“After the Early Shift.” The state of Kentucky. 5:53 a.m. It was one hour before dawn inside the “Thermo Fisher” where-house. Michelle Mockbee had gone in before the actual work started. She was head of payroll. When other workers got to the where-house. They found her face down and lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

Michelle’s husband Dan Mockbee was asleep at home. 13 co-workers were on site that morning. Police believed that none of them had anything to do with Michelle’s murder. She was dragged from her office and the killer tried to wipe the blood off the floor. There are security cameras everywhere and a red truck left at the time Michelle was killed. That truck belonged to David Dooley who was a janitor. There was also another man seen on a security camera 10 hours before the murder. Who is he…?

Desmond Harrington is added to cast of 'Elementary' for Season 6

ELEMENTARY on CBS. A new character is added every TV season to work with either Sherlock and/or Joan. The crime drama has been renewed for a 6th TV season. CBS announced that Desmond Harrington ("Dexter" on Showtime) has been added to the series as a regular. 

Remember, in the season finale of the 5th TV season. Sherlock went to the hospital to get a brain Cat-Scan. He was beginning to forget things and seeing a woman who wasn't there. Joan Watson was dealing with the funeral of "Shinwell" whom she tried to help. They both had been arguing which is not unusual. (I like these extra characters who always challenge Sherlock and Watson).

'America's Got Talent' 2017 Judges Cuts 'Colin Cloud'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. Colin Cloud is moving onto the first "Live" show. He is a crime scene investigator who can read people's body language and their minds. He is fun to watch and mind blowing. (I picked "The Clairvoyants" to win in 2016, but they placed 2nd. They were a couple who could read minds). Let's see what Colin does during the "Live" shows...,

'America's Got Talent' 2017 Judges Cuts 'Puddles Pity Party'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. Well, the second round has many of the talent acts not stepping up. The sad clown, "Puddles Pity Party" sung "All by Myself" and made it his own. He doesn't speak, but he sings beautifully. All the judges liked him, but Heidi doesn't like him as much. (It's just my opinion, but, I think she's mad because her favorite, the opera singer, was cut last week). 

Nonetheless, "Puddles" is a TV fan favorite who is receiving great "Reaction" videos on YouTube. I like him because he's original and I cannot wait to see what song he will sing next. He has moved up to my second favorite talent act this TV season. He moves onto the first "Live" show and could make the top 10 finalists...,

Go below to watch "Puddles Pity Party" in the second round.

'America's Got Talent' 2017 second Judges Cuts

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. This is the second week of the Judges Cuts and it was a tough one. They had to cut down 20 talent acts to only 7. "Chase Goehring" (singer) received the Golden Buzzer and he automatically goes to the first Live TV show. The other chosen 6 include, "Mirror Image" (variety act), "Colin Cloud" (mind reader), "Puddles Pity Party" (sad singing clown), "Yoli Mayor" (singer), "Evie Clair" (singer) and "Junior & Emily" (salsa dancers).

I was not impressed with "Mirror Image" and felt they shouldn't have gone through. I also felt bad for the chicken that can play the piano. It's a bad year for comedians as one more didn't make the cut. 

Below is the Second week video of the Judges Cuts (YouTube Fan Edit).

“Deadly Denial.” 2008. A single mom, meets a single dad and they get married. Her name is Vanessa and his name is Raven. Everything was perfect until his past came up. Raven’s first wife Janet was murdered during a home invasion. Vanessa supported him early on and so did Janet’s parents. 

2005. Janet was stabbed three times inside her home. Raven claimed he was at a soccer game and returned home to find his wife killed. Her murder went cold even though police found a bloody shoe print, a finger print and DNA on a door handle. None of it was connected to Raven or Janet. Friends say Raven was “Dr. Jekyll and My Hyde.” He was nice to Janet and then he’d switch to anger in a second…,

'America's Got Talent' 2017 the Judges make the cuts

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. I must say, that you have to "wow" the judges and the audience in the second round. Unfortunately, many didn't surpass their audition performances. That includes the two comedians who just flopped in my opinion. Their auditions were so much better. Next week is the second round of cuts.

Below is part "Two" of the "Judges Cuts" 

'America's Got Talent' 2017 the Judges make the cuts

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. The judges made some tough decisions, but made the right ones. You have to step-it-up in the second round and many didn't. A few years back, they had to perform in Las Vegas with only the judges as their audience. Many cracked under the pressure which I think is a lot tougher. So, here we are in 2017 and several talent acts stepped-it-way-up and will be going to the next round. Remember, this is for the $1 million dollars and a Las Vegas headlining show. 

Below is part "One" of the "Judges Cuts."

'America's Got Talent' 2017 first Judges Cuts 'Demian Aditya'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. I watch every year and I vote too. I don't recap the auditions. The first "Judges Cuts" was last night and only 7 talent acts can go through to the first live show. I usually pick my favorite on the second round and I'm choosing "Demian Aditya" who is an illusionist. He keeps fooling the judges and the audience. He made the cut and will head to the next round. I think he will go to the top 5 if he keeps fooling all of us...,

'America's Got Talent' 2017 the First Judges Cuts 'Angelica Hale'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. I watch every year and I vote every year too. I don't recap the auditions. The first "Judges Cuts" began last night and only 7 talent acts can go through to the first live show. Angelica Hale received the Golden Buzzer from a visiting judge. She automatically heads to the live show. She's only 9-years-old and sung a song by Alicia Keyes called, "This Girl is on Fire."
