Tonight at 8:30p
The Millers makes its debut and it’s the perfect show for CBS’s Thursday lineup. When I first watched the sitcom, I didn’t like it. Then I watched it again today and found myself laughing out loud several times. In fact, I will openly admit that the show has officially won me over.
Jack (Will Arnett) gets a call that his parents are coming to visit his sister and him because his dad, Tom (Beau Bridges), flooded the basement. He is really not looking forward to their visit, not only because they are the way that they are, but because he hasn’t told him he got a divorce. When he finally tells them the truth, his dad tells him mom, Carol (Margo Martindale), he wants a divorce from her so he can be happy. Now Tom is going to live with his daughter, Debbie (Jayma Mays) and Jack gets his mom. Needless to say both kids are miserable with one of their parents living with them.
Carol is very controlling and has killer gas and Tom is nicknamed Forrest Gump for a reason. So how will the kids handle having their parent live with them? We will have to tune in to find out every Thursday at 8:30p before The Crazy Ones to find out.
Then at 9p change the dial over to The CW for the series premiere of The Originals. Elijah (Daniel Gillies) has gone to New Orleans to see his brother, Klaus (Joseph Morgan). He comes across the witches and finds out that Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) is now ruling the town and won’t let them perform magic. Elijah also finds out that his brother got a werewolf pregnant and now he will do what he can to protect Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) so that she will be able to deliver his niece or nephew safely. How will Klaus handle being a father? Can the Originals and the Witches take down Marcel and his Vampires? Will Hayley carry this baby to term and what will her pregnancy be like? We will tune in every Tuesday at 8p after tonight to find out.
I might be in the minority when I say this, but I sincerely enjoy The Originals so much more than the show it spun off of, The Vampire Diaries. There is just something so much better about it and I hope that it keeps the feel it has during the season premiere.
