2011-12 Fall TV Thread
 

Well folks, it's that time of year again.

With the half season summer shows either wrapping up or taking a break, its about we time we discuss the fall television line up. Some shows are getting ready or already have debuted and others get started later than usual, I'm looking at you Bones fans.

So take some time to share what you're going to continue watching, what new shows you're interested in, and hell, make some predictions on who's going to get the early ax.

For those who are clueless as to what's on, here's a link to tvguide.com for the weekly line-up.

Continue watching:

House
NCIS
NCIS: LA
Sons of Anarchy
Nikita

Should start watching:

Blue Bloods
The Good Wife :o
Bones
Criminal Minds

Will check out:

L&O SVU: Top to bottom cast shake up. Gotta see how it works out.
Person of Interest
Terra Nova


Early Ax:

The Playboy Club
Pan Am

Probably going to be checking out Person of Interest, Ringer and Once Upon a Time.

I will probably check out "2 Broke Girls" on CBS, even though it looks terrible. Will only check it out because of Kat Dennings.

I'll probably check at least the first episode of "Terra Nova".

Will definitely check out ABC's "Once Upon a Time", even though I wish they would have gone through with their "Fables" series instead.

And that is probably it out of the new shows.

Since I have a total of 1-2 hours per day that I can catch up on tv and don't have a DVR (Comcast On Demand or VCR is it), I'll probably not add anything new to my viewing at this time.

Monday: I cant get myself excited for Tera Nova..so probably nothing.

Tuesday: New Girl at 9 on Fox...Id watch Ringer with SMG at 9 but I dont get CW in HD and our CW station's PQ is abysmal, so I wont bother.

Wednesday: nothing

Thursday: Big Bang Theory..will give HTBAG after a shot, and Prime Suspect at 10 on NBC gets a shot.

Friday: Fringe

Saturday..lol

Sunday: FOX Animation from 8-10, wish Bob's Burgers was at 8:30 instead of Allen Gregory but it doesnt look too bad. Bobs Burgers comes back midseason but then they dump American Dad in favor of the fucking Napoleon Dynamite cartoon..ugh

Terra Nova and Ringer looks interesting. Think I will get into Community one of these days. As for the ones I usually watch they are:

Monday

• Castle
• Warehouse 13
• Eureka

Thursday

• The Big Bang Theory
• The Mentalist
• The Vampire Diaries
• Bones
• The Office

Friday

• Supernatural
• Fringe
• Chuck
• Sanctuary
• Spartacus

Sunday

• Family Guy
• American Dad
• Dexter
• True Blood
• Top Gear

I don't watch TV, I just download them all.

chuck got canned..I think

If you're not watching Community, you're dead to me.

It's in the line-up in that link in the op and I don't see anything about it being canceled.

Ah, it was only renewed for one final shortened season.

Dexter and Walking Dead!

I give the majority of new shows a chance...at least two episodes unless the first one is god awful...too many to list at the moment.

And of course all the returning shows I watch...also far too many to list

Yeah, this.

Big Bang Theory is not good, guys. Stop telling innocent people like me that it is.

Kinda looking forward to the Whitney Cummings and Zooey Deschanel sitcoms

This year doesn't look too impressive in terms of new shows.

I'll probably watch Whitney Cummings show

Well it is, so there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nah, Community is good, BBT is mediocre. It's different, but not really funny or clever. Community is hilarious, original, and pretty damn clever. Sadly though, most people don't know about it because they watch canned form comedies.

Not saying BBT is bad. Haven't cared enough to watch enough of it to make that decision. But I'm definitely saying Community is better, and BBT gets a lot more praise than it deserves. It's not special, it's just sort of there.

What's the gist of Breaking Bad?

High School Chemistry Teacher finds out he has cancer. In an effort to make some real money before he goes, he teams up with a former student to go into the business of making Meth.

seconded

I like how towards the end of episode 7 of Community turns into the end of The Dark Knight.

Can't wait for the Vampire Diaries to start...gonna be a hot season.

Gonna check out Kiefer Sutherland's new show.

Ringer for sure as I :love: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Secret circle seems to be good as it's going to follow the Vampire Diaries.

Community, The Office usual favorites.

Sadly I'll watch the first 2-3 episodes of 90210 just to see where they go with it.

And some doctor show staring Rachel Bilson. Cause I loved her on The OC

Never even heard of this Ringer show, but will probably check it out now.

Parks and Rec is the best show going

I don't have a DVR for this upcoming season :mad: Can't wait to see how Brannon Braga can fuck up another sci-fi series with Terra Nova. It must be the killing Kirk Curse or maybe he's just not that good.

Kinda wish they did that series about the policemen with magic powers. It might have been a fun diversion from the normal crap cop dramas they keep churning out.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Bored to Death here yet. Can't wait to catch up on season two on demand for whenever it starts up agian.

White Abed.

That is streets ahead.

Didn't think the second season was as good as the first. Maybe. I dunno. I need to watch both again.

just downloaded both seasons of Bored To Death because of this thread

it is fucking incredible, love Ted Danson so much

Can't wait for Fringe, House, Dexter, Bones, Castle, Supernatural, 30 Rock and The Big Bang Theory! :D

Also January we get more Californication!

