I watched the first couple of episodes, and I’m taking it off my DVR schedule. It’s turning into a long “terror attacks cause oppression of Muslims” thing.

The military and JCS were anathemas from the first 10 minutes.

I think if this scenario did unfold and the Sec HUD was prez, then the military, and pretty much everyone else, would wonder why was this idiot the DS.

The whole point of having a Vice President, is for him to be the President if the President dies in office. Why they would have ANYBODY BUT the VP be the "designated survivor" escapes me.

I watch blue bloods. The rest i could but don’t want to get into anything else that will take time.

Blue bloods is okay I mostly watch it hoping Jackie will come back. Those are the best episodes. They lost a lot when they gave up Jennifer Esposito. She and Donnie Wahlberg had a detective duo that was classic acting chemistry. “To tell the truth” is one of the top ten tv shows of all time in my record. And blue bloods puts in an occasional liberal message which is horrible

sometimes their Catholic or Irish cultural premise can be just wrong and that is not ok

My shelves of books waiting to be read has priority over watching most of what is on TV.

Jennifer Esposito is now on NCIS. I still enjoy her acting.....totally believable in any role.

"just another TV show designed to portray Democrats in a favorable light" I hope you're not surprised by that fact. Every TV show and movie is designed to do just that. For years NCIS stayed away from it but over the last 5 or so years Gibbs has become a Progressive and the scripts constantly push progressive themes. Stop watching TV except for Michigan Wolverine football games.

I know. Which NCIS? Shame because the team of Jackie c and Dannie Reagan was classic. She knows how to be a girl and do her job at the same time. She is very good

She is on the new season of the original NCIS. She and Wilmer Valderrama are the new cast members since the loss of Michael Weatherly. She is good.......the jury is still out on Valderrama. And yes, the show has been trending Left which is disappointing. I wish Gibbs would get some of his pi** and vinegar back, flailing against political correctness. Sadly he had become politically correct. Not a good move.

Episode 2 ruined what could have been a good story line...
It’s off my list to watch now.

I have watched each episode. I like it in spite of the many eye rolling moments.

I’ll keep watching to see if Kiefer morphs from simple Simon to Jack Bauer. He has given glimpses of this and I just want to see if it happens more to point where he starts kicking ass.

I agree. The pacifying of all things liberal is not anything I would ever watch.

In fact, I’m watching Animal Planet more .. they have a lot of good programs about the Warden Service - most in the Northeast states, but a new one in TX is also interesting. They are a totally different breed of police .. it’s really interesting how they operate.

And, a couple of the new ANIMAL VET programs are really funny; but watch out for the animal surgery scenes, they might not be appropriate for children. The 3 guys who started their own business in Houston, are a sketch; and you get to meet their families .. it’s really a fun show to watch. It’s great to watch a show where you get to laugh.

So, I’d say probably 90% of the new stuff is not on my playlist. Too much violence, over played sex scenes, and outright spooky stuff. I’d advise parents to be very careful what they let their children watch from the new shows coming on this fall.

I watched the first episode and then watched last night. Last night’s episode features the evil Republicans trying to start a war and overthrow the President so I’m done with it.

For gods sake, it’s been on 7 years and two episodes were left leaning and you give up on it. No wonder Hollywood says screw conservatives. Can you blame them with your attitude?

It’s off my list to watch now.

I have Ep 3 recording and will give it one more chance.

I have a feeling that the "terrorists" who WMD'd the Capitol will be "home grown" tea party terrorists.

That will end my watching.

Muslim terror is a diversion — I’m guessing they’ll show the bad guys as white American conservatives.

Military — shown as over-the-top buffoons. Get a grip Hollywood.

Minority quota in the casting — they doubled or tripled it. The voting members of awards will be pleased I’m sure.

Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland is a confused person in this series, which means he very accurately plays a politician in a liberal administration.

I have recorded the third episode, could very well be my last.

I’ll take Tom Selleck and Blue Bloods any day over this mealy-mouth scripting by a bunch of wimps. They need to hire Katheryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker) to help with the script, Rupert Friend from Homeland to add some no-nonsense to the casting.

Watched first episode and it seemed okay. Have two others on tape and will take a look to see if I will continue.

Just watched “Timeless”, has promise, will see if it turns out to be any good. Basically a reboot of The Time Tunnel from the middle 1960’s.

Just tried to watch “Conviction” with Hayley Atwell. While I loved Hayley Atwell in “Agent Carter” will take a pass on this thing, Looks like too much PC from Liberal Hollywood.
