TVLine Asks: Did DWTS Host Hear From Fresh Prince? Was 9-1-1 Giving Orville? Is #Manstead Doomed? And More!
We've got questions, and maybe you've got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we're lobbing queries left and right about Dancing With the Stars, 9-1-1, Chicago Med and more!
1 | Saturday Night Live has five female cast members — yet they used Sarah Sherman and Chloe Fineman in back-to-back restaurant sketches, seated in the exact same spots. Couldn't one of those parts have gone to featured players Ashley Padilla, Veronika Slowikowska or Jane Wickline (who didn't even get a sketch in the premiere)?
2 | Given that Tulsa King's Grace called Goodie to be the adult in the (bingo) room, were you surprised that he was on board with the crew's ill-advised, make-it-rain, post-mission visit to the strip club?
3 | Considering how many great musical numbers Family Guy has blessed us with over the years — "Have You Ever Put Butter on a Pop Tart" anyone? — were you extremely let down by Brian and Stewie's weak sauce Halloween number in this week's Hulu special?
4 | Is there any show currently airing that has a better soundtrack than The Lowdown?
5 | Seeing how the first three legs of The Amazing Race went down, are we about to watch the most predictable season in franchise history?
6 | Since we now know there's a tribe swap happening next week on Survivor, are you hoping Jeff shuffles the castaways into two groups instead of three? And has the scary sea-snake bite made any Survivor hopefuls think twice about applying to the show?
7 | Here's something we never thought we'd ask (and are almost afraid to): Is The Simpsons' Superintendent Chalmers... kinda hot?
8 | On The Challenge, shouldn't Gabe have respected Jonna more, seeing as she's a two-time winner? And how surprised were you by how poorly Yeremi and Aviv did on that daily challenge?
9 | Now that Monster: The Ed Gein Story has been out for a week, which of its visual(s) are featured most centrally in your nightmares?
10 | Chicago Med fans, how do you think the shooting will affect Will and Natalie's relationship? Will they be able to overcome this tragedy together, or will it tear #Manstead apart?
11 | Were you expecting Ritter's exit on Chicago Fire to be a bit more emotional? Didn't it feel sort of anticlimactic?
12 | How soon after Dancing With the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro said dance pro Jan Ravnik made a better Genie than Will Smith do you think he got a text from his former Fresh Prince co-star?
13 | Which Shifting Gears green screen looked worse — Matt at Eve's front door, or the golf course during their first date?
14 | The Morning Show fans: How many times did you physically cringe while watching Yanko's Rick Astley-inspired proposal rehearsal?
15 | We'll preface this Law & Order: SVU inquiry by saying we understand that being a series regular on a broadcast procedural these days doesn't guarantee you'll appear in every episode... but isn't it a bit odd that they brought Kelli Giddish back as a regular, only for Rollins to be MIA in Episodes 2 and 3? And speaking of disappearing characters: Were you satisfied with Velasco's sendoff?
16 | Are we absolutely positive that All's Fair isn't a covert second season of Ratched?
17 | Is this a niche qualm, or is anyone else also getting annoyed that Peacock is now including Watch What Happens Live episodes within the Real Housewives queues? Aren't they different shows?! As much as we love Andy Cohen, why must a new episode of his late-night show interrupt our Housewives binges?
18 | Given how much heat Shemar Moore got from fans for his initial response to S.W.A.T. EXILES — a spinoff that isn't bringing back any of his former co-stars as series regulars — did you find it surprising when he suggested EXILES will be "better" than the OG in his statement marking the start of production?
19 | Did 9-1-1 take inspiration from The Orville for Athena and Hen's spacesuits?
20 | OK, Outlander: Blood of My Blood viewers: What's your best guess as to which [Spoiler] (if any!) went through the stones? Did you, too, wish Brian and Ellen's hands were cleaner when they made their blood oath? And have you ever 'shipped a couple faster in your life than the one that was established during the supersized finale?
