No Big Bang Theory?

I used to be a fan of “Bones,” until I saw the episode where she helps acquit her father of murder. I lost all respect for the show then…plus Angela annoys the holy hell out of me. I’d totally watch a show where Dr. Sweets fights crime w/ Gordon Wyatt as his sidekick, for sure!

Do you watch “Community”? What about “Parks & Recreation”?

I’m a woman, and I worry about the impact the infusion of estrogen will have on HUMAN TARGET. I’d hate for them to just have put it in gratuitously to give the gang something (or someone) to do, while they’re dodging bullets.

Another mistake under the new showrunner: the firing of Bear McCreary, the guy who did the gorgeous music for the show. They intend to spike shows with pop songs. I don’t think this will go well.

I’m pretty much going to be watching the new season for Jackie Earle Haley. As you say, MORE Guerrero, please.

So many shows. I’m giving Hawaii 5-O a chance because A) Daniel Dae Kim, B) Jean Smart (hopefully recurring as the Gov) and C) an intense amount of childhood nostalgia for me. Plus, I get giddy any time actors have to try to say “Kalanianaole Hwy” or “Humuhumunukunukuapuaa”

Nikita had an interesting pilot, it actually reminded me of Dollhouse except the creepiness was much clearer, there wasn’t a question if you were supposed to hate the group. It’s an interesting update to the franchise, though I still don’t quite get why that movie has had so many spin-offs.

I’ve got high hopes for Raising Hope, since it comes from the creator of My Name is Earl and has Cloris Leachman.

BTW, I think the series My Generation reminds you of is Reunion on Fox. Neat idea, terrible story.

Hmm… only show not on your list that I like is Supernatural. Yet given that Dish Network doesn’t carry the CW station in my area I only watch it on DVD.

Hellcats is another CW show right? I read some articles and saw a commercial somewhere and it looked fun. I don’t think they have those online to watch though.

Is Nikita supposed to be another version of that syndication show/movie La Feme Nikita or something? It didn’t sound interesting either way.

HIMYM had a really great first episode to kick off the season, looks like they are finally moving forward with the show again when it seemed to be in a bit of a standstill towards the end of last year.

I loved 2 & 1/2 Men when it first started, but when every character on the show became creepy losers it lost me.

BBT is my favorite sitcom on TV, it’ll be nice to have something to watch on Thursdays Yet it just seems like a LONG wait to get to it.

Bones – I was like you in just enjoying the show for the mystery of the week. Yet despite not caring at the time about them having a relationship, when they built so much up on the show in PR that they were getting together. Only to then have that season ender take place in her novel instead. I don’t know why but it just irritated me for some reason, I don’t think I even watched a single episode last year.

Human Target was such a fun series last year, not sure how adding a cast member is going to work but we’ll see. Too bad, since Dollhouse is no more, they didn’t bring Amy Acker’s character back as a regular.

@Johanna – I actually didn’t mind the others…it’s just that one episode where the Dad goes on trial. I found it pretty unheroic of Bones to let the defense use her to float a theory of the murder that she knew was false and it didn’t just take me out of the story – it took me out of the whole SERIES. So now whenever my fiancee and I watch an episode and Bones & Booth finally catch the killer, and the killer makes with the confession, I find myself saying: “…so let’em go. C’mon, didn’t you hear what he said? He LOVED her!”

Hmmm…most of what I am looking forward to is:
Boardwalk Empire-delivered exactly what I expected. Rare for a show to succeed at that anymore.

Bored to Death-low key humor, but I loved the combo of Jason Schwarzman, Zach Galafanikas and Ted Danson. They were a terrific team.

East Bound and Down-very dark comedy. I am very curious to see where they take this one.

Walking Dead- A good zombie story is about the survivors. The comic tends to understand that, Darabont seems to get it…the cast seems to understand. I found the four minute trailer compelling.

BBT and HIMYM are ones I will continue with…

Johanna, I couldn’t remember if you liked My Name is Earl or not. If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t be interested in Raising Hope, either. Yeah, I’m originally from Hawaii. Oddly, there was something exciting about Hawaii 5-O being filmed locally that didn’t feel the same about Magnum PI.

James, Nikita is indeed TV series based on La Femme Nikita. This one, however, jumps forward a few years. Nikita has escaped the mysterious program (which is supposed to be a US gov program but has been corrupted by military contractors who want to keep governments unstable so their services are needed) and has spent the past few years putting together a plan to destroy it, which included getting an agent of hers into the program.

So it’s kind of a sequel to La Femme Nikita, though the double agent kinda plays the role of the young Nikita, our introduction to the program.

I usually have little patience for the “But she’s a tough fighter, so the skimpy outfits are empowering!” excuse, but the pilot showed Nikita repeatedly outsmarting the entire division on her own, so I can accept that her sex appeal is part of her power.

That was my reaction to the pilot, at least. I haven’t had the chance to watch the second episode, yet.

I actually liked “The Event” more that I thought I would. It reminded me that I needed to leave the TV on to watch “Castle”, because otherwise DWTS would have me running.

(What was “Event” about? I couldn’t say. I didn’t even watch it closely enough to think about the mysteries I don’t know about. But Jason Ritter is so cute as Liberal Jack Bauer.)

Now that BBT is on a night other than Monday, I hope I can remember to watch it *and* Castle in the same week. *And* “Good Guys”. I think, like NBC for the last two years, my TV watching will all be done on-line in the month before the new season when they unlock all the returning shows to build an audience.

I have to agree that The Event is a time waster. I watched that last night and I have to say that it tried my patience faster than any other show in recent memory. Also seemed pretty derivative of Flash Forward. The fact that I saw the “event” coming a mile away also didn’t help.

I’ll just stick with Burn Notice and reruns of Rockford Files and call it good.

I take it that you meant that Castle was “new to you”.

Maybe they could rename Shatner’s show to “Shat The Man, says…”

Funny…she doesn’t LOOK newish!

I’m also from Hawaii, now living far away, so we watch Hawaii Five-O mostly to catch the scenery and to figure out where on Oahu they were filming. Oh, and those quonset huts – there are lots of them still being used for homes in the Waianae area; one of my former colleagues lived in one.

We watched The Event – won’t be going back to it; the episode was highly annoying.

My whole family loves Chuck, and we’re looking forward to the return of Human Target.

I watch Castle online and on DVD.
