So we’ve made it through the first week of the Fall 2015 season. A lot still hasn’t returned and won’t until October. I’m very excited about “Once Upon A Time’s” return tonight, and after it am hoping to finally make it through “Heroes Reborn,” which is still on my DVD. I’m also still making my way through Season 1 of “How To Get Away With Murder” in order to keep up with Season 2 this year.

“Castle” was the first real show that I watch that returned, and I don’t know what to think. It seems the story with Beckett being hunted, and acting all spy-like, is just a rehash of Castle’s missing time last season in a way. There has also been a lot of speculation that the show plans to break up the newly weds, which would suck if that is true.

“Gotham” also returned. I enjoyed the first episode a lot, mainly because the show is moving more into “Batman” territory. Bruce has found the bat cave, and a league of super villains is being formed. I wasn’t a huge fan of last years mob-centric stories and was getting a little bored with it.

I was surprised how much I liked the “Grey’s” season premier. I thought it would be so different without McDreamy, and it still is, but I really love Meredith and Maggie’s friendship and seeing that blossom. Yay for Bailey being named the new Chief, but the previews for next week seem to have “The Nazi” returning.

I was so glad that “Nashville” did not kill off Deacon. Teddy is definitely in jail, but for how long? Will he turn over Tandy and ruin Rayna’s company, which already seems to be crashing into the ground as is? I feel so bad for Rayna, but once again am hating Juliette. Obviously she’s headed for a huge Scarlett-like meltdown. Scarlett is annoying me too by trying to make her relationship with that doctor work when it’s clear she wants Gunnar. I’m also enjoying Will trying to figure out where he belongs.

For some odd reason I’ve been throwing on “DWTS,” probably just to see the craziness that was Gary Busey. Has anyone noticed how Paula Dean is ALWAYS in the background shots smiling and waving at the camera? I mean she is ALWAYS there!

“Scream Queens” was absolutely amazing! It would seem that the Red Devil killer was likely the baby of the dead sorority girl in the 80s now all grown up, but then they’ve thrown the wrench in there that the baby may be Grace, so she can’t be the killer unless she’s nuts. I loved the twist with Nick Jonas’ character at the end, and of course the “Heathers” reference with all the Chanelles. How weird is it seeing Jeff from “Nashville” on there and not playing a total douche? It looks like he will appear on next week’s “Nashville” only to bow out of the show due to “Scream Queen.”

In other news, both “Mistresses” and “Devious Maids” have earned a 4th season! So happy!

So this post is just about some of the finales that have happened and my thoughts on them.

I pretty much called the Charles twist on “Pretty Little Liars” early on, only I thought it would be Sarah and never suspected they’d bring back CeCe and have her be Charles. We got a lot of answers, which was great. It also pretty much left the show in a hole as to where to go next, so they’ve jumped 5 years ahead and now are being terrorized by someone else, though we don’t know who. It looks like Alison, who is now a teacher herself, has a new stalker. I’m not sure if I like the idea of the time jump. Time will tell. I hope they still keep the parents around.

Over on “The Fosters,” I am thrilled that Rita was cleared and Callie finally got adopted, but this Brandon thing. Oy! I’m so over the two of them. Also it looks like I was absolutely right about the new foster brother’s brother being the driver who hit the Fosters all along. Now we got a new Jesus, who again I would have been happy if he just stayed away. Though maybe it can take some of the focus of Marianna, who I was screaming at for thinking her boyfriend would forgive her. “Well I’ve forgiven myself,” . . . good for you! You still cheated.

Finally over to the amazing “Devious Maids” finally. Holy cow! First I do have to say I was a bit disappointed with Sebastian being the killer. Unexpected, yes. However really? He just went that nuts all of the sudden? Meh! I was sad that they killed Michael off, and giving Spence Amensia and bringing Perry back . . . the worst! Technically Rosie is still his wife, though maybe that got nullified by her own dead husband returning. Oy oy! Of course we know Zoila won’t die, and I really have hope the baby will turn out to be Javier’s and he will come back to her. Or maybe her near death will bring him back. Oh yeah, Adrian can’t be dead! He is the best!

As usual just trying to keep up with some quick thoughts on the shows I’ve been watching!

Big Brother 17
Worst – season – ever. They’ve at least started fighting, but watching these people is dullsville.

