The Idiot Box presents: Fall TV 2013
September 28, 2013
Unlike 2011 and 2012, I will be writing about new shows that I've already seen so yeah, you'll probably see a few more pseudo-reviews when the rest of them come out.
Let's get started!

Initial thoughts: It's a lot of fun. Samberg never misses a beat, and he has a great supporting cast. The treatment reminds me of Parks and Rec or Modern Family. Also, that Melissa Fumero is hot, yo.

Initial thoughts: I wasn't too impressed with the trailers but after 2 episodes, I am sold. The out-of-time Ichabod Crane is a delight to watch, and the added conspiracy theory layer is a nice touch. I am hoping to see more of John Cho, though.

Initial thoughts: The pilot set up an interesting premise, and I'm stoked to see how it'll all play out. Megan Boone looks fa-ha-hine but is actually believable as an FBI agent too. Score!

Initial thoughts: I've been looking for something to replace Trust Me so I was kind of hoping this one would turn out good but I was disappointed with the pilot. Williams was his usual self but I don't know, I don't like him here as much as I do in his other projects. Gellar seems kind of bland. Wolk was great though, and I hope they play off that in future episodes.

Initial thoughts: The first two episodes weren't bad at all. They do throw around a lot of jokes about Parkinson's but they're very natural and not awkward at all. Also, Besty Brandt isn't as annoying here as she is on Breaking Bad. Heh.

Initial thoughts: I haven't gotten around to watching this yet, honestly. Maybe tonight.

Initial thoughts: I like seeing Malin Akerman in light comedies, and this show showcases her talent in great fashion. The pilot itself was far from perfect, but good enough to convince me to watch at least three more episodes.

Initial thoughts: I waited for this for a long time and man, IT WAS WORTH IT. The show is peppered with MCU and comic book references, which is awesome. The dialougue could use a bit more work, but you could definitely see traces of Whedon there. Not too hot about some of the cast members (who, coincidentally, are all male) but Ming-Na and Clark Gregg make up for it. Speaking of cast members, how about Chloe Bennet, huh? Yowza. Lots of potential here.
I also tried out Mom (Anna Faris and Allison Janney) a few days ago but I didn't like it. Also. aside from the aforementioned Masters of Sex, I have Hostages (Dylan McDermott) queued.
So yeah, this is my list. What's on yours, TV geek?
