The second week of the new tv season was full of surprises. I gave a chance to a few new shows (Code Black, Quantico, The Grinder) that I didn’t plan to watch (They were free episodes on iTunes — thank you, Marketing Department!) and I ended up liking them way more than expected. There are…

Fall TV 2015 – Week 1 New Shows
In keeping with this week where many season and series premieres have been so chock full of TV goodness that they needed to be split in two, I am also saving the new show premieres to be discussed in part two of my week one TV reviews! So here goes: Heroes Reborn I loved season one…
Fall TV 2015 – Week 1 Returning Shows
I love it when the networks premiere their seasons all at once. Previously they have tried spreading out the start of the season over months, but this year I can barely keep up with all the new and returning shows this week! Early reviews have not given Fall 2015 a good grade, but I think…
Humans – TV Review
This summer has made itself a home to many sci-fi shows. It’s a good fit because the short season allows for modest budgets and the chance to take more risks with less at stake for the networks. There have been a number of returning shows: Extant, Orphan Black, Defiance, Dominion, Teen Wolf, Under the Dome, along…
2015-2016 Fall TV preview
I love it when the TV networks put out trailers for the new fall shows that they’re planning to air. They come out just in time as the current seasons are ending, giving us TV fans something to look forward to over the summer hiatus. This year’s batch seems kind of mediocre (unfortunately) and nothing…

Midseason TV 2015
Midseason is here again. It’s that time of year when TV networks (and a growing number of non-TV channels who are delivering episodic content) take a second run at catching the audience’s attention. It’s usually a time when some of the more outlandish/inventive shows come on, which the programming execs might have thought were too…
2014 TV Characters: Love and Hate
Some say that TV is going through a quality renaissance. That might be true, but unfortunately if you have enjoyed hard-edged shows like True Detective, Broadchurch, American Horror Story, or Breaking Bad for their wonderfully complex and messed-up characters, you won’t find any of those shows on my list. I tend to enjoy the lighter,…
2014 Fall TV – Returning Shows
OK, so I might not be adding too many new shows to my watchlist this season, but at least my many faves are now returning with new episodes as well. The Big Bang Theory Last season ended a bit sadly, with Sheldon unable to cope with all the change going on in his life, deciding…
