New TV Season

Remove all ads!

Well, after a summer that was saved from TV doldrums only through a lovely stockpile of anime on the TiVo, it's time for the new TV season to start! "House" is already running, and the CBS dramas roll out this week - it seems that most of the ones I watch are on CBS, go figure. We pay no attention to sitcoms, and aside from L&O and House and Desperate Housewives, not much on the other networks, either.

House has maintained its standard of greatness so far, IMO, except for Cameron's new hairdo. NCIS and Criminal Minds started off powerfully. We have CSI:NY recorded; tonight brings CSI and tomorrow, Numb3rs.

As for the new shows... we watched "Smith" on Tuesday. It seems to be worth another watch or two, but we haven't wishlisted it yet. We recorded Jericho and will catch Heroes. Ah, dramas...

So what are you enjoying so far, or anticipating eagerly?

 

My wife and I are eagerly awaiting "Lost" as well as the different "CSI" series.

I also like "NCIS" so will be watching it as well.

 

The.
Simpsons.
Series.
17.

And a long way behind that:
- 3rd series of Bro'Town
- Dr Who
- Little Angels
- Supernanny
- Money Man
- Prehistoric Park (will let the boy stay up a bit later to watch that)
- Ghost Hunters (no idea why I like the look of that, even though it sounds ridiculous)

 

Does Hockey Night in Canada count? To tell you the truth I really don't watch much regular t.v. and when I do I usually wait until it comes out on DVD.

 

House is not nearly as good as last season or seaons 1, but maybe it will as more episodes occur. Standoff is good, Justice is great. Except they keep being not guilty and innocent. At least make some guilty and actually commit the crime, or guilty and truly innocent, or not guilty and truly guilty. 4 episodes with the same verdict and reality? Blah.

 

I'm a 24 die-hard, but my work and social schedule is so erratic that I'm never home when my favorite shows are on very often. So I usually wait till about a year or so after a season airs - when they go from "new release" to the standard rack in the video store - and just rent entire seasons at once. I've done that with all the 24's, the first season of Lost and Alias, and the final season of HBO's excellent Oz, which I missed out on when I moved. Next up is HBO's Carnivale.

 

We have watched the first CSI:New York, and :Miami and they seem to up to snuff. CSI: starts tonight and that is set to record as well as the new show Shark with James Woods who is one of my favorite actors. I hate to admit it but I am an avid Survivor watcher and that started last week. As for watching anything when it is actually on, forget it, I use my DVR to recoerd everything and whatch it in much less time by fast forwarding the commercials.

 

I watch Grey's Anatomy, Entourage and House.

 

I watched the premire of CSI. Stupid, stupid Kathrine.

 

kuemp, were you surprised in the slightest by the ending of Sara's case last night, when the guy was signing for the dead guy's belongings? I certainly wasn't.

 

Of the shows listed thus far, I've only seen The Simpsons and Dr Who.

Monday Night Football, Sunday Football, And Thursday Night Football. Championship Series and World Series. Yep, a new TV season is starting... I don't watch any of the other stuff unless I'm bored.

 

After hearing a bunch of people babbling on about how good Heroes' premiere was I downloaded it and I am just shaking my head at the suggestions that there is anything new or unique about it. At least the creators had the guts to mention the X-Men comics. I wonder if Marvel is going to sue these guys like they did the people who made Mutant X.

 

I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but I'm eagerly awaiting Lost, Season 3. I hope it will be better than the 2nd one. And there's that new show, about the bunch of people who are taken hostage in a bank roberry. The show will be character driven. It sounds promising.

And there's always the ever entertaining UFC shows as well as the Hockey season...

 

I don't really watch much TV. All I really watch are the sports channels. One thing I am looking forward to is the series 2 of Rome. Loved the first series.

 

Rome will likely--though not definitely--be ending with season 2. Season two won't be starting until early/mid 2007.

 

The only programs I watched in the last season were the three CSI shows (of which Miami is the weakest) and the first few episodes of A town called Eureka, a bit silly but fun. Then I stopped watching and buy the DVD's instead, and the only thing I watch now is Sport and the occasional Movie.

 

Lost, Smallville (already started), and Shark (mainly because Sarah Carter is in it). I am also anticipating the next Rome season, although I have no clue about when it begins.

 

Did anybody watch the premiere episode of The Nine? (it played on ABC after Lost). It was really weird. It's about nine strangers who are taken hostages in a bank robbery, and they all bond throught the thing.

But the strange thing is that, in the first 15 minutes, you see a bit of every character and how they get to the bank. Then, the two armed men enter, and it skip to 54 hours later when they're rescued by the police. The rest of the episode is set 1 week and like 1 month after the robbery... It's weird, because you really want to see what happened in the bank, and you feel no sympathy to the characters, because you don't know what they went through..
