\"old-tv-set1\"<\/a>With the advent of winter premieres, the start of the premium cable network shows,\u00a0and with February sweeps around the corner, it\u2019s time to revisit my thoughts from the\u00a0beginning<\/a>\u00a0of the season and look ahead at what\u2019s to come for Sunday nights.<\/p>\n

7:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once Upon A Time<\/em> – The fairy tale show is back for season 6, with a refocusing on life in Storybrooke.\u00a0 With little else in competition, I see no reason not to continue turning in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing really to say about the show. \u00a0I’m still watching, but not really enthused.<\/p>\n

8:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shameless<\/em>\u00a0– Season 7 of the show finds Fiona running the diner and on her own as the fallout from last season’s finale.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The season wrapped up in December with things starting to look up for most members of the Gallagher clan. \u00a0Which can only mean that season 8 will tear them all down again.<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/em> – After a disappointing season finale where producers failed to deliver on the long-promised plot point of who would be killed by the new character Negan, the show has some work to do to regain the trust of the audience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To be honest, the big reveal of who Negan killed at the end of last season was so anti-climatic, that I kind of loss interest in the whole thing. \u00a0I have 6 episodes sitting on the DVR waiting to be watched. \u00a0I can’t say right now if I ever will.<\/p>\n

9:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quantico <\/em>– After a strong first season that started to fizzle towards the end, the show gets rebooted somewhat with the CIA replacing the FBI and a promised reduction in the soapy elements that plagued season 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I must admit, a bit of the magic from season 1 has been lost. \u00a0I let a number of episodes pile up and, when I did binge through them, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy them. \u00a0But watching week to week leaves a little to be desired. \u00a0The show is moving to Mondays starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Elementary<\/em> – Sherlock and Watson return for their 5th season of crime solving alongside the NYPD.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing too exceptional here. \u00a0The show is enjoyable, but not extraordinary.<\/p>\n

The Affair<\/em> – A time jump ahead to a new mystery lies ahead in the 3rd season. \u00a0Not sure if I like the sound of that, but what are you going to do?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure if I like this show. \u00a0I’m not sure if I ever liked this show.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s where we stand with the shows I planned to watch in the fall. Let\u2019s take a look at new shows starting this spring:<\/p>\n

Homeland<\/em> – After more than a year away, the show returns for its sixth season, with the action seemingly taking place back in the USA.<\/p>\n

Victoria<\/em> – After leaving Doctor Who<\/em>, Jenna Coleman jumped in to this period piece on the early days of Queen Victoria’s reign.<\/p>\n

Billions<\/em> – Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis return in February for the second season of cat and mouse play between the US government and a hedge fund billionaire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
