Watch me dammit!”<br />
<br />
When I say there are a lot of offerings this season, I kid you not!!
Hard to believe that 4 years ago, Genre shows were slim pickings at best, and maybe, just maybe, a few were worth getting excited about (like the <i>Walking Dead</i>, <i>Dr. Who</i>, <i>American Horror Story</i>, <i>Grimm</i>, and <i>Once Upon a Time</i>). The success of these shows, along with Spring offerings the following year, like <i>Game of Thrones</i>, seem to have awoken more than just the major networks realization of the infinite potential for the fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres. They are embracing it!<br />
<br />
Having perused the trailers, there are some exciting and cooltastic shows which are going to ignite our TV, computer, and hand-held device screens with boundless wonder, macabre, intense drama, and imaginatively crafted visual storytelling over the next few months!!<br />
<br />
So without further ado...<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>SUNDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>Once Upon a Time</u>/Season 5/ABC/Premieres September 27th<br />
A diamond in the rough show for me. The creative forces behind it spin golden threads on twisting classic fairy tales, both in fantasyland and throwing them into the modern world, as finely as Rumpelstiltskin<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span></span>himself...<br />

<u><br /></u>
<u>The Simpsons</u>/Season 27/Fox/Premieres September 27th<br />
If i’m not mistaken, this is longest running scripted show in history. They still got it! Very happy we have another Treehouse of Horror episode this Halloween!<br />
<i>Honorable Mention: Check out Bob’s Burgers too! There was no video promo for this season, but that show is beyond hilarious!</i><br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fd4icOrzUJM" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Fear the Walking Dead</u>/Season 1/AMC/Premiered August 23rd<br />
This spin-off series chronicles societies collapse as the zombies outbreak occurs. Creatively a bold endeavor. Well worth watching!!<br />
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<u>The Walking Dead</u>/Season 5/AMC/Premieres October 11th<br />
Last season Rick said “We are the Walking Dead.” The intensity of this show is not the zombies and gore, but the emotion and brutality of the human condition. This trailer shows that sanctuary is not necessarily safety...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Va1UPrFXHKA" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Into the Badlands</u>/Season 1/AMC/Premieres November 14<br />
This show looks so badass...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XH40EowbTz8" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>The Leftovers</u>/Season 2/HBO/Premieres October 4th<br />
2% of the population disappears, what are you going to do? This season continues this brilliant concept of a show...<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e9RlsD8lIO0" width="400"></iframe><br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>The Affair</u>/Season 2/Showtime/Premieres October 4th<br />
A murder mystery told from the different perspectives of each participant having an affair. The perspectives don’t necessarily match. Masterful storytelling...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mxC0wZIhZak" width="400"></iframe></span><br />

<u><b>MONDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>Castle</u>/Season 8/ABC/Premieres September 21st<br />
“Hey Cas,” you are most certainly asking, "why you featuring this show? It ain’t no Genre show.”<br />
Good question random strangers. I am not a huge fan of this show, episodes tend to be more procedural than murder mystery for my tastes. However, it stars Nathan Fillon, and I’m a huge fan. In an ideal world, we would be on season 14 of <i>Firefly</i>...<br />

<u><br /></u>
<u>Scorpion</u>/Season 2/CBS/Premieres September 21st<br />
Missed season 1 of this one. Looks like CBS’ version of Marvel’s Agents of Shield. Will be giving it a look-see. Looks entertaining...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xkRCZLdL7-o" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Supergirl</u>/Season 1/CBS/Premieres October 26th<br />
Wha? CBS has a super hero show?! The procedural crime drama network doing a super hero show?! We all must be in the Bizzaro universe..<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mh8MYFadTmQ" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Blindspot</u>/Season 1/NBC/Premieres September 21st<br />
Reminds this geek of the <i>Fifth Element</i> in tone and style. That was a righteous movie! Gonna check this one out...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/De4iYuqbjfQ" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Gotham</u>/Season 2/Fox/Premieres September 21st<br />
Conceptually a brilliant show. Gotham before Batman. Gordon before he became commissioner. Super villains without a super hero to keep them in check. Stoked we get a 2nd season...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tb9bfiGJQzo" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Minority Report</u>/Season 1/Fox/Premieres September 21st<br />
As a fan of the movie, I have high hopes for this one, and…um…for Fox’s demonstrated history of killing good Genre shows before they get their footing is a thing of the past...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_fLl-DMzxrk" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>X-Files</u>/Season 10/Fox/Premiers January 24th/Airs Monday January 25th<br />
There are 2 show reboots that are giving me a full-fledged geekgasm. This is one of them...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CFJnWwh12j0" width="400"></iframe></span><br />

