Continuing our look back at my thoughts on the new fall season with the offerings I found myself interested in for Tuesdays.
7:00
The Muppets – ABC brings a new version of the Muppets to television, this time as a work place comedy. Basically, The Office but with Kermit.
Possibly the new show I was looking forward to the most, but it suffered from tone issues. A new showrunner is taking over, so hopefully things will more resemble the Muppets everyone knows and loves.
The Flash – A surprisingly fun adaptation of the DC superhero. The first season was very satisfying and I hope for more of the same.
Still a lot of fun, though the Flash’s secret identity is one of the worst kept secrets in Central City.
8:00
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Another new status quo, following the end of last season and the events of the latest Avengers movie, as we head in to season 3.
More of the same from the fine folks at Mutant Enemy and Marvel.
Scream Queens – Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis team for this horror comedy, hopefully in the vein of the Scream films, from FOX. I’m certainly willing to give it a shot to impress.
I lasted a few weeks, but once the show came back after the World Series, the schedule got busy and I had to drop it.
iZombie – The zombie comedy, which was a midseason surprise last spring, returns for a full season. I have a lot of faith in EP Rob Thomas, so I’m looking for good things.
A surprisingly enjoyable procedural from the people who brought us Veronica Mars.
9:00
Limitless – Picking up from the Bradley Cooper film of the same name, the show asks the question of what you would do if you took a pill that opened up every corner of the human brain. The movie was good enough, so I’ll give this a shot.
A decent, if unspectacular, way to spend an hour.
Now let’s look at what’s new on Tuesdays this spring:
New Girl – The FOX comedy returned earlier this month, with star Zooey Deschanel about to go out on maternity leave, to be replaced by, of all people, Megan Fox.
Marvel’s Agent Carter – Hayley Atwell returns as the best agent in the post-WWII SSR. This time, she is sent to Los Angeles to solve the mystery of a strange new power source.
Pretty Little Liars – A has been exposed and the girls are all grown up, but a new dead body brings suspicion back upon them.
