I Hate MY Teenage Daughter

[CMPunk]

Networks would be nice

[Bigtime]

Time to set the PVR again. Can't wait for Modern Family and American Dad.

[HPLovecraft]

I can't wait for the new season of LOST.

[Methanolic]

Looking forward to Community, The Office, Modern Family and Dexter.

Also looking forward to calling shaw and canceling a crap load of services. There truly is very little on TV worth watching.

[Guest1]

Is there anyway to get SOA if we're in Canada?

No Chuck until November, the **** is this bull****. Getting shafted until Fridays, only 13 episodes and not until November. NBC hates Chuck.

But **** it, let's watch Dancing with the Monkeys, America has no Talent, and a god damn Whitney Cummings sit-com. Holy damn I hate you NBC.

I swear if they cancel Parks & Rec and Community this year as well, I am going to burn their building to the ground.

Edit: Looks like October 21, not November for Chuck.

[nieuwy-89]

Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, and Walking Dead should keep my PVR humming this fall.

Any word on when Mad Men returns?

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, and Walking Dead should keep my PVR humming this fall.

Any word on when Mad Men returns?

I'm guessing April or so. AMC has Walking Dead starting in October, and that will run till late January. Then they have a new western show(Hell on Wheels) starting after that and I'm guessing Mad Men will start Season 5 after that.

[rubecube]

No "Eastbound and Down?" :(

[Hockey_Ninja]

Looking forward to Chuck and The Office

[TurnedTheCorner]

Looks like I'm gonna miss a couple of weeks until I get the cable re-enabled in time for hockey season...unless I turn it on for Sep 20 for the preseason. Decisions, decisions.

[Aegypticus]

Any word on Spartacus?

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Any word on Spartacus?

By Jupiter's ####, it's supposed to start in early 2012.


Gratitude.

[trackercowe]

I can't wait for the new season of LOST.

Are you going to bother checking out that show with Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson) in it? Sounds sort of like Minority Report.

Person of Interest: Centers on ex-CIA hitman and a scientist who team up to prevent crimes before they happen.

Worth checking out just for Emerson.

[Bigtime]

Got the PVR all set last night, forgot to mention I can't wait for Community too. Alison Brie, yum.

[Boblobla]

Looking forward to all my cop dramas. I am interested to see if Prime Suspect is any good. I like the British version of the show, even though I have only seen it a few times.

[fredr123]

Odd move there by NBC moving Sunday Night Football to Thursday. Is this a one time thing or will Thursday be the new Sunday? /smartass

Opening night for the NFL now always begins on the Thursday, with the Superbowl winner vs. another top team (Packers vs. Saints). After the first week they will go back to regularly scheduled Sunday night games (I think they have a Sunday night game the first week as well).

[Machiavelli]

nvm...mistaken

[Acey]

No Chuck until November, the **** is this bull****. Getting shafted until Fridays, only 13 episodes and not until November. NBC hates Chuck.

Chuck's ratings are AWFUL. The only reason it's still on is because all of NBC's other shows also have poor ratings so it doesn't look as bad. Be thankful it's still on, period.

nvm...mistaken

Hell yes. Love this show.

Sorry, dude. No idea how my edit didn't show up until now, but I didn't realize I was initially looking at the UK version of Shameless.

No word on when US Shameless starts again.

January 8.

And that's all right, I was actually thinking of the UK version. I watch both.

And also to fans of Chuck, I wasn't trying to come across as a ###### nozzle. But I closely follow TV ratings, and in these days when broadcast networks are struggling to keep their shows afloat, it's hard to justify a show with a small following.

It's funny, on the Hulu "best of show", it came down to Community and Chuck and Chuck ended up winning "Best Show". It's funny because both shows get pretty crappy ratings (Chuck's are worse), but both are among my favorite shows.

It isn't NBC's fault Chuck does so horrible, it is the 40 million ######ed Americans who choose to watch Dancing with the ****tards rather than good shows.

Most of my favorite shows get such terrible ratings, Chuck, Community, Parks and Rec, Fringe. Then shows like Big Bang Theory which I used to like but has gradually gotten rather terrible just increases in ratings.

American's taste in television is dreadful.

[Acey]

Premium cable is what we've got now... broadcast networks can't take the risk on new shows cause they just fail too quickly, apparently the exceptions are Terra Nova and Alcatraz, into which FOX is dumping a billion dollars. I'll survive with Dexter, Breaking Bad, Shameless, Justified, and Sons of Anarchy if all my broadcast dramas end up dead.

Angel, Firefly like this post

There's actually no reason to invest in new shows unless you know they're going to survive. Why get into the plot lines if the show is suddenly going to be gone.

If the show doesn't have moron's going through drug rehab partying or getting boob jobs it just ain't going to survive.

[Acey]

The sad thing, Chuck pulls in more than twice the ratings as the above shows.

Apples to oranges. You can stick a coat hanger on your TV and get NBC for free... not Showtime, AMC, and FX.

Most people think broadcast is failing because people are torrenting shows and playing video games... but the overall TV audience is about the same, just everyone is shifting to cable.

[Azure]

The sad thing, Chuck pulls in more than twice the ratings as the above shows.

Easy to do if you can put up NBC with rabbit ears, and most basic packages include it for no additional fee.

Either way, those other shows are all better than Chuck. Way, way better.

This is the site I use to keep track of which shows air when. They seem to do pretty good with keeping up to date with new shows, start date, and when it ends.

American's taste in television is dreadful.

Taste is relative . . . . . . the way I see it, the shows that have the best ratings win the "taste" test and everything else is eclectic which means your taste is awful. I love Community as well.

That goes for music as well. I can only assume my taste in music is terrible because I hate Rap yet its very popular.

Not exactly a premiere but a summer 2011 offering, I've liked Combat Hospital to date.

Its a hit in Canada, probably because of its unabashedly Canadian tone, but on shaky ground in the USA where ABC has shaved one episode off its schedule heading into September.

Terrific episode last week. DVR'ed last night but haven't seen it yet.

It could be one of those shows cancelled in the USA but continuing on in Canada.

I'm old school in my taste, I love smart T.V., but I'm not a fan of long story arcs because if you miss an episode your boned, this was why I lost interest in Lost for a while. You also always get that feeling that your going to be stephen King'd. Great series terrific buildup, lame stupid dumba$$ ending ie Lost, Seinfeld.

And I like Combat Hospital as well because they make Canadians look good and to an extent heroic.

[kipperfan]

Not mentioned in the OP (probably because it is a Canadian show..) but Dragon's Den premieres tomorrow night on CBC. Hopefully the new Dragon can fill Brett's shoes.

[csnarpy]

really pissed Rules Of Engagement has been moved to Saturday...wtf. Guess they are going to kill it off.

[CaptainCrunch]

Ringer premiered tonight, how can you go wrong with Sarah Michelle Gellar as a drug addict stripper?

