Fall Television Premieres

Donnie Walhberg wow at least I know a show to avoid next year.

[QUOTE=mr.unamazing;178308]Donnie Walhberg wow at least I know a show to avoid next year.[/QUOTE] I actually think Donnie is a pretty good actor. Mark Wahlberg is a different story though ;). Donnie has been in things like Sixth Sense, Band of Brothers and Boomtown and I thought he was good in all of them. Now for the new fall shows, I am very annoyed with NBC right now. They decided to push Parks & Recreation (what I think was their best Thurs comedy this season, followed closely by Community) back to a mid-season show to make room for [URL="http://www.nbc.com/outsourced/"]Outsourced[/URL]. Not only is P&R a favorite show of mine but the whole crew went into production early so they would have episodes ready for the fall since Amy Poehler would have to take maternity leave this summer when they would normally film. NBC then decides to reward them by telling them they are being pushed back the day before up-fronts. So now their hard work is basically worth nothing including Poehler busting her butt at 7 months pregnant. The worst thing is that they are ruining a really great indie movie by turning it into a horrible comedy. Boo NBC.

lol at busting her but. I don't if the show was good enough to keep it's spot it's pretty good sure but Community is much better and it even was moved back. Starburns to me is still creepy/awesome. As I like to say in with the new out with the old.... unless you have chevy chase then you may stay.

Two words: Modern Family. Best. Show. Ever.

[QUOTE=OtherPplsDrama;178333]Two words: Modern Family. Best. Show. Ever.[/QUOTE] Oh Modern Family is totally an awesome show! But it's on ABC and I have no beef with them ;)

I like Modern family it's awesome. I also like the middle as atticus schaeffer is the best.

Modern Family is very good. I'm assuming it was renewed? Did anyone see this new show Nikita tha will be on WB? It looks terrible.

I actually liked Nikita ... then again I'm a big fan of the original TV show that was filmed in Toronto starring Peta Wilson and aired on USA, one of their first primetime first run shows ever -- she paved the way in a sense for Burn Notice. I'll play wait and see with most of them but Blue Bloods might be interesting. Donnie Wahlberg is good as is Tom Selleck and Bridget Moynihan. It might be worth watching. Undercovers and The Cape might be good too. L&O being gone is an enormous vacancy on NBC's list but they wanted to get L&O: LA out the door so it will probably occupy its slot. **** Wolf is extremely angry though. The guy wanted to break Gunsmoke's 20 yr run legacy and can now only tie it.

They got this lame *** show on CW also called Hellcats and then they got NBC's Undercover and we all know that's gonna flop hard considering NBC's track record. Nikita looks good but the original will always be the best. Yep. Modern Family was renewed. I have yet to watch more than one episode but i like it. I wish it was another station though because ABC is hardly watched by me. L&O being cancelled depressed me because that show is known for getting rid of people without explanation and the "series finale" is probably the same way. I still wonder though how they are going to explain it being cancelled within the show. I remember ER's finale was like another day at county.

I'm playing wait and see on Undercover. Hellcats looked extremely stupid. The original Nikita TV show was gritty and had a more global feel because it was mostly a Canadian production shot in & around Toronto. It was created by Joel Surnow who went on to create 24 for FOX. This new version looks like it might be good with Shane West, Xander Berkeley, and Maggie Q but it will have to work hard to surpass the original.

Wait. Did you say Shane West? Shane West will be on Nikita? Count me in!! Woo hoo! haha

Saw a clip of the show. Xander Berkeley is her boss or former boss really and Shane West is a former co-worker who she used to trust. The clip I saw had her going after Xander in an elegant nightclub and Shane chases her into the alley to find out what is going on.

Yep. Thats the sneak peek clip that was released yesterday morning. For some reason, I can't help but laugh at Shane West holding a gun. And yeah I had no idea the same guy who did La Femme Nikita did 24.

That's what I get for writing this show off. I could have missed out on a good one. Thank you, Puma.

Shane held a gun in LXG actually. ... Yeah, Surnow created 24 after succeeding at Nikita and used what he learned succeeded for the show too. All those groundbreaking moments of tension, interrogations, and torture were first done on Nikita. If it wasn't for that show, then Alias would not have existed either.

Alias, I need to get up on. I have a place to buy the dvds at Borders but its a matter of getting the initiative.

They're in my NetFlix queue

Is that Octomom playing the Nikita character?

