Hello f-list!
I'm still trying to get back into the swing of eljay and thought that since half my calendar this week is marked up with tv shows I'd write a few thoughts and reviews.
Castle - Mondays at 10/9c on ABC
Season 3 ended with a bang, literally. Did anyone actually think Kate was going to die though?
That being said with the beginning of season 4 they had a lot of things to follow up on and only 42ish minutes to do it. They did a decent job though the murder they solve in this episode was definitely overshadowed by other things.
If you're not already watching Castle I won't spoil it for you but this show is worth watching. It's the only show I've ever gotten invested in that I don't worry about what the powers that be are going to do. I have complete faith that they know what they're doing and that it will all turn out in good time.
Season 4 premiere: A+
Glee - Tuesdays at 8/7c on FOX
Like a moth drawn to flame or when you slow down to check out an accident on the side of the road I just can't quit this show. I don't care about the characters, their relationships, or who's popular at the moment. Half the time I don't even like the songs they sing and the other half of the time I think they're awesome.
Season 3 premiere: B Make me care again please.
Body of Proof - Tuesdays at 10/9c on ABC
We get it. Dana Delany is hot for a single woman of 55. Is the whole season going to be beating us over the head with her sexuality? All of a sudden Peter is a player. (Of course I'm not bitter just because some of my Megan/Peter fantasies have been dashed.) I'm merely concerned with the direction many things are going. Like that the autopsy Megan performed was 1/10 of the episode. Less than that really.
Season 2 premiere: B+ There's room for improvement, see me after class.
Unforgettable - Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS (yes the same time as Body of Proof. Watch one and dvr the other.)
Unforgettable is a new show this fall starring Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells and Dylan Walsh as Al Burns. There are some other people but I'm not sure which ones I'm supposed to care about yet. Carrie Wells suffers from a condition known as hyperthymesia which allows her to remember everything. Hence the title. As you can imagine this ability would come in handy working as a detective.
Some reviews suggested that Unforgettable was forgettable. I would encourage everyone to give it a chance. Do I see this show lasting a long time? Not really. Do I see potential? Most definitely.
Series premiere: B+ Could use some polishing.
Revenge - Wednesdays at 10/9c on ABC
This new series starring Emily VanCamp, of Everwood fame, is a modern day retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo. VanCamp's character is integrating herself into the Hampton's circle of elite to get revenge on the people who killed her father and ruined her family.
I feel like this show is going to be really great but I wonder how long it can last. Realistically there can't be that many people for her to exact her revenge on right?
For those who might be interested it's my understanding that Max Martini will be playing a recurring role.
Series premiere: A
Let me know what your thoughts on these shows were in the comments.
Other shows I plan on watching this fall are: Charlie's Angels, Person of Interest (speaking of Monte Cristo), Parks and Recreation, Nikita, The Good Wife, Pan Am, and Terra Nova. If you're interested in my thoughts on these once they air let me know.
