Before anyone gets any misconceptions about the thread based on the title, it's just a reference to
this.
Basically a thread about television, not just in the fall, but in general.
I make a point to try to catch:
-
House. It's starting to not suck again, now that it's less about "ZOMG HOUSE AND CUDDY ARE A COUPLE NOW", and more about medicine and deliberately juvenile pranks and jokes. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that Thirteen's replacement (and by extension, Cameron's replacement) is a bit too vanilla for the show, in my opinion. Chase needs his sexy long hair back, too, but that's more of a nitpick than a true flaw in the show.
-
Burn Notice. Fun show. I like watching Gabrielle Anwar blow **** up, as well as watching Bruce Campbell be Bruce Campbell.
-
White Collar. Another USA show. Funny how this relatively small network can consistently produce highly entertaining TV when the big ones keep putting out the same old tween sitcoms and reality shows. Anyway, yeah. Funny show.
-
Smallville. The final season has proven to be a mixed bag. On the one hand, you have a proto-JLA forming. On the other hand, still no Batman, mostly due to legal issues. On the first hand again, Clark has mostly stopped angsting about wanting a normal life, and started embracing being a hero. On the other hand again, the arc villain is Darkseid. Disregarding my own issues with the guy (he is one of the most boring villains ever), there are characters that deserve to be adapted to the show waaaay more than the New Gods. I miss Michael Rosenbaum.
I'm tentatively interested in:
-
Young Justice. It's a little... too much like other animated superhero shows. It's not bad, though, and it's got potential. I'm going to wait and see how long it'll take the show to hits its stride. If at all.
-
The Cape. It's like a live-action Golden Age comic book. Fun stuff. Definitely not for those who don't like a little camp every now and then, but if you do, or if you can get past it, then this show looks promising.