No ... Original series was Peta Wilson and this version has it played by Maggie Q who you may have seen in Mission Impossible 3 or Die Hard 4: Live Free Die Harder.

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;178538]No ... Original series was Peta Wilson and this version has it played by Maggie Q who you may have seen in Mission Impossible 3 or Die Hard 4: Live Free Die Harder.[/QUOTE] O I see, I have bad reception so I couldn't see if it was her. I was way way way wrong.

I'm such a reality junky, I've been keeping my eye on CBS (Although I knew The Amazing Race, Survivor and Big Brother wouldn't be canceled) it made the most changes this year. Everyone thought Ghost Whisperer was safe next season and Medium would get the axe, but it was the other way around. Most thought CBS wouldn't cancel 2 scripted shows on Friday night but GW was let go. That's good for me, because I had a crush on Patricia Arquette since I was a little boy and watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 3!

Blue bloods looks really good! I will def. try to watch that.

Medium if I recall is on NBC not CBS because it followed Heroes. As for Ghost Whisperer, never watched it despite JLH being on it. Most reality shows are canned and not live enough. Consider that the country was blowing up over Survivor butu it came out after MTV started doing Challenges. Amazing Race wins the Reality Show award every year because it is a constantly changing venue with interesting people. There are very few reality shows I watch and Amazing Race is the one I keep missing that I want to watch. I do tune into Celeb Rehab, Sober House, and the MTV Challenges (the advantage there is the competitors are mostly the same). I even tuned into the VH1 Tough shows for a while but mostly I avoid them like the plague. Reality shows were good filler, especially during the writer's strike but that is over and a lot of good shows are out there. My current non-reality show list is as follows: Burn Notice, Leverage, Human Target, Friday Night Lights, Stargate Universe, Justified, Archer and Lost. I'm interested in some of the new stuff but the above list contains a serious amount of character drama shows that have periodic edges of humor in them. Best & most realistic married couple on TV: Eric & Tami Taylor on Friday Night Lights Best author driven show on TV: Justified (created by Elmore Leonard) Best Help The Little Guy Espionage style show with humor: Burn Notice, followed by Human Target and then Leverage Best Sci Fi show: Lost, followed by Stargate Universe (which is doing very well by the way) Best Animated Show: Archer .... espionage & humor in a non-PC mix that will have you on the floor. One of the voices is Aisha Tyler too. Incidentally, most if not all of these can be seen on Hulu.

[QUOTE=tjhallow;178551]Blue bloods looks really good! I will def. try to watch that.[/QUOTE] I intend to tune in because of the cast who I trust so we'll see if the stories grab me or not. NYC police is a rehashed theme and I'm looking to see how they do it differently.

Oh, I was glad that Modern Family and the middle where picked up by abc they both are great shows. I'm wondering if their will be a glee that will come out next year and just blow the whole system away. Sidenote I thought it was so funny that Jeff Dunham's show got cancelled after/ within the one year. Sure you started out good but really he is so unfunny they could have given the show to so many others and would be great. Here is to them keeping Demetri Martin on as he is one funny guy.

CBS always owned the show, so it was odd it was on a different network. But NBC did air it for 5 seasons until it made the switch. I love Survivor, Amazing Race, Big Brother... I think they are interesting and like most American's I am interested in watching other people's life, fights, ups ad downs. As for cable, I did enjoy the Real World a lot, until Hollywood... I'll probably tune in for N.O. because it's become somewhat of a habit. I also enjoy the challenges and The Jersey Shore (I don't know if Snookie makes me laugh, or her name does and I like her cute little size, I want to carry her in my pocket!)

[QUOTE=CrazyRealityGuy;178549] That's good for me, because I had a crush on Patricia Arquette since I was a little boy and watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 3![/QUOTE] We're no longer friends. I had her first. I kid, I kid.

[QUOTE=Old Friend;178621]We're no longer friends. I had her first. I kid, I kid.[/QUOTE] LOL we can share her! That was a big part why I started watching Medium and I have to admit it isn't a bad show. Happy it got picked up!

I missed last nights' Medium but I heard it was good. Gonna pick up the DVD's as soon as possible. Also Not gonna lie but I only started watching Medium because of Patricia as well.

Haha Nice... That's what's good about getting veteran actors to star in shows... their loyal fans will watch! I happen to think she is hot, and wanted another season so her hair could grow out... I like women with longish hair
