Hello RTV Fanatics Unite fans! From Ricky the Rat, Rufus the Rat Terrier, And, of course me, Catlover04! Hello RTV people! And to all of our mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, mother-in-laws - whatever kind of mother you are, we wish you a wonderful day! I need the sun to come out and the threat of more rain to go away since we have outdoor plans. Yes, they could easily be moved inside but still hoping for some prettier weather than we've had all weekend. It has been unpredictable. Looking at a list of summer premiere dates. So little to look forward to. Am I losing interest in TV in general, I wonder? We do have a couple of things: "So You Think You Can Dance" premieres on May 18th "Masterchef" (the adult version) premieres on May 25th "America's Got Talent" premieres on May 31st "Lego Masters" also premieres on May 31st. "Stranger Things" will be released on Netflix on May 27th. "The Orville" will finally resume on Hulu on June 2nd (do Canadians have access?) If not, since so few get Hulu, will I watch? Yet to be determined. I was hit-or-miss with this show (Will it depend on whether Lieutenant Alara is back, now that she doesn't have another gig on "Prodigal Son"?). If anyone cared to catch it here in the US, you could do a free trial of Hulu (5.99/month), then cancel it when you are done. Canadians may have access another way. You guys will have to let me know. "American Ninja Warrior" premieres on June 6th. "Evil" will release a new season on Paramount Plus on June 12th. (No thank you.. too scary for me). But I know some of you liked it... **I was looking at an EW list. Here's a link if you want to check it out: 2022 TV premiere dates: Complete guide to new and returning shows | EW.com Of course, we should also have some international "Survivor" to look forward to. Maybe a new South Africa AND another Australian? Will see if I can find any info. And quite a bit on that list I have never heard of, so maybe some research could be done to see if I DO have any interest. Question: Is the "Welcome to Plath" listed for TLC as a summer show the same "Welcome to Plath" that has been on Fox, or something different? TLC usually doesn't do scripted so must check this out. Now, lets take a look at this week's TV fun... Sunday, May 8th "The Rookie: Mother's Day", Season 4 Episode 21, 10 pm on ABC Episode synopsis reads like this: Sgt. Grey supports Officer Nolan's desire to become a training officer and offers to ride with him for the day to get him ready; Tim and Lucy decide on their plans for Mother's Day and a romantic vacation. So I guess season five will be "Training Officer" Nolan and not "Rookie" Nolan. This will allow him to train a rookie of his own! Monday, May 9th Unless I decide to drop into the final episodes of "American Idol" - which could happen - I see an evening of "When Calls the Heart" for my Monday. I am now a couple of episodes into season seven. Season nine is currently airing so maybe by the time it's over, I'll be caught up and can catch season ten in live time with the rest of the world. Whimsicali, I left you a large comment on yesterday's page about my thoughts on this show, in case you missed it. I won't bore everyone here with it... but just wanted to let you know. Tuesday, May 10th "Holey Moley, You're Going To Need A Lawyer!" Season 4, Episode 2, 8 pm on ABC Episode synopsis reads like this: Contestants compete on The Fishing Hole, Polecano, Dutch Courage En Fuego and Big Foot Wedge. Off to a fun start! Such a goofy this show is. You watch it for the giggles, not to take it seriously (for those who have never seen it before). Yes, it's a competition, and someone is declared the winner, but it's goofy competition. (And as we hoped, last week's "Muppets" plot line was just a one-episode thing) "This Is Us: Family Meeting" Season 6 Episode 16, 9 pm on NBC The Big Three make a plan for Rebecca. They seem to be on the "less is more" version of synopsis-writing for This Is Us It does feel like we are getting down to the final episode. Last week's look at the life of Miguel was an emotional one. Our running joke with this show has always been "Don't forget the tissues". I have a feeling the last few episodes will fall into that category for sure. So whatever you do... do NOT forget those tissues (I sure needed one last week). Wednesday, May 11th "Survivor Season 42: Battle Royale", Episode 11, 8 pm on CBS Episode synopsis reads like this: One castaway drops out of the immunity challenge, leaving their fate up to chance. Just who would do such a thing? Heh. Does anyone have a serious winner pick at this point? We are all joking about a Maryanne victory... but do any of us seriously think she WILL? I think I'm rooting most for Lindsay at this point. And it wouldn't be a bad play for her to KEEP Jonathan around. She has proven she can beat him in challenges (even though for a while there, he seemed unbeatable). She has proven herself stronger at strategy. They are both pretty good socially, but I think overall as Survivor player, Lindsay is more the full package than he is. If it came down to the two of them, I really think she could take him in the end. Thoughts? Once again, I have completely forgotten what the preview for this upcoming week showed. WM? I've sort of missed our duo synopsis writing of this show. A little. (I've forgotten myself. Couldn't have been anything particularly memorable then) "Beyond the Edge: Ask A Monkey for Help", Season 1 Episode 9, 9 pm on CBS Episode synopsis reads like this: As five celebrities race to traverse a swamp during the Snake Eggs adventure challenge, one experiences physical ailments that make them consider ringing the bell. Bottom line: we're down to five players, and the two alpha males have such an insurmountable lead over the other three it makes no sense continuing. Time to pull the plug. "Domino Masters: The Sky's the Limit, Season 1 Finale, 9 pm on Fox Episode synopsis reads like this: It's time for the finale, as three teams build whatever they want, working around the pre-existing finish line arch; the team whose topple comes out on top wins the $100,000 prize. Can't wait to see what our Domino Masters come up with for the finale. Rooting for the Dominerds, I think, just because they are so young compared to some of the others. And so clever. Their last build was tremendous fun to watch topple. I was about the say "fall down" but "topple" is the correct term for this. Thursday, May 12th "Masterchef Junior Edition: The Big Bake Sale", Season 19 Episode 9, 8 pm on Fox Episode synopsis reads like this: The eight remaining junior chefs split into teams for a bake sale challenge; one member of the losing team goes home. We learned this week that EJetson is not a fan of A'Dan. I like this show but I still find it very hard to believe that these young kids knows so much about cooking. Most of them seem to know more than I do; which isn't saying much but... still fun to watch. Love little Ivey the most. And little Molly. "Big Sky: Family Matters", Season 2 Episode 17, 10 pm on ABC Episode synopsis reads like this: A concerned Jenny searches for Travis; Scarlett, desperate to protect her daughter, makes an unexpected phone call that could change the course of more than one life; Jag finds out the truth about his father. Wondering what the truth about dad is - he has a fatal disease and must decide which of his children to leave the cartel to? No decision there; Ren is by far the better choice, and it sets her up for her own spin-off show when a new story arc is introduced for season three! Friday, May 13th "Raising Dion", Season 2: Finally! Wait, didn't we do this LAST WEEK? Nope. Big storm in my neck of the woods last Friday knocked the power out for the entire evening. So we shall try again to begin this THIS week. We'll see what happens. These are my rat musings for the day. If anyone has anything to add, please do so in the comments. And again.. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