<br />
<u>Fargo</u>/Season 2/FX/Premieres October 12th<br />
If you’ve seen the movie and/or watched season 1, I know your gonna be watching on Oct. 12th. If you haven’t, watch the movie and/or season 1. After you do, you'll be there for the season premiere. Trust me, you won’t have a choice. It is that good...<br />

<u><br /></u>
<u>The Expanse</u>/Season 1/SyFy/Premieres December 14th<br />
SyFy has this history of producing either complete crap or some of the most phenomenal shows on TV (<i>Farscape</i>, <i>Battlestar Galactica</i>). This one promises to be the later...<br />

<u><b>TUESDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>The Muppets</u>/Season 1/ABC/Premieres September 22nd<br />
~~Insert bald, bearded geek guy flailing arms wildly above his head while running back and forth along the length of his house shouting: “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!”~~<br />

<br />
<u>Marvel’s Agents of Shield</u>/Season 3/ABC/Premieres September 29th<br />
The Inhuman storyline had me geeking out, especially the later half of last season. Aching to see where they take this season...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0-K8gjhG4K8" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Marvel’s Agent Carter</u>/Season 2/ABC/Premiere unannounced<br />
When you take the period piece element, underlying parallel of the Captain America radio show, the views of our late 1940’s culture, embed it in the Marvel Universe, you get one amazing show. Cannot wait for season 2...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N-Zl75MzJd8" width="400"></iframe></span><br />

<u>Limitless</u>/Season 1/CBS/Premieres September 22nd<br />
"You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.” -Morpheus, <i>The Matrix</i>...<br />

<br />
<u>Flash</u>/Season 2/CW/Premieres October 3rd<br />
I must admit I missed season 1. After seeing this trailer, realized the show is different than my initial impression. Will be caught up by the 3rd...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q3tnEM9K4TU" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>From Dust Till Dawn</u>/Season 2/El Rey/Premiered August 25th<br />
Whoa! This is a series. The movie was kickass! Going to be checking this one out for sure!!<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LZCvfH8WwF0" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>The Bastard Executioner</u>/Season 1/FX/Premieres September 15th<br />
I like my fantasy stories gritty, brutal, and realistic. This one seems it will not disappoint...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IN_S0VfWlFU" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Manhattan</u>/Season 2/WGN/Premieres October 13th<br />
I totally did not know this one existed. A period drama about the building of the Atomic Bomb. Good thing the cable nets like us to catch up. Which we will. Which we will...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UGz8vFHzzFQ" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>WEDNESDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>Arrow</u>/Season 4/CW/Premieres October 7th<br />
Neal McDonough taking up the role of the villain Damien Darhk has got this geek excited! Neal’s role as Robert Quarles in <i>Justified</i> was phenomenal! It will be a great season!!<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9EGda9EbZgc" width="400"></iframe></span><br />

<u>Supernatural</u>/Season 11/CW/Premieres October 11<br />
Good to see the Winchester boys are still mucking up the underworld...<br />

<br />
<u>American Horror Story</u>/Season 5/FX/Premieres October 7th<br />
After last season’s masterpiece, you can count on us being busy on October 7th...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mDIPUm2o2wI" width="400"></iframe></span><br />

