Back In The Game
Premise: When her less-than-athletic son doesn’t make the little league team, down and out and recently divorced Terry Gannon Jr. decides to coach him and the other rejects with the help of her overbearing father. Hilarity ensues.
Why I’m Excited: Okay, so maybe it’s a little much to say I’m excited for this, but I am optimistic. That’s mostly because I will follow any Psych cast member to any new show and root for it with all my heart, and if you don’t want the best for Maggie Lawson, you’re just wrong. Though it does distress me that this will cut into her Psych screen time, it’s pretty clear that the show (however much it hurts me) is winding down now after a great, long, and well-deserved run. This is for new beginnings.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Premise: From the world of Marvel and The Avengers comes the new show centering on, that’s right, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson puts together a small team to handle cases that will test the team in cooperation and ingenuity as they try to work together figuring out newly emerging superhuman individuals in the world (wikipedia).
Why I’m Excited: I’m probably the only person in the world who is excited for this but who doesn’t actually care about superheroes and villains, Marvel, or The Avengers. For me, this is about Whedon’s return to television.
Sleepy Hollow:
Premise: Tom Mison stars as Ichabod Crane in this modern-day retelling of Washington Irving's classic short story, from Fringe's Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Frozen in time for 250 years, Crane awakes to partner up with Sleepy Hollow's sheriff Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) to solve the mysteries of a town ravaged by evil forces.
Why I’m Excited: I really haven’t heard much about this show, but I’m still not over Fringe and this show comes from Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci. There's not much more to explain there.

What new shows are on your watch list?
I'm still on the fence about Sleepy Hollow. I've heard mixed reviews about it, and I just can't see it being something I would easily get into. However, it does have some appeal for it's Fringe roots, and the addition of John Noble starts to push it more into my "I'll check this out eventually" list.
ReplyDeleteWhile I've still only watched the pilot, I would recommend the Blacklist. The first episode had potential, which is more than I can say about most of the debuting shows this season.
I've watched the first two now and some parts are good and I expect more from other parts. From what it has now I can't imagine it going anywhere near the awesomeness of Fringe, but that first season was also slow to me so maybe it's too soon to say. And I agree, even though I might have abandoned it earlier, I now have to stick around to see John Noble at least once.
