Hello RTV Fanatics Unite fans! From Ricky the Rat, Rufus the Rat Terrier, And of course, me, Catlover04! Good morning RTV people, How are you all on this fine, sunny - but somewhat chilly - Sunday morning? Quite a lot to mention this morning so I think I'll keep the chit chat to a minimum. Well, except to say I am taking Monday and Tuesday off this week for some much-needed downtime from work. Maybe I'll finally work in that Survivor kick off page that I keep saying I'll do but can't find time for. Also, this Thursday marks the theatrical release of the new movie "Jesus Revolution". At some point this weekend, I will be disappearing to go see it! I haven't looked this forward to a movie in a long, long time. It's based on the true story of Pastor Greg Laurie's experience during the 1969 Jesus Movement. I know Greg Laurie a little: he does a daily devotional which gets radio airplay on Spotify (it also shows up in my email daily, which makes it more fun). I don't often see a film about someone I have this familiarity with. Anyway... can't wait to see this! Now lets talk about TV. Sunday, February 19th Sunday is suddenly quite loaded... "American Idol", Season 21 Premiere, 8 pm on ABC Auditions in New Orleans, Las Vegas and Nashville. Will I or won't I? That is the question. I don't think I made it through the full season last year. And so many conflicts this year. We haven't had a good group to chat this is a while. But if anyone wants to, let me know. I'm kind of excited about THIS.... "Magnum PI: The Passenger", Season 5 Premiere, followed by Episode 2 at 9 pm on NBC Episode 1: Magnum and Higgins weigh the risks of pursuing a relationship; Rick juggles being a new father and running La Mariana; Katsumoto tries to figure out his next move. Episode 2: Magnum and Higgins go under cover as lifeguards to solve a murder; Jin Jeong wins a storage unit auction and enlists the help of Rick and TC upon finding a stolen military medal. When NBC picked up "Magnum" after CBS cancelled it, they committed to two seasons. Season five kicks off tonight and we're assured that it will have a season six. I think CBS made a big goof dumping this. They completely underestimated its fan base. "The Company You Keep", Season 1 Pilot, 10 pm on ABC A night of passion leads to love between con man Charlie and undercover CIA officer Emma, who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. We've had some expressing interested in this show, which will premiere tonight at 10 pm, then repeat on both Monday and Thursday at 10. Three chances to catch this premiere. "The Way Home: Don't Dream It's Over", Season 1 Episode 5, 9 pm on Hallmark Kat chaperones a school dance and reconnects with Brady; Alice wants Nick to find her in the future; Del says goodbye to more memories as a landmark closes. I have a feeling I will be on demanding this one: again, too many conflicts. But that's what DVRs are for, right? And if none of THAT interests you, you could visit TCM and catch a fantastic movie that I'm sure I will DVR and watch later. It's one of my all-time favorite inspiring movies, based on the lives of two runners in the 1924 Olympic Games. "Chariots of Fire"... 8 pm on TCM Personal goals spur British runners Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross) and Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson) to compete in the 1924 Olympics. Two different men. Two different viewpoints. Two tremendous talents. This movie tells the story of the Olympic experience of Eric Liddell, a Christian Evangelist and Harold Abrahams, a Jewish man in the 1924 Olympics. Moving on.... Monday, February 20th "The Bachelor: Zach", Season 27 Episode 5, 8 to 10 pm on ABC Zach and the remaining women head to London for another week of adventure; Zach is in a never-before-seen scenario which could drastically alter the journey ahead. We've reached the "international" phase of the show. This week it's London England, the most stiff upper-lip place in the world to fall in love. But what an intriguing preview: Zach delivering what appears to be very bad news - over a zoom call? Will this change the entire course of the season? It'll certainly be promoted as a such, true or not! "Alert: Missing Persons Unit, Craig" Season 1 Episode 8, 9 pm on Fox Sidney comes clean about the details surrounding the day of Keith's disappearance, causing Jason to cast serious doubt on the boy claiming to be his son; Mike's police mentor brings a missing officer's case to the MPU team. Finally, will the secret surrounding Keith start to unfold on this episode? Can't wait to find out. Tuesday, February 21st "The Rookie: Exposed", Season 5 Episode 16, 8 pm on ABC The team must stop a militia from detonating a highly combustible