Devious Maids
I feel really bad for Carmen getting all “Irene Cara’d” by her label. Maybe she can pull a Prince and change her name to a symbol. Meanwhile Zoila is also about to get the old heave-hoe thanks to Genevieve’s new guy, who I hate. Go back to announcing the dog show dude! Loved that they had Spence counceling Taylor and not screwing her, but what is Michael thinking fooling around with his ex? She’s insane! Maybe that’s it, she’s insane and he’s not doing anything. I hope so.

Extant
I’ve gone from loving the show again to tolerating it. Molly’s son is creepy, and the humanics are basically going all terminator. I can see that the humans will have to team up with the aliens most likely to get rid of the robot problem that is coming.

The Fosters
So it would appear the mystery of who hit the Fosters car has been solved, and it was the owner of the other car’s kid all along, who lied about it being stolen. I was so sure it would be AJ’s brother. Now poor Rita has been possibly set up by her Girls United for beating them. Her own actions with her daughter though make it seem possible that she is an abuser, but I think they just want us to think that.

Falling Skies
I’m hating the turn on the latest episode with the Virginia regimen going totally insane on Tom and his men. It seems obvious they are actually under alien control. Something is wrong with that female captain for sure. There aren’t many episodes left and they seem no closer to winding down when we began this season.

Mistresses
I HATE that Calysta and Joss have turned on one another. This makes me so sad. It’s obvious that either her male assistant or the model her hubby was screwing killed her husband. Karen getting pregnant is going to be interesting, and I still don’t care about April’s story. At least her daughter has the boyfriend/principal’s number.

Pretty Little Liars
I’m ready for the finale and the reveal of Charles, and if we don’t get a reveal then I may need a new TV from the things I throw at it!

Proof
Definitely liking the show a bit more now that we’re exploring the woman with the green scarf warning the Doc to stop looking. Ooh! What isn’t she supposed to find?

Under The Dome
It was clear that the end of the world was orchestrated and that the dome is now just a large TV set showing those inside what they want them to see. You know what I want to see? Pretty much the entire kinship wiped out.

The Whisperers
Like PLL, I hope we get some answers soon. I really dislike the president, who knows his kid has been a target of drill yet still wanted to jail the only people who have leads and a real connection on whatever or whoever drill is.

Zoo
I all but stopped watching this one. I just became bored and figured I’d do a marathon once it was over, if I cared enough to go back.

So “Devious Maids” has been rocking this season so far. Nathan Owens, who played Lexie’s half-brother on “Days,” made his debut this week as a male maid. Marisol is suspicious of him, but he claims he’s a war vet that only wants a job where he can work and not think about the fallen friends he left behind. I would like to think he wouldn’t lie about that, but he strikes me as someone who is up to something. It looks like he may be Marisa’s new love interest for the season.

Cristián de la Fuente has also arrived as Rosie’s not-so-dead ex-husband Ernesto. It seems he really was a cop and he really was held by the Mexican drug cartel. I don’t know, I still think he may have been crooked. Right now Spence is in the dog house for keeping Erensto from Rosie for all of 2 whole seconds. He wanted to break it to her when she was healthy enough, though you could see he was afraid to tell her the truth. However Ernesto wasn’t having that and surprised Rosie at Zoila and Javier’s wedding.

Zoila’s wedding crashed when she told Javier the truth about Pablo’s baby, and he walked out. No! I really am thinking they contaminated the DNA test and in the end the baby will be Javier’s. Zoila needs some happiness.

Carmen is now the Powell’s maid and Adrienne is loving how mean she is to him. Oh brother! Meanwhile Blanca found a bunch of Katie’s drawings of her killing a man, who she claims is her father. Are these what she’s planning for Michael, or did she kill her biological father? I still think Michael might be her bio-father and that is the big secret about her.

Spoilers for the next two shows below!

So “Devious Maids” premiere was last night. I’m still not used to having it on Mondays, and Mondays always seem crowded enough as far as TV goes.

The show opened with Rosie’s wedding and Ethan opening fire. The only person who ended up getting killed was Pablo, and I say good riddance! Genevieve got his kidney and she is all good to go now. Rosie however ended in a 4 month coma that led to a time jump, which has become par for the course on this show.