[Kybosh]

I was just flipping the channels tonight and watched Camelot on CBC. I think that it was the premier and it wasn't half bad. It even had a tad bit of boobage. Looks like a pretty good cast too.

[Pacem]

Primieres starting in full force now. Thought i'd bump this thread.


Watch that Up All Night. I found it to be really funny. It was a pilot episode so it was a bit rough around the edges, but entertaining. I'm fan of Will Arnett so i'm sure im biased, but I was laughing alot. It was on later on during the week, seen it while I was flipping channels and rewatched the same episode. Still giggled.

[bradster57]

My guess is that Two and a Half Men will have wicked ratings tonight and the ratings will decline steadily throughout the rest of the season.

I watched that pilot episode for that new show with Christina Applegate, and honestly it seemed like they were trying too hard to be funny. It was like a poorly done version of 30 Rock with an overweight Christina Applegate instead of Tina Fey.

[Temporary_User]

I get the new shows coming out sent to me for work.
Watched the show "new girl" the other week, it is definitely one I will be watching. We'll see how it goes throughout the season though.

The new show with Tim Allen (can't recall name at the moment) was horrible. I couldn't even get through half of it.

[Regulator75]

Castle premiers tonight. I liked the season finale, so I'll be watching this one.

[OilKiller]

Watched Ringer and The Secret Circle. Two new CW shows. Typically CW shows, but not bad just the same. I'll give them a few more watches.

Watched Up All Night and Free Agents. Both were mediocre at best IMO. I'll give them another episode, but not sure I'll continue to watch them.

Overweight? Are you serious?


I didn't mind the show. There were a few good parts, but overall, meh. I really like the three leads, Will Arnett, Christina Applegate and Mya Rudolph, so I am hoping it improves.

Free Agents was another meh.

I tried the Ringer and it was another one that I thought was okay. I am not the biggest fan of SMG though, so that may be why I wasn't impressed. It just seemed very predictable and poorly acted. I may give it another go if I remember.

Secret Circle I didn't even bother because it just looks dumb to me, frankly.

I'm looking forward to seeing Raising Hope. I thought it was cute. I am also looking forward to seeing Suburgatory. I like Jeremy Sisto.

I also have high hopes for Supernatural. I hope it's more consistent than last season and gets off to a better start.

[IliketoPuck]

Overweight might be a bit harsh. But Christina Applegate from Anchorman she is not.

[Eastern Girl]

A tad harsh? Chick isn't even remotely close to being overweight. Jesus.

If so, what time and channel?

At 9, on the Comedy Network.

The Shaw guide is showing 11pm.

[CaptainCrunch]

Wow, that was a terrible start and funeral

And now they're rolling out the endless guest stars.

[The Yen Man]

So the season premiere of Two and a Half Men was....alright I guess. I didn't think it was terrible, but then it wasn't very good either. They took a ton of pot shots at Charlie Sheen. It gave off the feeling like the producers and writers hate his guts.

How I Met Your Mother was also ok. Again it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't extremely good either. I must say though, the girl who plays Nora is smoking hot.

[3 Justin 3]

I want to get back into How I Met Your Mother but my god was the last season and even the one before it just horrible. I never found the show to be that funny anyway (NPH is the only one I find funny on the show), but last season, from the ep's I watched, was terrible.

I watched the first episode of Free Agents, at best it is just 'meh'. It's only a pilot and I'll continue to watch until about episode 4-6, but if it doesn't improve, good bye.

I'm really looking forward to Terra Nova the most when it comes to new shows. The amount of money behind it is insane so the production value should be pretty damn good.

Also, Thursdays are insane, Big Bang Theory, Community, Parks and Rec, The Office, The League. Like my god, then on Fridays I got Fringe and Chuck. Thursdays are crazy good.

I forgot to add Playboy Club or w/e it's called. I watch Big Bang Theory for Kaley Cuoco and will watch Playboy Club for Amber Heard.

When defining what perfection is in the dictionary, it should just show a picture of Amber Heard.

[Superflyer]

Last night I watched two and a half men which was OK, not great not horrible. I think that I will give it one more week to see what they can do.

Watched How I met your mother and it was OK as well. I still like it but it seems to really be losing momentum quickly. I love NPH and when this show dies I hope he gets a good spin off.

Also watched Whitney since there was nothing on before bed. It was brutal, I swear they had the laugh track on a 10 second loop no matter what they said and it was loud. At the beginning they said it was taped in front of a live studio audience but I guess they thought it was bad as well and had to use the laugh track. The only funny part was when she dressed up as a the naughty nurse.

I still have 5-0 and Playboy club on my PVR so we will see what they are like.

HIMYM was almost complete drivel--even Barney isn't funny anymore. I think even the laugh track was bored. How this hasn't been cancelled is a mystery to me, but one would think this is the last season ...

I wanted to watch the Two and a Half Men trainwreck, but forgot to set the PVR. :( Sounds like I didn't miss much.

[Notorious Honey Badger]

I've all but given up totally on HIMYM. What a waste of time that's becoming.

[Flaming Choy]

I think it got renewed for this season and next season already. Hoping they'll have a plan set out to end properly.

[Old Yeller]

Yeah, HIMYM was renewed for 2 more seasons and all the stars have contracts for 2 more seasons so we've got two more years of what once was a really funny show... now not so much.

Fotze, in my opinion it's just kind of "tired" now. They've been dragging on the "is that the mother?" angle for 6 seasons now and like most comedy's on TV, after this many seasons it just gets kind of stale.

[Eastern Girl]

I think it got renewed for this season and next season already. Hoping they'll have a plan set out to end properly.

From what I remember reading, they have always had a plan for how it will end. They wanted the story to be told over 8 seasons and that's what they got, so I imagine, it will get tied up properly.

I'm fairly lukewarm on the show now. You get the occasional laugh out of it still, but I am mainly watching because I've already invested all this time in it, so I would like to see some payout.


I watched the 5-0 opener last night and thought it was good. I missed the last four or so episodes of the first season but had no issues keeping up with anything.

I also gave The Playboy Club a chance and it didn't work for me. Just didn't care about any of the characters and thought the acting was meh. Didn't really see anything appealing, but I am sure you men will find something that appeals to you. I don't think I'll be giving it another try.

I thought 2 Broke Chicks was pretty awful.

[CaptainCrunch]

Yeah 2 broke chicks was terrible, the only good thing was the shot at the hipster at the start.

Other then that the two chicks are cute.

That is all

[OilKiller]

Also watched Whitney since there was nothing on before bed. It was brutal, I swear they had the laugh track on a 10 second loop no matter what they said and it was loud. At the beginning they said it was taped in front of a live studio audience but I guess they thought it was bad as well and had to use the laugh track. The only funny part was when she dressed up as a the naughty nurse.


Saw the previews for that one and thought it would be cancelled before it hit the air. It's one I didn't even bother trying.

[Cscutch]

I like HIMYM... it may not be the funniest show on TV but I relate to it.

