I managed to crank through Emily in Paris which is still ridiculous but perfectly fluffy. I’ve also started watching some of the new fall tv! Matlock was a fresh enough take on the title of the show if not an Andy Griffith remake (which is probably a good thing). High Potential also was entertaining if only for Kaitlin Olson in a procedural. Rescue: Hi-Surf was ok, I’m assuming we’ll get to know the characters, romances, etc. better but not sure this rescue of the week will be as engaging, I do like to watch surfing so it’s got that going for it. There’s a new episode tonight. We also have the VP debate hitting on 10/1.
I finished my rewatch of The Good Place and I forgot how many levels of that show there were, it really was so good, and the finale brings all the feels all over again. I also did a little Mom rewatch which is overall a fun show. Weird to see the evolution of focus and characters though I do selfishly wish that “Christy” had stuck around for the final season.
- 911: Lone Star (Fox) Season Premiere, Monday 9/23, 8pm – I don’t know why I stuck with this one and not the original but I feel like I heard this is the final season.
- Brilliant Minds (NBC) Series Premiere, Monday 9/23, 10pm – I don’t know why some shows are more appealing than others sometimes, I like Zachary Quinto but am maybe over the genius Dr. Thang, but I will of course watch it, and see what I think.
- Penelope (Net) Series Premiere, Tuesday 9/24 – This is done by the Duplass brothers who I generally appreciate but think this might be YA, a girl forms a new life in the wilderness to get away from society.
- Murder in a Small Town (Fox) Series Premiere, Tuesday 9/24, 8pm – Based on a book series this is a big city detective who solves crimes in a, you guessed it, small town.
- Everybody Still Hates Chris (Com) Series Premiere, Wednesday 9/25, 10pm – An animated version of the comedy series where Chris Rock tells stories of his youth.
- Grotesquerie (Fx) Series Premiere, Wednesday 9/25, 10pm – I’m done with Ryan Murphy’s horror and true crime recreations, this is the former.
- Nobody Wants This (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 9/26 – Veronica and Seth date, ok I know these actors from a lot of stuff but putting them together brings back Veronica Mars and The OC, in this it’s an opposites attract, meddling families kind of thing.
- Sullivan’s Crossing (CW) Season Premiere, Wednesday 10/2, 8pm – This was a schmaltzy show I almost quit last season and am planning to tune into one episode to see where things are at before cutting ties unless I get sucked in.
- Joan (CW) Series Premiere, Wednesday 10/2, 9pm – Jewel Thief, you bet.
- Heatstopper (Net) Season Premiere, Thursday 10/3 – This is a sweet show, and looking forward to seeing what these teens are up to.
- Found (NBC) Season Premiere, Thursday 10/3, 10pm – This is another show I am hoping to break up with, their missing person case of the week is fine but the overarching premise is just a little out of control.
- The Franchise (HBO) Series Premiere, Sunday 10/6, 10pm – A comedic take on the behind-the-scenes of the making and ecosystem of a franchise movie.