Michael and Taylor Stappford returned with a mysterious 10 year-oldish daughter named Katie, which they claim they adopted in Guatamala. That’s a lie, and I’m already thinking she is Michael’s real daughter. I’m not sure why they’d lie about that, so there must be a scandal involved with the mother. She seems to hate her father with a passion, and has insane violent tendencies. Naya Rivera (Santana from “Glee”) made her debut as their new maid Blanca, who was shocked to find Taylor cleaning up an insane amount of blood in her living room, presumably something Katie did.

Carmen and Marisol got into a tiff. Marisol’s book became a hit and she made all these snobby rich friends, and Carmen felt she had gotten too good for the rest of them. Marisol felt Carmen had become a mistress to her new lover played by Giles Marini. Carmen broke things off with him when she realized he was just using her it seems, and Marisol realized her new friends weren’t really her kind of people. With Giles becoming a main cast member this season, it seems he will be back.

Ziola hid her pregnancy as long as she could, but finally had to tell her boyfriend Javier. Unfortunately the baby is not his, but Pablo’s, but she didn’t tell him that part. She tried, but she couldn’t. Oh brother! I really like these two together and Zoila is going to blow this!

The Powells’ marriage is back on track, except in the bedroom department. Adrienne can’t get it up, but during a party Evelyn threw he met a dominatrix who briefly tortured him by stepping on his hand when she ordered him to pick up something she dropped. Now he’s all about the torture, though Evelyn thinks it’s gross. He’s gone and found his own “Fifty Shades” club to get turned on at. I love these two as well, so I hope Adrienne doesn’t screw things up with his wife again.

Spence had to turn to soft core porn in order to pay the bills, which didn’t please Rosie. There was no mention of the fact that her husband down in Mexico was found at the end of last season. She still seems to believe he was a cop, but it seems he was involved in the drug trade from what we saw last year.

At the end of the show Evelyn found a severed human leg in her garden. We don’t know who or what or why, but it seems like Katie could be the killer given all the blood in the Stappford house. That and the fact she cut herself on one of Adrienne’s swords at the Powell’s party and seemed to enjoy the idea of blood.

Spoilers for June below!

Holy cannoli! I can’t believe it’s June 1st already. I still have to get so many season finally thoughts written up. This has been a busy year for me and my blogs slacked.

Anyways, here’s some of the shows I’m planning on watching this summer, some of which return starting tonight! I’m sure there are more I may add, I just can’t think of them off hand. I’m also waiting for the “How To Get Away With Murder” DVD of season 1 to come out to binge watch it.

Devious Maids – Season 3 premieres Monday June 1st (new day and time!)

The Whisperers – Season premiere tonight June 1st on ABC. I’m hoping this doesn’t suck too much.

Pretty Little Liars – New season Tuesday June 2nd! I can’t wait after the big twist if the twin twist.

Mistresses – Season 3 premiere Thursday June 18th. Here is hoping the show can carry on without Alissa/Savy and still do well.

Under the Dome – Season 3 premiere Thursday June 25th. They say we will finally get answers this season!

Extant – Season 2 premieres July 1st. I don’t know where this one will go after last year’s finale.

Big Brother 17 – Premieres June 25th on CBS. I’m not sure why I still watch this, other than it’s fun to talk about on social media.

TNT’s Falling Skies – Final season premieres June 28th. I honestly didn’t finish last season, because it was so boring. I should probably get on that.

Let me know what you plan on watching this summer!

LIFETIME RENEWS DEVIOUS MAIDS FOR THIRD SEASON

Hit Series from Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria to Return with 13 All-New Episodes in 2015

It’s been a Devious two years at Lifetime and the network is set to get even more Devious in 2015. Lifetime has renewed its hit series Devious Maids (#DeviousMaids, #DeviousArmy) for a third season, placing a 13-episode order for the program executive produced by Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria, and starring Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramírez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy Ganem, Judy Reyes and Susan Lucci. Produced by ABC Studios, Devious Maids will return next year. The announcement was made today by Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Lifetime.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Devious Maids back for another season. Marc Cherry has created a uniquely twisted world that blends his comic wit with devilishly ingenious characters and plot twists,” said Sharenow.

Season two of Devious Maids, which concluded July 13th, fueled Lifetime to be the number one cable network in its Sunday 10-11pm time period with Total Females, Women 18+, Women 25-54 and Women 18-49. In its freshman season, the series was Lifetime’s fastest-growing drama ever.

