Title: Fall T.V. season 2016
Post by: DaLittle B on September 16, 2016, 10:31:28 am
I realize that a lot of the Network T.V. fall seasons are starting up...

I'm curious,What are you looking forward too returning,new shows this fall?

I really don't have alot ot look forward too T.V. wise. I've found a ton of shows,that I like a season or so,then get bored,or just flat out less impressed with.

Mr Robot- I really liked the first 6 episodes or so, but felt disappointed in the direction,and like it jumped it's own shark by the end of the season.

American Horror Story, Loved first 2 seasons,3rd season meh.I lost interest in the first few episodes of freakshow,and I've never watched it again.


- New shows
Pitch - I rarely like,or watch anything on Fox in the past several years.I really like the Idea of the ahow,a woman pitching in MLB, but don't know if It will have enough for me to keep tuning in for very long.

- Show I'm watching
Penn and Teller Fool us
Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel
Ozzy and Jack's world detour- I don't watch it when it comes out I tend to catch it when it's on like 3 episodes in a row,but Have found it mildly amusing.

- Returning shows
Real Time with Bill Maher (returning tonight)
Last week with John Oliver

Shark tank...Sort of, I like seeing the new products,but I've grown tired of the the show itself...

Finished this year
I watched the season finally of Ripper Street last night,and next year is the final season. :-\ :'(
Orphan Black- I felt pretty disappointed in the past season,I really don't care enough to watch the final season next year.

I'm still watching AHS and I'm not sure why as  have had little interest in the horror genre in movies but this show has kept me.

I'm looking forward to Agents of Shield and the debut of Ghost Rider in it. He is easily they biggest character to appear in the series.

I also love the HBO combo of Bill Maher & John Oliver.

Other than that there are shows I watch but don't consider myself in love with. Some of those are Shameless, Elementary, Modern Family, etc.

Yes!  I am really looking forward to this as well.

Mr. Robot is probably my favorite show right now.  Looking forward to the return of THE WALKING DEAD. 

All of my CW DC shows as well.  Debating on if I'm going to watch Supergirl, as the first episode was beyond horrible back when it was on CBS, but I still dig Flash, Arrow and to an extent, Legends of Tomorrow.

Off the top of my head the only show I'm really looking forward to is The Americans, and this probably isn't for a couple months.  There's probably a couple others, but just can't think of any right now.

Definitely looking forward to Agents of SHIELD, and definitely ready for new episodes of Supernatural.

I'm interested in maybe checking out Westworld on HBO and Atlanta on FX.  I sounds like a douche, but network TV (like CBS and NBC and stuff) just cannot hold my interest any more and haven't for years.  Even shows I kinda like, I find to burn out within a season, once I get the revolving premise.

The Walking Dead and Fargo. Not sure when Fargo will be back though. Still gotta find season 1 somewhere and watch it.

^^^ I recorded it, but I am not optimistic that it is my type of show. Even with my beloved San Diego Padres as the backdrop.

Firefly falls under Sci-Fi Western and people love that.

I have been watching Atlanta.  I loved the first few episodes.  I don't know if it will be able to keep it's edge, but so far, so good.

I gave it a try and really wanted to pick this show up. After two episodes, I found myself not paying attention when I tried to watch the third. I liked it but I just don't know if I liked it enough to pick it up as one of my standard shows I watch.

I just really am attracted to the tone.  It's kind of indescribable.  ...drama-ish, comedy at times.  But also, a pretty honest look at society in the urban black community.

Speaking of...Luke Cage is pretty good.  I'm about halfway through it right now.

I happened to catch the 1st episode of Designated Survivor the other week and thought it was okay, missed the second episode though.  I never watched Arrow before, not sure if I even remember hearing of the show before, but caught the 1st two seasons over the weekend when I was laid up with a bad back.  I see season (5) is starting now; should I go back and try and watch seasons 3 & 4 before watching season 5??

I slacked on Jessica Jones...  I watched some more last night so I'm on episode 4.  Once that's done, I'll jump to Luke Cage.   But, so far, him kicking ass in JJ is the best part of the show.

Spoiler alert...he continues to kick ass in Luke Cage.

David Tennant was the best part of Jessica Jones, but as a Dr. Who fan, I'm biased.  Even when he was trying to do good, he was completely incapable of understanding the the difference between right and wrong.

I'll dive into Luke Cage soon.  I'm just reticent to do so, even though I'm positive the show will be bad ass.  Between the two DD seasons and the one JJ season, Netflix has earned my viewership in this universe regardless of any preconceived notion.  I've just never enjoyed the character in the comics.  Back in my day, he was so clearly a blacksploitation character, he and his sidekick (the next Netflix hero, Ironfist) always fell flat for me.  They'd shoehorn them into an X-Men or Spiderman book here and there, but it was normally handled poorly and usually a one off to spur Luke Cage/Powerman sales.  My only favorable memories of him are him enjoying Hostess fruit cakes at the end of other titles.

I always felt the same way...that him and Iron Fist were lame.  They even touch on his look he had back in the 'blacksploitation' days in a funny way.  The way I came into it:  I didn't even know who Jessica Jones was, watched the show, and liked it a lot.  I figured they'd give Cage the same treatment.  His character isn't as lame as it was back in the day.  I'd put it on par with all of the other Netfilx Marvel shows.

That's the next one I'm trying out after Luke Cage.

Westworld was absolutely nuts... It's one of the rare shows where, after watching the first episode (which I recorded), I wanted to immediately go back and watch the episode again, just to make sure I didn't miss any details.

I'm not sure if I like Westworld or not,the first episode was cool.The opening shot with gave me the willy's,it was such a understated,piece of awesome.I worry that the artificial intelligence story will bore me,as a other shows (and movies) have already gone to the A.I. gets too smart,and takes over,etc,etc.

I love the Ed Harris role,background,who he really is,and curious to know where it goes in future episodes.

I watched Westworld last night based on Stroke's review and have to say I like it so far.

my watch list is pretty tame for the most part.

Modern Family
Big Bang Theory
Blackish
Last Man Standing
AHS
Fear the Dead
Ballers
Survivor
Exorcist
and now Westworld

I'd like to get into Last Survivior but Kiefer Sutherland is such a turn-off. It seems like no one likes the guy who works with him so that makes him annoying to me.

Definitely looking forward to the return of Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, The Americans and Outlander

Add me for watching Westworld last night. I knew I wanted to try it but I was skeptical. I really enjoyed episode 1.

Got around to watching Westworld with the wife. Loved the intro, but thought it was a bit slow overall and didn't really grab me like I thought it would.