<br />
<u><b>THURSDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>Heroes: Reborn</u>/Season 5/NBC/Premieres September 24th<br />
I had a full-on geekgasm when I learned they were bringing Heroes back. Straight up, Heroes’ initial run was not without it’s problems. There is no denying the bookend seasons (1st & 4th) were masterful in their storytelling. The reboot has got me quaking with excitement. Quaking!! The September 24th premiere is so close, yet so far away<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4FLHB2zB_cA" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Sleepy Hollow</u>/Season 3/Fox/Premieres October 1st<br />
Having a hard time grasping that Fox hasn’t released a promo for this season. Oh wait! It’s Fox :/<br />
(video pending)<br />
<br />
<u>The Vampire Diaries</u>/Season 7/CW/Premieres October 8th<br />
In past seasons this show would layer different interconnecting storylines which merged into a climatic mid-season and season finalies. Hoping they keep it up this season...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SrFIkOWvK1E" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>The Originals</u>/Season 3/CW/Premieres October 8th<br />
Might finally be checking this show out this season. Looks more intense and much darker than <i>Vampire Diaries</i>...<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_VD72UAbwBI" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>FRIDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>Grimm</u>/Season 5/NBC/Premieres October 30th<br />
Another show I have lost track of over the last couple of years. Though I have many a friend (real and substantial, not imaginary…sheesh) whose opinions I trust calling me out for losing track of this one. Looks like some stuff went down over the last 2 years. Certainly won't be wasting any time catching up...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EetlICWa2D0" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Reign</u>/Season 3/CW/Premieres October 11th<br />
I do not watch this show. However, it does have merit to mention here. It is one of the rare shows that is an historical period piece, more akin to the <i>Tutors</i> than <i>Game of Thrones</i>. I like storylines to be layered and full of intrigue, and this show has real history to draw from to pull that off!!<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DMct1bFX4-s" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Continuum</u>/Season 4/SyFy/Premieres September 11th<br />
If you like time travel stories, and the consequences, or personal benefits (as in case of some of the characters), this show is well worth a look-see. Sad to hear it is on it’s final season, really enjoying the ride...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eSeCt8Rzg4w" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Z Nation</u>/Season 2/SyFy/Premieres September 11th<br />
This season features Washington State’s beautiful Palouse region for a backdrop in a gore-ridden, post-apocolyptic world...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WwVS4LBgRTw" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>SATURDAYS</b></u><br />
<u>Dr. Who</u>/Season 9/BBCA/Premieres September 19th<br />
I am a huge fan of this extraordinary show. “I want to kiss it to death.” Especially after that last scene in the trailer...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fi3nJBlJs48" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>The Last Kingdom</u>/Season 1/BBCA/Premieres October 10th<br />
A historical period piece with the brutality and political intrigue of <i>Game of Thrones</i>. Count me in!<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/og5_7KpFtrI" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Da Vinci’s Demon’s</u>/Season 3/STARZ/Premieres October 24th<br />
I have not seen this one...yet. We just got STARZ. Hoping there will be some catch up weekends. If not, I’ll be watching this season anyway. It is rare for me to do that, very obsessive/compulsive about starting shows from the beginning. But that trailer hooked me, & good...<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LV5B0BLaII8" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<u>Ash vs Evil Dead</u>/Season 1/STARZ/Premieres October 31st<br />
Groovy!<br />
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/unnLg1TPCYM" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>UNANNOUNCED</u></b><br />
<u>The Returned</u>/Season 2/Sundance/Premiere unannounced<br />
The Sundance Channel gives this French take of the undead a second life...<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_ugNtl70J4w" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
Yep, that about wraps up fall 2015 Genre premieres. Happy to see the Major Nets creating more shows outside their typical safety zone of the procedural dramas and sitcoms.<br />
<br />
As always, if you notice I overlooked or missed something (which is very likely, there was a lot of crap to sort through), post it in the comments. I'd really like to see it!<br />
<br />
Looking ahead, the Winter/Spring 2016 offerings so far are promising to have as many (if not more) new and returning Genre shows heading our way. Some of them look outright mind-blowing!! Can’t wait to get my hands on that line up, and geek out on the trailers!!<br />
<br />
As I bid y’all a fond farewell, leaving ya one more trailer for all you Trek Next Gen & X-Men fans out there. A series call <i>Blunt Talk</i> staring Patrick Stewart in a very non-traditional role. hehe...<br />