The early seasons were all about the crazy adventures they went on but as the season have went on all the characters have grown and see life a bit different.

I also believe that it is a show that you have to invest your time in because there is a lot of fore shadowing and pulling from jokes in the past.

Chris

[CaptainCrunch]

Honestly, HIMYM was never the same after the ninja scene.

[Yamer]

New Girl is as good as I thought it would be. It's too bad that almost the entire pilot episode was given away in the endless previews.

Definitely going to be watching this. I've had a serious crush on Zooey Deschanel ever since Yes Man. A solid hour of TV on FOX Tuesday nights with Raising Hope on right after.

[CaptainCrunch]

I like her cause she's cute, but she was actually really annoying me throughout that show.

[Yamer]

I like her cause she's cute, but she was actually really annoying me throughout that show.

Yes Man or New Girl?

(To be honest, either way I scorn you for having such an opinion :fist:)

[CaptainCrunch]

In new girl, she was way over quirky in the premier, to the point that it went from adorable to annoying.

[Yamer]

Different strokes for different folks. The quirkier the better, IMO. I find her very convincing and natural to that kind of role.

[Eastern Girl]

I thought New Girl was pretty good. I did think at times, she was a little much, but overall, it was good. I will be watching again. I liked the guys though, the Wayans kid was good as the ragey guy. Even the ######bag guy was funny.

Also enjoyed the Raising Hope premiere. "I made this kid with my wang!"

[Sainters7]

Also, Thursdays are insane, Big Bang Theory, Community, Parks and Rec, The Office, The League. Thursdays are crazy good.

I started watching (and am now fully caught up) The League & Parks and Rec over the summer, I'm pumped for both those premieres. Didn't realize they were on the same night, that'll help hit my new Sunday night void with Curb & Entourage now done.

I just need to get into Community now, especially since its back-to-back with Parks. Watched the 1st 2 eps & just didn't do it for me, but I hear it gets way better in s2, may have to give it another chance. Frankly Parks was terrible s1 & got 100 times better so it gives me hope.

[MissTeeks]

Raising Hope was hilarious last night. I'm happy it made it to a season two. I just wish the actresss who plays Sabrina didn't have that horrible new hair cut.

Tonight is the night I'm most looking forward to. Season premiere of Criminal Minds!

[DuffMan]

Uhm, Big Break Ireland started on the golf channel last night.
Aside from that I have no idea what most of the other shows you guys are talking about are... and I have 4 tv's in a house with 3 people.
I saw a bit of new girl last night because I was trying to figure out who Zooey Deschannel is but she didn't look familiar, and the show sucked so I guess she goes back into my sounds familiar but have no clue who she is category. Plus I think she has a weird nose.

[Eastern Girl]

Raising Hope was hilarious last night. I'm happy it made it to a season two. I just wish the actresss who plays Sabrina didn't have that horrible new hair cut.

Tonight is the night I'm most looking forward to. Season premiere of Criminal Minds!

I really enjoyed it last season too and I pretty much caught it by accident. It's really cute and silly and I love the dad. I was nervous because I wasn't hearing anything about it one way or the other so I wasn't sure it was going to get renewed. I hope it sticks around.

I agree about the haircut too. I thought at one point it was a wig. It's just too blunt a cut for her I think.

And I am hoping Criminal Minds can bounce back now that they seem to be righting the ship by bringing JJ back and getting rid of that annoying blond student chick. Never understood that move. Never understood why they got rid of JJ in the first place.

[CaptainCrunch]

Hey does anyone know when Shoving Buddies premiers, I know it comes on after Cross armed Opposites and before slowly rotating black guy?

[d_phaneuf]

Parks and Rec basically continuing on the last two seasons and coming out with an excellent episode

[Thrillingbroom]

Whitney has to be one of the worst shows ever. Awful story with awful actors.

[Table 5]

I like her cause she's cute, but she was actually really annoying me throughout that show.

Yeah, that's her MO pretty much all the time. The whole "look at me aren't, I just adorable" shtick is why i can't stand that woman....well that and the monotone tranny voice.

[OutOfTheCube]

Anyone else watch 'Person of Interest'? I thought it was pretty cool, managed to keep me interested to the end. The actors could've definitely loosened up a bit though... the characters were a little stale. If that's how they act every episode it'll get tired fast. Also, relied on the unrealistic "we can hear everything their cell phone hears!" plot device a little heavily.

But I enjoyed it! Definitely getting another watch next week.

[CaptainCrunch]

I don't think any of the premieres that I've watched have screamed out that I need to keep watching them.

I watched the office tonight and Jim Pam and Dwight are annoying as hell. The only good part was the Planking stuff.

[nik-]

Anyone catch this 'Person of Interest'

I watched it, it's alright. Basically a whodunnit with a Minority Report twist. I'll give it a few episodes for sure.

[Flaming Choy]

Parks and Rec basically continuing on the last two seasons and coming out with an excellent episode

Best show of the day for me.

[3 Justin 3]

I may be late to the party with the new Monday shows, but 2 Broke Chicks is freaking awful. Kat Dennings couldn't get anymore annoying.

Playboy Club is another below 'meh' show. I never expected good things by any means, I just want Amber Heard on television every week and in that regard it succeeds. I also don't mind the lead actor, he has good charisma. Outside Amber and the guy though, it is pretty horrible, the plot is stupid and the writing is bad.

Hawaii Five-O was good, I like the show and was pretty stoked for this season after basically marathoning the entire first season in 2 days over the summer. The actors really make the show enjoyable and the production value is pretty good.

Looking forward to seeing Person of Interest tomorrow after work as well as all the comedy shows.

[red sky]

I actually liked the season premiere of The Office. I wasn't expecting much but I had a few good laughs. Andy: "Keep your chins up" *chuckles*

[OilKiller]

Had New Girl PVR'd. Holy crap that was funny. I haven't laughed that much in a long time.

[fredr123]

Did anyone watch Prime Suspect? For how much hype that show got over the summer, I can't imagine it was anything other than awful. It's never a good sign when your show is featured in such a large ad campaign.

[Chump]

I thought New Girl was pretty good. I did think at times, she was a little much, but overall, it was good. I will be watching again. I liked the guys though, the Wayans kid was good as the ragey guy. Even the ######bag guy was funny.

Yeah, I thought he was the best character. Unfortunately he leaves the show after episode 2.

You're pre-positioning yourself to expect the worst. That's a helluva way to go about it.

I thought it was pretty good . . . . but I've been a big fan of the real Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren and its not in the same class.

They're in danger of making the protaganist a little too tough though and had to throw in that crying/begging for affection scene to take the edge off and give her some vulnerability.

It looks like they'll have a single crime solved every week versus the Mirren Prime Suspect scenario of developing a scenario over multiple episodes.

I'll keep watching.

My DVR is full of new shows and I've got to weed through them all in the next few days.

