“Psych,” “The Americans’ New on Cable Wednesday

James Roday (Rodriguez) comes back for a 101st episode and a mob wedding in a new episode of Psych at 10P on USA, opposite Maximiliano Hernández in the paranoid world of the ancient espionage on The Americans, at 10P on FX.

Benjamin Bratt is Back on “Modern Family”

He’s suave, he’s sophisticated and he’s the fictional ex-husband of Sofia Vergara and Rico Rodriguez’ father on Modern Family. And he’s back on a new episode tonight at 9P on ABC. Then at 10P, Jay Hernandez continues his arc on Nashville also on ABC. Over on TNT, Carmen Corral and Javier Nunez continue their arcs and Christina Ferraro guest star onSouthland at 10P.

“Voice,” “NCIS,” NCIS:LA,” “Golden Boy,” and Maybe More on Tuesday

Shakira still in The Voice at 8P on NBC, and Cote de Pablo’s definitely around on CBS’ NCIS, also at 8. Then Mark Espinoza guest stars on NCIS: Los Angeles at 9P on CBS. Kevin Alejandro is on board for one of the (probably) last episodes of Golden Boy at 10P on CBS, and Marisa Ramirez’ arc seems to be continuing on ABC’s Body of Proof, also at 10P.

“Ready for Love” is Ready for Prime Time

We here at Se Fija! don’t generally cover reality shows, even the good ones–and even the  ones that, now and then, have Latinos involved. But Ready For Love, premiering tonight on NBC, deserves at least a little attention, for two reasons:

1) Eva Longoria is one  of its creators and producers

2) Two of the “bachelors” at the center of the matchmaking competition are Latino

The concept is certainly reaching for the higher end of the market. It has ‘top’ matchmakers, a lovely, famous real-life married couple as hosts, and Ms. Longoria prominent in the promotions and present as one of the executive producers.

The two heart-throbs are simply too good to be true: Tim Lopez, 31, a member of the Grammy-nominated band The Plain White T’s, and Ernest Arguello, a millionaire housing magnate and the son of Cuban and Nicaraguan refugees. These are not just awesomely good-looking guys, but admirable people as well–exactly the kind of role models that young Latinos deserve, even in this context. We can only hope that the women competing for their attention (a group that includes at least a few Latinas, like Alba Reyes, Kristina Zapata, Alexis Rodriguez, and Lynsee Gonzales) will be a little more stable and a little less desperate than the women of the other predatory matchmaking shows.

“Cougar Town” Finishes Its Season with a Twofer

Ian Gomez and the rest of the slightly crazy crew of the cul-de-sac faded from view just a bit when they moved down the dial from ABC to TBS, but TBS is very happy with their performance, if not their prominence: they’ve already renewed it for another season, and they’re finishing up this round with new episodes at 10P and 10:30P Tuesday night.

Even more on cable Monday: “Bates,” “Secret Life,” “Monday,” and two hours of “Dallas”

Latinos are part of some of cable’s most interesting programming–as usual–with new episodes of Secret Life of the American Teenager with Francia Raisa, 8P on ABC Family; two new back-to-back episode of Cynthia Cidre’s Dallas with Marlene Forte, her “daughter” Jordana Brewster and so many other, 8P and 9P on TNT, Alfred Molina scaring his doctors on Monday Mornings, 10P on TNT, and Nestor Carbonell scaring everybody at 10P on A&E.

Rita Moreno Opens Up on “Cafecito”

NBCLatino does lots of great programming, and recently Feliciano Garcia’s program Cafecito did a terrific two-part interview with one of our very favorite icon: Rita Moreno. In the clip below, you see her open up about a wide variety of sensitive subjects, including her tumultuous affair with Marlon Brando, her contemplation of suicide when that ended, her great times on Sesame Street, and her current work with Fran Drescher on TVLand’s Happily Divorced. It’s great to sit down one more time with a living legend–and “one happy Puerto Rican,” click on the image below:
