New Fall Shows this season are looking promising

:-D :major

Terra Nova is about to start on OZ TV.

Bazza

 

Laura, what channel is that Terra Nova on? Oh, BTW I thought 'shoe' was a reference to Ed Sullivan.:-D

 

Hmm, not on my local Fox channel, but then they have news @ 10. Hell's kitchen is on here. Another day I guess.

 

Yup, I just checked next Monday's sched, on at 9. Just as well though, Unthinkable is on right now.:cool

 

Starting soon here in OZ. Not sure of actual date yet.

You are much too young. :major
The Ed Sullivan show was on in the 50's-'60's. He introduced Elvis, and later The Beatles to the USA TV audience.
He had a funny accent, even for an American, and he pronounced "show" as "shoe". :-D

Bazza

I WAS wondering how you were going to record a shoe. Maybe take a vid of your feet or something?confused

On a more relevant note:- Terra Nova is pretty good, i.m.o.; New Girl - NOOOT!!; Person of Interest: Meh - Pretty so-so to me.
But yeah, some good stuff scheduled for Sept. onwards on most stations.

Ha.

MY GOD, MAN.
How can there be a conversation about upcoming fall shows, and nobody has mentioned season 2 of BOARDWALK EMPIRE starting Sept 25th ?

Seriously y'all, i'm almost ashamed of ya !!

 

Title of thread is "New Fall Shows ..." rolleyes

 

And season 2 IS new

 

On your recommendation Laura I went ahead and watched Lie to me from the beginning and I have to admit its one of my favourite shows now,unfortunately its now been cancelled after season 3 Probably to pay for Terra Nova there's more CGI in that than toy story.:-D

Fox has also cancelled Human Target which I was just getting into.

Really looking forward to the second season of The Walking Dead its absolutely awesome and of course Terra Nova.

Anyone watch Lost Girl? I don't like the show but the girl is Perdy:yumj

Also watching reruns of Regenesis and and currently watching the fourth season of Burn Notice which has been a bit of a disappointment so far but maybe it'll pick up,at least I know there's a season five been made.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429422/

Regenesis is a run of the mill PG sci-fi type show about contagious desease but every so he just says Fu&&!:-D Its so unexpected and doesn't really fit which always cracks me up.

 

I rarely wish I was more into TV than I am, but there are a couple of shows that look sort of interesting this year. Terra Nova would be one I watched if I bothered, along with Person of Interest.

However, I know better. I don't even think to turn on the TV unless someone else does, and my "schedule" does not lend itself toward watching shows that have an ongoing plot. Even if I record them, it won't occur to me to watch them later. Which means I end up watching a LOT of shows in re-runs, in random order, and am typically confused by them. LOL

 

Ohhh 'The cape'

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1593823/

Wow! Really low imdb score for a TV series but I like it Just like watching one of the many marvel movies every week,an escape.

Anyone watch Carnivale?Just finished watching season 1.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319969/

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2645917952/tt0319969

I've really got into this show lately,has the same feel as boardwalk empire actually but with magic and stuff:-D

Exactly one month before season two of the walking dead premiers in the UK.

 

oooh, how did u see it?? just premiered this hour in the US, and u posted this yesterday!

anyway, i too saw it, many years ago. it was called "Minority Report".

 

I get to see many sneak-peek previews, usually before they air, plus I'm not on the U.S. timetable.. That way, I get to know whether it's worth the look and the hype at times when they finally get to show the series on satellite/cable.

 

I, also, was wondering how you got to see these shows first, compared to the East Coasters. :-D LOL

Bazza

does "sneak peek preview" mean actually seeing the SHOW (via being in industry or somesuch), or just some extended AD?

if the latter, i've "seen" every show discussed in this thread. but i wouldn't form nor profer any opinions based on that.

 

Nope, I've usually watched the 1st Ep or Pilot in advance. - Be pretty lame having an opinion on an ad/trailer rolleyes. Comes from having the right contacts. Unless it's something I'm really not into, of course. I actually watch very little T.V., unless it's some documentary I'm following. (Hint:- You don't need to watch a T.V. show on T.V.)

 

Yeah,yeah Phantom I have the same contacts

A good torrent program is great for meeting up with 'contacts'

Just joking people before you lynch me:cool

 

Well, there's always that way, too, I guess.:-D
This dude I do I.T. work for is some big-wig in Ch-9. He has his own theater in his house, (smaller though). Really trips me out every time I go there.:cool There's usually some in-house message going across the screen every now and then, which can be really irritating, but such is life. (Yep, they're on DVD/Blu-Ray). I wish I had a quarter of his equipment, (insert green-envy emoticon here).

 

"Hey, Spielberg, have you walked the DOG yet?!?!?!"

 

"Property of ______ studios"

 

Anyone watch 'Chase'?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1582458/

Just finished watching episode 5 of the first season which I really had to force myself to watch after the first 4 and I've just removed it from the recording schedule. It's absolute doggy doo doo,complete skunk placenta don't waste your time.

