2012-13 Fall TV Thread
 

Okay TPWW. It's almost that time of year again. Fall TV returns.

As usual we ask the each other the questions:

What new shows you going to try out?

Which returning shows are excited to see?

Which shows are you giving up on?

Early predictions for who's getting the ax 2-3 episodes in, etc.

And of course, feel free to post your reviews of the new stuff you watch so that we can jump on your bandwagon or you jump off it.

For me (no spoilers, you should well aware of any cliffhangers or plots by now :foc:):

Sons of Anarchy: Jax is running the club while Clay is on the bench licking is wounds. But where's Opie?

NCIS: The Tony/Ziva hook-up better happen this season. Hope Ducky don't die. :'(

Vegas: Gonna give this a try. Dennis Quaid making the jump to the small screen is pretty big. But gangsters + Las Vegas = win.

Criminal Minds: Jeanne Tripplehorn steps in for Paget Brewster. She's got big shoes to fill so I hope she can deliver.

Castle: Castle and Beckett finally got together. Maybe NCIS should take a couple notes.

The Mob Doctor: With House gone, FOX got nothing going for me. But I might try this. They're saying it's pretty edgy.

Early cancellation prediction: Last Resort. ABC is gonna try again to capitalize on the phenomenon that was Lost. NBC tried with The Event and that didn't work out. I don't think lightning is gonna strike twice for the gang at the alphabet network.


Alright. I know we got some Fringe fanatics here who can't wait for the final season to get their answers. And you superhero suckers who are gonna give Arrow a try. I wanna hear from you.

I will give Arrow a try, probably will not last.

This looks like it could be badass. Will definitely try it.

Fringe is the only one I am genuinely glad to see, frankly.

Well the two that come to kind are the Matthew perry sitcom and that animal hospital one....neither look great but the matthew perry one I hope will be better than it looks.

ANIMAL HOSPITAL?!

Dexter and SOA for me. I'm not sure what else is due back on your screens though. Suits has been good so far too :y:

Not sure what else atm.

I'm just happy that The Office got renewed and we get some closure.


I just finished re-watching season 7. The end of Michael Scott. He promised Erin that she could call him at any time...I really hope that before the end of the run we get a Michael Scott reunion....

Psych should be back soon too. You know that's right.

Why are there so many Sherlock Holmes shows now? Is it just because House ended and people want more Sherlock mysteries except not done well?

Psych usually shows up around early winter, doesn't it?

The Office fans, this season will be the last.

The Office and Boardwalk Empire are must watches.

Michael Strahan is reported to be offically named as Regis' replacement on Live with Kelly.

Thoughts from Big Blue Nation and viewers of a.m. talk shows?

This show is so offbeat but kind of awesome.

Looking forward to Vegas. The 1960s is a hot time period to depict on TV. See Mad Men.

I really enjoyed this. Huge Eddie Izzard mark

FX orders 90 episodes of Charlie Sheen's Anger Management.

Jumping the gun a bit?

Jj Abraham's new show Revolution looks tight.

I think it was in his contract that if they pick it up for a second season it automatically guarantees 90 episodes. Tyler Perry has the same deal with TBS.

I'm interested in Revolution, but I've been burned by projects by Lost writers / producers before, I'm looking at you Once Upon A Time.

Heroes season 3 and 4. I feel ya.

I enjoyed Once Upon A Time. I didn't like where they went with the end of the season, though. I will still watch the second one.

I enjoyed it for the most part but Emma is a pretty bad main character. Seemed like she was just doing and saying the exact same things every episode.

Fall tv begins tonight with Sons of Anarchy.

WHO'S WATCHING?

This guy :D

Go On was decent. Not spectacular, but a good fit for Matthew Perry and a fun concept.

Revolution was friggin awesome.

I thought it doesn't start until next week?

Its on on-Demand.

Monday at 10pm..ugh

Hulu but I have plus

watching Revolution now, pretty sure it's gonna suck, but hopefully not

nevermind Juliet's on it, it's gonna be awesome

I enjoyed it

Billy Burke is very charismatic and the main girl is pretty badass and ludicrously attractive. Will watch it until it is cancelled 3 weeks from now.

What? I'm definitely watching.

From a trailer I saw like 6 months ago or something it looked like it was centered mostly around a group of teenagers. Didn't really appeal to me. Is it centered mostly around a group of teenagers?

Juliet plays the main girl's mom, but I guess she'll only be in it in flashbacks.

And it's really centered around this family with that main teenage girl, her stepmother, her uncle, and one of her dad's friends trying to get the girl's brother back as well as figure out how to stop the power outage. That guy from The Cape appears to be the villain and Gus from Breaking Bad also is in it as a villain.

I would give it a watch I guess.

