Wade, also a racist subway shooter and a debate about whether or not the death penalty should come into play.

Rollins and Carisi's love will endure despite her exiting. Molly Burnett (Days of Our Lives) joins the series as detective Grace Muncy.

I <3 Jared

And because I just love Jared Padalecki I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Walker enters it's third season on the CW and is also launching a spinoff series called Walker Independence and both are premiering on 10.6 on the CW @ 8 and 9pm. 

Friday

What Am I Watching?

All CBS!

Wow I am loving the Friday night line up on CBS premiering on 10.7, it's so good! S.W.A.T. moves nights with Shemar Moore and company back for Season 6. Hondo and Nichelle are on their babymoon in Bangkok while some of the team is also there for training exercises. Things go horribly wrong when Hondo's old military friend surfaces and they become entangled with a case related to the drug trade. 

New series Fire County premieres between two veteran shows in the 9pm timeslot. Max Thieriot (SEAL Team) stars in and co wrote the series about Northern California firefighters that worked in the forests near where he grew up. 

Blue Bloods in it's 13th Season never fails to deliver, especially on the family front. Erin is running for District Attorney. Jamie goes to Erin when a perp that he got off the streets is being released and he is a target. Erin starts to feel bad that her office keeps endangering people she cares about. 

Back soon for my Sunday night recap.
