My Fall TV Schedule
As anybody who reads this blog knows (and people who follow me on twitter---@df2506 or facebook), I'm a huge TV bug. I watch a TON of stuff on TV. And this Fall, wow. There is some really interesting stuff. Here's what I'll be watching.
MONDAY
9PM---HAWAII FIVE-0: Going into its 3rd season in the Fall. This show is a lot better than you'd thin it would be. What really makes it is the friendship between the two main guys: McGarrett and Dan-o. The show is good well written popcorn fun.
Also on at 9, most likely I'll watch it ON DEMAND (but maybe live...)
REVOLUTION: A brand new show for NBC. In Revolution all the power goes out (in America at least). That means no working cars, no electricity, nothing! 15 years later, people are just trying to survive and all of the old buildings and cars and stuff are completly covered in plants. The show looks like an epic 'Walking Dead' type deal (no zombies though). It looks tthe best out of all the new shows imo.
TUESDAY
9PM---VEGAS: A new show for CBS. Vegas is set in the 1960s and follows a sheriff (played by Dennis Quaid) trying to keep the peace in Vegas while also having to deal with mobsters trying to take over the place. It looks really good and has some really good actors in it. I'm hoping its a fun show.
WEDNESDAY
7PM---ARROW: A new show for CW. Arrow is about Green Arrow, aka Oliver Queen, as he fights crime with his trusty bow & arrow (he is a DC COMICS character). I saw a preview of this yesterday and it looks good. I hope it is!
8PM---SUPERNATURAL: Returning for its 8th season of CW. Supernatural is a show about two brothers who hunt monsters (vampires, werewolves, etc). Its a really good show and I'm glad its coming back next season! I'm also glad that it has a new timeslot on Wednesdays!
9PM---CSI: Returning for its 100th season....not! But its gotta be its 11 or 12. Maybe more? I've lost count. The orignal CSI is still the best though. It now stars Ted Danson, who does a really good job on the show. Glad its coming back.
THURSDAY
7PM---LAST RESORT: A new show for ABC. In Last Resort, an American Naval Sub is given the order to nuke a country. They refuse the order, go rogue, and end up taking over an island! The concept is unique for ABC and the show looks intersting. Hope its good!
8PM---PERSON OF INTEREST: Returning for its second season! Person of Interest is about two guys, Reese and Finch, who help people who need help with the aid of a machine that sees everything and can predict when someone is in trouble. This is a really well written, well acted show, with lots of action and drama. I'm VERY glad its coming back.
9PM--ELEMENTARY: A new show for CBS. Elementary transports Sherlock Holmes to modern day...and New York. Holmes is still British (thank goodness). The show also features an American female Watson. Saw a trailer for this and it looked better than I thought it would. It didn't look anywhere as good as Sherlock (from the BBC), but it looked interesting. Not sold on the female Watson character, especially because she is played by an actress I'm not a fan of. We'll see how that works out...
FRIDAY
7PM---TOUCH: Returning for its second season! Touch is about a boy who can find the threads linking people together and, through his dad, he can help people connect with each other and make good things happen. Its a bit hard to explain. lol. But its a very good show and I'm glad its coming back.
8PM---FRINGE: Coming back for its fifth and FINAL season. Fringe will get 13 episodes and will finish out its storyline. The show is, basically, about three people who investigate strange events that nobody explain. Its a really cool show! I'm going to miss it when it ends.
9PM---BLUE BLOODS: Returning for its third season! Blue Bloods stars Tom Selleck. Its a cop show that centers around a family with two cops, one former cop, and a lawyer. Its a really good show.
SATURDAY
GRIMM: This is actually on Fridays, but we can't see it till Saturday for awhile. After Fringe ends, we'll be able to watch it on Fridays. Grimm is about a cop who also happens to come from a long line of monster hunters. The cops best friend is a "monster" named Monore. Sort of a 'big bad wolf'. The shows stories are inspired by Grimm Fairy Tales and other dark fairy tales too. Its a good show and I'm glad its coming back.
8PM---DR. WHO: Coming back in August! Can't wait. Dr. Who is a fantastic series. So well written, well acted, and lots of fun. I love it.
SUNDAY
7PM---ONCE UPON A TIME: One of the best new shows this season! It had an amazing season finale. I can't wait to see what they do next season! Once Upon A Time is fairy tale characters who are cursed to live in the normal world by the evil queen from Snow White. The show also shows flashbacks to the world that the fairy tale characters came from. The best way I can find to describe it short hand: think Lost meets Disney characters. This show is a blast! And its good one for the whole family.
8PM---WALKING DEAD: Going on its Third season in October. Oh man, this show is one of the best, if not THE best, shows on TV right now. The writing on this show is so great and the acting is too. Not recommended for the weak of stomach though. There are a lot of gross stuff in this show. But if you can get past the grossness, you'll find complex characters and really good storyline. I highly recommend this one to older viewers.
And thats it! Thats, mostly, what I'll be watching in the Fall. There are probably one or two or three shows that I left out because I either forgot about them or they don't come back till later. I'll update this list if I can think of any of them. lol.
