And that sucking sound you hear is the black hole of emptiness that is the Fall TV season

Sep 01, 2009 20:32


The fall TV Guide arrived today, and at first I thought, a clothing catalog, as well, it's just so, gah, BLAND! I mean, it reminds me of what they did to the local supermarket's flyer that falls out of the newspaper.

Anyway, it's just pale, and again, all the photos are basically the same, so the spread for "Melrose Place" doesn't seem much ( Read more... )

hugh dillon, tv, stargate universe

Jamie Ray Newman made me think "might want to try this," but when I heard Paul Gross would be in Eastwick, it became must see!

I get my vampires on Being Human--but the last episode of s1 just aired, so I have to wait goodness knows how long.

So I guess this is a medical show year :P I've never liked medical dramas - too depressing.

Though V and Eastwick sound intriguing, I'm more interested in the shows that I do watch picking up better story lines. I would really like to get back into Heroes like I did with Lost... sort of. But I'm not holding my breath about it, either.

I lost my passion for heroes in season 2. Never went back, alas. Lost lost me in season 2 ;) I'm wishing I had BBC America!!!

I want Jace Hall to succeed - since he's been talking to Joe Flanigan about a project - so I'll check out V. I'll have to see if I get that ION channel. Otherwise, those 5 seasons of Emergency are sounding mighty fine. Johnny Gage for the win!

It's really sad cuz this is the first year that I've read the TV GUide fall issue and just gone "meh". I mean usually there is one show I go "oh wow!" but it's not this year.

I can't remember the last time I was actually excited about anything coming to network television. I watch some of the CBS crime shows and that's about it. I'm sure there are things I've missed but I can't be bothered to investigate anymore. Anything good just gets canceled or moved around. Otherwise I watch cable shows. :\

Yeah no kidding
:-(
Every time the trailer for SGU raises its foul head, and now that it is Sept. suspect it will be more and more, and I hear somebody say "What if we don't belong here??"
I reply outloud:
"You don't, its SGA's time slot"
PS: I feel same about Alex, but it does sound like more
Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice which to me are soaps in scrubs........they seem to all be rushing to replace ER.......I left ER after Carter left. I was finished.

Yeah, when Carter left ER.... I mean, I liked Luka but then he left and then I left. But I did come back for the last few as Carter came back.

As for SGU... I'm not watching the promo stuff much if at all. I am going to give it a try (pilot, at least) but what spoilers I didn't get to avoid have not screamed "must see TV".

I miss SGA...

I miss SGA... black_raven135 September 2 2009, 16:44:39 UTC
**sighs**
I do too.......
I think we ALL do.
I wonder if anyone mentioned it to Joe????
Had I been there, I would have told him how much
we miss Sheppard......
:-(
and since he was Joe's creation, and Joe liked him so much,
it would have had personal meaning.........

Another description would be
'that sucking sound you hear'