Cowperson

[Eastern Girl]

Yeah, I thought he was the best character. Unfortunately he leaves the show after episode 2.

Seriously? That sucks. Is it because he's on that other show, Happy Endings (I think is what it's called)? I was wondering if he would be doing both. Guess not. Bugger.

I read the description for the next episode and it said something about their old roommate moving back in, so I guess he will be replaced. That sucks. I liked him.

I have Person of Interest, Prime Suspect and Whitney taped. Don't really know why I bothered with Whitney, the ads for it looked stupid to me.

Too much advertising can turn people off from that product. I don't think I'm alone in my thinking. How many shows get advertised during the NBA finals ("She's the district attorney's daughter!") that end up flopping, for instance? Every year they seem to pick one show that gets a ton of promotion and with the possible exception of The Closer, they all seem to suck.

It works with products too, not just new shows. You know that Panago guy who used to be a construction worker and now, for some reason, is a chef? Hate that guy. I used to prefer Panago Pizza over others but now I think twice in large part because their ads drive me nuts. Same with those Telus commercials with animals. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Telus and their products, but those damn commercials are the icing on the cake.

[iggyformayor]

The one show I think I'm the most excited for has to be Terra Nova. Already have the PVR set up and ready to go. I watched Jurassic Park again the other day just in preparation. I love man eating dinosaurs!

[CaptainCrunch]

I'm kinda looking forward to that show, but my fear is if it starts to struggle, they'll insert the cute baby talking raptor who makes air guitar motions while telling other dinos to chill out man, these are my peeps

Um, New Girl does not suck. It should not be mentioned in the same breath as Whitney.

[CaptainCrunch]

Whitney had some really fun concepts that could have been hilarious if they were competantly executed.

The whole nurse fantasy where she made him provide insurance and family health information could have been hilarious, but it just became awkward instead.

[Barnes]

If you haven't watched it, Happy Endings is one of the funniest network shows on right now. If you like Community, Parks and Rec, etc, you will like Happy Endings.

[CaptainCrunch]

I love Happy Endings, but what is this show about?

[Barnes]

I love Happy Endings, but what is this show about?

It's about Elisha Cuthbert in tight shirts, Damon Wayans Jr doing hilarious things, Adam Pally being the most ridiculously gay straight gay guy, Casey Wilson being a-maaz-ing, and that girl from Scrubs the new class setting up Damon Wayans Jr to say hilarious things.

[Yamer]

Person of Interest has caught my personal interest.

[troutman]

Um, New Girl does not suck. It should not be mentioned in the same breath as Whitney.

The New Girl promos inundating the Fan 960 are driving me crazy. How does a person with a nasally speech impediment get her own TV series?

I like that James Spader (Robert California) is on The Office. I'm giving Parks & Rec another chance, because so many of you recommend it. The meeting with the nurse and all the dong-texters was great. Don't like the dumb guy character - too broad.

[Pacem]

Disapointed with the second episode of Up all Night.

Parks and Rec was a great episode. Ron Swanson in the beginning intro was awesome. Is there a funnier character on TV right now? Well on regular network TV.

The Office was meh. If I didn't have a PVR I prolly wouldn't watch it anymore. The first few seasons of that show were just so damn good, its the only reason i'll watch now.

New Girl was pretty funny. Kinda disapointed Wayans Jr. is leaving the show. He was really funny in that show.

Happy Endings is a good show. Almost got cancelled last year, hopefully the ratings pick up so it'll stay on TV. Was wondering what was going to happen with Wayans Jr with the 2 shows.

2 Broke girls was garbage.

Big Bang Theory is getting pretty dull.

HIMYM is getting old real fast. It should die a slow death. When that show first aired, my only hope was that it wouldn't be cancelled before you me the mother, so hopefully that still happens.

[CaptainCrunch]

I'd like to see them introduce Mimi from the Drew Carey show as the mother, and just as we see her meet Ted, we get marriage music and then the picture fades to black.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I just rewatched the season premier of Community.

John Goodman was fantastic in his limited role.

Chang also was great, but only in the limited time he got.

I think they could have done the Troy/Abed storyline a bit better

The Pierce/Jeff conclusion was rather quick

But I'm starting to think the quality of the show is directly related to how much cleavage Annie shows. The more cleavage the better the show. Possibly because Alison Brie is a great actress and is very strong in her role as Annie, and thus Annie centric shows tend to be better. Possibly because I like boobs. Regardless Thursdays are going to rock.

I still have to watch Person of Interest. Without giving anything away, was it any good?

[Hemi-Cuda]

can't wait to see more Goodman in Community, his role is intriguing

[Eastern Girl]

I still have to watch Person of Interest. Without giving anything away, was it any good?

I just watched it and the lead has serious Christian Bale Batman voice going on.

It's not bad. I'll watch again, but I can't say I am extremely excited about it.

I liked Parks and Rec. The stuff with the guys sending pics of their junk was hilarious. That old guy asking about specific situations where he could send pics, loved it. You gotta love Ron. Amy Poehler is great. I like the guy that plays Ben too, he was a good addition.

I like Patricia Clarkson, so I hope she sticks around for a little while as Wife #1 for Ron.

[Deegee]

I still have to watch Person of Interest. Without giving anything away, was it any good?

I'll be watching this show for Michael Emerson alone. His role is perfect for him in it.

Just watched New Girl, really funny show. Like others have mentioned, sucks Wayans Jr. is leaving, but hopefully the new person they bring in is funny. Hopefully this show stays funny throughout the season.

[Oliwa]

Im psyched for boardwalk empire.

[OilKiller]

Really disappointed in Terra Nova. Horrible acting, pretty boring story overall and filled with every cliche in the book. No more episodes for me. What a waste of an opportunity.

Really wanted it to be my new Lost, but this show isn't even in the same stratosphere as Lost.

[CaptainCrunch]

Another show with the super cute little girl, the cardboard cutout middle child, the uber annoying male teenager with daddy issues who you hope dies in the end. The wisecracking yet somewhat stern father with a history, and the wife who of course is the rational heart of the family.

You have the evil guy with the sinister glare, the hot teenage girl love interest. Throw in some whiz bang cars, a plot line that they pretty much gave away in the first two hours that could have been drawn out.

And terrible crappy garbage unrealistic CGI that makes you cry out for two guys in a rubber suit.

Stunted lines, bad performances, hey we outnumber our enemies and they have ammo shortages and we obviously don't but we'll let them squat on a vital resource and negotiate with them?

WTF.

Hey going outside is against the rules, but we'll leave teenager sized holes in the fence and leave the keys to the car laying around.

Bleh

[CaptainCrunch]

Oh and the countdown is on for the cute Dinosaur orphan baby that can utter catch phrases. WE'll name him Snurkles, and he can play the Banjo.

[Kybosh]

Terra Nova was predictable, had sloppy plot lines and was a little cliched. . . but I thought it was ok. I'll keep watching it for a while I think.

