Random Thoughts…

  • Why is everyone so mean to Bumper in “Pitch Perfect 2”? The Trebles haven’t won anything since he left.
  • Rough end to “Survivor” last night when a player was pulled from the game due to a medical issue. You hate to see that.
  • There’s no way last night’s “Empire” shocker is going to stick. Just have Melisandre bring the character back.
  • Who are you pulling for in tomorrow’s “Amazing Race” finale? Drop me a line on Twitter and let me know.

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.

Random Thoughts…

  • I literally yelled at my TV last night when “Game of Thrones” decided to not show us all of the Tower of Joy scene.
  • Brie Larson’s Baby Shower skit on “Saturday Night Live” was gold. Be sure to check it out below.
  • I didn’t see that “Quantico” twist coming. But the way things are going with the show, I’m not sure if that twist won’t be twisted away.
  • A rough night for “Once Upon a Time” fans. If you know one, be sure to give them a hug today.
  • Loving the “Ocean’s Eleven” twist on this season’s “Silicon Valley.” Although, that ending might have been too dumb for such a smart show.

Mom Accidentally Makes Major Confession on National TV (‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’)

Random Thoughts…

  • Finally caught up on “Silicon Valley” last night and…uh…I really could’ve done without that stable scene.
  • So, this Alden Ehrenreich that was just cast as young Han Solo, why don’t they just cut him a deal for the inevitable “Indiana Jones” reboot?
  • I was on the fence with “The Catch,” but I think I’m officially out. Keep me posted if it gets better.
  • “Live, Die, Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow” is available On Demand. It’s the best movie that nobody ever talks about. Classic Cruise.

  • Wow…so it looks like this Trump reality show got renewed through the fall. Fascinating.
  • Last night’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” has me psyched and ready for “Captain America: Civil War” this weekend. Can…not…wait!
  • What does my mother want for Mother’s Day? For me to use my TV editor power to get them to reboot “Murder She Wrote.” Please, if I had those powers “Community” would’ve never gone off the air.

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.
