    The Hollywood Reporter

    This should probably get more people to pay attention to Homeland. I think it was one of the best new shows of last year. It's won numerous awards since it's debut, including the Golden Globe for Best Drama and WGA for Best New Series, now it's won 4 major Emmys (Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Drama and Writing). This also marks the first time a Showtime series ever won for Best Series.

    @DAR and @Chuck_Melville, are you guys going to add Young Justice and Green Lantern (if you watch them) to your docket/schedule on Saturday? What about Arrow, when it premieres in about 2 weeks?

    What about Nickelodeon's Ninja Turtles? Anyone else checking out the pilot on Saturday?

    I only get basic cable which doesn't include Cartoon Network, so, no, neither YJ nor GL on my viewing schedule. Besides, I caught most of Young Justice's first season on streaming, and I wasn't really impressed; the show felt kind of flat to me, not really living up to the gee-whiz factor of shows like Justice League or The Animated Batman.

    I do intend to watch Arrow, which may make for some changes in my schedule.

    That's too bad about Young Justice. For me, and a lot of other fans, it's actually surpassed the quality of the DCAU shows. Especially in the writing and characterizations. Even more so in terms of animation.

    I think Bruce Timm Paul Dini had a really good handle on the DC Universe, but I feel Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti have an even greater understanding of it. Even more so than a lot of comic book writers.

    Anyway, I'd be interested to know just a few things you didn't like about the show and even some things you did like.

    I think this is actually a show for people who couldn't get into Smallville, for whatever reason.

    I'm glad Homeland won. That show is awesome.
  • Well, since we are comparing viewing schedules:

    (Note - not including 10 p.m. shows unless I plan to watch them On Demand, because I work midnights and am getting ready/leaving for work from about 10:15 p.m. on!)

    Sunday -
    The Amazing Race

    Monday -
    Bones
    American Chopper (I've stuck with it this long!)

    Tuesday -
    NCIS
    NCIS L.A.
    Vegas (if it is available On Demand. Too much talent not to give it a try.)

    Wednesday -
    Survivor (... but I'm kinda getting burned out on it, and so far I'm barely paying attention.)

    Thursday -
    Person of Interest

    Friday -
    Grimm

    Saturday -
    Wait... is there actually TV on Saturdays?

    --

    Of course, all of this will be pre-empted by Pistons games once the NBA season starts.

    I forgot about Walking Dead. But since I have Dish network that means I don't get AMC. So I will have to find some other way to see it.
  • DoctorDoomDoctorDoom Posts: 2,586
    Thank goodness for DVR and On-Demand.

    Sunday - Once Upon a Time, Amazing Race (maybe), Revenge, Walking Dead, 666 Park Avenue, Dexter, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire.

    Monday - The Mob Doctor (probably getting cancelled), Castle

    Tuesday - Catch-up night!

    Wednesday - Survivor, Modern Family, The Challenge

    Thursday - Catch-up night!

    Friday - CSI: NY, Kitchen Nightmares


    I may give Revolutions another shot.

    I avoid all 'reality shows' like the plague.

    I can't agree with you more!
  • Season/series premiere ratings.

    Monday, September 24th.

    How I Met Your Mother - 8.66 million viewers, 3.4/10 A18-49

    Dancing with the Stars: All Stars - 14.58 million viewers, 2.7/7 A18-49

    Partners - 6.50 million viewers, 2.4/6 A18-49

    2 Broke Girls - 10.02 million viewers, 3.7/9 A18-49

    Mike & Molly - 9.31 million viewers, 3.0/7 A18-49

    Castle - 11.38 million viewers, 2.5 A18-49

    Hawaii Five-0 - 7.97 million viewers, 1.9/4 A18-49

    Non-premiere

    The Voice - 13.36 million viewers, 4.6/12 A18-49

    The Mob Doctor - 3.96 million viewers, 1.3/3 A18-49

    Revolution - 9.29 million viewers, 3.5/9 A18-49

    Bones - 7.34 million viewers, 2.2/6 A18-49

    While Revolution was down from it's premiere (11.65 million viewers, 4.1/11 A18-49), it still bested Castle and Hawaii Five-0 to win it's hour. It was also the third highest rated show of the night.

    The Mob Doctor, on the other hand, isn't doing so great. I wouldn't be surprised if Fox made a cancellation announcement later this week. I actually saw the pilot and thought it was an okay show. If it stayed on the air, I probably would continue watching.
  • Ron Moore Adapting A Knight's Tale for the Small Screen

    I never saw the movie, but this might be worth a look, considering what Moore did with BSG.

    Partners was awful. The clapping made me want to brake peoples hands. I wouldn't be shocked if it gets canned by ep 3.

    The Walking Dead gets a season 4. http://www.amctv.com/sweeps/amcgiveblood/

    This has to be the 8th project he's tried to get on the air since BSG ended. I wish him luck.

    So.... Mob Doctor's going to get cancelled, isn't it?
  • I'd say so. Last nights ep was even weaker than the first one. It feels like they are trying way to hard to redo HOUSE.

    Yep. And I hate House.
