| This may have been on too long to be considered Emmy worthy, but Modern Family is still my favorite show on Wednesday night. Its time slot companion, Black-ish, is also pretty good.
ABC has four comedies on Wednesday night, At 8 PM is Season 7 of The Middle (9/23), 8:30 is Season 3 of The Goldbergs (9/23), at 9 PM is Season 7 of Modern Family (9/23) and at 9:30 is Season 2 of Black-ish (9/23). These are all comedies featuring a FAMILY, and have varying appeals depending on your own tastes. ABC ends the evening at 10 PM with Season 4 of Nashville 9/23), which is about, beleive it or not, country singers in Nashville. The central theme seems to be like the movie All About Eve/Applause, the younger star/protege knocking the older star/ mentor off her perch.
CBS is bringing in Season 11 of Criminal Minds (9/30). It's a crime drama. On CBS. Please contain your surprise. It's more based on psychology and profiling than some. 10 PM has a new show Code Black (9/30), which, amazingly, is not a crime drama. But it is a medical show. Think ER.
NBC has Season 2 of The Mysteries of Laura (9/23) at 8 PM. The biggest mystery about this show is, considering its incredibly low ratings, how it got a second season. I am being unfair as I have not seen this, as described in Entertainment Weekly, "lighthearted detective drama" starring Debra Messing. Castle fills my lighthearted drama quotient. 9 PM has Season 17 (!) of Law & Order:SVU(9/23), another spin-off that has survived past its mothership (Law & Order). Props to Mariska Hargitay for being a part of this series since the start. She has to be in the running for most prime time episodes playing the same character. Speaking of spin-offs, 10 PM has Season 3 of Chicago P.D.(9/30) Or maybe that is the mothership program of the Chicago programs. I'm really not sure.
FOX has a new show at 8 PM, Rosewood (9/23), a police procedural centered on a pathologist in Miami, starring Morris Chestnut. 9 PM is Season 2 of Empire (9/23), about shenanigans in the record industry. Last year, this program got the best ratings of any new network show in a decade or more.
CW starts at 8 PM with Season 4 of Arrow (10/7), which is a pretty good program, except I don't care for all the flashbacks. 9 Pm is Season 11 of Supernatural (10/7). 11 seasons is about a record for scifi/fantasy/horror type programs. Bravo! FX has Season 5 of American Horror Story (10/7), this year centering on a creepy hotel (shades of The Shining) and,,,,,,heeere's Gaga! FXX has Season 7 of The League at 10 PM and Season 2 of You're the Worst. Comedy Central's Adult Swim has Season 19 of South Park (9/16) at 10 PM and new series Moonbeam City (9/16) at 10:30 PM. What does Tom Strait watch? The whole family watches Modern Family and Black-ish. I watch Arrow, comic book fan that I am. I also see American Horror Story, although Alison dropped out of it last year - the evil clowns just became too much. What new shows will I try? On Wednesday, between jack and squat. Nothing new on this night interests me enough to sample. |