DVR Aim. DVR...huh?...um...well, just take it easy this seasonIn a world where genre movies make up the clear majority of the top 100 highest grossing movies, the video game industry is a multi-billion dollar business, & modern pop culture is saturated w/ genre references, it boggles my mind why the networks can't seem to capitalize on this. Sure, a few like HBO & AMC seem to have figured it out. However, the 2011-12 fall premieres have the feel that the powers behind the major networks have gone all genre shy...yet again. <br />
<br />
With that said, this year's genre TV highlights are looking like I can fit it all in one entry. With the majority of the shows represented being returning shows...seriously, there is not much new genre programming coming out this year at all. This makes me sad. Can't help but wonder how many great concepts were passed upon 'cuz some network programmer was too short sighted to see, much less realize, a valuable & entertaining potential.<br />
<br />
Whining aside, here's the 2011-12 genre previews:<br />
<br />
<u><b>Sundays</b></u><br />
<u>The Walking Dead</u>, AMC, Premieres 10/16<br />
A show that will eat away at your brain, literally.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bzXlybxsqj8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Hell On Wheels</u>, AMC, Premieres 11/6<br />
Intense period drama set during the construction of the railroads. It's AMC, so checking it out.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/78zEDBmHwbU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Boardwalk Empire</u>, HBO, Premieres 9/25<br />
Probably won't have HBO, but if I can swing it, I'll be watching this one for sure.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/g_C_c7oZacA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Dexter</u>, Showtime, Premieres 10/2<br />
One of two shows that leaves me sorely tempted to subscribe to Showtime.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RsvGslI_KcM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Homeland</u>, Showtime, Premieres 10/2<br />
If the series delivers what the trailer promises, then this will be a show worth watching.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xqddY2sOk6U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Once Upon A Time</u>, ABC, Premieres 10/23<br />
It is from ABC, so I have trepidations. Conceptually a brilliant fantasy though.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BmWaOnpM_Ro" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><u>Mondays</u></b><br />
<u>Hawaii 5-0</u>, CBS, Premieres 9/19<br />
Lame ass trailer...sorry...but this show has exceeded expectations before. Also, they continue to get my vote as to the best casted show. <br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/glsVe0QTAGY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Terra Nova</u>, Fox, Premieres 9/26<br />
Wait, I think I've seen this before. BBC's Outcasts? Jurassic Park? Earth 2? Land of the Lost?<br />
Not selling it, 'cuz I ain't sold. Will check out the premiere and go from there.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p6o-Fzg4d0Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><u>Tuesdays</u></b><br />
<u>Ringer</u>, CW, Premieres 9/13<br />
Buffy returns to TV! That alone is worth checking out the premiere. <br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gz-6saJai5c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Sons of Anarchy</u>, FX, Premieres 9/6<br />
Movie length premiere looks badass.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VRM8LQ66MQ0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><u>Wednesdays</u></b><br />
<u>Whitechapel</u>, BBCA, Premieres 10/26<br />
The only Wednesday show that has caught my attention. Otherwise it looks like the other nets have kept their schedule clear for Simon Cowell's new thing on Fox.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cBSkE6M8Vso" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><u>Thursdays</u></b><br />
<u>The Vampire Diaries</u>, CW, Premieres 9/15<br />
The writers behind this show have a superpower. Their ability is to weave 3 or more story lines throughout the season. I like it, 'cuz you know as the various plot lines develop, they are eventually going to overlap, & not in a way that is good for the Elena & the Salvatores.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S4U7C6uFPkk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>The Secret Circle</u>, CW, Premieres 9/15<br />
From the producers of The Vampire Diaries, only w/ witches. Hesitant, but will give it a few episodes to see if they can reproduce the magic spell they cast w/ The Vampire Diaries.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y1BFblz169U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Charlie's Angels</u>ABC, Premieres 9/22<br />
Looks like ABC is trying to do what CBS did with Hawii Five-0.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/J2P_jP76qqI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><u>Fridays</u></b><br />
<u>Nikita</u>, CW, Premieres 9/23<br />
Best Nikita incarnation to date. Last season this show did not disappoint, this season looks no different.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/adrEcgJGB4o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Supernatural</u>, CW, Premieres 9/23<br />
Last season the new show runners kicked Supernatural up a notch. With Castiel's god-complex, this season is promising more of the same.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nJg2qbSJHhg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Fringe</u>, Fox, Premieres 9/23<br />
Considering Fox has a history of moving shows to Fridays to run off episodes before canceling them, my jaw dropped when I heard about Fringe's renewal. It is one of my favorite shows, so happy to get at least one more season. <br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ONrnpIduuHE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Chuck</u>, NBC, Premieres 10/21<br />
Final season :(<br />
<iframe id="NBC Video Widget" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.nbc.com/assets/video/widget/widget.html?vid=1327641" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Grimm</u>, NBC, Premieres 10/21<br />
Will have to wait until Fringe &/or Supernatural are in reruns to check this one out. Keeping fingers crossed NBC encores it on Saturday or on Sy-Fy.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/weszZ1zrTX4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<u>Sanctuary</u>, Sy-Fy, Premieres 10/6<br />
A guilty pleasure of a show, but the good episodes make for great TV.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8fcu-lzLOW8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
<b><u>Saturdays</u></b><br />
<u>Bedlam</u>, BBCA, Premieres 10/1<br />
Show set to follow Dr. Who's current season. Looks interesting, worth checking out.<br />
<iframe width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6pK2ya-Ht1c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />

Happy Watching!Casual Breweryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17735513839726118810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158330000762552773.post-87559594302370832652011-08-27T22:32:00.000-07:002011-08-27T22:32:53.045-07:00Headphones Recommended: The UnrepresentedThis is the 12th installment of Headphones Recommended. It is also the final installment of Volume 2 (maxed out my 1GB limit for the current podcastmachine.com account). Though the 1st installment of Volume 1 wasn't published until 11/22/10, I had the Headphones Recommended concept in mind since the previous July (yes, it did take me a long time to dig up podcastmachine.com's embeddable player). So, in a way, Headphones Recommended is over a year old. To celebrate this milestone, thought I'd share some Headphones Recommended stats w/ y'all:<br />
<br />
-Total # of Songs (including this installment): 265<br />
-Total # of Artists/Bands Represented (including this installment): 208<br />
-Total # of Albums In Library when the 1st Headphones Recommended was Published: 265<br />
-Total # of Albums In Library when the 12th Headphones Recommended is Published: 1670 <br />
-Artists/Bands Represented 4 or More Times: Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Silversun Pickups<br />
-Artists/Bands Represented 3 Times: Arctic Monkeys, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Built to Spill, Cave Singers, Dog Faced Hermans, The Dutchess & The Duke, Lucinda Williams, Neko Case, PJ Harvey, & Sleater-Kinney<br />
-Artists/Bands Represented 2 Times: There are 31 of them, too many to list.<br />
-Artists/Bands Represented 1 Time: There are 165 of them...if I didn't list 31, sure as hell ain't listing over a 150.<br />
-Plans For a Volume 3? You bet!<br />
<br />
Of course I had to do something special for the Volume 2 finale. Theme behind this installment is all artists included have not been represented in a previous Headphones Recommended installment. If you've been following these, then you are no stranger to my whining about how I initially grossly overshoot the 80 minute limit, & the melodramatic descriptives of <i>painfully</i> eliminating tracks to meet this time limit. These tracks end up in an overflow playlist. The vast majority of this compilation was pulled from the overflow playlist. <br />
<br />
Enjoy! <br />

<br />
What is especially infuriating, is people who work within the music industry seem to use "Alternative" as a dump genre. It is like they think, "hmmm, I really don't know exactly what this is, so let's just label it Alternative." This just isn't limited to the Alternative genre, it is like the people behind classifying music really don't have a clue as what exactly a good portion of their product is. It is personal interpretation to a fault in many ways. When looking at genre listings (any of them...after all, we've all seen major label releases classified as "Indie"...wtf?!), you don't really know for sure what you're going to get until you listen to it & correct the genre listing in your library.<br />
<br />
Take a look at every other art medium & you'll find they have a pretty good handle on their genres. If a book is tagged "fantasy", you pretty much know the type of story you're going to get. Same w/ movies in the "horror" section at the video store, & "sci-fi" when it comes to a TV show (the exception being SyFy channel reality shows, but we all know they're all on crack). Even the art industry has a handle on their descriptive genres (which has a lot of room for personal interpretation). If a painter is tagged as "Abstract", that is pretty much what your going to get from them.<br />
<br />
Just so this isn't a total whine of a blog post, the music industry is unique in another way too. It is the only industry that after an artist releases their work (an album), the songs on that album remain lucid. Meaning as the artist practices/performs the songs, they inevitably tweak them over time, so the song you hear live (6 months, a year, etc.) down the road more than likely is slightly different (improved...hopefully) from the version released on CD. Works from the publishing, movie, TV, art industries are concrete in their releases, and no matter how much the artist might want to change this small thing here or there, they can't w/o taking the product off the market or redoing it entirely. <br />
<br />
Thanks for reading my rant, feel free & listen to some Alternative songs...<br />

