Fall 2009 TV

Yep, I am back after a very long break... I really don't have the time with my current schedule to update this site on a real regular basis, but I do want to take a minute to talk about the new fall TV shows. :-) Here are my thoughts...

LOVE
Vampire Diaries
Flashforward

These, of course are on at the same time. Thursday nights on TV are great, but that makes it hard to watch things. Networks need to learn to spread the wealth. (Though being a television scholar, I know why Thursdays are such a popular day to schedule things.) I highly recommend both of these shows, especially if you like more sci-fi, supernatural type shows.

LIKE
Three Rivers
Melrose Place
Modern Family
Cougar Town

I was surprised by how much I like the first two on this list, as I wasn't expecting to really like either one. The bottom two I seldom get to watch all of, but I think they are some of the best sitcoms to come along in a long time.

OKAY
The Forgotten
The Good Wife
Eastwick
Community
Trauma
Accidentally on Purpose

None of these are bad, though none are "appointment" TV. I am impressed how few shows have been canceled this season. Usually the schedule is littered with causalities at this point!

DISLIKE
Mercy

There may be more that belong on this list, but they did not intrigue me enough to even look at them. Mercy did pique my interest, but it is BAD. Bad acting and bad stories.

STILL CAN'T WAIT FOR
V

November 3 - can't wait. Looks great, is getting awesome reviews, and has my boy, Scott Wolf, in it! :-)
