So what's your favorite new TV show this season?














Here is a poll that almost no one who comments here will have an opinion about. What's your favorite new TV show. Now I know most of youse guys are going to say you have never seen any of these shows because you are all so busy and stuff. But take your best shot anyways.

Here are the shows with a brief description.

Terra Nova which is a sci-fi show which is part Jurassic Park, part Swiss Family Robinson and part Lost. With a Captain Ahab and some cute Indian chicks.

Pan Am about a bunch of stewardesses in the 1960's who screw and spy their way through the friendly skies. Staring Tuesday Adams as the "Head" stewardess.

Two broke girls about waitresses in Williamsburg with two cute chicks working in a diner. Sort of like Alice with really filthy double entendre jokes.

Unforgettable about a cute cop with red hair who walks around in a tank top while everyone else wears pants suits. She never forgets anything she sees once. Sort of like a cross between Police Woman and Kreskin.

Person of Interest where Jesus and Henry Kissinger get together to solve crimes they are pointed to by a super surveillance camera that records everything that happens everywhere. Sort of a mix of The Conversation and Dr Strangelove and the Passion of the Christ.

I hope that helps. Oh the photos are not in the right order. So whose your favorite.

The Flower is into "Unforgettable" so I've seen that.

Christina Ricci is 31. I remember seeing her on the lot at WB when she was a little girl shooting Addams Family..I think the second one.

She had the goth makeup and all that but she wore a pink bathrobe and bunny slippers.

That'll make you feel old. That and, say, seeing Neil Patrick Harris looking like an old man in "Smurfs".

Dude you are telling me something like I don't feel as old as dirt.

They are saying on the blogs that the reason Kim Richards is acting so crazy is that she is going through menopause!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trooper York said...

Terra Nova might be a good show for her too!

There is a young daughter in the family she can relate too and it really is sort of a family show.

With dinosaurs.

Pan Am looks like it will be cancelled soon as it droppef five million viewers since last week.

Pan Am has promise. They could take it in either a Desperate Housewives (whacky soap opera) direction or in a subdued Madmen direction. If they muddle in the middle, it will probably flop.

Two Broke Girls is just aggressively stupid and so will probably be a big success.

I haven't seen the rest.

A new one I have seen, but which isn't on your list is Whitney; it is pretty funny. Also, New Girl with Zooey Deschanel is pretty funny too.

Trooper, We're still watching the Brewers, Packers and Badgers here in Cheeseland. We'll have to get back to you losers a bit later.

blake said...

TY,

The Flower's primary drivers as far as TV shows seem to be:

1. Mystery/police procedural.

2. She can watch it on the Internet.

We only have one TV but she's discovered she can watch on a computer so she basically commandeered my Chromebook.

General comment: what I can't stand about 9/10ths of recent TV series is the way everyone in them is sold as super competent and everyone moves at the speed of light and is super hip, etc. etc. Which is supposed to bowl us all over, us poor shlub consumers of the stuff. Was it always thus? Probably but not quite as totally.

The first week of Pan Am I liked. After that it stunk.

Titus said...

I loved Christina Ricci in The Adams Family.

Titus said...

I loved Christina Ricci in the movie where she was chained to a radiator.

Totally hot.

I guess I'm dating myself if I say The Virginian (they're showing the first season on Encore Westerns).

OK, assembled multitudes, 'splain something to me.

The whole idea of the season, in particular, this show if we're going to be honest, is to rip off a show that only does 13 episodes every couple of years on a cable movie channel most people don't see.

And the networks are surprised that viewership is going down like B-17s over Nazi Germany in 1943, why?

chickelit said...

I see a couple reasons to watch the last one.

Fred4Pres said...

edutcher, I watch the Virginian and Have Gun Will Travel all the time. The magic of Netflix.

blake said...

I've been watching "American Horror Story" on FX. Seriously vulgar!

I didn't know they could say stuff like that on TV!

I'm Full of Soup said...

Trooper- check out American Horror Story on and FX at 10PM on Wednesday. You will like that.

Terra Nova ain't bad but like the Star Trek series after the original, it does not have enough fisticuffs.

Suburgatory is funny- it has a chance.