Also, I'm not sure why people think of Lost as being the gold standard of television. I thought it was a mismash of awkward plots and inane twists that people thought was brilliant. I found Lost to be infuriating to watch.

[CaptainCrunch]

I agree with you about Lost, and the reason why I distrust shows with long running plot lines as their central premise is that you are almost guaranteed that they'll go with the dumbest most predictable ending after they deny that its the ending thats coming.

"Oh no gentle view, the Island in lost is not a wating room for the dead or pergutory or hell, its much cooler then that. . . . way cooler, and way more awesome. And that man in black in the breakfast scene, he's bone jarringly awesome, not a revenge driven man with mommy issues like every other cliched villian in ever T.V. show"

[troutman]

I know nothing about this actress or this series. If you heard the radio spots, you would agree with me that they are annoying. It sounds like she has a mouthful of marbles when she speaks. Not the best advertisement for the show, and it plays about every 15 minutes on the Fan 960.

First day for a teenager on a dinosaur infested world.

He's escorted from the drop zone to the camp by heavily armed and clearly jumpy guards.

He hears the diabolical roars coming out in the jungle.

Then says: "I think I'll skip orientation and go see for myself!!! Unarmed!!!"

Bleh.

Of course, I could never get through a single episode of "Lost" so . . . . .

Don't think that Lost is the "gold standard", just simply really enjoyed the show and for commercial television, it was a breath or fresh air.

Terra Nova is not. Won't waste my time on it anymore. You thought Lost was not very good, but you'll keep watching the super-cliched and absolutely awful acting within Terra Nova? :blink:

I liked Terra Nova, some people are to picky... :)

Will definetely watch it again.

[OilKiller]

LOL...it's not about being picky. My wife and I both burst out laughing a couple of times when the lead touch guy on Terra Nova spit out a couple of supposed serious lines. It was that bad...

[CaptainCrunch]

Yup, I don't think the shows going to last all that long, or the key villian dies as he's already filming another T.V. series.

I kinda figured the same thing as you Cow, and on top of that, if I'm in the jungle, standing over a massive waterfall and I hear something shrieking close by like that, I think I'm heading for the freaking car thanks, not continuign to explore a place that you know has Dinosaurs.

Agreed. Not a bad show at all. I have been spoiled with big budget effects, so some of the shots of the dinosaurs felt like a step down. Other than that, it is pretty much what I expected. The characters will become more natural as the roles develop. Pilots within this genre usually feel a little corny as they drive home what they want you to expect from the characters and plot.

I was actually a little impressed with the foresight put into the logic of the premise. The alternate time thread, becoming accustomed to oxygen levels and food, etc.

I'll be tuning in next week, and for the foreseeable future.

You're telling me you wouldn't risk a couple Dinosaurs for some cute tail?

The moody teenager is just like you when you were younger CC, breaking the rules and chasing girls.

In fact, are you or are you not the Dad from TerraNova. Be honest here.

[Canada 02]

for Terra Nova, I was more interested in the apocalyptic Earth that they were leaving. Obama money, population control, gas masks to breathe. That world looked bleak, and really caught my attention.

[Sainters7]

Anyone catch the season premiere of American Dad on Sunday? I thought it was great, pretty much laughed through the whole thing. I should mention that I HATE musicals, even during the Simpsons' heyday whenever they'd do one I'd hate it. But this one was funny. Maybe its because they were mostly making fun of songs/pop culture from an era when I was immersed in pop culture, but I was on board. That and I saw Little Shop of Horrors as a kid.

I can't get that "Dipped a Toe" and "Daddy's Gone" songs out of my head! I laughed so hard during the latter song, when Steve & Roger had their shirts open acting all Backstreet Boys'ish and were just jacked. Thought Cee Lo Green was arguably the best celeb guest I had ever seen in a cartoon too, which I did not expect. I'm not a fan of his, but he did a great job.

Had to love the very end too: "Well, there you have it, that's our story. Stan's dead. Goodnight!" Great start to the season. I wonder when people will finally realize this show's been awesome for 3-4 years now, 100 times better than played out Family Guy.

[Kybosh]

When the principal sent Stan a text message about going to hit him, I laughed for a solid 5 minutes. American Dad is the best animated show in Sunday nights.

I doubt the key "vilian" was even shown as of yet.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

I liked the concept of Terra Nova, but couldn't get past the terrible dialogue, bad acting and horrendous CGI. I will give the CGI a pass because I think we've been spoiled by big budget movies that have great CGI and expect everything else to be like that, but that great CGI is expensive and shows like these don't have it in the budget.

Acting/dialogue, I can't give a pass on. I thought the son(whatever his name is) was just brutal. Commander Taylor was very cliche as well.

I will watch one or two more to see if I can get into it, but I sure hope this show is more than about people living amongst dinosaurs.

[J pold]

Yeah, I broke rules to get girls, but I didn't snivel and whine in front of a girl to my old man, because he wouldn't give me the sad hurt look like the dad in the show, I would have been flying across the court yard after the donkey backhand from the old man. while the hot girl looked on with an odd look of disgust and pity.

Snivel - "You're a hypocrite dad"

POW!!!!


I'm the furthest thing from that dad, and maybe its worked out for the best that I don't have kids.

"PVR"... watch them later

[Lil Pedro]

Opening night for the NFL now always begins on the Thursday, with the Superbowl winner vs. another top team (Packers vs. Saints). After the first week they will go back to regularly scheduled Sunday night games (I think they have a Sunday night game the first week as well).

After American Thanksgiving Thursday night games return but there on the NFL Network too.

[REDVAN]

My impressions of some of the new shows/ season premieres that I've watched:

Playboy Club: BRUTAL. Watched the first two episodes, and frankly, the bunny suits aren't enough to keep my eyes on the screen. Oh and the male lead? Mad Men called, they need you back on set for Jon Hamm's stunt double. Thanks.

Castle: boring, I have no idea why I watch this show. Two main characters are so boring. Barf. Do old people like this show or who?

CSI: interested in seeing the Ted Danson direction, but this show doesn't bring anything new to the table anymore. Good for something to watch when really bored- but with hockey coming up, I can't see wasting PVR space on this show.

Whitney: I thought the premise was good, but the pilot was bad. The boyfriend was pretty funny, if you like that sort of humour. I'll give it a few more episodes to even out, but I'm expecting mediocre.

HIMYM: Boring, annoying, and doesn't make me want to watch any more.

Modern Family: This show does NOT grab my interest, although it has it's funny spots.

The office: Um, I haven't watched this show for years and caught the premiere... WTF happened?

Blue Bloods: I really like this show, but I'm not sure it'll stick around too much longer. It's a shame it didn't get a better time slot.

Law & Order SVU: Dying. Once they lose the lady cop as well as Stabler, the show is all but done for. Speaking of which- do we get to see Law & Order UK, LA at all, or were they cancelled?

Prime Suspect: was decent and deserving of the promotion it got. Can see it might develop into a great show if given enough time.

