Post Mortem – The Blacklist

The tenth and final season of The Blacklist aired last spring and summer, wrapping up in July on NBC.  The original storyline, revolving around FBI agent Elizabeth Keen and her mysterious relationship to criminal mastermind Red Reddington, wrapped up after season eight when Megan Boone, who played Keen, left the show.  A revamped plot, with many new characters, was implemented for the final two seasons.  The main mystery behind the show, what is the relationship between Keen and Reddington, was never definitely answered.

2021 New Fall Season – Thursdays

old-tv-set1Thursday night was traditionally the busiest night of the week for my television viewing habits, but has fallen off over the past couple of years.  This year is no exception.  Here’s what’s on the slate for this season.

7:30

The Blacklist – The show continues on for a ninth season 9 without Megan Boone’s Elizabeth Keene for some reason.

8:00

Ghosts – Rose McIver stars in this adaptation of a BBC show about a couple who think they are getting a beautiful country house but instead find it is falling apart and haunted.

Grey’s Anatomy – Old friends are supposed to return for the medical drama’s 18th season, with Kate Walsh and Abigail Spencer announced to show up.

9:00

Big Sky – I still haven’t watched the second story of season one, so season two may need to wait.

Midseason Review – Fridays

old-tv-set1With the advent of winter premieres, the start of the premium cable network shows, and with February sweeps around the corner, it’s time to revisit my thoughts from the beginning of the season and look ahead at what’s to come for Sunday nights.

7:00

Blindspot – The show returns for a shocking fourth season.

I have yet to watch any of this season, so I can’t really comment on it.

8:00

Hawaii Five-0 – The ninth season of the show corresponds with the 50th anniversary of the original.

After 9 years, I’m not sure there’s anything new I can say about the show at this point.

9:00

Blue Bloods – A change in family dynamics looks to shake things up for the first family of the NYPD as they return for their ninth season.

The changes between Jamie and Eddie, both in the work place and in their personal lives, has given a little new breath to the show.  Not much, but a little.

Now, for new entries that will be hitting the screen this winter:

The Blacklist – James Spader and Megan Boone return for the sixth season.

2014 New Fall Season – Mondays

old-tv-set1Day 2 of our look at the new fall television season brings us to Mondays.

7:00

The Big Bang Theory – CBS spent $275 million to broadcast 8 Thursday night NFL games, so The Big Bang Theory moves back to Mondays until late October.  The show continues to be a ratings powerhouse, so hopefully the move doesn’t shake things up too much.

2 Broke Girls – Once The Big Bang Theory returns to its Thursday perch, 2 Broke Girls will return to the Monday slot it inherited last spring from How I Met Your Mother.  At this point, the show is what it is, so there is no point on hoping that the writers move away from their lowest common denominator form of comedy.  As long as Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings continue to charm, I will continue to watch.  But their charms only go so far.

Gotham – FOX gets in the superhero game with this Batman prequel, set in the days just after a young Bruce Wayne has witnessed the death of his parents.  The show has been sold as more of the Gotham police force dealing with the criminals that will one day become Batman’s fiercest foes.

8:00

Sleepy Hollow – I am going to be completely honest and say I don’t really remember much about the first season of this show, other than it was a little crazy and it didn’t exactly grab me as much as it seemigly did everyone else.  I guess I’ll stick around until/unless I find something to take its place.

Jane The Virgin – The first CW pilot in years to not feature either vampires or superheroes is an adaptation of a Venezuelen telenovela.  Early reports are that it is one of the better pilots of the fall, so I guess I can give it a shot.