2 shows that have become so incredibly shit that are off my list this year are Greys Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. Yeah I'm a great big fag for watching them all this time, but we all gotta have our guilty pleasures.

No ones mentioned the Charlies Angels reboot..Im wondering about it..

Never heard of it.

Hopefully it will stay true to the movies.

lol

you do realize it was a TV show in the 70s before it was a movie right?

He does now!

Here's an episode of the 70's version condensed into 6ish minutes:

Begin Watching
2 Broke Girls
New Girl

I may get into others by accident, but these are the ones I am planning.

Watched the New Girl pilot. Damon Wayans, Jr. was the best part of it. Sucks that he won't be in the series.

No love for NBC's Grimm?

Just watched the New Girl pilot as well. Pretty enjoyable.

Just watched Ringer.

Not completely sold on it.

Will probably watch the second ep and make a decision.

Probably gonna get canceled anyways.

Just watched the New Girl pilot and I really liked it. Hopefully losing Damon Wayans Jr doesn't affect the flow too much

Is that show he's on, on ABC any good?

Going to be checking out both The New Girl and Ringer online a bit later on. Hoping I like Ringer just cause I love Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Ringer was okay without being groundbreaking. It was very soap opera-like. I'll probably keep watching to see wher they head with it, the ending has me interested.

New Girl was pretty fun. Zooey Deschanel was adorable and like a couple of others have said Damon Wayans Jr was really enjoyable in it, "sucks" that he won't be in it full time.

Watched a few episodes of Parks and Recreation but I don't think I will be watching anymore. I guess I only like the quasi-documentary thing with The Office and I don't dislike Amy Poehler but I just can't seem to watch or hear her for too long.

Just watched Ringer. Pretty lame and predictable. Done with that one.

H8R was eh...one of those reality shows where I'll check out who the celebrity on it is first before I commit to watching it.

About to watch Up All Night.

Gonna watch American Horror Story on FX when it starts in October

Watched Up All Night. Pretty "eh". Probably gonna be canned.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'm a big Will Arnett fan, but this character doesn't seem to fit him. I'll give it at least one more episode.


Watched Free Agents. Could see myself getting into it, but I wouldn't be sad to see it chopped. Hate that it's "based" in my hometown while looking nothing like my hometown tho.

2 Broke Girls is cute. It will probably be canned though.

Yeah it's pretty good. Has a Scrubs-ish vibe.

After the second episode, I think I am done with Ringer.

ffs start watching Boardwalk Empire. Best show on TV.

New Girl was pretty good, but there's only so much I can take of the "sexy girl trying to do unsexy things" act.

Watched CSI this morning. I think Ted Danson is gonna be a pretty cool character this season.

Going to tune in to Person In Interest in a bit. Let's see if Abrams can go 2-3 in TV shows.

Gotta say, I did not really care for The Office season opener.

<font color=goldenrod>It started off pretty good but then took a nose dive. Hopefully it's better next week.

:lol: @ Robert California becoming the CEO in one day</font>

Did not care for the Robert California character at all. I liked him fine in his guest spot... but... dunno... just have zero desire to ever see him again.

Should have got Finger lakes guy like I said.

I thought it was awesome actually...

Person of Interest is decent. I'll give it another try next week to see if I'll stay hooked.

^ Its sorta like a bastard version of Big Bang Theory and I laughed enough to figure I'll keep watching it.

Plus without the cheesy laugh track

I bet they don't use a live audience for all 20+ episodes

Anywho.

Crazy how much better American Dad is than Family Guy

Really? American Dad is ok essa but it not as good as family guy. Its always sunny is the best show on TV right now though. Fact.

Tried watching PanAm out of curiosity. Turned it off after about 3 minutes.

watching Two Broke Girls because that blonde girl is the love of my life

Watched PanAm out of love for Christina Ricci.

How many shows want to be Mad Men?

I watched it cause of the OTHER girl.

Amazing episode.
I watched it cuz of Kat but there's something about that blonde that attracts me to her a lot.

DVR'd Boardwalk Empire. Can't wait to watch it tonight.

Second episode of Up All Night was better. Enough to make me keep watching for now.

Love New Girl.

New Girl is horrible. Also, why did they switch token black guys?

New Girl is great and they recast Damon Wayans Jr because he was already on the ABC show Happy Endings.

I'm in fucking love with Revenge. Addictive as all hell and an awesome cathartic way to spend an hour.

I really hope they keep up with the Revenge of the week format.

Also really good is a BBC show called The Fades.

No...it's not good at all. Nothings funny about it. Zoey Daschal is awkward to the point that it makes me feel awkward. Its pretty horrible.

I'm in love with the star of this show.

I'm in love with her character's cold calculation. There's something about people who are determined to the point of sociopathy that is utterly fascinating to watch. People are saying they hope she softens up, I'm hoping she doesn't

Post pics of her imo

What's her name?

Emily VanCamp

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0885840/

Question about this show Lara. Are they making her a Dexter like character? That would be hot. Like Dexter meets Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, out for revenge.

If so, I might need to take a close look.
