Fall 2011 new TV shows (((new update about Awake on post 185)))

31,436 2,810 September 21, 2011 at 12:01 PM in Entertainment (5) Youtube
So what do you think about the new shows so far?

I like New Girl, it was a bit awkward and slow at the beginning but by the end of the show, I was hooked. There were some funny jokes and good casting. I love the Small spoiler:


Two Broke Girls, I made the mistake of watching a short clip online about a week ago and thought it looked terrible but DH set it to tape. Turns out the short clip was the least funny line in the whole show, the rest of the show was witty and downright funny.


Unforgettable, meh. I'll watch one more because DH wants to, but wasn't that fussed over it. There were a couple of really annoying points in the show. Huge spoiler:


Free Agents, really liked this one. Good cast and a really good pilot. Just hope they can keep it up without it becoming tired.


The Secret Circle. Typical trying to cash in on Twilight show, only with witches. Couldn't get through one episode.


Same thing with Ringer, had to turn it off part way through the pilot.


Some shows I'm looking forward to, haven't aired yet....

Awake (no air date at this time but the trailer is really interesting and the lead actor is one of my faves, he's British)
Grimm (trailer looks good, even though the premise sounds silly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh3rFsv_WSE it airs 10/28, date changed)
Pan Am (Like Madmen in the air?Dontknow airs 9/25)
Person of Interest (the trailer looks really good, interesting premise airs 9/21)
Prime Suspect (there's a British Show by the same name, so I guess they're doing an American version Dontknow Airs 9/22)

I like New Girl. It's like a quirkier, modern Three's Company with one girl and three guys. But, there's no slapstick comedy that John Ritter was famous for.

Anyone watching Glee this year? I think it's been pretty bad. Of course, I only like the show because of Lea Michelle. And, they haven't been emphasizing her character much. They've introduced new characters and many of this season's episodes have other characters singing. I don't care for that. Only Lea Michelle for me!

Really the original Prime Suspect from the UK with Helen Mirren in it was so much better. You should check it out, I think you would both enjoy it.

Quote :
Synopsis: Oscar winner Helen Mirren is Detective Jane Tennison, "one of the great character creations of our time" (Washington Post), in a series that won more than 20 major international awards and raised the bar for police dramas. Tenacious, driven, and deeply flawed, Tennison rises through the ranks of Britain's Metropolitan Police, solving horrific crimes while battling office sexism and her own demons. "Rare is the drama that works so well on two levels: as a crackling whodunit and as a finely tuned character study of a strong but insecure woman trying to prove herself in a man's world" (Time).

Goddammit I liked Prime Suspect a LOT. Mad

I'm also hooked on Once Upon A Time. LOVING the new spin on Disney stories & trying to figure out who all the characters are/were.

Grimm, not so much... hoping it gets better & I'm DVR'ing it along with everything else but... I dunno it's not scratchin' me where I itch I guess.

Me too. They occassionally bring back shows due to fan response. I guess its time to start writing to their website.

Netflix has it but DVD only. Amazon has it but they charge per episode. I would guess there are other places that have it too. Whistling
