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.
|
I'd say it stands a decent chance of sucking but I'll be checking the first episode or two of How To Be A Gentleman ft. Rickety Cricket, Johnny Drama and DAMMIT CHLOE
|
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
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.
|
OMAR f'n LITTLE is in the upcoming season of Community for anybody that didn't know as well as John Goodman

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 |
Quote:
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

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.
|
I feel the more important gist to point out when it comes to Breaking Bad is that it is fucking brilliant. Watch it now. Like right now.
|
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.

in fact, might watch Season 2 again starting tonight since I saw the 1st a bunch of times but haven't really re-watched 2
|
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:

Continue Watching
How I Met Your Mother Glee The Middle Modern Family Happy Endings Dexter The Walking Dead Califorincation 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 pay attention to Ron Swanson, Tom Haverford and Andy and who they are interacting with for that ep and you can kind of zone out for the rest. Those 3 characters are "the shit".
|
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.
|
Quote:
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.
|
Quote:
|
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.
|
Quote:
|
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 |
Quote:
|
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? |

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.

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?
|
|
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. |
