Day 5 - New season of television ramblings
I dropped a lot of shows last year (Once Upon a Time, Castle, Bones, NCIS, Grimm, Suburgatory, etc.) so I was really hoping there was going to be a lot of new television shows I'd want to watch this season, but, nope! It doesn't seem like there will be. Thus, my television viewing is going to be a bit sparse this year, I think.
Sundays
The Good Wife - This used to be one of my favorite shows, but I didn't like last season as much. I'm hoping that I'll like it a lot again this season. If for no other reason than it has a plethora of amazing female characters.
The Mentalist ? - I can't decide if I'm going to continue to watch this show or drop it. The Red John storyline has been dragged out way too long for me; long enough that I don't really care about it at all. And the characters aren't as interesting to me anymore, IDK why exactly.
Mondays
The Voice - I ended up stopping watching last season after the battle rounds, IDK why, but I'm going to try again this season. I do love the early episodes, at least.
Sleepy Hollow ? (New) - I dunno. I had thought early on that I'd want to watch it, but I didn't like what Matt Roush of TV Guide had to say about it, so I might not end up watching it. (My fall preview issue of Entertainment Weekly hasn't arrived yet, so it might change when I read their take?)
Hostages (New) - It reminds me of a book I read, and possibly could have potential, like 24.
The Blacklist (New) - I actually wasn't interested in this one at all, partially because it stars James Spader, whom I don't care for. However, it got a review in TV Guide that piqued my interest, so I'll at least give it a try.
Tuesdays
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (New) - When I first heard about this show, I was really excited. That excitement has waned a lot, but I'm still willing to give it a try and hope for the best.
NCIS: LA - I never would have thought that I'd be watching this after I stopped watching the original, but apparently that is the case.
Person of Interest - I marathoned a season and a half worth of this show partway through last year and decided I liked it. It's not my favorite show, and it has some convoluted moments that I don't care for, but I like it well enough.
Wednesdays
Arrow - This was never a show that I immediately raced to watch, it had some really ridiculous moments, and I dislike the main love interest character, but I'll keep watching. I do like Felicity and Diggle, and it has some fun moments. And fun is good.
Modern Family ? - I loved this show early on, but last season really didn't do it for me. I'm going to give it a try again this year, but I might drop it.
Nashville ? - This is another show that I'm just giving a few more episodes before I decide whether or not I'm dropping it. I disliked Scarlett immensely, and while I liked the music storylines and the Rayna/Juliette storylines, the rest really weren't for me. Especially in the last episodes.
Thursdays
Welcome to the Family ? (New) - This is another new show that I don't know if I'll end up watching. The premise seems not for me, but it has Mary McCormack, whom I love, so I want to at least give it a try for her.
Elementary - Easily one of my favorite shows last year. Maybe one of my favorites of the last few years. I'm very excited for its return!
Friday
Haven - I cannot tell you how excited I am to have this show back! It is another of my favorite shows. I love the characters and their dynamics. I really hope they can resolve what happened at the end of last year in a reasonable fashion.
So that is 10 definites and 5 maybes/going to see how the first episodes go. I used to watch like 30 shows at one point, so seeing my list getting down that low seems really, really, really odd to me. Oh well. Maybe I'll luck out and a show that I didn't think I'd like will end up being one I really enjoy. (Like Hannibal last year.)
