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.
