What To Watch – Wednesday, November 22, 2017

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving and we still have a new Mr. Robot so all is good this Wednesday night. But, we also have a Charlie Brown hour, a music festival and a behind the scenes look at the impact of Holiday movies.  Plenty to watch as you’re prepping your bird for tomorrow.

Before we get to the holiday merriment, we at Pop Culture Review want to say goodbye to David Cassidy, one of the classic pop idols of American culture.  The boy every girl wanted to date in the 1970s, passed away yesterday at the age of 67 from organ failure.  The breakout star of the 1970s groovy hit series, The Partridge Family, Cassidy rose to fame playing Keith Partridge and he, along with his TV family had several chart topping music hits.  The biggest single, I Think I Love You, had Cassidy on lead vocals and sold more than 5 million copies. His daughter, Katie Cassidy, is a PCR favorite as Laurel Lance/Black Canary/Black Siren on Arrow and the Arrow-verse shows.  RIP Mr. Cassidy.

CBS goes all in with the Thanksgiving episodes tonight which earns brownie points from us and gets them nods for shows to watch.

After a year and a half absence, the classic Discovery Channel show, Mythbusters, is set to return to the airwaves on November 15, 2017. Moving from the Discovery Channel flagship to the its nerdier cousin, Science (often abbreviated to simply, SCI), Mythbusters is looking to recapture the glory of its predecessor show while at the same time, raising the ante as it takes viewers on a wild ride of debunking age old myths. Featuring all new hosts, all new myths, an all new set, and even an all new Buster, this rebooted experiment show is NOT your father’s Mythbusters. IT’S BETTER!!

What To Watch – Tuesday, November 14, 2017

The CW Arrow-Verse dominates our Tuesdays and tonight, we’re particularly excited for the Council of Wells on The Flash, so many Harrison Wells in 1 room.  Its dizzying.  At 9pm, we’re checking out DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and at 10pm, we’re sticking around Damnation … for now, but also interested in Discovery’s new show, Bushcraft Build-Off – I always enjoy watching handy people build things I could never do.

What To Watch – Friday, November 10, 2017

MacGyver uses Tabasco sauce and a heater to perform a heart a transplant. What more do you need to know in order to watch MacGyver tonight?  But Mac is only the warm up for the season (maybe series? probably series) finale of Marvel’s Inhumans at 9. I’ve really enjoyed the show and I hope ABC gives it legs for a season 2 but there are so many damn haters out there.

We’ve also got some movie recommendations and the Injustice 2 Group Playoffs over on ELeague. Nerd Up!
