Tonight during the 8p hour on NBC, you are going to need the tissues. But, I thought that This Is Us airs at 9p. It does. However, you will be laughing so hard with The Rock and Mr. Mayor that you will be crying happy tears.
Young Rock starts things off at 8p, and things are starting off on a high note. DJ’s dad wins the Tag Team Belt of the WWF. That means that Rocky (Joseph Lee Anderson) is going to hit the road. He will leave his wife (Stacey Leilua) and Dewey (Adrian Groulx) behind.
However, years later, Rocky will ask his family to join him in Nashville. Dwayne (Bradley Constan) heads out before his mom, and it is not what he expected.
Talking about what he didn’t expect, DJ (Uli Latukefu) thought he would go from the University of Miami into the NFL. He didn’t. Instead, he was recruited by the Canadian Football League.
Finally, we get to The Rock, who is running for President. However, there is an archnemesis who is going to try to stop that. What did The Rock do to him? You will have to tune in next week to find out.
The Rock plays a more significant role in the show this season as compared to last. And the more DJ, the better. Even if they aren’t focusing on our alma mater as much this season.
Then at 8:30p, it is time for Mr. Mayor’s second term on NBC.
Things are changing at the LA Mayor’s office. The Mayor (Ted Danson) has hired an innovative team to make sure that things run more smoothly. However, his staff doesn’t agree with him.
Apri (Holly Hunter) is going to do everything in her power to prove that they are needed. For example, she is going to help his daughter (Kyla Kennedy) pass her permit test. Apri thinks that the Mayor will be happy about that, but he isn’t.
She is not the only one who is not happy about them being there. Mikaela (Vella Lovell) and Tommy (Mike Cabellon) are wary of them, especially when they find out the innovative team wants to fire those who they don’t think are worthy of staying on. Who will it be? Will it be Apri, Mikaela, Tommy, or Jayden (Bobby Moynihan)?
You will just have to tune in to find out, and also for a surprise ending!
The main reason to tune in is to see them improv their way through each episode. It is fun playing, is it scripted or improved. We will never know…
One thing I do is, is that if Ted Danson ran for Mayor of Los Angeles, he would have my vote.
