Wow! The new fall network TV season must have bought some new sneakers, because it just came out of nowhere! Each year I’ve been saying how the streaming TV revolution has been changing the way we view “fall TV season”, but this year I almost didn’t remember that new shows and new episodes were coming….

Fall TV 2018 – part 1
Have I really not written about TV since last fall’s premieres? I get more response from movie reviews, but I really should be posting more about TV — my first love — especially when there is so much more to watch these days! Anyway … after years of gradually spreading out the fall premiere period,…
Fall TV 2017 – Returning Shows
If you’ve read any of my recent posts, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of TV comedy. So, it also won’t be a surprise that most of the shows that I watch regularly are sitcoms as well. With that in mind, I’m going to talk about the dramas first, to get it out of…
Fall TV 2016 Wave 1 – Returning Shows
In this year’s batch of returning shows, we’ve got a few long-timers, some shows with a few seasons under their belts, but very few sophomores — mostly because last year’s new shows were so weak. Surprisingly and disappointingly, rather than getting a fresh start on the new season, the pattern or theme this year so…
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…
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…
2013 TV Characters: Love and Hate
Characters I Loved I guess I’ve proven again that I just don’t watch TV for the characters, because this year I found fewer standout characters that I really loved (and the ones I did find were kind of secondary, side characters who are not fully fleshed-out). On top of that, most of you have probably…
Fall TV 2013 – Comedy
For the last few years, the fall premiere season has been pretty spread out, but this year it seems like we’re back to the traditional big bang of having a lot of the shows start together. It’s October now, so the season is in full swing and we’ve had a few episodes to enjoy both…
2012 TV Characters: Love and Hate
Characters I Love Topping the list of beloved characters this year is one that I am so enamoured with that I was eager to compose this list just so I could put her on top of it. Anna (Downton Abbey) is the epitome of a woman who loves quietly, deeply and genuinely. Ever since she…
