It’s another night of premieres, and I’m thrilled because one of my favorites is back tonight. Last season of NCIS: LA ended on a high note, with Kensi & Deeks able to foster Rosa, Sam & his dad bonding once Sam had him move in with him due to his mental health issues, and a surprise welcome beach party for Rosa, Kensi, & Deeks…where Callen surprised everyone, including Anna, and got down on one knee and proposed to her.

Of course, it’s not all sunshine & roses. Hetty is still missing, but I think she’s coming back sometime this season, so…we’ll see.

On tonight’s premiere, “Game of Drones,” the NCIS team searches for a suspect and their motive following the bombing of a large facility where military combat drones are assembled. Also, Callen and Kilbride get troubling news about a body found in Syria.

Find out if it’s Hetty in Syria tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, Celebrity Jeopardy!, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, , East New York, Family Law, Halloween Wars, SEAL Team, & The Rookie.

I’ve been looking forward to the series premiere of Fire Country since I first heard about it. This is inspired by series star Max Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California fire country. Max plays Clay on SEAL Team, and we’ve been assured that Clay isn’t going anywhere, so apparently Max is able to do double duty, or rather triple, since he’s the creator and an executive producer of this new series as well as starring.

He plays Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining an unconventional prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began. Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire.

I’m super excited about the premise, and I’m also excited about the cast. Billy Burke (Revolution, Zoo, and The Twilight Saga movies), Diane Farr (Numb3rs, Rescue Me), & Kevin Alejandro (Lucifer, Shark, The Returned, Sleeper Cell, Southland, True Blood), along with Jordan Calloway, Jules Latimer, & Stephanie Arcila.

Don’t miss tonight’s premiere on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching The Great British Baking Show, S.W.A.T., & Blue Bloods.

I’m excited because tonight is the series premiere of Alaska Daily, starring Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, a talented and award-winning investigative journalist who leaves her high-profile New York life behind after a fall from grace to join a daily metro newspaper in Anchorage on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.

The premise sounds like a lot of fun, but not only that, it also stars Jeff Perry (Inventing Anna, Nash Bridges, Scandal), who is great to watch, Ami Park, Craig Frank (The Messengers, Mixology), Grace Dove, Matt Malloy (Alpha House, Pink Collar), Meredith Holzman, & Pablo Castelblanco.

Don’t miss tonight’s premiere of ABC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Hell’s Kitchen, Law & Order, Ghosts, Law & Order: SVU, So Help Me Todd, CSI: Vegas, & Law & Order: OC.

I thoroughly enjoyed the series premiere of The Rookie: Feds last week. Honestly, I stopped watching the original a couple seasons ago, so I didn’t see the episode introducing the Simone last season, but that’s okay. I didn’t need to in order to enjoy the premiere.

I loved the camaraderie between Simone and Nolan and Simone and Brendon. I also loved how the action started pretty quickly with the crazy dad. Once at the FBI, it was great how Simone got stuck in background checks but decided she’d figure out a way into Garza’s unit, and she did just that. I can’t wait to see how it goes now that she has!

On tonight’s episode, “Face Off,” Simone utilizes her informant to track down an arms dealer on the FBI’s Most Wanted list; and Brendon, against Laura’s advice, investigates a risky lead on a congressman. When Carter and Brendon each find themselves at a crossroads, they begin to question their futures on the team and their loyalty is tested. Cutty and Simone struggle to see eye-to-eye on how they are helping the community, while Tim and Laura find common ground with their similar no-nonsense approach to training rookies. Guest starring are Melissa O’Neil as Lucy Chen and Eric Winter as Tim Bradford from The Rookie.

See how Simone and Brendon handle being on the team tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching FBI, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, Bobby’s Triple Threat, & Outchef’d.

I’m really enjoying the new season of NCIS: Hawai’i. Granted, it’s only been one episode aside from the premiere, but last week’s ep was pretty good. The team had to learn more about illegal street racing when a Marine staff sergeant’s body was found in a car being crushed in a junkyard. The killer turned out to be what felt like (to me, at least) the least likely suspect. On a personal note, Tennant knew her son was hiding something, and it turned out he was—a new girlfriend. It was the first time he hadn’t come to her with that kind of news, and she realized she would just have to be patient. Also, Whistler was ready to introduce Lucy to her coworkers, but when her boss assumed that Whistler’s partner was a male, she worried how they’d take the news that he was a she. Turned out she didn’t need to worry. Lucy and their relationship were welcomed with open arms at the company picnic.

On tonight’s episode, “Stolen Valor,” Tennant and the NCIS team suspect foul play when they investigate a fatal car crash involving a Navy officer who turns out to be an imposter. Also, Whistler finds herself in danger when she goes undercover to learn the truth behind the accident.

To see if Whistler comes out unscathed, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Dancing with the Stars, Bob Hearts Abishola, Halloween Baking Championship, NCIS, Halloween Cookie Challenge, & Quantum Leap.
