Continuing the unprecedentedly exciting preview of the new fall TV season!
Returning shows of personal greatest interest are The Big Bang Theory in it's 6th fall season, and Parks and Recreation it's 2nd fall appearance (the show has been on longer than that, but only twice premiering in the fall). I am a latecomer to both shows, so I am trying to watch on DVD and Netflix in trying to catch up. The Big Bang Theory is a wonderful character-driven show that appeals to the nerd in all of us. The neurotic Sheldon is a television Hall of Fame Classic! Also a classic is Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation, a government bureaucrat who has not lost her enthusiasm for civic solutions.
The best new show looks like Last Resort, a drama about a submarine commander who refuses to follow orders to nuke Pakistan.Other new shows on Thursday include Elementary, a modern take on Sherlock Holmes; Beauty and the Beast, a highly blanded down and present day version of that story. Scandal had a spring premiere and is on the fall schedule for the first time.
Two and a Half Men is in it's 10th fall season (wouldn't that half be whole by now?). Person of Interest returns for a 2nd season of stalking, 30 Rock will present it's final season, Up All Night it's 2nd, Glee is in it's 4th season (soo, all the originals should have graduated by now?), Grey's Anatomy starts it's 8th season and The Vampire Diaries it's 2nd. I've never seen The Vampire Diaries. Is it more like Twilight or Salem's Lot?
Looks like I will be watching ABC for the night. I love Scandal! I got away from Grey's Anatomy for awhile but got back into it last season...can't wait to see who makes it out of the plane crash and what the new season holds. I am really interested to see how Last Resort unfolds. Not sure if it will hold my interest.
ReplyDeleteAnd finally....NOTHING compares to Salem's Lot!! lol...j/k..I know what you meant. :)
Salem's Lot is an awesome book, and the vampires in it are not woosies, like they are in Twilight.
