Update #4 on the new season…

October 5 2011

So I’m pretty much caught up on all the new series.The Playboy Club, Prime Suspect and Pan Am are covered below for new series, as well as returning seasons for Fringe, Blue Bloods and Being Erica. Plus some random thoughts on other shows (shh, it’s a secret list).

But as you read on, don’t forget — SPOILER ALERT.… Read the rest

Short update on the new season…

PolyWogg.ca
September 27 2011

Into the second week of some of the shows:

  • Covert Affairs had a big development with potential job change for Augie — I hope he’s not leaving the show, he’s one of the parts I like;
  • Suits had a great episode about romance — for just about everyone, and Mike made a big decision that hurt his chances at the firm but helped him reaffirm the kind of lawyer he wants to be (hint: going “soft” in a cross-examination because the witness is a friend is not a selling feature for associates);
  • Secret Circle had another death, keeping the force going, and the binding ritual has been completed;
  • NCIS was kind of stupid, with storyline about a foster child with a Peter Pan complex;
  • Lost Girl brought Kenzi into the Fae fold as an ex-slavic girl who fears a female boogeyman; and,
  • How I Met Your Mother reintroduced “Victoria” as a long-lost Ted love, and she was great in the episode but with huge revelation that Ted still has a thing for Robyn (but we know from previous years that she becomes “Aunt Robyn” so she’s not the titular Mother).

Update #3 on the new season…

September 26 2011

The week of premieres continued last week, although I got a bit behind fast in my TV watching with life interfering. I did however manage to watch Castle, Hawaii Five-O, Unforgettable, Revenge, Law and Order: SVU, Big Bang Theory, Charlie’s Angels, Person of Interest, The Mentalist, and Nikita. 😆 Plus another new show, a surprise one.… Read the rest

More updates on the new season so far…

September 22 2011

I did it! I survived the summer of reruns and, at last, there is fresh food in the TV world! (Okay, so my excitement is a little extreme, but give me the remote, and nobody gets hurt.) So far I’ve seen both new (Secret Circle, Ringer, Whitney) and old (NCIS, NCIS: LA, and How I Met Your Mother).… Read the rest

The new season is upon us…

September 9 2011

So the new season is just about upon us, with some networks kicking off new shows already while some networks are gearing up for the week of new shows (which will take place mainly from September 19th to 25th). Fair warning in advance — spoilers abound below.

Lost Girl and Covert Affairs already premiered on Showcase and are looking somewhat mixed – Lost Girl is back to freak of the week, although with pending doom looming at the end of the episode through a Banshee-like foretelling of fire and brimstone coming, as foretold by a creepy little girl.… Read the rest

No, really, I watched “American Ninja Warrior” and liked it…

August 26 2011

So let me start by saying that just the name alone for this reality show made me cringe. And I honestly thought there was no possible way I would like it. But I hadn’t heard of it, read the description of the finale, and saw that it was competing in a Japanese game show around an obstacle course.… Read the rest

Previewing the 2011 fall season…

August 13 2011

Before I get to my analysis of the upcoming season, I have to confess three things up front. First and foremost, I am a TV junkie. I rarely get to the movies anymore, and I love serialized storytelling. So weekly shows are good for me. And a PVR makes my addiction all that much easier to manage.… Read the rest
