In an earlier post, I mentioned that I was excited for Fall television. Well, now that many shows have had a chance to premier and make their mark, I'm forced to admit that I already dropped two shows from my Fall lineup.
Glee, the popular musical show on Fox, was too sporadic and pointless for me. The music doesn't make it worth watching either. Promising as it was, House (also on Fox) ended up being a major disappointment from episode one. I dropped it then. I'm still watching my other shows and Ugly Betty debuts Friday so we'll see how that goes, won't we?
Earlier, I blogged about my Fall line-up. At first, things got off to a dismal start. Since So You Think You Can Dance was in the audition stages, it's nice to watch, but doesn't really merit my full attention. Glee has such a strange storyline that I don't know how much longer I'll continue to watch it. I was hopeful—but wary—that tonight's episodes of Fringe and Community would be more promising. Luckily, my gut instinct was correct!
Fringe (FOX) debuted with a surprising new character and its trademark plot. The entire episode kept me on the edge of my seat (and startled me at a few parts too). Of course, the previews for the rest of the season look phenomenal and I can barely wait to see how the relationship between Charlie and Olivia changes.
Community (NBC) stars Joel McHale (most notable for being on The Soup) and was a non-stop riot of comedy. The lines that I will be using from watching that show. Although several of this episode's scenes were in the preview (and most likely the pilot that aired on facebook), they were still fresh and funny. So, my Fall line-up is looking pretty good right now. Next up for discussion will be House on Monday for its two-hour premiere!
When I was in college, I was too busy to watch a show's entire season. Now that I'm one year out, I'm not going to let this be the case. In fact, I've already put together a line-up of the shows I want to watch this Fall. At the very least, this is what I'm tuning into...
