If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/7/16

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

theoddcouple47smallTonight, CBS’s updated version of The Odd Couple returns for its second season. When we last left off, Oscar was being audited by the IRS, but since he and ex-wife Gabby had filed jointly that year, it meant that they actually needed to talk to one another. And in typical sitcom fashion, bickering between the former couple led to a rekindling of feelings and sex. However, by the end of the episode, the two decided they were better off just friends. On the flip side, Felix and Emily also ended up in bed but decided it was time to pursue their relationship – much to Dani’s delight.

While I’m not generally a fan of remakes, this series won me over by the end of the first season. It wasn’t one that I rushed to watch each week, but whenever I did get around to watching it off the DVR, I always found it fun. How could you not enjoy this hilarious cast – Matthew Perry, Thomas Lennon, Wendell Pierce, Lindsay Sloane, and Yvette Nicole Brown? I’m looking forward to seeing how Felix and Emily’s relationship evolves this season, though I’ll kind of miss the will they/won’t they from last season. And I hope we get even more Dani this year, because she’s my favorite of the characters.

On tonight’s premiere, “All About Eavesdropping,” Oscar and Felix start obsessively eavesdropping on their bickering neighbors. But being nice guys, they decide to help save the couple’s marriage. Meanwhile, Emily and Dani’s friendship is tested when they train together for a race to the top of the Empire State Building.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, Rush Hour, Grey’s Anatomy, The Catch, The Blacklist, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The 100, Archer, and 60 Days In.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/19/15

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Megan’s Choice #1

greysanatomy219smallGrey’s Anatomy has been delivering this season on the emotional story front—I must have used a whole box of kleenex last episode. It was a very hard thing to watch April and Jackson struggle over the fact that their son was going to die; and it was even harder to watch Jackson pray to a God that he doesn’t believe in because he loved April so much. Losing a child is such a terrible thing, but this show has never shied away from difficult and uncomfortable topics. They instead choose to tackle them with grace and emotion. I was a ball of emotion last week, yet the show managed to have a few amusing moments thanks to Meredith trying to find a sitter for her kids for the weekend. Maggie came through for Meredith in the end, and I’m glad because I really want them to keep building this sister relationship. I’m interested to see where they’re going to go with all these characters now, especially Jackson and April.

On tonight’s episode, “The Great Pretender,” Maggie gets upset when Meredith dodges her questions about DC; Bailey and Ben become concerned about Ben’s brother after he is admitted to the hospital, and Dr. Herman starts to warm up to Arizona. Meanwhile, Richard feels manipulated by Catherine.

To see what is causing Meredith to be so tight-lipped about her trip, tune in to ABC at 8/7c.
