1. Prime Suspect
Now that my beloved Law & Order is in the tanker, I'll be looking for a new procedural drama to keep me warm in the winter months. I feel like Prime Suspect is going to nicely fit the bill. Mario Bello is great. Aiden Quinn? Like him too. Only complaint? It's up against The Mentalist. This better not mean that only one can survive. Because The Mentalist that had the most intense season ender that I literally was on the edge of my seat. I can do both. Let's hope America can too.
Prime Suspect, Thursdays 10-11pm on NBC
The Mentalist, Thursdays 10-11pm on CBS
2. Castle
Castle stars my boyfriend, Nathan Fillion, so this is a no brainer. When they left us last season, Beckett was shot at the funeral of her former mentor turned bad guy and Castle whispered, "I love you" as the credits closed. I'm not really into Beckett and Castle getting together (hello, he should be with me) and I actually liked it when she was with Michael Trucco (hello, hunk #2). But, I have a feeling that the romantic tension this season will be off the charts. Either way, I can't wait for more hunkiness and laughs with Captain Hammer.
Castle, Mondays 10-11pm on ABC
3. Up All Night
I love Christina Applegate, I love Will Arnett and I love Maya Rudolph, so this one should be a no-brainer. It's a comedy from Emily Spivey, who was a writer on Saturday Night Live, so I'm hoping for my new favorite 30 Rock.
Up All Night, Wednesdays 8-830pm on NBC
4. Revenge
I loved Emily VanCamp on Brothers & Sisters, so I'm looking forward to watching her be devious and somewhat evil on Revenge. The show starts with Emily's dad being murdered, and her avenging his death throughout the season. They're comparing this show to Dallas with the "Who shot JR?" premise, but I'm hoping that it will bring enough drama to satiate my loss of my favorite soap One Life to Live. ABC owes me.
Revenge, Wednesdays 10-11pm on ABC
5. Big Bang Theory
I was so excited that Jim Parsons won another Emmy for his performance as Sheldon on Big Bang Theory. Jim Parsons brings an amazing performance and convincingly delivers lines with terminology that might as well be Mandarin to those outside of Comic-Con circles. I'm hoping that Leonard and Penny get back together this season. *fingers crossed*
Big Bang Theory, Thursdays 8-8:30pm on CBS
6. Parks & Recreation
While I do love Modern Family, I think that Parks & Recreation was robbed by not winning the Emmy this year. This last season was brilliant with the additions of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe. I still have the episode on my DVR where Rob Lowe plays the "air banjo" in the back of the car. It is sheer genius. And, don't even get me started on Nick Offerman. He could read the phone book and I would cry laughing.
Parks & Recreation, Thursdays 8:30-9pm on NBC
Still on the fence:
Whitney: I'm not sure how to feel about this one. On one hand, I want to like it. She's funny at roasts and I've heard that she's a really nice person. I'm just not sure if I can get behind this show like NBC has. Jesus...I can't go anywhere without seeing her face. It's a little much. Speaking of, did she have plastic surgery? She looks like she did something. Fillers? Chris D'Elia was hilarious as the perv on Workaholics, so I may end up tuning in for him
Thursdays, 9:30-10pm on NBC
2 Broke Girls: I'm just not sure what to think of this one. It has the potential to be funny, but the previews are just meh. Entertainment Weekly put it in their top 5, so we'll see.
Mondays, 8:30-9pm on CBS
Person of Interest: Sadly, this one is up against The Office and Grey's Anatomy so I'm going to have to go to my backup DVR for this one. Again, Entertainment Weekly put it in their top 5, so I'm going to give it a shot. J.J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan...definitely a show of interest. It may get the ax if I don't have time.
Thursdays, 9-10pm on CBS
I'm exhausted already!!
WHITNEY IS PERHAPS THE WORST SHOW IN TELEVISION HISTORY
ReplyDeleteAnd you will remember Jeannie that I worked at UPN so I know my bad television. I am not sure UPN would have ordered this to series.
You forgot THE NEW GIRL which I thought was sweet. Not sure if it's got legs to last but it was entertaining if you like Zooey. If you dislike her brand of humor/quirkiness skip it.
The 2 Broke Girls pilot was nothing original or particularly clever but Kat Dennings made it work.
And can I say it again, WHITNEY IS THE WORST SHOW EVER.
Also, please note that NBC seems to have bought the rights to the entire Black Keys catalog as they are beating us over the head with the tunes in both Prime Suspect and the horrible Free Agents (another example of a British show that should have not been adapted for Americans). Maybe Whitney could have used some Black Keys!
