Fall TV, Week 3

Greetings from fall TV week 3. Only one show has yet to premiere: Emily Owens, M.D. It premiere's Tuesday.

 

Three shows premiered this week:

·         Nashville: I think I made it about as long as my niece Margeaux. I love Connie Britton and Eric Close, but I didn’t like their characters (especially his), and I didn’t like any other characters. Especially Hayden Panettiere. She was awesome as the little girl in Remember the Titans. Since then? Not so much.

·         Arrow: I love a good origin story (this is the story of the super hero Green Arrow), and this does not disappoint. We’ll see how it holds up across a series.

·         Chicago Fire: For the first 55 minutes, we were both saying “It’s not Rescue Me,” but the last five minutes were nice, so we’ll watch again.

·         Beauty and the Beast: I added this for Vic, but I watched the first episode with him. I won’t be watching any more. (Not that it was horrible, but I already watch too much TV, and something has to go.)

 

Where I am on my “bubble” shows:

·         666 Park Avenue: As I said, I’m intrigued. Tonight is the third episode, so I should be making a decision soon.

·         Partners. I do not know why I am still watching this.

·         The New Normal: I don’t know why I am still watching this.

 

Tidbits:

·         Looks like my friend Michelle and I were both wrong. She chose Partners as the first cancelled show. I chose Men with Kids (or whatever it’s called). But it was Made in Jersey. Thank goodness I dropped it before I started watching it.

·         You know what I love about Modern Family? Everything.

·         Grease is the word! I may be on the bubble about Glee, but I’ll stay with it for that!

·         I love how every episode of Revolution has an awesome twist in it.

 

To Niece Margeaux re Grey’s: They intended to air the information out of order. Vic was excited because when they played the first episode, he thought we were going to get to skip all the blah-bu-di-blah blah blah crap about their time in the woods and the first six months. He was mightily disappointed when the second episode aired.
