I will be using this thread to comment on this season's new and returns shows as I watch them either live or via Tivo.

So far, the Winners are "Major Crimes" is a worthy follow on to "The Closer." The jury is still out on "Revolution" being a regular stop. "Boardwalk Empire" stays the course being interesting and bloody. "Son of Anarchy" is a guilty pleasure that has me watching while thinking out loud 'Why am I rooting for these crooked SOBs?' "Mike and Molly" still give me a laugh.

Losers so far are "Mob Doctor" that needs to be put down quick. Last year I tried watching 'New Girl' numerous times and did not find one funny thing. Not one laugh out loud instance. I find the same situation with "Go On, Partners and 2 Broke Girls" Not funny at all and even "How I met your Mommy" lacking laugh out loud anything.

Still to come and still on the Tivo are "Vegas, Son of Anarchy, CSI, Big Bang, Two and Half Men, Elementry, Fringe, Made in Jersey and The Good Wife"

Well, I shall return with more comments as time passes by... Y'all put in your two cents.

I skeptically watched Vegas. Series that bring in ‘old’ tough guy hero stars and then have to use special effects to make the old guy appear virile and able to take on many bad guys in a single scene, etc., just don't cut it.

Vegas was watchable. I'll watch the next episode or two and see how it going then.

Some series [NCIS, Bones, Criminal Minds, etc.] have been on so long that they have run out of story ideas. Thus, they just have more bizarre crime scenes that test credulity.

TNT’s Perception is fun to watch, but the premise is ridiculous. The Prof is incapable of walking across campus without talking to hallucinations, yet he is able to conduct classes almost flawlessly and solve crimes. Add to that the female FBI agent who goes into dark alleys and abandoned building late at night, alone, no backup and manages to take down the bad guy. Yawnnnnnnnnn.

Mob Doctor was my prediction as the first series of the new season to be cancelled and pulled. So far, the viewership numbers are below the reruns on other channnels.

The actress who plays the part of “Abby Sciuoto” on ‘NCIS’, has already stated in the past few weeks, that she is quite comfortable in ‘paying more taxes from her salary’.

The character ‘Gibbs’ admitted in the show that ‘he hurt my family’, with the idea of ‘his family’ being the ‘NCIS Team’, that he leads, brewing for some time, between the basement discussion with ‘Ziva David’, of how he has been more of a father to her, than her Israeli Mossad Chief father, ‘Eli David’, and the training/’grooming’/’surrogate son’ (I’m old Fed guy, so this is the correct term ‘grooming’) of ‘Anthony DiNozzo’ in leading the team.

One thing about the series that I have noticed, from the beginning. Anyone that was ‘involved in Cold War activities’, has been played very low key, including Gibbs, Franks, and others whom I forget at the moment, and have survived for the sake of the show, “to have all the loose strings finally tied up and pigeonholed.”

“The jury is still out on “Revolution” being a regular stop. “

I love this show. Katnis meets One Second After. But I am SO afraid they are going to take a PC turn. It’s almost like you can smell it coming.

Put me on a ping list for these updates if you have one.
