With some of the shows that I’m highly anticipating yet to debut (looking at you, Nashville) or at least come back with the start of a new season (save us from comedic mediocrity, Community and Happy Endings!), it’s always at this point, about 2/3 of the way through the new fall season, where I begin to lose focus and forget that watching television is supposed to be fun.
I don’t have anything specific to add or cut yet (falling way behind, as usual, on dramas) due to my inability this week to keep up with television’s incessant demands, but a few thoughts have crossed my mind:
The Neighbors still isn’t bad, although it may be the first time that I want a show to be more cheesy/cheap looking visually – to really lean into the concept. It got me to laugh hard once last night (to be fair, I’m a sucker for the bleeped-out curse + blacked out/blurred mouth).
Guys With Kids was defeated in the ratings last night by the aforementioned aliens show. So… yeah.
Animal Practice also is apparently not long for this world. Whether or not it beats Mob Doctor to the title of first show cancelled we’ll have to see. It’s going to be a close race.
Revolution, The New Normal, and Go On all got season pickups. So, you know, I guess NBC won’t be running a test pattern anytime soon.
YOU GUYS, WATCH Last Resort TONIGHT! For every television fan who complains that there’s nothing good on, trust me, this is good. And if we don’t watch it, and then we complain that nothing good is on, that’s on us. Although to be fair, it’s really on those shady, mysterious persons known as nielsen families, so really…
YOU NIELSEN FAMILIES, WATCH Last Resort TONIGHT!