That didn't quite work out. I strayed. I admit it. End result is a great collection of songs, but a few tracks are neither Alternative Country or bluegrass. <br />
<br />
This time around, was honest with myself (yep, surprised myself w/ that one too), and approached the mix w/ a broader theme in mind.<br />
<br />
For the next 80 minutes, let's get outta the city, take that random freeway exit, and find ourselves so far off the beaten path, the roads are just as likely to be unpaved. This <i>Rural Mix</i> includes Alternative Country, Bluegrass, Americana, Folk, & any combination thereof. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

A few weeks ago, I perused the 'ol recently played list & threw all the songs I liked onto the playlist I set aside for this compilation. Found my jaw slightly a gap when I saw the total time exceeded 4 hours. It took a couple of weeks to whittled it down to 80 minutes, a very excruciating & emotional task at times. <br />
<br />
To top it off, I kept adding more songs...such is the price of having so much new music on hand. It seriously took 3 days to break below the 2 hour mark. There was a lot of eliminating songs, listening to the comp, re-adding songs, eliminating other songs, re-listening, repeat. Even today I switched out the Wye Oak song w/ the one I just listened to earlier. <br />
<br />
All in all, turned out to be a really fun process, & I'm very happy w/ the results (especially considering I've listened to most of these songs at least 5 times over the last week). <br />
<br />
It is my hope you start this only to realize you've lost 80 minutes after the last track fades.<br />

<br />
1st, make sure your headphone's cord is long enough (you're really gonna shake your booty w/ this, & it'd suck if you accidentally pulled your computer off the desk). If your cord isn't long enough, hopefully you can download & listen via your mobile device.<br />
<br />
2nd, grab your favorite beverage (mine's an IPA)<br />
<br />
3rd, take off your pants (it rocks to rock out in your skivvies). Note: do <u>NOT</u> take off your pants if you're in a public place, that will likely land your ass in the clink. <br />
<br />
Finally, crank up the volume (it ain't rocking out if the volume is set at a safe, considerate level).<br />

This one is intended to be like the very first Headphones Recommended entry, Fave songs From Fave Bands, but with a much, much bigger pool to choose from. Yep, I've procured a lot of music over the past few months. So much so, that there is way more music than I care to admit which I have yet to listen to.<br />
<br />
The plan is to publish these a little more intensely than in the past (ultimate goal is weekly). So stay tuned, believe me, this is only the tip of the iceberg.<br />