Person of Interest: Loved it, despite it being so far fetched and ridiculous. Good entertainment IMO.

Free Agents: It won't last because it doesn't have a BIG name, which is too bad because I found it quite funny.

Up All Night: Has 2 big names, but the show itself sucks. The characters are just... you can't root for them so when they are acting like idiots, it comes across as idiotic.

2 and a half men: Meh.

Revenge: Only watched half of the first episode. Maybe pre-teen girls like it I don't know.

Looking forward to watching but haven't yet:
Man Up, How to be a gentleman, terra nova, Mike & Molly, New girl, House, Mentalist, whatever else I have on pvr or will have in the next week or two.

edit: forgot about 2 broke girls. Probably the worst of all, like the guy below says. Ha, and they're not even hot so there goes that justification.

[3 Justin 3]

God, why the hell am I still watching 2 Broke Girls, what an awful show. Both of their voices are so annoying and the acting is terrible.

I agree for the most part. I still find Castle entertaining, mostly because of Nathan Fillion, but I agree that their characters are becoming really dull.

With Playboy Club I like the main character, yeah he is a Jon Hamm rip-off, but I think he pulls it off. Everything else about the show is brutal though, minus Amber Heard she is amazing in everything.

[Sainters7]

One more thing about American Dad that I just learned, the voice of Steve Smith is Scott Grimes, aka Malarkey from Band of Brothers. Man you'd never know it.

And former linemate of our very own LAFlamesfan. (at least until he was benched for not backchecking)

[IliketoPuck]

Yeah, I broke rules to get girls, but I didn't snivel and whine in front of a girl to my old man, because he wouldn't give me the sad hurt look like the dad in the show, I would have been flying across the court yard after the donkey backhand from the old man. while the hot girl looked on with an odd look of disgust and pity.

The donkey backhand comment got me some weird looks when I snorted into my coffee at work. Nice.

If there was ever a predictable moment in TerraNova last night it was that the kid sneaking off with the girl would result in dinosaurs attacking them. What did they expect was going to happen? The kid didn't even get so much as a kiss from the girl, and looked like he wet himself when he saw her in the bikini.

And agreed with the Dad comment. You would think that a cop/inmate would have a bit more backbone dealing with his unruly kids than to look hurt and slowly back away when his kid is skipping school.

(and I was using a cheesey quote from the show last night to poke some fun at you)

I could just imagine after the whole Dinosaur attack son rescue, when the dad and the son are driving home in the car

Dad - "So son, that girl, did you at least get to second base with her"

Son - "No"

Dad - "So did you at least get a kiss, I mean she was walking around you in a bikini, come on tell me that you got a kiss out of her"

Son - "No"

Dad shakes his head in disgust.

Dad - "In my day, I got laid on my first night in prison, you're a disgrace to the family name . . . oh uh crap"

[hmmhmmcamo]

favorite line was at the end, when back at the base,the son told the dude who had just had his leg munched on by the slasher..."try not to put too much weight on it"

Or how all of the people with these horrific gashes to their legs and torsos still managed to look so full of life mere minutes after being catatonic on the ground.

If that slasher thing hits you with that much force, I'm sorry it isn't going to leave a 2 inch gash in your torso, its going to freaking cut you in half.

[Yamer]

Still love Family Guy. Surprised so many people have grown tired of it.

That was the opening clip to the new season, I still haven't caught my breath.

[Superflyer]

Just watched Pan Am and it was not bad, will stick with a few more episodes and make a final decision but the first one impressed me. Story is all over the place but they all have interesting stories.

[getbak]

Today, New Girl became the first new show of the season to get a full season pick up.

http://image.com.com/tv/images/processed/default/97/07/353200.jpg

[CaptainCrunch]

Surprising, I watched the second show, and I thought it was worse then the first and followed the typical sitcom romcom scripting.

[Eastern Girl]

I definitely need them to tone down her character. It's too quirky, to the point where I can only tolerate it for a few seconds and I find myself tuning out. I also didn't much care for the new roommate. I do however like the other two roommates. Not sure how much more of this one I will watch, which is unfortunate. I really thought it had potential.

I followed Wayans though over to Happy Endings and watched its premiere and quite enjoyed it. I really find him quite funny, but I actually thought everyone on the show was good. I also like the chick that used to be on SNL. Don't know her name, but she was hilarious.

I checked out Suburgatory. Not bad, but I am frankly a little sick of shows using voice overs.

[CaptainCrunch]

There hasn't been a show with good use of voice overs since the Wonder Years

[Flames89]

Surprising, I watched the second show, and I thought it was worse then the first and followed the typical sitcom romcom scripting.

It was far worse. Too bad Wayans was gone, the three guys had great chemistry. Still decent show, and decent writing and directing. I decided to PVR Happy Endings just because of New Girl.

Enjoyed Suburbgatory, also good writing and stylized directing.

[Cowperson]

Just watched Pan Am and it was not bad, will stick with a few more episodes and make a final decision but the first one impressed me. Story is all over the place but they all have interesting stories.

I liked Pan Am as well, which was surprising.

They're not trying to be Mad Men, which I think helps, in spite of the period piece nature of the plot.

Cowperson

[CaptainCrunch]

Christina Ricci is just super.

[red sky]

Great episode of Modern Family. I have enjoyed the first two episodes better than any other one from last year. Seems more like Season 1 IMO.

[Eastern Girl]

I thought Pan Am was okay, maybe a bit jumbled though. I'll give it another shot.

I finally watched Whitney. Meh. I think I just have a low tolerance for shows using laugh tracks. I feel you can see the "jokes" coming a mile away. However, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Nowhere near 2 Broke Girls level of bad.

I think Revenge is pretty intriguing. Not so sure about the shows longevity though.

Modern Family is/was great. Great comedy!

Have there been any early cancellations yet this year?

[troutman]

Casey Wilson - had a funny appearance on Conan this week.

If you are interested in the history of SNL, check out Jay Mohr's podcasts, Mohr Stories. The last one with Kevin Nealon was awesome.

[CaptainCrunch]

Today, New Girl became the first new show of the season to get a full season pick up.

http://image.com.com/tv/images/processed/default/97/07/353200.jpg

The one thing that makes the show worth watching is that she is just a cute girl. I think her sister is slightly hotter though.

But the dialogue and plot lines are killing me.

That whole speech thing about her loving her roomates, was just too cliche'd for me.

[getbak]

She's adorable. They really do need to tone down her quirkiness though, and possibly get rid of one of the roommates. It's too bad they lost Wayans, but I'm glad Happy Endings got a second season.

[Azure]

Terra Nova was boring to me too. Interesting at the beginning, but towards the end it got boring.

To me it seemed like they wrote the part about the future, and going back in time, had it all figured out perfectly, and actually made it interesting. Then, when they were done filming all that, and it was time to film scenes from the world 85 million years ago, they began filming and realized it was pretty boring. Who gives a crap how nice your house is, and dinosaurs are cool for about 10 min, so they decided to suddenly add the Sixers, and start twisting the story a bit.

