2016 New Fall Season – Wednesdays

old-tv-set1We have reached the half way point of our look at the offerings for the new fall season.  Here’s what Wednesdays have on tap for the fall.

7:00

Arrow – Season 5 finds Oliver Queen trying to save the city, both as the Arrow and as mayor.  This also promises to be the last season of flashbacks, making me look forward to season 6.

Lethal Weapon – FOX reboots the movie series with Damon Wayans.  Might be worth a look, at least.

8:00

Modern Family – The comedy, entering its eighth season, is really starting to show its age.  It’s still fun, but the plots are starting to get a little out there.

Criminal Minds – The show returns for its twelfth season minus original stars Shemar Moore, who left last spring, and Thomas Gibson, who was fired for attacking a writer in the early going of this season.  To fill the void, Aisha Tyler has been bumped up to a regular cast member and Paget Brewster returns as Emily Prentiss.

Frequency – The CW reboots the movie, replacing Dennis Quaid with the fetching Peyton List.

8:30

Black-ish – After a strong second season, the show returns looking to improve yet again.

9:00

2012 New Fall Season – Wednesdays

It’s Hump Day.  Time to take a look at the midweek offerings for the new fall season.

7:00

Animal Practice – When the best thing about your pilot episode is the monkey that played Annie’s Boobs on Community, that’s a good sign that your show is in trouble.  When you keep cutting to the monkey because you know it’s the best thing about your pilot, that’s just sad.  There is some promise here with Justin Kirk and JoAnna Garcia, but I don’t plan to stick around in the off chance they find it.

Arrow – The CW tries to give the Smallville treatment to Green Arrow.  I’m willing to give it a shot and hope for the best.

7:30

Guys With Kids – Having watched the first episode, which premiered last week, I can only say that this feels like a comedy that could have been on 20 years ago.  And that is not a compliment.

The Neighbors – I only saw a brief clip of this show, but it was enough to tell me that I am not the target audience for this show.  I’m not even sure who that target audience may be.

8:00

Criminal Minds – Jeanne Tripplehorn joins the team for season 8, replacing the departing Paget Brewster.

Modern Family – The family is expanding, as last season ended with Gloria revealing she is pregnant.  This continues to be a consistently funny show.

2011 New Fall Season – Wednesdays

CBS

Criminal Minds – Last season saw A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster written out of the show and replaced by Rachel Nichols.  Someone must have realized it was a mistake, as this season Rachel Nichols has been replaced by A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster.  As it enters its seventh season, it may not be the best move to return back to the old status quo.

NBC

Up All Night – Two espisodes in and it has been decent so far, with the appeal of Christina Applegate cancelling out the annoyances of Will Arnett.  The scenes at home with the baby have far surpassed those at work to this point.

Free Agents – This has not been very good so far, despite featuring the return of Anthony Stewart Head to American television sets.  I give it until January, if that long.
