New TV season
 

Right then, American'ts. Which TV shows should I be obtaining by legal-or-otherwise means? Anything new? Have any shows become late bloomers? Go!

Do yourself a huge favor and steer very clear of the new NBC show "Outsourced". I thought sitcoms were supposed to be funny, or at the very least, entertaining. Apparently NBC thinks "Culturally ignorant American stuck in Indian call center" is edgy and hilarious. Foriegn accents can't replace actual humor.

It's based on an indie film with same name, and the movie was "decent" not that great, but okay and a good enough date movie...a few laughs, not major, and a corny love story.

When I saw they were making it into a show I thought the idea was fucking ridiculous, because it's NOT a story that can (or at least should) be stretched out in a whole tv series.

I saw 10 minutes of the show and couldn't take it (because I was watching w/e was right before it)

Anyway, more to the point of this thread.
WATCH MODERN FAMILY!!
I love that show.

Clearly ripped of from "Mumbai Calling."



Eastbound & Down is back Eastbound & Down - Movie Trailers - iTunes

First ep of Running Wilde is funny. Hopefully it gets better. Running Wilde - Movie Trailers - iTunes

Lone Star looks like an interesting drama. Lone Star - Movie Trailers - iTunes

I've started watching Lost Girl which is a new low budget show on Showcase that he kind of got me hooked. It's about a girl that finds out she is a succubus and is being introduced to the underworld of demons...

Dexter

starts tonight

I'm loving "Boardwalk Empire," but that has its own thread. I am willing to stick with "Nikita" for a while, but have not been completely grabbed by too many new shows. Cable TV is where the best new shows are. The networks are only running at about 70% acceptable at best.

well the returning shows are obvious, how i met your mother, the big bang theory, 30 rock, chuck, smallville, bones and the mentalist.but on the new front theres undercovers which is mr and mrs smith meets heart to heart with a touch of true lies, an interesting spy drama but not quite as good as covert affairs or nikita. chase is just the fugitive and us marshals with tommy lee jones replaced buy a hot blond woman. and Hawaii 50 has nothing to do with the original series but was a lot better than expected. terriers was quite slow but may grow on me and the event just confused the hell out of me, its like lost on speed.
p.s. if like me your not American may i recommend eztv.it and if you are American you can also get merlin there.

Of the new ones I'll second Lonestar. It reminds me of the tv show Savannah, except the 3 hot chicks are dudes, and riverboat casinos are oil. Other than that, same show.

Chase, was meh.
Running Wilde - bad
Shit My Dad Says - About the best you can expect of a pilot, hopefully next episodes will get better.
Better With You - Bad. Lame characters.
The Event - Better get much better fast. It's just stuff we've already seen before in the pilot.
Mike and Molly - A little funny, put how many episodes can you make off of self depricating fat jokes.
Outsourced - Awful.

Those are all the brand new ones I've seen.
