Hello RTV Fanatics Unite fans! From Ricky the Rat, Rufus the Rat Terrier, And of course me, Catlover04! Hello RTV people, How are you on this cloudy, threatening-to-rain-yet-again-for-the-millionth-time-this-week Sunday morning? It's really been pouring this week in North Carolina. So much rain! Don't think anyone needs to build an ark yet, but it might be getting close. Okay, exaggeration. But it will be nice to have some sunny days soon. And actually it was pretty nice out most yesterday. But yes, a lot of thunderstorms all week. Enough about rainy weather. Last night, daughter talked me into seeing a live theatre production of "Airness" - all about the world of "air guitar". Who knew there were actually serious competitions for playing air guitar? I sure didn't. We thought it was a fictional story for the play, so we googled it afterwards, Sure enough... it's a real thing! With actual rules, which the stage play was mostly true to. Very heavy on the classic rock. Also, very heavy on the language! So much so daughter was regretting she didn't ask her DAD, not me, to come with her. He might have enjoyed it more, hee hee. I was thinking it would have good one for WM too. All that classic R&R would have had his seventies (some of it was eighties too) trivia-brain spinning! Okay, perhaps dad would have enjoyed it more, but when your adult daughter asks you to go to something, you say yes. Nobody ever knows how much longer they will have to get to do things like this with your kids before they move away or get busy with their own adult lives. What can be more fun than spending time with your children? For fans of "So Help Me Todd" who are still sad over its cancellation, yesterday I found an article on TV Line about the seven-season plan the show runners had for this SHMT universe. It included a couple of spin-offs, and I am upset we'll never get to see them. One was for Allison, where she finally pulls herself up and finds the path SHE wants to go down, not the one she is on because she was pushed and prodded down it by her mother (sorry, Margaret, we love you but Allison deserves better). It really would have been a great series for our beloved daughter. There was also a sitcom being planned for Lyle and his FBI girlfriend. What's wrong with the powers that be at CBS that they didn't let this goldmine of a show live out its purpose? So upsetting. Here is a link to the article if anyone is interested: 'So Help Me Todd' Finale Ending Explained, Plans For Season 3 Revealed (tvline.com) Allison is the character I was most hoping to see a happy ending for. Not only did they have good things in store for her (a new career and a new husband, eventually) they had an entire spin-off planned for her! As happy as I am to know that, I wanted to SEE it! What's wrong with CBS? They are not being fair to "So Help Me Todd" or its fans. I read from another source that there has been an effort to save it, and also attempts to shop it around to other networks, But no takers so far. Big sigh. Here's hoping someone steps up to save it for us. Enough about me being mad at CBS. What about TV THIS week - some of which I'm confused by. You'll see why. Sunday, May 19th "Tracker: The Storm", Season 1 Episode 13 FINALE, 9 pm on CBS Colter investigates the disappearance of two amateur storm chasers that the local police have written off as an accidental drowning; Colter's expert tracking skills lead him to uncover the seedy underbelly of a small-town resort. One more episode for season one. As far as I know, season two is on. Monday, May 20th "MasterChef Junior: Finale Part 2", Season 22 Episode 10, 8 pm on Fox The three finalists are one step away from winning the competition as they complete their main courses and whip up a stunning dessert; the chefs have one final hour to showcase their culinary abilities and impress the judges; the winner is crowned. One more episode for our juniors. My guess is Michael will win. Then right around the corner is the new adult version: Wednesday, May 29th at 8 pm. Tuesday, May 21st "Will Trent: Do You See The Vision", Season 2 Episode 10, SEASON FINALE, 8 pm on ABC Will, Faith and Angie find themselves embroiled in a series of cases where a similar marker links the murders of several sex offenders; Angie grapples with an unexpected proposition from Amanda. Huh? A bonus episode? Didn't we have the finale last week? I swear Zap2It called it a "finale" a week ago, which is why I wrote it that way on my page.... "The Rookie: Escape Plan", Season 6 Episode 10, SEASON FINALE, 9 pm on ABC Sgt. Grey helps the team prepare for their biggest mission yet; Aaron, Lopez, Celina, Tim and Smitty discover a surprising connection in their case. Same for "The Rookie"! Again, Zap2It said last week's episode was the finale. Oh well, one more week for these fun shows. Wednesday, May 22nd "Survivor 46 FINALE: Friends Going To War", Episode 13, 8 to 9:30 pm on CBS The remaining five castaways must overcome multiple obstacles to guarantee they cannot be voted out; with the final immunity of the season comes the power to choose who has to earn their way to the final three; one castaway is crowned "Sole Survivor". The three-hour marathon finale is tonight. I'm still hoping Charlie and Marie can both make the final four. Some are predicting a Kenzie win. Not sure I really care THAT much, heh. The season has been so "meh" for me. And I'm still excited over the prospect of two "Australian Survivors" this year... including the much-anticipated "AU vs. US" season. Just please, powers that be, pick some of our BEST players. I saw someone suggest Bhanu - he'd never last in Australia (that had to have been someone's idea of a joke.) The other season is an-all newbie "Brains vs. Brawn", round two. "Gordon Ramsey's Food Stars: Pitch for Your Life", Season 2 Episode 1, 9 pm on FOX Hopeful entrepreneurs pitch themselves to mentors Gordon and Lisa as they vie for one of the seven spots up for grabs on each expert's team. Obviously, this premiere episode will be a delayed watch this week because of the "Survivor Finale", but I plan to watch. Maybe Thursday, 8 pm-ish? I really enjoyed season one last year. Let me know if anyone is interested. Then next week, we can chat it in live time. Thursday, May 23rd "Elsbeth: A Fitting Finale" Season 1 Episode 10 at 10 pm on CBS An unlikable fashion photographer is murdered in the middle of a fashion show; Elsbeth's role at the precinct is thrown into question. I believe this is the finale episode but, of course there will be a second season. Friday, May 23rd I've been keeping my Fridays open; however, over the summer months, I can see us work in a chat or to. In fact, this week I found that Australia has six seasons of "The Mole". I didn't know! Also found that you can find them on YouTube. If anyone is interested in checking out season one with me, I'd be open to it! This could be a lot of fun! These are my rat musings for the day. If anyone has anything to add, please do so in the comments.
