Guys, it’s Thanksgiving so by the time prime time rolls around, I expect you all to be over stuffed from food and drink and half asleep on the couch of your choosing. But, if you’re still awake, here is our abbreviated What To Watch Tonight!! For our money, you can’t beat AMC’s Godfather Parts I and II marathon from 5:30p to 2a but here are some other top choices on this Holiday night!
‘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. BUT, its still Tuesday and so we’re still watching The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow before anything else. But most important, we’re only 1 week away from the mega 4 show Arrow-verse cross over event, Crisis on Earth-X!
Let’s assume you’re not going to see Justice League tonight. On that assumption, Pop Culture Review has the best choices for what you should watch tonight!! MacGyver is our number one Friday night treat, but we’re also going to be spending sometime tonight and this weekend binge watching The Punisher, Netflix’s newest Marvel show entry which released today. Other choices tonight include Gordon Ramsey torturing chef-testants and some great movies with Harry Potter and The Princess Bride on tap.
Arrow is busy examining Slade’s wayward son tonight, Professor Pyg remains uber creepy on Gotham and we get an Alara centric episode on Orville. Typical Thursday night fare!! Also, Goodfellas is on AMC if you want to relive the mafia classic!
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!!
“Angela, do you have something to tell me?” was how we left the one take episode of Mr. Robot last week. From the pictures released for tonight’s episode, it looks like we pick up right there. But tonight is also super exciting because Mythbusters returns to your TV. Check out our review of these 2 new Mythbusters and tune in tonight to see what trouble Jon and Brian can get up to.
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.
Every Monday we tell you how much we love Monday night TV and its true again tonight. Its an embarrassment of riches. In addition to our normal Favorites, Supergirl at 8, The Gifted at 9 and The Brave (our official favorite new show of 2017), we are happy to add Ride with Norman Reedus and Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics. to our What to Watch list.
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!
