2015 - 2016 TV Season

Last year was a very solid year for new shows: Empire, Madam Secretary, Jane the Virgin, The Flash, Fresh off the Boat, Wayward Pines, The Astronauts Wives Club, and Scorpion remain on my PVR list.

This year? Only Supergirl (which I'm extremely lukewarm about). Hopefully, the midseason shows are an improvement.

I'm lucky, I've found three that I'm really enjoying. Chicago Med, Limitless and the amazing Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I was happily surprised to find that the star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Rachel Bloom) is also the creator and one of the writers of the show. What a talented woman! A bonus for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is that I get to see more of Tovah Feldshuh who also plays (played?) Deanna on The Walking Dead.
 
I like Supergirl, Quantico, Blindspot, and Minority Report but I can see why Minority Report maybe cancelled.
 
I added Chicago Med to my non-existent list of shows I watch but only because I'm already watching the rest of the Chicago shows. None of the other shows really interested me enough to even watch the Pilot. Might give Quantico a try though if I get too bored during the winter hiatus. ;)
 
From the new shows that came out, I'm regularly watching Blindspot, Quantico, and Chicago Med but nothing else has kept my attention enough this year. Looking forward to a few midseason shows so hopefully they're better.

I LOVE the ratings for CF and CM on Tuesday!! Wow, when other shows are fading out or just having lower than usual numbers, CF is up quite a bit from last year and Med seems like it's a bonafide hit. Great choice for NBC to pair those two shows up this season! :cheer:
 
Did anyone else catch Colbert on Wednesday night? He had Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, and Allen Leech on. It wasn't a very long interview, especially considering it was 3 of them, but still entertaining. (and no spoilers)

If you have On Demand you can probably catch the whole thing, but if you don't here's the best bit: the three of them doing a Downton scene with American accents. :lol:

Oh, and the fact that Allen Leech was in the mix says to me that we'll be seeing Tom in season 6, so yay!
 
I'm going to buck the trend on this thread. I have been watching "Code Black" and "Chicago Med" for that last 3 weeks. I like "Code Black" better.
 
Any news on when Person of Interest season 5 will be released? I searched but nothing is coming up. I felt for sure that since do many of this season's new shows aren't doing well they would at least bring it back early next year.

Nope, so far, CBS hasn't announced anything in that regard. I think it's only ABC and Fox who've officially announced their spring schedule anyway.

I still like to watch the silly Christmas specials every year (like Rudolph, etc.). I watched The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (cartoon one) the other night and I haven't seen that one in a few years. It seemed .... odd somehow. I mean I've watched those things for years, I pretty much know them by heart, but The Grinch is not how I remember it. Did they change it? I can't explain it, but it was just ..... I don't know .... not right! There was something about it that seemed like it was changed?

DVRd the Grinch last night and watched it this morning. Sorry - I didn't see or hear anything different! I can still recite the whole thing (except some of the specific Who toys; the only one I always remember is "Gardinkas"). Could it be that they left out something important to put a commercial in on network t.v.? There was a spot right before the Grinch started going downhill that stopped and I was going to hit the FF, but it came back on, like it used to be a place to break. I think there were "only" three commercial breaks in the half hour.

There were a couple minutes of things I remembered that were left out of Emmet Otter, and it was even scheduled to be an hour and 5 minutes - to keep the commercials in.

The bright colors the last few years have really bothered my eyes though. When the green Grinch and the pink sky and the blue snow and the red outfit were all on the screen together, I got a stabbing pain in my eyebrow. Other than that, it looked like the same one I've been watching for 50 years.

Bahoo Borase, Dahoo Dorase (I'd have to look up the Whoville spelling of that) will be stuck in my head whenever anything else is not in there for the rest of the day!!!
 
Aziz Ansari managed to get some good guest stars for his first season of Netflix's "Master of None" - Claire Danes, Colin Salmon (currently on Limitless) and Danielle Brooks (From Orange is the New Black).

Ansari is nominated for lead actor in a comedy for the Golden Globes next month.

I watched also and this one was correct .....the way I remember it. I swear NBC did something to their broadcast. They redid the track, or sped it up or did something to alter the soundtrack so that it was not quite right. I wish I had had kept recording after the Rockerfeller show but I didn't. There was a message at the start of the show (on NBC) but I just glanced up and didn't read it but saw something about 'not affecting the story'. NBC did something to it! I'm just not sure what.
 
I don't think I've ever seen this before. Rookie show Blood & Oil was pretty much dead from the get-go, only a matter of time. Yet it kept on airing, and rather than making any last ditch attempts to build ratings, get a reprieve or get picked up by another network, it accepted its fate. On the finale show, they actually wrapped the whole thing up like it had been no more than a mini series - every plotline was resolved, every relationship repaired, and in the final scene, the lead character was literally staring happily into the sunset.

I'm sad it's gone as I did enjoy it in an old fashioned nighttime soap way, but I am glad that they didn't leave us few fans hanging like so many cancellations do when they either don't air the final episodes, or leave the storylines open.

AGREED! I didn't watch the show but glad to hear how they ended things. Too many cancelled shows leave you with terrible cliffhangers.
