T.T.T.TV. (April 23)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Reality TV Tuesday

1. Hell's Kitchen (Fox 8/7c)


Gordon Ramsay tried something new last episode, he took the chef coats of four contestants and they would only get them back by earning them. Although he has been trying some new stuff, the good ol' f-bomb dropping chef is still berating the contestants and he seems to be losing patience faster than normal. Now, when you put all the ridiculous characters in the group, you get some great interaction between the contestants and chef Ramsay. And in the preview clip it looks like someone might try and talk back to the head chef which could turn out to be quite exciting.

2. The Voice (NBC 8/7)


I have only one thing to say about the fourth season of the Voice, I want there to be more battles like Judith Hill and Karina Iglesias. NBC/The Voice executives, please take that into consideration.

3. Robot Combat League (Syfy 10/9c)


The finale of the first ever giant robot fighting league airs tonight! That means Crash will face Steam Punk in the domed circle, for the championship. I can't wait to hear if they are bringing it back for another season of this giant robot demolition derby.

Honorable Mention

Storage Wars (A&E 9/8c & 9:30/8:30c)


Two new episodes? Yuuuuuuuup!

T.T.T.TV. (April 16)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Reality TV Tuesday

1. The Voice (NBC 8/7c)


The first couple of battles were hit and miss(happily mostly hits). Since there are still some artists that I'm excited to see I think the battle rounds can only get better. I'm assuming that there will be three performances tonight and I think with the artists left in play we could be in for a terrific night of sing-to-the-death type of performances(no one dies). Side Note: My Voice Rankings will be happening every Wednesday after the two episodes of the week,

2. Hell's Kitchen (Fox 8/7c)


Last episode we left off with Chef Ramsay calling up four chefs and taking all there jackets. Will he eliminate all four? Or will he just switch them all teams? It's probably the latter since it's still early in the season but you shouldn't be surprised if Gordon Ramsay does anything out of the ordinary.

3. Robot Combat League (Syfy 10/9c)


Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like. Two people control (one the lower body, the other the upper body) a seven foot eight hundred pound robot while they had to smash another robot with there robot. The show is at the semi finals of the tournament so if you jump in now you will be seeing the best robots fighting and not some of the early ones that were made more for aesthetics. And if you do watch just remember when you see these robots smash each other and think "they are just bumping each other," that they are metal giants using hydraulic actuators to send steal fists at each other. If you still think it's corny I think you should stand in from of one of these robots and take a punch.

T.T.T.TV (March 5)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Reality TV Tuesday and Justified

1. Justified (FX 10/9c)


The hunt for Drew Thompson is in full effect. Boyd and his team think they know who it is and Raylan has a man in his custody that knows Drew's real identity. Who will figure out the mystery first (I hope it's the fans). If that wasn't enough for you to watch this episode, here is another reason you should: Patton Oswalt. Yup the very popular comedian is back to reprise his guest role as volunteer cop. (That's a level lower than rent-a-cop right?)

2. The Robot Combat League (Syfy 10/9c)


When you first start watching this show, your first thoughts are probably, "oh this is super cheesy." And that was my first reaction to. The limited amount of movement possible by the robots, the fact that the first challenge was a knock-a-plate-off-a-robots-chest challenge, and during the fight the pyro every time one of the robots gets hit in a targeted area. It was all too much for me until the end of the first round or the first robot battle. Crash  the robot controlled by a father/daughter team, a cable had come lose on their robots arm leaving it useless. The team had 20 minutes between rounds to fix the arm and (it might have been edited this way) it came right down to the last minute. When Crash came out in the second round I thought for sure the opponent was going to win, until Crash got in a dominate position and literally snapped the other robots arm into, then continued to pummel it until it could no longer move. Crash was the first Robot Combat League winner and I can't wait to see what happens tonight.
 
3. The Ultimate Fighter (FX 9/8c)


After Uriah, Clint Hester is my favorite to win the tournament. I can't wait to see him smash the guy he is fighting tonight. Let's get it on!

T.T.T.TV (Feb 26)

Tonight's Top Three on TV


Hey Everybody It's Choose-day!

1. Justified (FX 10/9c)


We finally got our first Raylan giving someone an ultimatum and then shooting that person for not complying. Gosh, I love when he does that. This week it looks like Boyd might be the one shooting someone. Whatever way you play it Justified is at it's best when people are being threatened and then shot. Maybe that's just me.

2. Face Off (Syfy 9/8c)


This week the contestants have to team up to create an original werewolf from another planet. I am so pumped to see what they come up with and how Anthony will bounce back from being in the bottom last week.

3. Robot Combat League (Syfy 10/9c)


It's the first ever episode of the RCL and let me tell you, ever since Battle Bots ended there has been a void in my life that only fighting robots can fill. Now it's here, actual robots that are actually fighting. Not only that Chris Jericho is the host!
