Scribbles About TV: NBC Fall Schedule

So here is the network I'm least excited about. All of my favorite shows used to be on NBC... now the only shows I've watched there ended or were cancelled and I don't think there were many new things that looked that good... so I'm concerned. I love NBC as a network, I think overall they've had some of the best tv series ever and I love their late night shows... I might start watching something out of loyalty to the network... but to be honest its not the first thing I'm worried about. Its not like I need any more shows to watch. Lol.

Monday 

8pm The Voice- I don't like reality tv shows and Gwen Stefani is on this show and whenever I listen to Gwen Stefani... something terrible happens. So she is banned from my life until after my sister's wedding. Lol. Sorry Gwen! This goes on until 10pm too! Crazy!

10pm Blindspot- This looked cool. Kind of reminded me of Momento or Lucy or something along those lines. I think this looks really good and I think it'll be a big hit. I think its up against something else that I like... and sometimes I don't love watching regular TV that late at night... so I may or may not check it out. Sometimes I don't pay that much attention to a show if I already watch other shows before it. This is on after Jane The Virgin... so yeah...

Tuesday 

8pm The Voice- I don't like reality tv and I don't like them having it two days in a row... its just too much.

9pm Chicago Med- My mom is excited about this one. She watches Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. I think those shows are pretty good too and I will probably catch an episode or two when my mom watches them. She usually misses them and re-watches them. My mom's Tuesdays are overwhelmed right now because of the NCIS's and The Muppets... so she may or may not watch this one too... but I think she will and it'll probably be good.

10pm Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris- I don't really know what this is about... but I love some NPH even if the end of How I Met Your Mother made me hate the show as a whole even though I loved it once. I think thats on until November and then Chicago Fire returns.

Wednesday

8pm The Mysteries of Laura- I didn't think this show would last more than a season because the title is pretty bad... but the fact that it made it a second season makes me kind of want to check it out. Probably not terrible.

9pm Law and Order: SVU- There are 2 types of people in this world: People who LOVE  Law and Order and watch it all the time even if they've seen all the episodes all the time... and people who are just so sick of Law and Order that they can't even stand the theme song... which is pretty brilliant... anymore. I'm person #2 because my sister is #1. When she lived here she would watch Law and Order 24/7. It was bad. We can't really stand the show anymore... but it isn't a bad show. I see the appeal... but I've had enough. Still we are almost out of CSI's in the world... I feel like we need a Law and Order.I think it may get phased out soon and the new franchise on NBC will be the Chicago ones... but this is good.

10 pm Chicago PD- I've already talked about this... so yeah. Lol. The crossover episodes are a bit annoying though. My mom was watching one and it ended really abruptly and then the next episode didn't even talk about any of the stuff mentioned in the previous episode because the conclusion of that was on Chicago Fire... Really? lol.

Thursday 

8pm Heroes Reborn- I watched the first episode of Heroes when it was on... could not get into it. I thought it looked so good and then just didn't grab my interest. So I'm not going to watch it. My friend Tori probably will.

9pm The Blacklist-My parents really like this show. I think my sister watches it too. I like James Spader... he's kind of a weirdo but a fantastic actor and I'm sure he's amazing in this anti-hero type role. This is up against Scandal though... so...

10pm The Player- No Idea what this is... I'm about to watch a trailer. Something to do with gambling... This doesn't look cool to me. Idk what the plot is. I don't think setting things in Vegas or in a casino immediately makes something better the way that Hollywood thinks its going to. Meh. Might be good... not going to watch because its against How To Get Away With Murder.

Friday 

8pm Undateable- Its really sad that NBC had to move its comedies to Friday... They might stand a chance though because nothing else is really on from what I've seen and these are lead ins to Grimm... which is pretty popular and a reasonably good show. Chris D'elia and Ron Funchs are on this... they're really funny guys... but I've never had a desire to see this show. Although this season its all going to be filmed live... so thats cool. I think its Live episode got such high ratings and its probably easier to do a live show, that they just thought this would work for it.

9pm People Are Talking- I haven't heard anything about this show or The Player... and I'm pretty in the know about these things... there were only a few shows from other networks where I was like WTF! But yeah, I'll watch a trailer.  I have no faith in this one already. This might be the first show cancelled this season. First off on the trailer it says its called "Truth Be Told" and on the schedule it says People are Talking... so they changed the name before it even aired but after the advertising... bad sign. Its on Fridays... bad sign. The trailer made no sense and didn't tell me what the show was about, so I don't think it was a pilot... bad sign. The big joke was that they had a hot babysitter and they found out she does porn... not realistic... and also the way they presented it was just offensive to women in a way that makes all men look like pigs also. This show looks TERRIBLE! So yeah... definitely going to avoid that one like the plague... or at least like I avoided One Big Happy... which I watched.

Also People Are Talking and Truth Be Told are both awful and generic titles... I don't get it.

10 pm Grimm- This show is pretty good, but I haven't watched it since the pilot. Its a little like Supernatural or Buffy or something like that... good show. Not my favorite paranormal show, but its a really good one.

Saturdays are just Dateline all night followed by SNL 

Sunday is just football. 

That is everything! Hope you guys are enjoying TV Week!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
