A few shows have
begun their fall tv seasons, but this week, many of them arrive in full force. I’m not too crazy about where some of my favorite shows have been
rescheduled to – specifically, Chicago Fire moving from Wednesday night to
Tuesday night. Tuesday nights are always busy nights at work and I usually
don’t get the chance to do more than casually glance at the shows as they’re
airing. Yet, most of my favorite shows seem to end up on Tuesday nights. Damn!
Tonight brings the return of 2 Broke Girls and Castle. I haven’t really been much
of a fan of Castle, but have been
watching a few reruns lately on TNT. I guess it’s one of those shows that if it’s on
my tv screen, I’ll probably watch. It used to be that I’d just change the
channel if it was on, so I guess that’s progress, right? I consider myself a
‘casual’ watcher of 2BG and if I remember that it’s on, I’ll watch, just to get
my fix of Max snarkasm. However, since it’s a comedy, I don’t really get too
invested in the show. For some reason, comedies just can’t keep my interest.
Tonight also
brings two new shows that I’m interested to check out – Hostages and The
Blacklist.
As luck would have it, they’re both on at the same time. Of course. Sleepy Hollow premiered last week. It wasn’t too bad, but I’m hoping there are a few less head-choppings as the show continues.

Tomorrow brings the season 11 premiere of NCIS
I know this show is going to destroy me. I’ve heard the first two episodes of the season deal with Ziva’s departure, and I’m just not ready to deal with that. From what I’ve heard about the various characters who will come & go until they settle with Ziva’s eventual replacement, Bishop, I just may have to ‘let go’ of this show for a little while.
The season 2 premiere of Chicago Fire is tomorrow as well. I’m glad to have this show back, after we left season 1 with a bunch of different storylines – Mills not making squad and going to the Police Academy for an application (I wouldn’t mind him leaving for the PA. He started out as a sweet, naïve newbie, but they turned him into a whiny, grumbly pain in the ass), Severide & Shay running into a pregnant Renee, a big sports bar starting up right down the block from Molly’s, Dawson consoling Casey after the loss of Hallie, Mouch meeting his online girlfriend, and the birth of Kenny Hermann.
There are a few
new shows that premiere tomorrow that are on my radar. I’ve watched the pilots
for two of them – The Goldbergs and Trophy Wife – and predictably, I
didn’t get past the first five minutes of either of them before giving up. Two
other new shows – Lucky 7 and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – I
have yet to see. However, I’m guessing I’ll probably like MAOS since it’s on at
the same time as NCIS, because that’s just how my luck runs.
Revolution returns on Wednesday. However, this
might be a show that gets crossed off my list, considering that they killed off
the main reason I watched this show – Daneilla Alonso’s character, Nora.
Other
returning shows on Wednesday include SVU and CSI. SVU returns with Liv
in the clutches of a monster. And CSI…well, I guess I never did watch last
season’s finale, but I know that there’s apparently a ‘significant’ character
that ends up in a coffin in the season premiere. Since Chicago Fire isn’t on at
the same time as CSI this season, maybe I’ll catch a few more eps. Then again,
probably not. The only CSI episode on my radar is the 300th, which
brings back Marg as Catherine Willows.
A new show
starting up this Wednesday that I had on my ‘to watch’ schedule was Back
in the Game. I wasn’t impressed after watching the pilot, but hopefully
things will improve as I do kind of like some of the cast. It feels like a
crass version of “Bad News Bears.”
