Television: Fall Lineup

May 16, 2008 18:03

The schedules for the 2008-09 television season have come out and I'm really amused by the fact that half of the shows I'll be watching are airing on FOX, the station that I said I would never watch again after what happened with Firefly.

( my projected fall schedule )

bones, dollhouse, supernatural, numb3rs, house, television, smallville, boston legal, the sarah connor chronicles

I think the only shows I'll watch that you have listed is Dollhouse, because you know, Whedon, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Bones and House are shown in Australia and I do watch them whenever I'm bored and the television happens to be on, but they aren't must see television for me.

Dollhouse is definitely something I'm very interested in -- though I was never a big fan of Faith, I always liked Eliza's portrayal of her, so I'm looking forward to seeing her play a different role penned by Joss.

I've been looking forward to Dollhouse for MONTHS. I really hoope that Eliza can pull it off. I really liked her as Faith (and have seen nothing else from her), but I think the role she'll play will be a lot harder. But I have some hope.

AND I MISS JOSS ON TV. /O/ Even though I don't know how to feel about him using Fox after Fox got Firefly killed.

but I kinda want to kick House in the shins a lot of the time (especially for the way he treats Cuddy and how the writers have her allow him to walk all over her).
I remember back when House was still choosing his next team and Cuddy's underwear was involved. I turned it off and am wary about turning it back on. I just am starting to hate House and I miss it when I felt like he really respected Cuddy.

I have high hopes for Dollhouse. It sounds like it could really address some interesting issues. And I, too, miss Joss on TV.

I remember back when House was still choosing his next team and Cuddy's underwear was involved. I turned it off and am wary about turning it back on. I just am starting to hate House and I miss it when I felt like he really respected Cuddy.

Amber is kickass and wonderful, but House has been really annoying me. It definitely feels like he respects Cuddy less and also that she's demanding less respect from him. Both of which I find disappointing.

I was rewatching some season one and was struck so much about how much House and Cuddy did respect each other. There was a lot between them that mattered to both of them.

I just stopped seeing that in season four. And that was what actually drove me to finally turn off the TV.

Yeah. If Amber weren't on the show, I would have done the same thing. But I have developed a hopeless crush on her, so I'm doomed for as long as she's still there.

So many shows I actually want to see! I'll have to see if I can wheedle people into sending them to me.

butterfly May 18 2008, 05:18:41 UTC

I hope you get a chance to watch them!

I'm booked Monday nights, so I'll have to watch T:SCC and Dollhouse the next day (and FF through commercials, yeah). Can't wait to see more Joss. Squee!

I missed SN last night, so DON"T TELL ME ... it's bad enough to know that it's coming back for another season so obviously they saved Dean. Yes, I will be watching that.

Numb3rs I'll watch when I'm not doing other stuff ... like reading journals....

Nothing else is enough to avoid other stuff over. Gotta catch up on BSG, SG1, SGA, etc. And the millions of other interests I have OTHER than television, lol.

butterfly May 18 2008, 05:21:54 UTC

More Joss is always a good thing! I miss his writing.

sage_theory May 17 2008, 12:58:22 UTC

I'm right there with you on Numb3rs.

I kinda want to kick House in the shins a lot of the time (especially for the way he treats Cuddy and how the writers have her allow him to walk all over her).Usually I have no problem with how he treats Cuddy, because, strangely, I don't interpret it as being *personal* in a lot of ways. I think it's just that he and Cuddy are always going to be at opposing interests. And as long as you have something House wants and you won't fork it over to him easily and you won't be persuaded through sexual bribery, you're going to get it in the face from him ( ... )

With regards to House, I used to feel that same way about House and Cuddy but I just haven't been feeling the respect from him recently.
