Glad Grimm survived another season

Me too. I need my weekly Monroe fix.

[Alex]

I will watch Football.

[Deathstroke]

I'll be watching SVU and Whitney (a show that embarrasses me to admit to watching and for some unexplainable reason, liking.)

[Deathstroke]

whats Do No Harm? And I see Whitney and Community get the Friday night death slots. Outside of football, I don't see one show I will watch.

If I remember right, it's some medical drama.

Cast: Scott Bakula, Brenda Song

1600 Penn
Logline: A family show set in the White House where all the kids are less than perfect.
Cast: Jenna Elfman, Bill Pullman, Josh Gad

I believe NBC made some of the worst calls of any network when it came to their Pilot pickups. Obviously they went for "star" vehicles with their sitcoms so chances are they will be terrible. Table for 3 and Animal Practice where the only sitcoms that looked like they might be good and they only picked up one. Obviously they went "cheap" with thier drama's as both Frontier and Midnight Sun might have been massive hits but they weren't the procedural route instead. I think I'll give the Abram's program a shot. 30 Rock as a lead in basically kills 30 Rock, Up All Night, and Community because no one likes that show and nothing can build off it. Hannibal is coming in as a mid-season replacement, which means it's going to likely be buried by the new Kevin Williamson serial killer show.

Glee is on the move.

Fox unveiled its official 2012-13 schedule this morning and the big news is the relocation of Ryan Murphy’s musical dramedy this fall to Thursdays at 9/8c following The X Factor results show (and American Idol at midseason). That timeslot’s former occupant, Kiefer Sutherland’s Touch, will shift to Fridays where it will lead into the final season of Fringe.

On tap for midseason, in addition to American Idol, Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, The Cleveland Show and Cops: Kevin Williamson’s Kevin Bacon-fronted serial killer thriller The Following (to air Mondays) and the Scott Foley-Becki Newton comedy The Goodwin Games (to air Tuesdays).

[Ottmeister X]

Unless one of the new shows is worth watching, The Office and Fringe and the only two worth watching for me (sans football). I liked the first few episodes of Grimm but got too busy with other stuff and stopped watching. Maybe I'll try re-watching since it got renewed for another season.

[Deathstroke]

I'll be watching Bones and check out Mob Doctor because of the lead actress Jordana Spiro. Other than that, Fox can kiss my ass.

A big question mark is the Cleveland Show right now from what I read. Fox didn't annouce the show returning. But they filmed enough episodes for next year as well. They believe Fox will likely claim the show will come back later due to this.

Sundays just got Revengier.

ABC is the third broadcast network to pull the curtain back on its 2012-13 schedule and the big news is that freshman hit Revenge is moving into Desperate Housewives‘ old Sunday/9 pm timeslot. Happy Endings and Don’t Trust the B—– In Apartment 23, meanwhile, will form their own a-mah-zing comedy block on Tuesdays at 9.

Among new shows, the Connie Britton-fronted musical soap Nashville has nabbed Revenge‘s former Wednesday at 10 pm perch, and the Shawn Ryan-produced undersea thriller Last Resort has landed the Thursday lead-off spot.
