Until mid-season or the schedules shake up again I’ve mostly settled in to a lineup. So far here’s how things shake out. Though there aren’t any new breakout hits for me I have added a couple new picks.
Monday
- 8pm – Chuck (NBC)/How I Met Your Mother (CBS) [House (Fox)]
- 10pm – Castle (ABC)/Hawaii Five-O (CBS)
I’m still tempted to drop House but I get into this mental state where I feel like I’ve invested so many seasons into it so I kind of want to see how things play out. Other than that old favorites Chuck, HIMYM, and Castle are joined by fluffy fun enough so far 5-0.
Tuesday
- 8pm – No Ordinary Family (ABC)/Glee (Fox)
- 9pm –
Raising Hope/Running Wilde (Fox) - 10pm – The Good Wife (CBS)/Parenthood (NBC) [Detroit 1-8-7 (ABC)/Sons of Anarchy (Fx)]
So far NOFamily is a nice mix of family drama and super skills [though this isn’t a bad show I found I wasn’t engaged enough to keep it on the listings] while the uneven Glee still keeps me coming back. Keeping SofA on the schedule is not a problem since FX replays stuff repeatedly, but debating on what to do about wanting to add 1-8-7 to my already booked hour. Since both Hope and Wilde are on my chopping block I wish I could move one of these up an hour.
Wednesday
- 8pm – The Middle/Better With You (ABC)/America’s Next Top Model (CW)
- 9pm – Modern Family/Cougar Town (ABC)/Law & Order: SVU (NBC)
- 10pm – The Defenders (CBS)/Law & Order: Los Angeles (NBC) [Terriers (Fx)]
Am losing interest in ANTM and the Law & Orders but keeping them in the running with the comedies. Better w/You isn’t quite funny but the episode about living in a fire house kept me interested just because I’ve always wanted to live in a fire house (or light house) but it may go soon. Terriers is probably my favorite new show so keeping that on the agenda isn’t a problem while Defenders is so far sort of charming enough to keep me tuned in.
Thursday
- 8pm – The Big Bang Theory (CBS)/Bones (Fox)/Community/30 Rock (NBC)
- 9pm – Grey’s Anatomy (ABC)/The Office (NBC) [Project Runway (Life)]
- 10pm – The Mentalist (CBS)/It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Fx)
Another tough first hour as I’m not willing to give up Bones, Big Bang or Community though the rest of the night seems to fit in fine. Holding out to see if Office picks up or drops off, especially with Michael’s scheduled departure.