The actors are pretty lame too. I was expecting so much more.

[J Diddy]

Ugh to New Girl. The first episode was ruined by the commercials, which showed all the funny parts. The second episode may have been some of the worst TV I have ever seen. None of the characters are even likable.

I watched Season 6 Episode 1 of Dexter and I think we are in for another long, ho-hum season, like Season 5. Not sure all the guest stars are going to be able to save this season...but it would dumb of me to judge the season after just one episode.

PnR and Community were good. The Office was definitely missing Michael. Kevin's "Warning! Warning!" had me laughing pretty good though.

Holy crap I watch too much TV.

[jayswin]

How do you guys find the time to watch all of these shows?!

It's because of a new invention called a PVR. It lets you record shows and then watch them at your own convenience. Gone are the days of having to set aside an exact time, cancelling plans, or staying up when you're tired and have to work the next day, all to watch your favorite shows.

Get out of the past...

Christina Ricci is just super.

Ricci looks a little bonny in the pilot. The French girl Colette does it for me.

[MoneyGuy]

You still need to spend lots of time to watch all of these shows on PVR. You can be wasting tonnes of time. PVRs probably increase TV time for most people, especially new PVR users. HP, you're dismissing the guy's good point. Ha, he probably owns a PVR.

[REDVAN]

yeah but with the prv you don't get commercials. So for every 4 hours of tv (say one show per night), you can watch all 4 in 3 hours....

Anyone watch Homeland? I thought it had some promise. Plus it had boobies.

Exactly... I still have all of last season of Boardwalk Empire on my PVR, noticed it jumped to the top again the other day, so the 2nd season must have started. When the cold weather hits us again, I'll cruise through those in a week or so I'm sure.

First Look: 'Absolutely Fabulous' returns with Patsy and Edina -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS

http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/03/absolutley-fabulous-first-look/

Ab Fab is back, darlings! As EW reported back in August (http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/08/29/absolutely-fabulous-specials/), the cult British series is returning early next year on BBC America and Logo with a trio of new specials. But you don’t have to wait that long to reunite with the boozy Patsy (Joanna Lumley) and Edina (Jennifer Saunders): EW has the exclusive first look at how the fabulous duo are holding up in the new specials, which marks the first time they’ve reunited since the BBC America comedy Clatterford in 2006.

As you might imagine, despite a teensy-weensy bit of age, Patsy and Edina haven’t changed much at all, as the two exclusive photos we’ve nabbed are classic Ab Fab:

Melissa McCarthy on 'Saturday Night Live' recap: A most fearless host if there ever was one

McCarthy, who earned a standing ovation from the audience, was the breath of fresh air that she’s been all year. All in all, a brilliant and daring debut for an SNL newbie.

[getbak]

Anyone watch Homeland? I thought it had some promise. Plus it had boobies.
As far as I can tell, it's not airing in Canada anywhere. Superchannel has a brief mention of it on their website, but nothing on their schedule.

Were they Claire Danes' boobies?

[Bigtime]

Finally got around to watching the premier of Modern Family, solid episodes and had me laughing quite a few times. Glad they are in fine form right off the bat.

Ultimate comedy crossover episode ever: Modern Family and Arrested Development. I think my head would explode if it ever happened.

I really like her. She's quite hilarious. Easily the best part of Bridesmaid, which was shocking to me because I really enjoy Mya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig. She was great on SNL. Loved her dancing with the balloons. Fantastic.

[Yamer]

McCarthy is adorable on Mike & Molly. I like that show a lot.

I thought the 2nd episode was pretty poor myself.

The season premiere of HOUSE was outstanding, even though Hugh Laurie was the only regular cast member in the episode, proves he IS the show.

[d_phaneuf]

Homeland is the best new show for me this season, it's great so far

Damien Lewis (who a lot of people will remember from Band of Brothers) is always good, and Claire Danes is really good as well

I think it has a lot of potential, I don't have super channel because it's terrible so I got it by means suggested in post 182

[GoinAllTheWay]

I haven't had time to scan the whole thread but has anyone seen the show called "Top Shot"? Amazing reality tv show that is like a blend of Wipeout/Big Brother/America has Talent.

They basically invited the top shooters in the US made up of Cop, civilian, ex-military and firearm instructors that take part in crazy challenges using a very wide variety of firearms. The entire group is split into two teams. Each episode they take part in a team challenge. Whatever team loses that challenge has to nomiate two memebers to take part in an elimination challenge. Whomever loses that challenge goes home.

Great show, lots of personality, well thought out challenges. Well worth looking into.

[MissTeeks]

First new show to bite the dust is...........

The Playboy Club.

I bet the next show cancelled is Unforgettable, I believe the ratings have been quite low.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. I watched half an episode and turned it off. Just so "procedure" and predictable.

But what is NBC doing giving full seasons to Whitney and Up All Night...ugh...I guess they need to leave something on their network.

[SeeBass]

Wasn't good enough to keep me watching.

Pretty boring and the whole show is just a walking talking cliche.


guys are age have seen these characters so many fricken times, the'80's template indeed

[Displaced Flames fan]

Two Broke Girls is awful. It will be gone soon.

Homeland on Showtime is going to be a great ride. Damien Lewis (formerly of the badly mistreated 'Life'), Claire Daines and Mandy Pitankin. First episode was awesome. It makes it easy to watch since it is right after the best show on television.

A Gifted Man is terrible.

I was liking Unforgettable but have only seen the opening episode with one or two on DVR right now.

I know it is 7 episodes into the new season already, but Strike Back is an incredible show. Season 1 was incredible, Season 2 seems to be just as good.

Well worth checking out.

Same here. Started off pretty interesting but then it seemed like they ran out of a storyline and began making stupid things up.

Did you watch it online? If so was it edited? Mine was they even blurred out the boobies and muted it during sex scenes. I tried watching multiple copies and it was the same for all of them.

[MoneyGuy]

Anyone watching Person of Interest? I imagine it's been discussed but I haven't scoured this whole thread.

[getbak]

Today, NBC inexplicably gave Up All Night and Whitney full season orders.


The thought occurred to me today, you know what would make Up All Night better? If it was a show about Kelly Bundy and GOB Bluth being married to each other with an infant child.

[SeeBass]

I know it is 7 episodes into the new season already, but Strike Back is an incredible show. Season 1 was incredible, Season 2 seems to be just as good.

Well worth checking out.

I have been on this show since the begining too. One of those rare non comedy shows the wife watches with me.

[Eastern Girl]

I also really enjoyed House. It was the same formula, but it's nice to put the wrench into House's plans every once in awhile. It was well done.

I think Person of Interest is okay.

Unforgettable irritated me greatly. I figured the whole "I never forget anything" would get tired really quickly.

