Which new shows are you excited for this season?

[Cajuncowboy]

Like others, I had been disappointed by the shows I like getting cancelled. Terra Nova, The Event and Alcatraz all got shut down and one that lasted a bit longer, Chuck, got canned as well.

This season I will only focus on two of the new shows, Revolution and Last Resort. Other than that, not much grabs my interest.

Seems we have similar tastes in TV, liked every show you listed + Revolution and Last Resort are my target shows this season. Chuck had a good run though and the 5th season really fell off. The first 4 were great and the first 2 were A+ tv.


HBO and AMC have really picked up TV for me. The Newsroom, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Just between these two networks and I follow them all. BBC America with Copper game through with some gold too.

 

[Rackat]

I am looking forward to Revolution. Vegas also looks like it will be interesting.

[burmafrd]

IF you don't mind buying into the really stupid technological premise of Revolution then have fun.

Just saw a small bit of an advert for it.

What are they claiming that some huge EMP happened or something?

Something like that...the premiere didn't reveal what it was that was the cause but did reveal that at least some knew it was about to happen before it did...

 

[burmafrd]

Supposedly something happens and all electronic equipment and electrical items stop working.

The show starts out years after this has all happened.

Man is so dumb that we cannot return to the 19th century and steam and gas lights and such.

That is why I put thumbs down on this show. It has a stupid premise.

I have higher standards for fiction then this show is capable of producing.

Also all the weapons they show are archaic, meaning bows and swords. Guns would still work, they don't require electricity.

Yep, guns definitely still work...

I loved the 1st show. Really looking forward to seeing more.

Revolution, NBC


Premieres Monday, Sept. 17 at 10 p.m. What it's about: What if all the electricity around the world stopped working? That's the premise of this ambitious new series from über producer J.J. Abrams and Supernatural's Eric Kripke. The series opens with the world blinking out into darkness and then skips 15 years into the future as a young woman named Charlie (Being Human's Tracy Spiradakos) tries to save her brother with the help of an uncle (Twilight's Billy Burke) she hasn't seen since she was a child from the militia that has kidnapped him. Along her journey to save her brother, she finds herself hunting for answers as to why the electricity went out, what her own connection is to the event, and whether the electric can ever be turned back on again. Beyond that, there's a revolution at foot against the militias that run the country and she's right in the thick of it all. The series also stars Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost, V), David Lyons (The Cape), and Giancarlo Esposito (Once Upon a Time).

What creator Eric Kripke says about Revolution: "Supernatural is in so many ways a procedural. It's sort of like a procedural from Mars. And I was just really interested in my next turn at that, just diving into a show that doesn't even have those procedural elements and you can just tell the pure saga of it. I needed to delve neck-deep into the Joseph Campbell hero's journey."

Our take: We're really rooting for Revolution. It's pure sci-fi and how many true science fiction shows with this kind of scope are there on TV right now? A couple, maybe. Add into the mix Abrams and Kripke, who both know how to build a TV show, throw in a fantastic pilot, a good cast, a cute girl with a bow and arrow a la The Hunger Games, and there's some real potential here. While we're more than a little worried about Revolution being stuck in NBC's deathly Monday at 10 p.m. timeslot, and about the poor track record of these kind of world bending shows (The Event, Terra Nova), we're hopeful the series will live up to it's potential and that audiences will embrace it.

gushing from so called critics who are about as smart as a box of rocks. Lame setting and not believeable; but then they are hollywood too so that probably does not even occur to them

I agree,this will probably get cancelled quickly.

 

[Rynie]

Just the return of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

 

[kristie]

the return of the voice and the x-factor. i don't watch much of anything these days except maybe bar rescue on spike TV.

 

[iceberg]

I am looking forward to Revolution on NBC and Last Resort on ABC, also Arrow on The CW is intriguing. The CW has much worse production standards so it can go either way.

Last Resort sounds like the type of show that people here would love - the plot

i just watched the pilot for revolution and you're worried about production standards?

i feel like i'm watching battle beneath the planet of the apes, wondering how come everyone has such a high and tight hair cut and 15 years later we still have fat geeks.

 

[Future]

Last year I didn't expect much from Person of Interest or Grimm and both did well. TV predictions are hard to make prior to the show debuting. Terra Nova looked like it would be a major hit and its gone.

Actually people knew pretty early on that Terra Nova wouldn't last long because the production budget was ridiculously high.

Definitely season 3 of The Walking Dead

Agreed.

And I'm excited for sons of anarchy season 5. It's a pretty corny show, but the plot is pretty intense.

AND, haha, the new seasons of It's Always Sunny and The League come out in October, Thursday night from 10-11 on FX is the best hour of TV there is.