Dexter
Walking Dead
South Park

Just watched half of some new show on NBC. The show seemed like crap, but Meadow Soprano was looking hot as hell.

Revolution looked pretty good. Sort of wish they didn't include the last scene of the episode. Thought we'd have to wait a bit for something like that.

Watched the Revolution pilot. I enjoyed it. Only thing I dislike about it is Nate. Dude seems like a giant cliche of a character.

I watched Revolution last night and thought it was okay. Only Giancarlo Esposito's character had any sort of appeal to me really. Billy Burke was good as well when he was just talking but then the whole superhero act kinda put me off a bit.

I'll probably keep checking it out for a while because I like the concept but it all looks a bit by the numbers at the moment.

Gonna have to check out this Revolution show based on all the talk about it.

Watched the pilot of "Last Resort". Wasn't really planning on checking the show out, but I was bored.

Seems like a very weird series. Might check out the second episode, just because it has Autumn Reeser, and that one Australian chick from Dollhouse in it.

Revolution reminds me of the Fallout games a little.

Never even heard of this "Homeland" show that won Emmy for Best Dramatic Series

Best new show so far is go on. Revolution second. Everything else is a distant third.

I want to like the new normal but it has put me to sleep the last two weeks...literally. Can't even stay awake until parenthood starts for god sake.

I recorded the first episode of Homeland and then never watched it, because I am a retard

Boardwalk Empire gets renewed for a 4th season.

Glad to here it.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jHOk_0qFvRs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

NBC's Go On, The New Normal, and Revolution have been given full seasons this year.

That's good news. I've enjoyed Revolution so far.

I'm happy for Matthew Perry :y:

Yeah, cause you can never have enough millions of dollars.

By that logic, no one in Hollywood would ever work again after a few movies.

Just bought Colbert's new book! It's in 3-D!!!!

And our first casulalty of the season is.....................


Made in Jersey.

CBS cancels the show after 2 episodes.

Good, show sucked.

Congrats to Go On. I think it's the best new show on TV.

5th times a charm for Chandler Bing

The first 2 new episodes of Supernatural have felt a bit, who cares. Hope the writing improves.

Watching Arrow, about 20 minutes in, LOVING this show already.

Watched Arrow yesterday, loved it, one of the best lines in my mind was when he said "What's Twilight", to the response of "You're better off not knowing".

NBC kills Dane Cook's mid-season show Next Caller before it begins.

Fox renews Bob's Burgers for a 4th season.

Yes!

Apparently, someone at NBC purchased a calendar.

SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR NEW AMERICAN HORROR STORY OMG OMG

:y::y::y::y:

NBC cancels Animal Practice. Whitney is gonna take it's spot starting on November 14th.

:(

Was it any good? I was only gonna check it out for Andy Botwin.

:lol:

That rack.

The Office was pretty funny this week. Kevin was amazing.

Tried watching Nikita last night. Seemed pretty cool what they're doing with it.

Ratings sucked, however. I'm hoping it don't get the ax, I want it to give it a chance to build.

Showtime renews Homeland for a third season.

CW gives Arrow a full season.

CBS gives Vegas and Elementary full seasons.

I'm liking Elementary but haven't really gotten into Vegas.

Arrow is the goods too :y:

G4 cancels Attack of the Show AND X-Play. Both shows will end production at the end of the year.

Wow.

I don't have G4 but aren't those two shows their primary shows?

Pretty much. Besides coverage of E3, Comic-Con, and a few shows here and there. That was it. Hell, I don't think Cheat is on anymore.

But, I think most of us knew that once Munn and Pereira left AOTS, and Sessler left X-Play, they're were on borrowed time.

They are switching away from video games/tech and more into pop culture I think.

USA axes Common Law, Political Animals, and Fairly Legal.

There's a long shot that AMC might revive The Killing. They're gonna try to work out a deal with Netflix.

Please no

I don't watch any USA Original shows other than Psych and the ended series Monk.

The chick on Fairly Legal was pretty hot though.

It's weird, I probably watch USA more than any other non-ESPN network with Raw, White Collar, Suits, Burn Notice, and Psych, plus I also enjoyed Common Law and Political Animals.

Community will be taking 30 Rock's time slot starting in January according to Shirley. Sorry, don't know her real name.

USA renews Burn Notice.

CW's Beauty & the Beast gets a full season. If anyone cares, that is.

FX makes it official. American Horror Story gets a 3rd season.

Like there was any doubt. This weeks episode was an amazing melding mind fuck. :love:

CBS cancels Partners.

And after 10 seasons, American Chopper is wrapping up. Last episode is on December 11th. It's gonna be a live special called "Chopper: The Revenge". A 4-way bike build-off in Las Vegas with Jesse James coming back to challenge them.
