Current TV, regardless the year

[Vanimal46]

September is a great time of year. Baseball's in the hunt for October, football is back, and new fall TV shows. 

There's the tried and true TV shows like Modern Family that I've watched for years... Gotham season 3, where they hopefully don't fly off the rails again... The Blacklist... 

Along with new shows such as "Designated Survivor" with Kiefer Sutherland, "The Good Place" starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, or "High Maintenance" on HBO. 

What's on your radar for Fall TV shows?

Returning for a 2nd year is 'Life in Pieces' starring Dianne Wiest and James Brolin. The first season was quite funny. Looking forward to the new season.

I don't know how they're going to top Naked and Afraid Africa, but I can't wait to find out.

Agents of SHIELD, Walking Dead, The Flash; I'll see if the new MacGyver is any good.

 

Lotsa Netflix; headed up by Luke Cage.

 

Curious about Star Trek: Discovery but that's not until January and I'm not sure if I'll pay CBS extra money to watch it.

 

Doctor Who series 10 isn't until April, I think.

[jimmer]

'The Crown' and 'Luke Cage', both from Netflix. Then I eagerly await Season 3 of Fargo next spring :-)

 

Goliath looks like it has potential.

I've seen commercials for MacGyver... I'm crossing fingers it's good. 

Heard good things about Luke Cage. I'll add that to the list.

Wasn't Fargo a winter TV show? Sad that we have to wait until the spring.... I'll patiently wait for greatness, though.

Have you watched Daredevil (both seasons) and Jessica Jones?  If not, I'd watch them first.

Last Man on Earth comes back on the 25th.

I have not. Adding those to the list as well. 

[jimmer]

I'd suggest watching them in order.  Daredevil Season One, Jessica Jones, Daredevil Season 2.  These are extremely well done shows, not just well done superhero shows.

We tried watching that show and stopped after 2 episodes. It must have gotten better for it to start a 3rd season.

We had a thread here on Jessica Jones. I remember Daredevil also being talked about ... maybe on that thread as well?

Jessica Jones is the logical prerequisite for Luke Cage, as he's introduced in that series.

 

[jimmer]

Dirk Gently looks good too.

The books were certainly good.

Nah, I don't think very many people like it. I'm pleasantly surprised that it's been given a 3rd season.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Luke Cage and Westworld top my list.

 

And if you're not watching The Get Down right now, you're missing out.

Better than Vinyl on HBO? 

[TheLeviathan]

Luke Cage and Westworld are atop my list.  Eagerly awaiting Legion, Fargo, Game of Thrones, and American Gods coming out later.

 

Gotham went so far off the rails I gave up last season.  I wanted, so badly, to like that show.

 

Walking Dead won't get my audience until some Sunday afternoon replay.  That show needs to figure out it's bad trolling crap before I'll tune in again in their primetime slot.

The bar can be set higher than that, can't it? :-)

American Gods is the one I couldn't remember, thanks.

I skipped Vinyl entirely. Given that it was cancelled, so did everyone else.

I would hope so! Vinyl went down hill real quick. The Get Down looked like another version of it, so I've ignored it so far.

You didn't miss out on anything there. One of the rare HBO failures in recent memory.

Vinyl was a show that tried to be deep, and failed miserably.

Herizen F. Guardiola is gorgeous!

You people watch too much television.

[PseudoSABR]

 

You people watch too much television.

If they had TVs in the Northern Kingdom you wouldn't say that, my friend.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

You people watch too much television.

I watch a fair amount of television but mostly I keep my viewing to short seasons that I can watch in a week or so. It's why I seem to watch so many different shows but my actual time spent "watching" television is moderate.

 

(not including the mindless TV I have playing in the background while working/drawing but that barely qualifies as "watching")

 

There are maybe (2?) long-season shows I watch (20+ episodes per season). Most of the stuff I watch is 13 episodes or fewer (Marvel Netflix, You're the Worst, HBO stuff, etc).

 

By the way, You're the Worst is so fuggin' good.
