Prime Time New Shows

I wait with a modicum of impatience for the NEW Fall TV schedule to get underway. I will watched the new shows as they present their premier episodes and then based on my reactions to seeing the first show will decide if the show is worth watching on a regular basis. Last season I liked the show that premiered then, "Eli Stone", about the Lawyer who had visions of George Michael's, I found the premise somewhat far fetched, but the well written scripts and good directing and acting make the program quite entertaining, and I look forward to its return,---even with all the commercial breaks every five minutes..
Its not a new show, but another one that I have grown to like, mainly for the sheer idiocy of it, and again the great writing of dialog and that's "The Big Bang Theory". I also look forward to the return of "NCIS" and "Brothers and Sisters".
One new show that is already being hyped to death, and whose title escapes me, has a guy running around in a big green plastic diaper-----I am pretty sure THAT show won't be on my must see list---and its being hyped so heavy I can only assume its a weak show. If it were any good it wouldn't have to be hyped so heavy. The new fall schedule will at least offer us all some modicum of entertainment and allow us to ignore the tedium of the presidential race, which has been going on, and on and on------

  1. I am hoping (but not holding my breath) that the time for reality shows is soon to expire.
    Talk about the dumbing down of society.

  2. I didn't really get into "Eli Stone" ... but I love "The Big Bang Theory" and also on the same night "Two & A Half Men". I really enjoy "NCIS" and "Criminal Minds" too. Of course September will bring the new season of "Dancing With the Stars" and I will be a happy girl!

  3. Hmmm...guess I'm dumb then..cause I enjoy some of the reality shows. I say to each his own...I'm not too thrilled with some of the "so called" well written shows either, but would not called people that watch them dumb! Talk about profiling....
