2017 New Fall Season – Fridays

old-tv-set1Our final look at the new fall season gives us Friday’s amazing slate of shows.

7:00

Blindspot – A 2 year time jump gives the third year show a soft reboot as it moves to the deadzone of Friday nights.

Once Upon A Time – For some unknown reason, the show returns for its 7th season minus 6 cast members.

8:00

Hawaii Five-0 – An eighth season of the show that doesn’t really impress, but doesn’t really disappoint, loses Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park from the main cast.

Jane The Virgin – The telenovela returns for its fourth season with a surprising move to Friday nights.

The Exorcist – FOX’s reboot of the movie franchise was surprisingly entertaining in its first season.  We shall see if they can keep it up for another year.

Marvel’s Inhumans – With the rights to the X-Men tied up by FOX, Marvel has tried to make the Inhumans their new go-to team, both in the comics and now on television.  Early reviews show that this will not be a winning formula.

9:00

Blue Bloods – The first family of the NYPD returns for an eighth season.

Midseason Review – Fridays

old-tv-set1It’s time to wrap up our look back at my thoughts on the new fall season’s slate of Friday shows.

8:00

Hawaii Five-0 – The show is a huge hit overseas for CBS, so it gets relegated to Fridays where it won’t cause much damage here at home.

Maternity leave has kept Grace Park’s Kono separated from the rest of the team for most of the season, but she was recently reunited with the rest of the Five-0 team.

9:00

Blue Bloods – Year 4 of CBS’s dependable, if not spectacular, police procedural.

Honestly, I don’t know if I would bother watching this show if it aired any other night.

Closing out the week with the new shows debuting this winter:

Enlisted – The new comedy features three brothers who wind up in the same platoon in the army.  Early returns have been good.

Helix – Syfy’s latest series features an outbreak in a remote base and the CDC researchers sent to investigate.
