Turns out I’ve sort of stopped doing this since with the ebb and flow of television there’s not one fixed time that I have a set fall schedule. But I have dabbled in almost all of the broadcast fall tv so I thought I’d let you know where I netted out. Lopez vs Lopez still hasn’t started but I feel like we’re good and if it’s awesome I’ll let you know.
Monday
- Quantum Leap (NBC, 10pm) – This is a fun enough pickup from the original with a nice combo of random scenario of the week and overarching stuff and the characters are generally likable.
Wednesday
- The Conners/Abbott Elementary/Home Economics (ABC, 8/9/9:30pm) – No real change here, I’m game for more funny with Abbott being the standout.
Thursday
- Ghosts/So Help Me Todd (CBS, 8:30/9pm) – Ghosts is the other comedy standout and Todd isn’t revolutionary but Skylar Astin and Marcia Gay Harden sell it as mother/son kind of working (Attorney/PI) odd couple.
- Alaska Daily (ABC, 10pm) – So far this has felt really quality with Hilary Swank as a fish out of water journalist trying to get to the bottom of ignored indigenous crimes and ruffling feathers along the way for good and for bad.
- Call Me Kat (Fox, 9:30) – This show is almost funny, but I am crushed to have lost Leslie Jordan who was the bright spot here, not sure it will be worth it without him but we’ll see what they do.
- Law & Order (NBC, 8pm) – I feel like it’s lost its edge with the topical ‘ripped from the headlines’ but there’s a nostalgia factor here.
Sunday
- Family Law/Coroner (CW, 8/9pm) – The Canadians should not be underestimated, and I am adding this reluctant to be working together family of attorneys (and other related professions) with a can’t help but like her protagonist to the already enjoyed death investigation of the week.
- The Equalizer (CBS, 8pm) – I mean Queen Latifa can solve it when you have nowhere else to turn, sure.
I have also been enjoying Welcome to Wrexham (which just wrapped but I’m behind, Fx/Hulu), Atlanta which is not done yet but I’m also behind on (Thursday at 10, Fx/Hulu), and Reginald the Vampire (Wednesday at 10, Syfy) which is very charming.
Do you still watch broadcast tv? Any winners?
