imwaldeI've tried out a couple of new shows this fall: The Player, Minority Report, Limitless, Quantico, Blind Spot, and the Muppets. So far I am not in love with any of them, but none have definitively turned me off. I'll give them a bit longer, as my real shows (aka 70% of the CW's lineup) do not return until next week. As good as I am at recognizing actors typically, I impressed even myself when seeing a bearded profile of a mysterious lurking stranger on Blind Spot and knowing instantly it was AJ from Empire Records TWENTY YEARS LATER OMG.
I am sort of torn about the Muppets, because even as I mostly enjoy it, I feel conflicted. One the one hand, it's super distressing to see them acting like assholes (the show's relationship with Miss Piggy is super weird) but on the other hand, each episode has made me laugh, and it does feel very now in tone. I don't know.
I like the lead guy on Limitless. He carries off the premise very well and is very watchable. But last night's episode very complicated MOTW that needed his genius to solve made me realize how many shows there where the writers have to constantly come up with super complicated puzzles that only their geniuses can solve. Limitless can be added to Elementary, Scorpion, Sherlock, White Collar, Forever, and others I am sure. I bet those writers sneer at Law and Order writers, oh, the boyfriend did it, how SIMPLE, but secretly cry tears of envy.
We're due to get a soaking this weekend, with 3-6'' of rain falling, perhaps more. And then Joaquin might bring yet more later in the weekend. I am all stocked up on food, and have nowhere I have to be. I am sort of excited for a rainy, stormy weekend at home in my pjs. Just no power outages or terrible flooding, please!