I actually enjoy Up all Night. It's not amazing, and it could definitely use the three leads a lot better, but it's cute. I like it. I've only watched one episode of Whitney. It wasn't as bad as I had heard, but it wasn't great either. Surprised they'd renew them so quickly though.

[InSutterWeTrust]

Watched about 15mins of How to be a Gentleman, that was brutal! Gotta think this show is gotta be on the chopping block.

[Azure]

Watched about 15mins of How to be a Gentleman, that was brutal! Gotta think this show is gotta be on the chopping block.

[Henry Fool]

Totally agree. I'm quite dissapointed, I was expecting a lot more from this show.

Terra Nova is the biggest piece of crap I've watched in a long time. And I watched the new V. There is literally nothing good about this show. It's incredible.

Had to get that off my chest somehow. Seriously, I can deal with bullet-proof dinosaurs, but really at its core it's just the worst family show ever created. How can all the characters be so bland and so thoroughly irritating at the same time? It's madness! This shoudn't exist!

And the worst music ever!

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm upset over the Playboy Club cancellation, I actually really liked the show. I didn't know where they'd go once they finished with the mob boss murder/disappearance, but I liked it.

I figured at worst the bunnies would get it a season, the show was worth it just for them!

[Mike F]

Agree about Playboy Club being at minimum mildly interesting. And I think that Free Agents has been better that Up All Night, mainly due to UAN trying to shoehorn Maya Rudolph into every episode. Would be much better without her character.

[3 Justin 3]

So Playboy Club was cancelled? I could tell after the first 20 minutes of the pilot. Horrible show, that isn't to say I watched it and enjoyed a couple of the characters. But the plot was f***ing stupid.

Edit: I just noticed Whitney got a full season order. Now I know The Playboy Club and Whitney are two totally different shows, but The Playboy Club is The Wire compared to Whitney. WTF NBC you idiots. Who the hell finds Whitney funny, she is terrible. Genital warts are funnier than her.

Anyone watch Homeland? I thought it had some promise. Plus it had boobies.
So, I found a way to watch the show, and you missed a very important fact in your post...It didn't just have boobies, it had Morena Baccarin's boobies.

Plus, it was an interesting show.

Homeland episode 1 was very good. The 1st ten minutes I was thinking, this is not so great, seen it done before and probably better. But it picked up steam, and the acting/directing is excellent, will watch again.

Terra Nova is the biggest piece of crap I've watched in a long time. And I watched the new V. There is literally nothing good about this show. It's incredible.

Had to get that off my chest somehow. Seriously, I can deal with bullet-proof dinosaurs, but really at its core it's just the worst family show ever created. How can all the characters be so bland and so thoroughly irritating at the same time? It's madness! This shoudn't exist!

And the worst music ever!

Jeez, I almost want to watch it just to see how bad it is... Is it at the point where it's so bad it's good?

[IliketoPuck]

It isn't nearly as bad as they are making it out to be. Yes it can be predictable, but it is nice mindless entertainment after a long day at work.

V at least redeemed intself with the final episode where humanity completely lost, and the annoying teenage character got his head bit off.

To me that gave V 2 stars out of 5

I will second this. I'm not currently following any shows, and thought I could start out on this one.

The visuals look cheesy, the story moves at 1,000 mph, and the characters are uninteresting.

New Girl is definitely one of the best new shows. That third episode had me howling again. Good characters, good writing and just damn funny. That paired with Raising Hope makes for a great hour of comedy on Fox.

Ugh, I was hoping Zooey Deschanel and her tranny voice and look-how-adorable-I-am act would be cancelled by now.

I was debating where to include that detail, but decided to leave it a surprise. Clearly, I was wrong!

Boooooooooooooo...

Each to their own I suppose. I find it and her funny as hell.

As a side note, why would you hope for a show to be cancelled? You do have a remote to change channels with right?

I do but I don't have a remote to block out random commercials/promos with that woman. Believe me, I'm trying to stay as far away as possible.

My wife and I are finding New Girl funny right now... but we get it, the girl is quirky, tone it down already.

[Table 5]

So anyone else getting excited about the George Harrison documentary starting tonight on HBO? Martin Scorsese and the Beatles....how this be anything but awesome.

George has always been my favorite Beatle, so personally, I can't wait.

I thought last night's episode was the best so far, think it has good potential

She won't. That's her schtick. It goes on and on.

I find Up All Night boring. I agre with the shoehorning in of Maya Rudolph, apparently she was supposed to be bit character but the success if Bridesmaids prompted them to write her in more than they planned. That show sucks.

Whitney - I will give it a few more watches, has some funny parts.

Free Agents - I actually kind of like. Clever dialogue.

Two Broke Girls - I laugh at this show. I have known so many girls that are one of the two (and many in between). It's not great, but since I watch all three shows around it, this is the one that I will watch the most I suspect.

Persn of Interest - neat premise, will continue to watch.

House was great, I'm hooked for another season. Easily my wife and I's favourite show.

[darklord700]

So no good new shows this year? New Girl is just OK, not Big Bang Theory funny and probably a little over-rated because how bad other new shows were.

[CaptainCrunch]

To me, there hasn't been anything that's jumped out and screamed, watch me and invest in me.

Pan Am surprisingly has probably been the most solid of the new shows.

[OilKiller]

This one still to come. Since Terra Nova was such a flop for me, hoping this is at least fun to watch:

What about American Horror Story?
I read the pilot is pretty intense.

[kipperfan]

I am pretty disappointed Free Agents is on the verge of being cancelled, for me it has been right up there with New Girl as one of the best new comedies, really hope they give it more of a chance. Another new show I've liked so far is Revenge, will be interesting to see where they take the show moving forward.

Cannot believe Up All Night got picked up, same with Whitney, I think they're both pretty subpar shows and don't see either one getting much better. How to be a Gentleman was just terrible, it's like they found the two worst actors in hollywood and picked them out as the leads, that show has to be cancelled immediately.

wtf? not Big Bang Theory funny? The Big Bang Theory hasn't been funny in 2 seasons. Outside Kaley Cuoco (who I watch because she is so fine) and Jim Parsons there is nothing funny about that show. Nothing clever, and the jokes are becoming more and more obvious/easy.

New Girl at least has more than 1 interesting character.

As someone who watches The Big Bang Theory regularly, I have no idea how in the blue hell this show is so popular.

There are so many better comedies than it, and yet it gets better ratings than them all.

I'm looking forward to Grimm as well. Premise seems interesting and something right up my ally and it is on the same night as Chuck so I'll have two shows to watch on the Saturday now. :D

Hopefully it doesn't suck.

[red sky]

Another solid Modern Family tonight. Thoroughly enjoying this season thus far.

[Deegee]

Anyone watching Person of Interest? I imagine it's been discussed but I haven't scoured this whole thread.

We will be following Person of Interest. Show seems well produced and the people filling the roles seem appropriate.

I think the best part of the show will be learning about the characters` past instead of the person of the day to ``save``.
