Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, November 22, 2011

With Thanksgiving only a few days away, you don’t have as many TV options this Tuesday. But, luckily, there are a few good choices, including the season finale of DANCING WITH THE STARS. (Go J.R.!)

Keep reading to see what’s on tonight, and let us know what you’ll be watching!

NCIS | 8pm on CBS
“Sins of the Father”
After Anthony DiNozzo, Sr. is found in a car with a dead body in the trunk and no memory of the previous night, the NCIS team must figure out if he is capable of murder. Meanwhile, Tony is sidelined for this case and must go against orders to try and prove his father’s innocence.

The Biggest Loser | 8pm on NBC
“Episode 1210”
The contestants start their week with a holiday food temptation involving Thanksgiving favorites and amazing prizes, including a coveted 3 lb. advantage. Later, trainers Bob Harper, Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince prepare a healthy Thanksgiving dinner for the players, and everyone shares what they are most thankful for, with one trainer sharing a surprising revelation. Then it’s the toughest challenge of the season so far with an outdoor, one-mile high climb on Jacob’s Ladder treadmill climbers. The top finishers win special prizes with a “Pay it forward” twist. Later, one contestant does something considered uncharitable by the others, leading to friction at the elimination table before another player is sent home.

The remaining finalists from the four categories – Boys, Girls, Over 30s and Groups – perform LIVE for their chance to win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. After the performances, it is up to America to vote to keep their favorite acts safe in the competition.

“High Road is the Guy Road”
Will struggles to take the high road after a kid at school starts bullying Nathan, especially after Theresa tells him the kid’s mom is on the school board, which Theresa is lobbying for funding for the science club. But when he learns that the kid’s dad is Dennis Mayder (guest star Dan Cortese), the same guy who mercilessly bullied Will and the gang back in the day, he looks to his friends – and Grant – for help.

So much more. Keep reading…

What Happened During the Final Shocking Moments of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER?

The following contains MAJOR spoilers for tonight’s episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Don’t read any further if you haven’t yet seen the episode.

CASTLE: Andrew Marlowe Teases ‘Kill Shot’

With just a few hours until CASTLE’s “Kill Shot” airs, how excited are you guys?

As we’ve already teased, the hour is a big one for Stana Katic and her character, Kate Beckett [You saw our chat with Katic, right?], and when I recently spoke with series creator Andrew Marlowe, he also gushed about how proud he was of the episode.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Preview: ‘Rebound Girl’

Fresh off his breakup with Nora (and Robin picking Kevin over him), Barney decides to go down an entirely different life path — co-parenting with Ted!

Um, yeah.

While it might sound utterly ridiculous, the guys have a (semi-)logical reason for choosing to go that way. And it kind of makes a bit of bizarre sense for why it could work.

Trust me when I say this is NOT an episode you’re going to want to miss. Seriously, watch it live, watch it first, but whatever you do, watch it as soon as possible because some major things will be going down you won’t want to be spoiled.

[UPDATE: The episode has aired on the East Coast, click here to find out what happened in the shocking final moments of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.]

Can’t wait to watch “Rebound Girl”? Check out a promo and clip right now…

FRINGE: John Noble Teases ‘Back to Where You’ve Never Been’! Plus, Check out a ‘Clear’ Promo for 2012

We’ve reached that depressing time of year when many of our favorite shows go on holiday hiatus. Boo!

The latest series to join that list? FRINGE. After that crazy final scene, I can’t wait to see what the show has planned for us, but alas, we get no new episodes until 2012.

Can’t wait until then? Thanks to Warner Bros., I was on set for part of the filming of the next episode (and I’ll have much more for you guys closer to the show’s return), and I couldn’t resist putting up this little tease of what John Noble (Walter) had to say about what they were currently filming.

Take a look…

So when will Terry show up and who will he be playing?

About Last Night…HOMELAND, THE CLEVELAND SHOW, FAMILY GUY and More

Sunday TV got disturbed a bit with the AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS on ABC, which meant no ONCE UPON A TIME, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES or PAN AM, but there were still plenty of shows on last night.

So let’s talk television!

Monday’s SNAP JUDGMENT – HART OF DIXIE

Happy Monday! Time for a new week of SNAP JUDGMENT!

CASTLE: Stana Katic Previews ‘Kill Shot’ and Teases an Upcoming Noir Episode

CASTLE’s Beckett has gone through a lot in the three-plus seasons we’ve known her, but in Monday’s brand new episode, fans will see a side of her we’re not used to — vulnerable and out of control. It’s one of my favorite hours the show has done thus far and Stana Katic (Beckett) clearly took the opportunity to shine as Beckett unravels.

I sat down with Katic after her recent SAG Foundation panel and she talked about what it was like to watch “Kill Shot” for the first time (with a whole group of strangers!) and what it took for her to tap into Beckett’s darker place. Plus, is there a noir episode coming our way?!

Take a look…

FRINGE Recap: ‘Wallflower’

“I’ve been investigating Fringe events for three years. I never thought I’d become one.”

Oh, Peter. You are a Fringe event, but unfortunately for you, you aren’t what the team is investigating this week.

Part of the fun of FRINGE for me is their opening credits. I don’t know how closely you pay attention to the words in the various versions (and yes, they are different in each color), but the word that always prompts a chill to run down my spine in this new universe is the inclusion of “existence.” While Peter is the obvious tie-in, tonight’s hour brought a whole new layer of heartbreak to the mix.
