We're going to try and review the majority of the new network TV shows and a handful of higher profile Cable shows too. Below will be a list of all new shows with a link to a thread created for more in depth discussion about them. The reviews will be posted in a separate thread at some point within the first week of the show premiering. ABC Blood and Oil The Catch Dr. Ken The Family The Muppets Of Kings And Prophets Quantico The Real O'Neals Uncle Buck Wicked City CBS Angel From Hell BrainDead Code Black Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders Life In Pieces Limitless Rush Hour Supergirl The CW Containment Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Legends Of Tomorrow Fox Bordertown The Frankenstein Code Grandfathered The Grinder The Guide To Surviving Life Houdini & Doyle Lucifer Minority Report Rosewood Scream Queens NBC Blindspot Chicago Med Coach Crowded Emerald City Game Of Silence Heartbreaker Heroes Reborn Hot & Bothered Little Big Shots The Player Shades of Blue Superstore Truth Be Told You, Me And The End Of The World Cable

Schlagerdrottningen Joined: 23 August 2010 Posts: 31,877 User: 11,709	I watched it and, well, to be polite it's heart is in the right place but the whole thing is just such a bad fit for CBS. The people behind it clearly don't really have any love or willingness to commit to the source material (which is what makes the CW DC shows so good) and just want a ride on the gravy train to middling blandness.

The first time it's ever had a full season and now it has 3 in a row . (just a shame the quality took a noticeable dip for the first half of the new TBS season)

Schlagerdrottningen Joined: 23 August 2010 Posts: 31,877 User: 11,709	It's the wonderful time of the year when full season orders are handed out, so far we have Blindspot, Fresh Off The Boat, Quantico (to 19, with room for 3 more when other new shows flop hard).

Midseason comedies Supermarket and Telenovela have also been trimmed from 13 to 11 episodes each. Also the J Lo vehicle, Shades Of Blue, will be premiering January 14th.
