Random Thoughts…
- Wow, yesterday was a bloodbath with 12 different shows getting the axe. And just when I was getting into “Nashville.”
- Which eliminated show was your fave? Let me know on Twitter: @gordonholmes
- Fortunately for both of you “Galavant” fans, it looks like the show is going to become a stage production.
- How about that kiss on “Grey’s Anatomy”? Didn’t see that one coming.

Their Kid Is a Celebrity. Can You Guess Which One Based on Their Clues? (“Jimmy Kimmel Live”)
Random Thoughts…
- Max Greenfield’s Schmidt is one of my favorite characters on TV. I’ll admit I got a little misty during his wedding last night on “New Girl.”
- Still loving “The Night Manager.” There’s time to catch up and join me. Join me……
- “Survivor” is quietly having one of its best seasons ever. And as usual a good season is the result of interesting players, not big twists.
- “Chrisley Knows Best” finally returned last night. The show grows on you. Be careful.

Should Women Who Don’t Have Children Get ‘Me-ternity’ Leave? (‘The View’)
Random Thoughts…
- Still reeling from Sunday’s “Game of Thrones.” With all the deaths and other big ol’ moments, it really feels like they’re stepping on the gas pedal. That’s not a complaint.
- Free Million-Dollar Idea: “Breakdancing with the Stars.” You’re welcome, ABC.
- Are you watching “The Night Manager” yet? No, I’m not going to stop bugging you about it.
- “Castle” is making me sick to my stomach if they’re heading where it seems like they’re heading.

 1. ‘The Tonight Show’ – This might be the funniest potato chip bit of all time. Also possibly the only potato chip bit of all time. |
 2. ‘Late Late Show’ – Tituss Burgess and John Stamos sing Disney’s “Kiss the Girls.” Adorable. |
 3.‘Dancing with the Stars’ – The only thing I’m qualified to judge is a pro wrestling trivia contest, and even I know that Ginger Zee’s waltz was worth of a perfect score. |
What to Watch Tonight…
 1. ‘NCIS’ (CBS: 8pm ET) – First Lady Michelle Obama guest stars as a renegade cop who plays by her own rules. OK, that isn’t totally true, she plays the First Lady of the United States. |
 2. ‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ (Bravo: 9pm ET) – All you need to know about this show is that a cast member wanted to be a fireman because it was the closest thing to being a Ghostbuster. This guilty pleasure is hilarious

 A Jack Russell Terrier and a Horse Become ‘Unlikely Best Friends’ (NatGeo Wild) |
Random Thoughts…
- “Don’t eat the help” has to be an early favorite for “Game of Thrones” line of the year.
- Oh…and that other thing that happened during last night’s “Game of Thrones”? C’mon…least surprising surprise ever.
- I think the Double U-Turn was broken this week on “The Amazing Race.” You shouldn’t be able to use it on teams that have already passed.
- Keeping WWE Superstar Enzo Amore in my thoughts and prayers after last night’s unfortunate accident during WWE Payback. Hoping everything turns out OK for the “realest guy in the room.”

Alright, now that XFINITY Watchathon Week is over, I want to hear your big binge brags. If you have anything that’s worth mentioning, drop me a line on Twitter and be sure to tag your tweets #bingewatching and #XFINITYbinge.
 |
 |
1. – “Game of Thrones”: Our long national nightmare is finally over. The best show on TV is finally back!
|
2. – “Limitless”: I really hope this show gets a second season, because it is awesome. Totally worth your time. |
 |
 |
3. – “Chrisley Knows Best”: Chrisley is coming back in a few weeks. Catch up while folding laundry (although, that’d be a lot of laundry…).
|
4. – “Lucifer”: Catch all of season one from beginning to shocking finish this weekend.
|
 |
 |
| 5. – “Outlander”: This show was huge during Watchathon Week, and for good reason. This time-traveling epic romance is a winner. |
6. – “Love & Hip Hop”: This guilty pleasure is a perfect way to spend a lazy day on the couch.
|
 |
 |
7. – “Little Big Shots”: When I was a kid, the coolest thing I could do was that trick where you pretend to pull your thumb off. These young-uns have me beat.
|
8. – “60 Days In”: This look at regular people who go undercover in real prisons is easily my pick for the best new reality show of the year. Fascinating.
|
 |
 |
| 9. – “Empire”: We’re picking up momentum as we head toward the finale with pregnancies, kinda-weddings, and more. |
10. – “Silicon Valley”: I was on the fence when this HBO comedy started, but now I’m fully on board. Hilarious.

 James Corden Knocked His Beyonce Parody Out of the Park (“The Late Late Show”) |
 This Angry Baby Grew Up to Be a Star. Do You Recognize Her? (“The Late Late Show”) |
Random Thoughts…
So…what aren’t they telling us about how quickly Michael Strahan is leaving “Live with Kelly & Michael”? Something’s up. … I’m not a fan of James Corden interviewing three people at once on “The Late Late Show.” Poor Ice Cube sitting there while Maisie Williams discusses music festivals. … The worst thing about having “Game of Thrones” back is the six days you have to wait for a new episode. … Alright CBS, if you promise to renew “Limitless,” I’ll give “Big Brother” a fourth chance. |
Trending Videos…
 |
1. ‘The Night Manager’ – Only two episodes in and this one has got me hooked. Like I said; it’s basically Bond meets Bourne. |
 |
2. ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ – We waited three seasons for it…and last night we finally got it. I’ll admit, it got a little dusty in my living room. |
 |
3. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ – A million high-fives to Jimmy Kimmel for bringing back this classic “Newlywed Game” bit. |
What to Watch Tonight…
 |
1. ‘Survivor: Kaoh Rong’ (CBS: 8pm ET) – Tai turned the whole season on its ear last week with his refusal to create the super idol. Who knows what he’ll do this week. |
 |
2. ‘Empire’ (FOX: 9pm ET) – After last week’s Boo-Boo Kitty revelation, I have no idea which way this show is going. But, I can’t wait until we get there. |
 |
3. ‘The Americans’ (FX: 10pm ET) – Martha’s fate is finally going to be determined. Dun…dun…dun…
