Looking ahead to new fall TV season

Yeah, but is it shot in Cleveland?

 

Have read good early reviews of "Community" that claim that even Chevy Chase is funny on it ... make of that what you will.

 

Well, since LOST isn't coming back until January, I'm not counting it here. But I'm stoked for it. Love, love, love that show. For those who were disappointed with Season 5, I truly believe you will be that much more satisfied with Season 6. The entire series, especially the whackiness that was Season 5, will all make sense in Season 6.

I'm watching Fringe on Fox.com because I missed the first season. I've got about eight episodes left from Season 1 but am already excited for Season 2.

I'll really faded on The Office and CSIs late last season, but I'll pick them back up this season. Hopefully I didn't miss a lot.

Is Heroes still on? God that show sucks. I will not waste my time on that. Season 1 was good. Season 2 was below-average, but I gave it a chance because of the writer's strike. I made it about halfway through Season 3 and gave up. FUCKING THING SUCKS! /O'Reilly'd

Flash Forward looks interesting. I might even give V a chance, too.

X-Files coming back? /I slay me.

 

Maybe he saw it at Comic-Con last month (see below). They had me until the word Streisand. Well, really they had me at Barbra because I knew what the last name would be at that point. Because there is only one famous singing demon bitch hag from beneath hell who spells her first name with the missing vowel. I don't like her.

Some "spoilers" in here, but not really...

Glad you were in such a rush to post the snark that you missed the point.

 

Oh, and there better be another season of The Amazing Race coming out soon.

TAR and now Glee are probably the only primetime shows I'll really watch.

 

OOP, did you check out the TNT show starring Treat Williams that apparently was also set in Pittsburgh and dealt with organ transplants. It was okay - but too many of these shows set in hospitals seem more like the Love Boat where guest stars check in and then check out (one way or another). How many stories can you do - multiple party transplant - convincing a reluctant relative go forward with a donation - helicopter carrying vital organ crashes - doing something "never done before" - I liked Hawthorne on TNT, but the story arcs were pretty much one note.

 

I'm wondering how the CSI mothership will develop this season. Fishburne brought about nothing to the table replacing Petersen, and Helgenberger was barely seen. So we were left with the forensics, Wallace Langham and the younger co-worker pining for each other, and the two wry older guys. Bringing back Grissom again would be the leap over the marine predator, so hopefully they can sort it out. Miami is about the only CSI that seems in top form; New York is a tranquilizer personified.

The loss of Without a Trace was the first dent in the Bruckheimer police procedural juggernaut. Is his time about done?

 

Nope, OOP, you and I and Devil and a couple of others are just another set of Steelers fans, and well, we have a reputation. We seem to be open-game for the snarkies of the world, but when we fire back, well, we are the aggressers.

 

For the love of piss, is no thread safe from a Pittsburgh-jack?

And I wouldn't get too invested in this new Pittsburgh show. After three years, all the best actors will become too expensive and will be traded to one of the CSIs.

 

You know another show set in Pittsburgh — Queer as Folk.
Enjoy your gay lovin' Pittsburgh!
