I'm wary of the new showrunners, but I can't not watch. Hopefully it will be good.

I'm all in for Last Resort, Vegas, Revolution, 666 Park Avenue, and Arrow. Think that's it.

I'm going to wait and see what you all say about Vegas and Revolution before I pick them up. *g*

I will eventually get to Parks and Rec and Downton Abbey, but they're not really on my must watch now list. I gave up on Castle - I discovered I wasn't watching it when it was on and wasn't watching it on the DVR. I might tune back in? But I don't know.

I also gave up BBT when it moved to Thursdays, but maybe now if it has no competition, I'll pick it back up.

I'm not sure Castle hasn't leapt to ridiculous heights but I still enjoy it, mostly because of Nathan Filion, and Stana Katic's wardrobe. And Esposito and Ryan. Plots etc. not so much.

I'm gonna watch Elementary and Arrow, because I've seen last season's Hung where Stephen Amell guest starred. If he spent half the time shirtless in Arrow as he did in Hung, I'd totally be fine with that.

Hee! That's good to know. I am a little sad Ollie's not still being played by Justin Hartley, who is exceptionally nice to look at, if not the greatest actor ever. But if this new guy is hot, that helps.

Haven't you seen the recent leak of Arrow's poster that panders to my demographic (that is, sex-starved and boy-crazy)? =)

I was going to embed it here but eljay's getting hiccupy when I try so sry?

Last Resort looks like it could be interesting, plus ANDRE BRAUGHER. <-- Best reason ever to give a show a chance, for real. I'll check that one out.

I'll probably watch a couple of episodes of Revolution too just so I can feel ragey and superior while making fun of the bad science and ridiculous world-building. (What? It's a totally valid reason to watch something! Same reason I watch terrible natural disaster movies. *g*)

Looking forward to Fringe coming back. I didn't love everything they did last season, but I still love it overall and want to know how they're going to wrap it up. I'm glad they got the half-season and plenty of warning to figure it out, because I think they are actually pretty good at making their storyarcs make sense when they have the time to do it, so it could be very interesting.

I'm enjoying Grimm's second season so far. Doctor Who too! Which has never been a fall show before, so it's confusing to remember it belongs on the list right now. Oh, and Game of Thrones, but that's not until spring.

Those are the best reasons to watch JJ Abrams shows. Anything else just ends in tears.

*nod nod*

I really hope he gets a hit this time, because he's such a fabulous actor. And I hope the writing can sustain the premise.

so I can feel ragey and superior while making fun of the bad science and ridiculous world-building. (What? It's a totally valid reason to watch something!

Hee! I don't judge! Those are perfectly good reasons to watch!

Yeah, I want to see how it all ends, if the two futures we've seen are THE future or if they can pull something else out, preferably without killing Olivia.

that's exactly how i feel about last resort. ANDRE BRAUGHER! i expect to be kind of confused - because occasionally i'm kind of slow on the uptake - and i don't care.

i don't think revolution is going to grab me but i love me some post-apocalypse and am super curious, so i'll at least watch the pilot when it airs. (i know it's online but i hate watching tv on my laptop if i don't have to.)

currently watching grimm, hell on wheels, leverage, and white collar, excited for the return of sons of anarchy and haven, vaguely apprehensive about cm on account of a spoiler i read, and mostly curious about spn. (the new showrunner could be good, could be... not.)

I dunno - I think it's a pretty straightforward - if ridiculous - premise, but we'll see. I mean, ANDRE BRAUGHER.

I'm just wondering how Kripke and JAbrams' flaws are going to fit together and if it will make me ragey or just bored.

I didn't list all the summer tv shows that come back in January, because that makes the list a lot longer: Teen Wolf, Leverage, White Collar, Suits...eep!
