So the International TV Mods (and me, for good measure) are going about things a little differently this year. 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.

All Fox, right? I've got Lucifer and Minority Report on the go but haven't got time to watch them yet. The latter seems like it might be a keeper, but this IS Fox.
Blindspot and Supergirl are out there as well.
The only two shows I'm even remotely interested in watching that are new are Code Black & Scream Queens.

Blood and Oil

The Catch

The Muppets

Of Kings And Prophets

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Legends Of Tomorrow

Minority Report

Scream Queens

Emerald City

Heroes Reborn

 

I've got the Supergirl pilot to watch after my exam. Had it a while, just haven't had a chance to get round to it.

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.
It does strike me as being something that should have been passed off to the CW as it just fits with their current line-up so well.

TBS have renewed American Dad for ANOTHER 2 22 episode seasons, meaning 66 episodes across 2016, 17 and 18. 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)

Well Wednesday is packed full of jems; America's Next Top Model, Law and Order, Modern Family, Nashville, South Park and Survivor - can't complain about that!

Is anyone watching Quantico? It's one of the best debut shows I've watched in the last years.
  • Author
Nah, I won't be bothering with it as there doesn't seem to be much in the way of originality about it. I've already got my by the numbers procedural fix in Majors Crimes.

I am not sure where to post this but it has Tina Fey so watch it!

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).

CBS have pushed new Jane Lynch vehicle Angel From Hell to February and pulled 2 Broke Girls to November. Basically switching them around.
  • 2 weeks later...

ABC have basically cancelled Blood & Oil by reducing it to 10 episodes and NBC have done the same with The Player which has been cut back to 9 episodes.
  • Author

Limitless, The Grinder, Dr. Ken and Life In Pieces all now have full season orders whilst Truth Be Told has also had its episode order cut to 10. 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.

Dr Ken though? It looks SO pedestrian and targeted for 29 year olds who still live with their mothers and write racist youtube comments just for attention. (So basically just for the sarah michelle type)
