If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/23/13

Posted on May 23, 2013 by and

I have been really enjoying this light week of TV—I wish we could have this all summer, but in two weeks, the madness begins again! I’m really looking forward to the upcoming long weekend—sorry, Canada, but you just got one. We won’t be doing a column tomorrow, but if you’re looking for something to watch, I suggest checking out the Brain Games: Blow Your Mind special on FOX, as I’ve been really enjoying the series on NatGeo. But enough about tomorrow. Here’s what we suggest you check out tonight…

Kyle’s Choice

havetogosmallTonight, Fox kicks off a new reality series called Does Someone Have to Go?. The series is like The Office meets Kitchen Nightmares, Hotel Hell, or Tabatha Takes Over, but instead of some external person coming in and overhauling the business, it leaves that task up to the employees. Each week, a business owner will put the power into the hands of his or her employees. Employees are told the salaries of their coworkers and get to hear frank thoughts about one another that were thought to be said in private. Then they must decided who to put up for possible termination.

I was both appalled and captivated by this show—this isn’t a joke, like Donald Trump saying “You’re Fired”—you are dealing with people’s livelihoods here! I’m not sure how any business’s morale could survive a process like this or why any business owner would want to do this to his or her employees. I guess they are going for the “you must tear it down to make it stronger” approach. Tonight is only part one of the premiere, so we don’t get to see the ultimate fallout from this process, just things getting stirred up.

On tonight’s episode, “VMS, Part 1,” the owner of a credit card-processing company in Illinois called Velocity Merchant Services turns her businesses over to her employees, who are given the power to make changes in the workplace—and even decide the fate of their colleagues.

See the premiere tonight on FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Rookie Blue, Save Me, Hannibal, Hell’s Kitchen, Giving You the Business, Men at Work, The Graham Norton Show, and Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous.

Our Thoughts on the NBC 2013-14 Pilot Trailers

Posted on May 23, 2013 by , and

Megan, Kyle, & I have been giving our opinions on the trailers for the new fall shows. You can check out the ones we’ve already posted: ABC & CBS. Now, we’re here to give you our opinions on the NBC shows, starting with the dramas.
 

Dracula

  • Jenny: I started to mark this one as Most Likely 1 and Done, but…it’s vampires. My problem with it is the historical aspect of it. I’m not a fan of shows set way back when, so I have a feeling that will override my love of vampires. Therefore, I’m putting this as Curious. It looks like if it’s done right, it’ll be good for those people who don’t mind the historical aspect. We’ll see… – Curious.
  • Megan: I really enjoyed The Tudors—it was incredibly dramatic and full of some intense sexual themes (so not appropriate for NBC LOL)—so a lot of the same cast/crew on this show makes me hopeful. I love supernatural shows, but my only worry is if they will be able to keep the show going for a full season without it getting boring. – Excited.
  • Kyle: I liked The Tudors, and this series finds the same people working with the same actor, so I have some hope. My only fear is how do they keep the story going for a full season? – Curious.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/22/13

Posted on May 22, 2013 by , and

This week is just flying by! I cannot believe that June is just around the corner. Before I know it, the kids will be off for the summer and I’ll be trying to find things to amuse them. To take my mind off the crazy summer, let’s see what you should be watching.

Megan’s Choice

criminalminds522smallI was so pleased when I heard that Criminal Minds was coming back for another season. That saves me crying tonight if it was a series finale. This has been one of my favorite shows for years now (which, FYI, for a TV addict is a big deal)—and the only complaint I have is that I still want to see them try a Morgan/Garcia relationship. At least give us fans a kiss. I know the incredibly sexy Shemar Moore, who plays Derek, thinks that making his character have romantic involvement with Garcia will ruin the chemistry—I disagree! :) Let’s see Derek give his Baby Girl some love!

On last week’s episode, we watched as the team solved the case with an Unsub who kidnapped couples and made them kill each other. Can you imagine having to kill your spouse? *shiver* We also saw as Blake had to decide whether or not to leave the BAU to take a full-time teaching job so she could be with her husband more. In the end, Blake asked him to love her as she is, and that means continuing to travel for her work with the BAU. It was a sweet moment that really illustrated what a strong marriage is—learning to love the person for who they are and not who you want them to be.

On tonight’s 2-hour season finale, “Brothers Hotcher, The Replicator,” the Replicator goes after a member of the BAU; during an investigation into a series of drug-related deaths in Manhatten, Hotch learns that his estranged brother, Sean, is caught in the middle.

To see how season 8 of this fabulous show comes to an end, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching MasterChef, Law & Order: SVU, and Chicago Fire.
