming service announced today that this season will be the supernatural drama’s final one.

“Robert and Michelle King created a unique and deeply entertaining way of exploring the intersection of religion and science,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. “We thank Robert, Michelle and the immensely talented cast and crew of EVIL and are incredibly proud of their collective work on the series. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for these characters, in what is sure to be a nail-biting, wild ride of a final season.”

The fourth season premiers in May. And I can’t wait to see how it ends.
