Analysis:

1. Wǒ jīn tiān nǎ ér dōu bù xiǎnɡ qù,    jiù xiǎnɡ zài jiā kàn diàn shì.
1. 我  今   天  哪 儿   都  不   想    去 , 就   想    在  家  看   电   视 。
I don’t feel like going anywhere today, I just want to stay home and watch TV.

The blank should be filled in a location. ”哪儿都不想去nǎ ér dōu bù xiǎnɡ qù” means ”don’t want to go anywhere.” When the interrogative word “哪儿nǎ ér” is combined with “都不dōu bù”, it means “don’t want to go anywhere.”

2. Tā shén me dōu bù chī,  zhǐ shì zài nà lǐ kū.

“什么都不shén me dōu bù”…… means “don’t do(or other verbs) anything.”
