Continuing our special Ripper's preview of the new fall TV season, we come to the center of the television week, Wednesday. Please note that I am giving information about all shows except reality or news program. Nothing wrong with them, just not a focus of Ripping Good Yarns, which concentrates on fictional storytelling.
The returning show I'm most looking forward to is Modern Family, the best comedy on television. The intertwined trio of families constantly provide great laughs and positive in sight, and is starting it's 4th fall season. Gloria (Sofia Vergara) will be pregant on the show, and that sometimes a risky undertaking for shows, but I have faith the Modern Family writers can pull it off. I'm also looking forward to CSI, now in it's 13th season. Thse cast has solidified, with Ted Danson and Elizabeth Shue adding great depth to the cast.
There are three new shows I am going to check out. One is Animal Practice, as Alison is big animal lover and we would like to see what they do with the premise - we will quickly bail if the premise of the show is cruel or stupid. Arrow looks a very interesting take on the DC comic Green Arrow. This is not the same Green Arrow of Smallville, so it's hard to say where it's going to go. But the premise and creators make it worth a try. Finally there is Nashville, which sounds like it could be a real hoot and a holler, with an older country star being crowded out by a younger one.
Other new shows are Guys with Kids, another variation of 3 men and lots of babies; The Neighbors, about a family moving to an alien neighborhood (Alf times twenty), and Chicago Fire, about firefighters who, uh, fight fires while sometimes forgetting to wear their shirts.
Criminal Minds returns for its 8th fall season, adding Big Love's Jeanne Tripplehorn to the cast. Law & Order:SVU (which I used to keep thinking was SUV) is big foe fall season number 14! The comedies The Middle (4th season) and Suburgatory (2nd season) return for more hilarity, and Supernatural is back for a whopping 8th season (I would think that would be some kind of record for a horror series).
