2016 New Fall Season – Mondays

old-tv-set1It is time once again to dive in to the new fall lineups for the television season that kicks into gear tonight. We start this year, thanks to last night’s Emmy Awards, with Monday night’s offerings, which features some returning favorites and a few new potentials.

7:00

The Big Bang Theory – Once again, The Big Bang Theory moves back to Mondays until late October to accommodate the NFL.  The show continues to be a ratings powerhouse, so I assume the move won’t shake things up too much.

Supergirl – Despite a successful first season, CBS jettisoned the show and now the second season will air on The CW.

Gotham – I still have the last 9 episodes of season 2 sitting on the DVR, so things don’t look that great for my continued interest in Gotham this year.  But, you never know.

Man With A Plan – Matt LeBlanc returns to network television in this comedy about a contractor who takes more responsibility at home after his wife returns to work.  It should be worth at least a shot.

8:00

Jane The Virgin – At this time last year, I was worried that this show would be a one-season wonder and that I would tire of the telenovela aspect of the show.  Those worries turned out to be unfounded, as the show continued to be a solid, entertaining watch.  I’m expecting more of the same this year.

2 Broke Girls – A 6th season for this crass show that has never been as good as it should be, given the talents of the leads.

9:00

Timeless – A trio of time travelers try to stop a villain from rewriting history.  Sounds ridiculous, but I may give it a shot.

Conviction – Hayley Atwell returns to ABC as a former First Daughter who now leads a team investigating wrongful incarcerations.  Hopefully, Atwell’s charms overcome what seems like a shoddy premise.