If anyone likes it could you please tell me why? Total rip off from 'Wanted' but done much worse if that's even possible because wanted wasn't great by any articulation of the colon.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0461640/

 

For those in the UK burn notice is now showing on FX,as is a re-run of regenesis,as is the second season of The Walking dead in a month 'I like FX':-D

Carnivale is on atlantic but you have to wait a couple of months for a re-un of season one,Season 2 of boardwalk empire is also showing on Atlantic in the near future.

Save you some googling.

Anyone watch Falling skies?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1462059/

This was really hyped up and IMO it hasn't met the hype,still a good show and you can tell a lot of money has been spent but not half the show of The walking dead or boardwalk empire is.

If you imagine the cheesy alien type shows from the 80-90's but with modern effects you wouldn't be far wrong,its shown after 9.00pm called 'watershed in the UK' but there isn't any swearing,guts,sex and most of the story lines are aimed at children it seems to me.

I much prefer the dark feel of shows like stargate universe 'another one' and Walking dead.

 

oh man LOL

 

I was feeling a little creative,could have been worse:-D

Watching Chase is like being force fed putrid semi digested skunk placenta which was bred inside a 30 stone seaweed eating champions armpit that lived in an oversized trailer made from solid camel hump.

 

Got it.

forget the industry connections, just "go north, young man":

what thu...?! this is a US show!

i've never heard of such a thing.

that said, show was a HUGE letdown. shuda stayed put in canada!

 

yeah, PoI was rly rly good.

the rest...meh.

 

@LauraR.

The Terra Nova premiere is on this coming Sunday night, here in OZ. I note that it is made in Australia. :major

Bazza

 

Yes LauraR, I will.
It has been heavily promoted here, on Free to Air TV.

I missed Terra Nova:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry

 

gotta admit, i had never even HEARD of this show until 3 days ahead of time.

ditto "X Factor" -- i recall simon talking about this show 4 or 5 years ago, but the talk went away and i never saw a single promo.

reviews said that it only got 1/2 the ratings they were expecting. well, DUH -- how about a little PUBLICITY, folks?!

frankly, the show should have had the highest ratings in history, if it had only been properly promoed. what are they THINKING over there?!

FOX....BAH!

 

Promos look like a cross between Mad Max (The Road Warrior) and Jurassic Park.
:-D

THANK YOU LAURA!!!!!!!!!
It was an awesome show. I can't wait for the new ones.

 

i must say, the 2d ep of whitney was 1000x better than the first! all the annoying sidekicks were much more palatable, the annoying MOTHER was absent, and the bf's deadpan was given more room to breathe.

plus, is it just me, or did they turn the LAUGH TRACK down? all the horrid reviews about the first ep point out that we are too used to a no-laugh single camera style now (community/office/park rec/etc), but i just think it was too LOUD last week. after all, big bang, 2.5 men, even seinfeld reruns are chock full of canned laughter. never seemed to bother anyone before the WHITNEY pilot....

-----
PoI was also better 2d week than 1st...even tho 1st itself was great! that shows is just PERFECT.

-----
terra nova being rerun tonite for anyone in the US that missed it, btw.

 

Terra Nova debuted in Australia last night (Sunday) against some pretty stiff opposition programs. It will be interesting to hear how it rated.
Bones, and Castle on Channel 7, Underbelly Razor on Channel 9 and The Big Bang Theory on Go! were on at the same time. :cry

I liked it, particularly the roles of Stephen Lang, (Avatar), Jason O'Mara (US version of Life on Mars) and Shelley Conn heart)
The rain forest scenery (filmed behind Queensland's Gold Coast) and the CG were good.

It is a pity that TV channels schedule all the good shows on at the same time slot. I think Bones, and Castle, will miss out, for me. 2 of my favourites. :cry
I know that is what they deliberately do, but if you don't want to record it then someone misses out.

@LauraR.
Underbelly (various series) is probably not shown on US TV, as it is about gang wars in OZ in the '20's.
If you can rent it from a Video store, you might like it. 2 infamous ladies head rival gangs in OZ. (True story)

NB: Non-USA format, so you will need a multi-zone DVD player.
As most are these days. :cool

anything half-popular is available online these days. gone are the days that u have to choose. just google the loser(s).

i've lost a few things to "premiere overlap" myself, but managed to catch every last one after the fact.

alas, i'm on dialup, so it takes me like 3 days/ep to DL.... :cry

no, we never had that, but we haven't forgotten u completely -- another series, "Oz", was quite popular here....

seems like a rough place.

 

I missed Terra Nova too, is it worth watching? I just watched the season finale of Dr Who, Alpha's and Torchwood US.
Saw first episode of Dexter online, waiting for Walking Dead, Vampire Diaries is my secret shame show that I watch.
Alpha's started slow but by the end I really started to enjoy it.
Waiting for Being Human UK to start though I don't know if it will be good without Mitchell.
X Factor... not impressed yet, but will wait and see, I enjoyed The Voice more.
Fringe started out with a bang, I love that show! I miss SGA
I am waiting for Bones to start.
Now that my computer is working I am watching too much TV...