So sunday night closed out “Devious Maids” season two with the finale. As of yet there is no word on whether the show will get a season 3. Many news outlets believe it could go either way by the numbers. After the final scene, we need this show back!

The not-so shocking secret that finally came out was that Nick did run over the Powell’s son Barrett. Dahlia was in the car distracting him with news that she was sleeping with Opal when Barrett darted out in front of him. Nick went off to tell the cops after confessing to the Powells. Is this the end of Nick? I have some thoughts on that later.

Carmen met a man who helped her get a potential record deal with Sony records. She also really liked him, and they slept together (guest star Gilles Marini). Only later did she learn he was married, and the record exec that he gave her demo to is his wife! Opps!

Zoila finally made her choice between the two men in her life and showed the door to Pablo in favor of Javier. Once she did this, Pablo, who was set to give Genevieve a kidney, took it back. The jerk! Then Zoila learned she was pregnant, and the father could be either one of the men. Oh brother!

After Rosie helped Mr. Kenneth oust Reggie and reunite with his wife and daughter, she was surprised by a proposal from Spence. He wanted to marry her, but also make sure she stayed in the country and he didn’t lose her again. We later learned after their very quick marriage that Rosie’s supposedly dead husband in Mexico is alive! He’s been held captive by a drug cartel for years.

At the wedding, as everyone came out of the church to celebrate, Spence’s deranged nephew pulled up in a car. Carmen saw him in time to yell at everyone to get down. He pulled a ski mask down over his face and open fired, trying to kill Valentina so she wouldn’t rat him and his friends out about the burglary gang. The final shot showed blood splattering on the bouquet.

I can’t believe they left us with that ending! I have a feeling if the show comes back, we will be several months later in time. Someone in the wedding party will have died, and that kidney will go to Genevieve. Hopefully someone not important, a friend of someone for example. I think because of the circumstances of the hit-and-run, Nick will only serve minimal time and will be back out. Whether he’s still with Marisol or not could go either way. Zoila will be ready to pop, and should know who the father is by then. I think someone will end up in a coma from the shooting and still be in it when the show returns. Likely poor Valentina, as she was set to move to New York and work in some fashion house that the Powell’s owned. I worry if Carmen was hit, she will have vocal damage or something. Finally Rosie’s husband will show up on her and Spence’s happy doorstep.

It feels like “Devious Maids” just started, and now we are counting down to the finale. Here are my thoughts on the various story lines on the show.

I feel like poor Carmen kinda got the shaft this season. She lost Alejandro and Odessa and ended up stuck babysitting Spence and his crazy nephew. Her and Spence getting drunk was funny at first, but Spence is going to end up wrecking his life and ruining any chance of getting his kid back. However I do think that Peri will eventually realize her kid is a drag on her life and will ship him back to Spence. She never wanted to be a mother and only seemed to take the kid to hurt Spence and look like the hero in all of this.

Poor Rosie, she always ends up in the craziest of households. I hope she is able to take down Mr. Reggie and help Mr. Kenneth and soon! This storyline started out fun with the daughter and new-wife at each other, but it has turned way too sad and sadistic.

Zoila’s romance has been on back-burner thanks to Genevieve’s illness and her cranky mother coming to town. Based on the spoilers below, we will get back to her hot chef soon enough. I really hope things work out for them and she doesn’t go back to her louse of a husband!

Valentina and Remy finally figured out that Ethan is involved in with the house robbers that shot and killed Alejandro. Even though he told her it was an accident, Valentina finally saw the light and dumped his ass. She told him to tell the cops, she wouldn’t, but Remy likely would if he didn’t. Unfortunately she’s been driving around with blood in her backseat, which the cops have discovered. Hello she’s been working as a maid, why didn’t she clean that up by now?

It seems like Tony has a gal on the side and he’s working on a con-job involving Adrian and Evelyn. Hopefully they will get through this and work things out, as they are too much fun. The episode with the camera’s all over the house was hilarious.

It’s really looking like Nick did in fact kill Adrian and Evelyn’s son, as he blurted out what he did to Marisol while under pain meds. He all but named who he killed, saying it was an accident and that he didn’t see him, he just darted out in front of his car. Marisol is heartbroken and has taken off her wedding ring. By the end of this season Nick, Ethan and crazy Opal will all be in prison.

Spoilers for the final three episodes below!
