Now that a month has passed since the start of the season, my TV schedule has started to shake out.
Quick thoughts on the new shows I’m watching…
Revenge
LOVE THIS SHOW. This is *so* what I wanted Ringer to be. Sure, it’s pretty much a primetime soap but the revenge angle gives everything additional meaning. And to think I was worried about how the show would sustain the storyline. I’m loving Emily’s tactical takedown of the Graysons (oh man, Victoria is wickedly awesome) — and of course, Emily VanCamp’s portrayal of the hatred underneath the sweetness. As far as the love triangle, I LOVE Daniel. And I’m sad that he might be dead. Please say it isn’t so. Since they never showed his face in the pilot, I’m holding onto hope that the body might be Tyler (can’t stand him anyway). I’m finding Jack to be a tad bit *too* noble for me (selling his boat for his dad and all) but I have a soft spot for Nick Wechsler (Roswell!) so I hope they do something more with his character. Overall, GOOD stuff.
Hart of Dixie
So great to have Rachel Bilson back on TV (I still miss The OC). Love her. This is your typical CW show. It reminds me of both Gilmore Girls and Everwood though not quite as good as either one. So far, the characters (particularly Lemon) and the storylines are kinda cliched but the show is so charming that I find myself not caring. I love the unlikely trio of Zoe, Wade and Lavon and surprisingly I don’t ship Zoe and George (I wish I did, though, I’m a sucker for Jason Street — I mean Scott Porter). A show very rarely makes me smile the way this one does so I’m on board. I need a fun, light show in my life anyway!
The New Girl
I’ve said before that I’m NOT a sitcom person. I don’t know why. I just don’t find most of them that funny. It’s possible I don’t have a sense of humor. BUT. I downloaded this pilot free on iTunes and watched it on the way to Vancouver and thought it was HILARIOUS. Jess is a little *too* quirky for me but I don’t care cause I love the guys. So excited for it to return tomorrow.
I’d like to check out Once Upon a Time too. I’m only 2 episodes behind so maybe I’ll be able to catch up? I’ll need something to replace Ringer and Grey’s Anatomy since I’ve lost interest in both…
So glad you posted about these shows! 3 of my favorite new shows! So glad you like Revenge…it’s really one of my favorite shows of the season! Love it! I also know what you mean about Ringer…I’m THISCLOSE to cutting it from my list of shows I watch. It’s just not doing it for me.
Oh my…YES! YOU GOTTA WATCH ONCE UPON A TIME! It’s REALLY GOOD! I’m loving it! Love the whole fairytale thing. I blogged about it… 😉 Lemme know what you think of it after you watch! Now’s the time to watch! Only 2 eps so far!
i don’t watch sitcoms now either but saw the new girl…i like deschanel, but i don’t think i’ll continue to watch it…just not interested in sitcoms for some reason…bones is only a few years older but looks much older
I think you’ll like once upon a time! it’s very good. I’m loving Revenge too. Who knew it’d be my must-see show of this year??
