2010 Fall TV Shows

[JoeHova]

Hi everybody-

 

The fall TV season seems to be kicking off but I haven't really kept up with what was coming out this fall so I'm not really aware of what new shows people are excited about. Has anyone heard anything about what's supposed to be good? It seems like a pretty dry season but, like I said, I haven't really been following the buzz much.

 

So far, I've added only a few new fall shows to my DVR. The ones I've added:

 

Boardwalk Empire (HBO) (Martin Scorsese is apparently involved, and Steve Buscemi stars)

Terriers (FX) (I know nothing about this but it has the faux-cajun guy from True Blood so I thought I'd give it a try)

Nikita (CW) (I liked the movie and I saw that it got a couple of good reviews)

Running Wilde (Fox) (my wife really likes Keri Russell)

 

I also plan on adding No Ordinary Family from ABC because it stars Michael Chiklis, but I'm not optimistic about it being especially good. It hasn't shown up on my scheduler yet though.

 

So, is anybody excited about any shows coming out this fall? What are people going to give a try?

[wallus]

I plan on watching The League of FX and Eastbound and Down is back soon.

[pitchleague]

Hawaii Five-O is the only new show that my wife and I added to the season pass. The new shows look terrible.

We'll be keeping up with the 3 CSI shows, Criminal Minds, and that's about it.

 

 

I added The Event and Outsourced to my personal season pass in baseball room for me to watch.

 

Otherwise, just looking forward to my usuals: The Office, Community, Human Target, The Good Guys, Chuck, Friday Night Lights, Fringe, and The League.

[logan82]

All the shows I like have a summer and early spring season. Most are done with their first round of episodes already.

[BrewCrewForever]

For me it will be:

 

Boardwalk Empire

Eastbound & Down

The Office

 

That is it. I wish I could say Parks and Recreation but NBC is run by a bunch of idiots and they decided to move the show to midseason.

[jerichoholicninja]

Running Wilde is the only new show that really interests me.

 

Outsourced is the show that I hope gets canceled the quickest. It looks terrible and I can't see it lasting more than 3 episodes.

[kilgore37]

Dexter is all I watch

[TracyThom]

I'll be watching The Event, No Ordinary Family, as well as The Walking Dead on AMC. I can't wait for the Walking Dead. It's about time for a zombie apocalypse tv series.

[Schlitz001]

I plan on watching The League of FX and Eastbound and Down is back soon.

This, plus:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Breaking Bad

Boardwalk Empire

Amazing Race (guilty pleasure)

 

Already in progress:

Louie (just ended)

Mad Men

No 30 Rock love here? Didn't really get into it at first, but its such a great show.

[Schlitz001]

The whole NBC Thursday lineup has gotten a bit stale for me. I'll still watch when I can, but 30 Rock and The Office have gone downhill from earlier seasons. Parks and Rec was the strongest show last season, but someone earlier mentioned that it's getting pushed back?

[SquirrelMaster]

Caprica.

[NeedMoreFans]

I'll give some 30 Rock love! I'll watch The Office just because I have since it started. I'm really looking forward to Modern Family. I loved that show last year and am hoping it continues where it left off. My wife got into Community. It's a "meh" show for me.

[GAME05]

i'll probably get back into the Office because it seems like they'll have a lot of storyline to pack into a single season.

Psych

Community

30 Rock, maybe.

Running Wilde i might check out, just because i think that guy is hilarious.

i might check out Family Guy here and there, but last season didn't have a single good episode that i don't care much anymore.

 

otherwise i purposely try to avoid getting into new shows as a way to further ween myself off of watching tv.

[And That]

The Office and Fringe are really the only two we'll really get around to watching. Maybe Running Wilde.

[thebruce44]

I'll be watching The Event, No Ordinary Family, as well as The Walking Dead on AMC. I can't wait for the Walking Dead. It's about time for a zombie apocalypse tv series.

I am pretty excited for the Walking Dead as well. Tonight I will watch Its Always Sunny and The League for sure.

 

The pilot for Terriers was really good, but thats pretty much what I expected from Shawn Ryan. I am also looking forward to Justified if that ever comes back for a second season.

 

[pitchleague]

The League was pretty darn funny tonight. Good start to the season for that show.

[GoudaBrew]

Anyone else pretty disappointed in "Sunny" last night? Coors Light, Subway and Seattle's Best coffee product placements all in the first couple of minutes. That was strange. And the show just wasn't as edgy. Was not laughing constantly through the show like I normally do.

[thebruce44]

The League was pretty darn funny tonight. Good start to the season for that show.

It was okay. Felt a little forced, like they had a list of jokes to run through in the allotted time, especially the rap at the end.

 

Its Always Sunny was pretty bad, but I am sure they will hit their stride and it for sure had its moments (none of which can really be posted on a family board).

Yeah, I thought it was terrible. Luckily The League was great, so the night wasn't a total loss.

[GoudaBrew]

Wow, I guess I should have given The League a longer leash. It started off really dumb and cliched so I turned it once they started racing through airport security. I'll have to give it another chance. I watched most of them last year though I wasn't that impressed then either.

It was disappointing, but they have had episodes like that before. In terms of it not being edgy, I am not sure I agree with that. I mean, the plot centered around a post op tranny. Charlie asked her if they mailed her junk off to China for crying out loud. Hilarious. And the part with him and Frank cracking eachothers backs was a great physical bit. In the end it was a below average episode with a lot of expectations being the premiere.

[pretendastronaut]

I'm excited for Dexter, Fringe and Modern Family. Will Arnett's new show is probably the only new show I'll try to watch this season, though I don't have much hope for it.

[paul253]

You know what is a good show, I thought so at least, is Human Target. I think it starts a little later in the season than other shows, but it has replaced 24 as my new go to show. It combines action with a little bit of comedy and a good story line. Keep it in mind.

[pitchleague]

yup, very good show. I've watched every episode. Pretty much the "unbelievable" stuff like 24 but who cares? it's supposed to be good fun entertainment. And, yes, the comedy is pretty good, too.

 

They've been re-running eps from last year on Friday nights the last couple weeks (including tonight) if one wanted to check it out. You can pretty much jump right in, for the most part.
