Not much to do with Primetime except I think it needs more nudity!
I’m a Prime Time junkie. I freely admit it! Every fall season I make sure I watch EVERY new show on the few channels I get, ABC, CBS, NBC & Fox. I’ll even check out a show on the CW… sometimes…. rarely tho!
Anyway, so I watched a preseason preview of ABC’s new shows Go On with Matthew Perry and Animal Practice with no one I gave a shit about.
Does that tell you what I thought of those two shows! Haha. I DID enjoy Go On. But Chandler was always my favorite on Friends so maybe I’m biased. I hope this series works better for Perry than the last series, which I tried VERY hard to like but just couldn’t do it. The supporting cast is genuine in a way that brings out a humanity in Perry that he needs… to be able to bounce his acerbic wit off. I genuinely liked it while I was watching and it left me wanting more. A lot more. Happily the next two episodes were just as enjoyable
Not so Animal Practice! The monkey gimmick was cute but not enough to carry the show. It’s like House meets M*A*S*H with a cast of the uninteresting after all the humor had been sucked out of it and replaced with a huge dose of “Awwww….. cute animals!” Gack! I can’t get that off my DVR fast enough!
I watched Men with Kids…. it has potential but its going to have to pick up the situational humor to captivate me. I actually deleted an episode of The Mindy Project 5 minutes into it. I realized I didn’t like her enough to watch her publicly embarrass herself in order the “grow” thru the episode. I’ve watched shows like that before and marvel how the lesson learned in the previous episodes never seems to “take”.
Of course I adored Revolution and have 4 episodes on my DVR as I await a time when Sex God is over and we’re NOT watching The Voice because he wants to see it. Last Resort is a little of the same “type” of show, but I’m not sure its got the “fun” impact that Revolution does. If I had to choose.. well, Revolution hands down. Despite the fact its soooooo much a rip-off of S.M. Stirling’s series Sunrise Lands. Thank God I’ve got a DVR.
You should have seen Sex God’s eyes when I told him the CW had a new series called Arrow which I assumed was based off the Green Arrow series since the guy’s all in green. He whispers, “That’s my favorite comic!” Since he doesn’t have cable & only watches movies & old series off Netflix I think he’ll be coming over to my house more! lmao Of course all I really have to do is tell him what I’m cooking for dinner and he’s all, “I’m coming over!!!”
I liked Vegas. Not sure how long it will last. LOOOVED Made in Jersey! Hated Mod Doctor, that’s a casting/plot flop if I’ve ever watched one. The PBS series Call the Midwife is very, very good and the first show that I watch that seems to connect with me thru my work. We sell to many doulas and having birthed 3 children I’m vastly familiar with all this! lol
And now that the new season has begun my DVR is full of my favorites and the new shows. And since I talked the cable people into letting me upgrade for a cheap price for the next 6 months… I’ve got a lot of my OLD favorites rapidly recording to try and fill it in for when I have to pop it down to cheap basic.
Makes working at home muuuuuuch more enjoyable!
