Mid-Season TV update

Image via Wikipedia

It is pretty close to the mid-season mark on the TV schedule and my viewing patterns have changed a little.  

The late starter- The Walking Dead is my must see fix every week.  Unfortunately it only has two new episodes in the can. 

The surpriser- Supernatural isn't half bad this season.  I still think that last season's finale would have been a perfect season finale, but soulless Sam has my interest. 

The why did I even bother- The Event didn't hold my interest given a couple episodes, so I gave up and moved on. 

The consistent- SGU is a show I look forward to every week.  It isn't The Walking Dead or even Supernatural, but it is pretty good. 

The forgotten- Oh crap, I missed No Ordinary Family. . . Again. Oh well. This is a weekly occurance, I guess this means that I don't care for the show. It did entertains somewhat, but felt really slow. 

NBC's the cape will start Mid-Season and I will give it a try.  I have also started watching Sons of Anarchy, which is pretty good. 

What genre shows do you watch and how would you rate them?  Let me know in the comments

Fall Genre Shows

I will preface this by saying that I watch too much TV. I was actually kind of relieved that two of my favorite shows were ending last year. Lost did end, but Supernatural decided to ruin a great series finale and come back for a 6th season to be discussed below. So I am being a bit more critical with new shows this year as I don’t need to watch any more TV than I already do.

The Event: Caught the second episode, and I no longer have to watch. It went from being a Scifiesque type show to being an allegory for fear in the age of terror/political thriller. Not that the show was overwhelmingly interesting to begin with, but the hook at the end made me perk up my ears for the second episode. Nothing in episode two made me want to continue watching the show. This show may end up being amazing, but if that is the case, I guess I will just have to catch up on DVD.

Chuck: This is a fun family show as always. Sure it pushes the boundaries a little, but it comes on at 8/7central. Every time the show starts getting stale they do a little to change it up. This year they are bringing in cameos galore. Already we have seen Lou Ferrigno, Olivia Munn, and Dolph Lundgren with promises of many more. Look out for Nicole Ritchie and Stone Cold Steve Austin next week. It is a fun show that kind of falls on the guilty pleasures list.

No Ordinary Family: Watched this last night. Again, it seems like a pretty family friendly show that comes on at a family friendly time. It is a little early to make a final judgment, but it looks pretty good. What helps set the show apart is that the family has problems. The dad is unemployed, the mom is a workaholic, the daughter is a girl in high school, and the son has a learning disorder, then their plane crashes and all of a sudden, they have to deal with super powers. The acting was good, there is drama, and there is comedy. It looks like this one will be fun.

SGU: The show got pretty good in the last half of the first season. The final cliffhanger was intense with everyone’s lives in the balance for different reasons. To be honest, I think they thought they were being cancelled and if that would have happened everyone would have died. They weren’t cancelled and the first episode of the second season was about getting themselves out of that great big corner. It wasn’t smooth, it wasn’t graceful, and it wasn’t the greatest of episodes. It does look like they are laying some groundwork mysteries to be solved throughout the rest of the season. I will stick it out with SGU, because when it is good, it can be real good.

Wrasslin: Hey it is on SyFy right? No? okay, but I fell in love with AJ from NXT. She is a self confessed nerd, but that might be part of her character. She was wearing a I heart nerds t-shirt last night. NXT is not good TV, but they are doing divas which are fun to look at. Smack Down is moving to SyFy this week and they are bringing back the supernatural overtones of Undertaker and Cain to celebrate.

Supernatural: Speaking of supernatural, Supernatural returned for a 6th and final(?) season. This is a great show and as I said earlier had the perfect series finale at the end of season 5. CW is milking it for all it is worth, but the first episode was still pretty good and not farfetched at all considering what has happened in past seasons. I wanted the show to end, because I wanted it to end while it was still good. I am not sure about 6.1 but they are setting some stuff up that could be interesting. Needless to say, I am in for the long haul on this one. Don’t watch this on CWTV.com. The player sucks and freezes a lot, plus you will get less commercials just watching it on the air.



These are the shows that have my attention, what are you watching.

Supernatural Season 5 Finale

This was a very, very good episode. I am almost sad that it wasn’t the series finale as I think it ends on just that kind of note. Spoilers after the jump.

Chuck and V Renewed

According to Flick Cast.  Chuck and V have been renewed for an additional season.  Flash Forward did not make the cut however and will be cancelled.

Supernatural 5.20

*spoiler free*
Episode 5.20 was a pretty good episode that moves the mythology along well.  The demon Crowley makes an appearance and the boys are forced to trust him to try and stop Lucifer.
