What New Fall TV Shows Are You Planning To Watch?

[RockinDaMike]

Usually I wait for OS to give a a review before I start watching a show. Too many on my plate right now keeping up with Boardwalk Empire, SOA, Alphas and all the sitcoms and talent shows that I watch.

I recorded Ben and Kate but I don't even know if I'll watch it, it doesn't seem like a show I would like.

Oh, I also watched Ben and Kate.

I actually liked it more than Guys with Kids and Animal Practice.

Kinda reminds me of old 80s show concepts where they find a way to pit people together through some odd circumstances.

I watched Elementary tonight and it was...........meh

I'm glad that Hollywood has grabbed hold of the original conception of Holmes being a bit of a drug addict but the way it's done just doesn't speak to me. My vision of Holmes is of a guy who is a bit more calm and doesn't act like a guy who's on speed and is a combination of Columbo and Vincent DiNofrio's character from Law & Order: Criminal Intent. It's a bit offputting and Holmes comes across as a real a-hole.

Still it was solid enough and I will watch the next episode to see if it gets better/they tone down the more abrasive elements to the Holmes portrayal. I thought Lucy Liu was credible in her role as Watson.

Checked out the premiere of 666 Park Avenue last night. Thought it was pretty good, kept our attention throughout. Had a creepy feeling about it.

Agreed. Kept me entertained.

I tuned in thinking it would be noise while I did other things. Instead it caught my full attention.

Have you checked out the BBC version of Sherlock Holmes? Still not your vision of Homles because he seem to have ADD but I thought the series is very entertaining.

Is it also a modern take on the character? I think i've seen clips of it but never watched an episode. I'll check it out if that's what you're talking about.
