Fall television viewing schedule

[fenchurch]

I've seen a few other people do it, so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon... I used the fall schedule guide out at Futon Critic to make my list, which means I might have missed a few things, if they didn't show up there.

I'm finding myself in the strange position of hoping some of these shows really suck, because I really don't want to spend that much time watching television!

The shows in italics are the ones I want to check out, but have no idea whether they'll actually catch me in the long run.

Monday:

8PM - Chuck
9PM - Heroes
10PM - Journeyman

Tuesday:

6PM - Reaper
8PM - Bones
9PM - House

Wednesday:

8PM - Pushing Daisies
9PM - Bionic Woman

Thursday:

10PM - Without a Trace (duh!)

Friday:

9PM - Moonlight (I don't have a lot of hope for this one, but figure I'll at least give it a try.)
10PM - Numb3rs

Sunday:

8PM - Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (sometimes, you just want feel-good TV)

Sounds very similar to my planned schedule. Did you know James Marsters got a reoccurring role on Without a Trace this season?

Yeah, Moonlight is the one that's being accused of being an Angel rip-off. To be fair, Forever Knight did the vampire detective (although it was a police detective) thing long before Angel ever appeared. I'm thinking Moonlight sounds like a little of a cross between Angel, Forever Knight and Kindred: The Embraced as far as the vamp detective and actual vamp lore goes. For some reason I really, really want it to be good. I miss vamp related TV.

Random thought on Numb3rs: So what is Don's shrink going to do about the fact that all his trust issues with his team members were proved to be perfectly legit in the finale last season? Maybe Don doesn't have trust issues, he's just that good at reading people. And I'm still cranky about the whole Colby thing.

What James Marsters got a reoccurring role on Without a Trace this season??? Where did you hear that?

Colby is returning so maybe it's all a plan-within-a-plan kind of thing.

The only new show I'll try is "Moonlight" because I need my vampire-fix.

It was announced on his website about a week ago, and Matt Roush and assorted other TV critics have been doing the dance of joy about it.

Oh yeah... that's why that one rated a "Duh" after the listing. :-) I've never actually seen the show before, but it always struck me as being one I would probably enjoy, so I'm pretty happy he's gotten a role on that show.

For some reason I really, really want it to be good. I miss vamp related TV.

I would love for it to be good, because it hits a lot of my buttons for genre shows... but with all the behind the scenes turmoil and changes, I'm not holding out a lot of hope. That's not going to keep me from checking it out, though.

So what is Don's shrink going to do about the fact that all his trust issues with his team members were proved to be perfectly legit in the finale last season? Maybe Don doesn't have trust issues, he's just that good at reading people.

I know!!! My optimistic side hopes they did that deliberately.

And I'm still cranky about the whole Colby thing.

I totally didn't see it coming, but I could also buy it as a plot twist. I just hope they find some way of keeping him on the show. Which reminds me that I really need to get rackham to sit down and watch the finale so I can finally talk to him about it!
