new and noteworthy tv: 10/17-10/23

Finally getting caught up enough to start ruling things out for fall, though a few more things keep trickling in.

• Jane the Virgin (CW) Season Premiere, Monday, 9pm – Another one that folks enjoy but isn’t my bag.
• The Odd Couple (CBS) Season Premiere, Monday, 9:30pm – I guess some shows are low enough on the radar to return.
• Chance (Hulu) Series Premiere, Wednesday – Hugh Laurie take another turn as a tv doctor this time based on Kem Nunn psychological thriller, worth a look.
• Presidential Debate (Various) Wednesday, 6pm – Chris Wallace moderates.
• It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (ABC) Wednesday, 8pm – Some things can always be counted on.
• The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Fox) Thursday, 8pm – Intrigued by the redo but not sure that even if it’s good I’m truly interested.
• Project Runway: Fashion Startup (Life) Series Premiere, Thursday, 10:30pm – Think Shark Tank for fashion.
• Black Mirror (Net) Season Premiere, Friday – I was engaged with but I can’t say the creepy random future series was necessarily enjoyable, I’ll probably go back.
• Midnight Diner (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday – A Tokyo drama import set in a late night eatery, this doesn’t seem to be much on anyone’s radar.
• Vampire Diaries/Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CW) Season Premiere, Friday, 8/9pm – I’m not on board with either of these but they have some apparent appeal.
• Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (BBCA) Series Premiere, Saturday, 9pm – Adapted from Douglas Adams novels a detective who doesn’t detect teams up with struggling musician, worth a look.
• The Walking Dead (AMC) Season Premiere, Sunday, 9pm – This is still on season pass for me but it’s a bad sign that I was bummed when I realized it was back already.