truck in their possession; Nolan, Thorson, Juarez and Harper search for three men who may have been exposed to Ebola. Oh dear..... that doesn't sound good. "La Brea: The Wedding", Season 2 Episode 11 and "The Swarm" Season 2 Episode 12, 9 to 11 pm on NBC When the clearing and fort unite to celebrate the union of Ty and Paara, the invitation of a controversial guest threatens to upend the festivities; Lucas offers Veronica an unexpected strategy to unravel her captor's odd connection to 10,000 B.C. Eve and Gavin ally with James to infiltrate the Lazarus building in hopes of saving Ty and stopping Kiera from destroying their only way home; when a deadly horde awakens beneath the clearing, Veronica must save Ella before a lethal sting kills her. Two hours of "La Brea" tonight. Did the preview indicate that this is a wedding that will go wrong? Trying to decide if there are any real spoilers in the second synopsis. Hmm..... "Will Trent: Unable to Locate?", Season 1 Episode 7 When the GBI discovers that a neo-Nazi organization is planning an attack, they prioritize the case to protect innocent people; Angie faces a potentially life-changing scenario and investigates a sneaker release gone wrong with Ormewood. Oh no...neo-Nazis! But more importantly - what on Earth is a "sneaker release"? And how can it go wrong? Wednesday, February 23rd "The Masked Singer" Season 9 Episode 2, 8 pm on Fox Two new characters enter the competition; two are unmasked. And yes, I will follow this but I do not have to follow it on time. For this week anyway, I think Wednesday is the best day for... A very fun first episode with a smile-worthy icon unmasked. I'm hooked for the season. I'm afraid he completely upstaged the second reveal.... 97-year-old Dick Van Dyke was such a great surprise. This show is so much more enjoyable with a chat. But sadly, we no longer have people interested. So you'll just have to put up with me talking about it, hee hee. I really enjoy the guessing on this show. "Australian Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains" Week 4, Episodes 10 - 12 For this week at least, tonight might be the best night to watch "Australian Survivor". Or if we wanted to work in the first one tonight... say at 7:30 ish... we could do the final two on Wednesday (uh, tonight IS Wednesday?), keeping Friday free. Or we can do the first two on Wednesday and the final one on Friday. Not sure what we will do when "US Survivor" begins on March 1st. A problem for next week, I guess. Thursday, February 23rd No new "Ghosts" or "So Help Me Todd". That means a chat for.... "Next Level Chef: No Pain, No Grain", Season 2 Episode 3 8 pm on Fox The chefs are challenged with making an upscale sandwich; one chef is eliminated. I know we said moving forward we would delay-chat this, but since tonight there are no conflicts, let's do it live. "Animal Control: Rabbits and Pythons", Season 1 Episode 2, 9 pm on Fox A tech geek tells Frank his rabbits got into his special chocolate bars; Frank and Shred find a python wrapped around a man's neck. Wonder what "special" means? I have a guess (Magic mushrooms, no doubt. They appeared on "This Is Us"; they appeared on "So Help Me Todd"; Sunshine is BOUND to do them at some point on "Ghosts". And - spoiler alert! - I read they will play a major role on one "Survivor" this season. During a challenge - or during a tribal council? Stoned Probst?) I saw a clip of the python. Let's just say I'm not a fan of snakes. I enjoyed episode one though. Anyone else? Also, if you somehow missed the premiere of "The Company You Keep" on Sunday or Monday, it is being replayed yet again tonight. ABC must REALLY want this new Milo show to succeed! Friday, February 24th "The Mandalorian", Chapter 1, Season 1 Episode 1, 8 pm on ABC In the lawless aftermath of the collapse of the Galactic Empire, an armored bounty hunter takes on a well-paying yet cryptic assignment (some flashing lights sequences or patterns may affect photosensitive viewers).
IF you don't have Disney Plus and never plan to get it, here is your chance to check out the popular Disney Plus Star Wars Saga show "The Mandalorian". I've never actually seen it, but had opportunities a long time ago. Just never got around to it. Well, not entirely true. I did watch the first episode long enough to get the big surprise. Then for some reason just never got around to finishing it. I've always said I plan to though.... Other than that, I think this is the night we'll do the third "Australian Survivor" episode for the week. Unless we go the OTHER route, one tonight and two on Wednesday. I'm flexible.... whatever you guys want to do. These are my rat musings for the day. If anyone has anything to add, please do so in the comments.