Recently, found myself reading Grant Morrison's New X-Men, Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, & the new New Mutants. A very disorienting experience, since the events in each occur during a different period over the past decade (2001, 2004, & 2009 respectively). <br />
<br />
After being out of the X-Men loop for sometime (stopped reading shortly after the Claremont/Lee X-Men title debuted), found myself curious as to how the X-titles went from Morrison's New X-Men to the current Utopia base of operations. This train of thought quickly became a <i>curiosity killed the cat</i> endeavor. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvLKozsGpZqqHvlH-Ku2jqYwJXLm55aOkkjDikAEECdHCykEO3jZ0lzy8U8Qg6ciUBTOlT4anPtrKZJVntm5BCdrLyYdTy_aDTaNqg44u2axdZCCBYlQFVnzi9WhrVcdlzVDy5saLyX6m/s1600/uncanny+x-men.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="139" width="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvLKozsGpZqqHvlH-Ku2jqYwJXLm55aOkkjDikAEECdHCykEO3jZ0lzy8U8Qg6ciUBTOlT4anPtrKZJVntm5BCdrLyYdTy_aDTaNqg44u2axdZCCBYlQFVnzi9WhrVcdlzVDy5saLyX6m/s400/uncanny+x-men.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Isolating not only what exactly to read, but when exactly the stories took place turned out to be a very frustrating experience. Could not find a single source which lists the individual collections of each X-title in chronological order. <a href="http://marvel.com/">Marvel.com</a> initially turned out to no help whatsoever. One would figure since they <u>are</u> in the business of selling comics, they would have a webpage dedicated to at least their in-print collections. You know, to let us consumers know what's out there...hmmm, maybe I'm just being picky. <br />
<br />
Actually, a really helpful resource I was able to dig up was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Modern-X-Men-Timeline/lm/R19YEHYGUAH4HY/ref=cm_lmt_DYNA_f_3_russss1?pf_rd_p=496997231&pf_rd_s=listmania-center&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0785123202&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1RZHN356HPR8TBTJNBGH">this list</a> on Amazon.com. It is an annotated cross-title summary of the key story arcs, & a great point of reference. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6BB7qEvrki3iIja5dKppptxvleI0BJkOGR1wKeZBSLnwQU1JxBBDKIV0YwyapCj9bKFGTApL7r0GPgAsn9SUmE6r6agQmstBdoMO_319balDDwBHKYJmsUD_A4eos0Db4HXgo_CX4lxP/s1600/new+mutants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="195" width="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6BB7qEvrki3iIja5dKppptxvleI0BJkOGR1wKeZBSLnwQU1JxBBDKIV0YwyapCj9bKFGTApL7r0GPgAsn9SUmE6r6agQmstBdoMO_319balDDwBHKYJmsUD_A4eos0Db4HXgo_CX4lxP/s400/new+mutants.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men">wiki</a>, as usual, turned out to be an invaluable resource too. Page I found summarized the key developments over the past decade to the point where I could've picked up any of the collections listed below and have some idea of what is going on. Really, could've stopped this whole process here.<br />
<br />
However, my inner comic book collector wouldn't let it rest (we collectors do have OCD tendencies, don't we?). Utilizing wiki, Amazon.com, & eventually even Marvel.com, I began compiling a list of graphic novels for each X-title, using Grant Morrison's New X-Men as a starting point.<br />
<br />
A tedious and arduous project for sure. With all the time and effort put into this, how could I not blog the below results? It ain't pretty, but it is a very comprehensive list of 21st century X-tiles to be found on one webpage. Essentially just focused on the team X-titles, so it isn't 100% complete. Also included a story arc timeline summary to help y'all gauge when exactly the collections take place. <br />

To. Rock.This might be my last podcast for awhile. I will pretty much reach my 1 gig limit for PodcastMachine's free account. Really can't justify the $9/month for the lowest level pay account. Ideally I want to store the compilations and embed them on this blog. While it lasted, PodcastMachine.com did just that. So, now have to either find an embeddable player program, or more likely find another podcast site with both a free account & embeddable player. Any suggestions or referrals would be much appreciated. <br />
<br />
Since I don't know for sure when the next installment is, thought I'd leave y'all w/ one rocking compilation...<br />

Looking at these 19 songs, I could easily triple or quadruple this type of compilation. Probably will throughout the next year.<br />
<br />
Also, just so y'all know, the album titles of the lists below link to the MP3 albums (CDs if no MP3 is available) of the song featured. So if you really like a particular song on any of the Headphones Recommended comps, click the link & you'll have your choice to download either the album or individual song. I am all about convenience when it comes to acquiring great music.<br />

I've heard that statement many times from many people. Thing is, almost always, their exposure to the country/bluegrass genre has been via top 40 "country" radio stations. I completely agree that the crap they pass as "country" sucks about 49 out every 50 songs. When people assume that what they hear on those radio stations is country, they understandingly make the conclusion they hate country. What is truly sad is they are closing the door to a whole world of some of the best music I've ever heard, alternative country. <br />
<br />
Me, I like myself a good twang &/or fiddle on a regular basis. That is pretty much what this compilation consists of, alternative country & bluegrass. Enjoy!<br />

Throughout November & December, I infrequently "subjected" my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/casualbrewery">Facebook </a>friends to a series of YouTube music videos. Each music video featured a favorite new (to me) artist discovery. Unlike the <a href="http://casualbrewery.blogspot.com/2010/12/headphones-recommended-121010.html">12.10.10 Soundtrack</a> (which features new music from the prior 2 weeks), these musical discoveries were acquired from October thru December...though I am still loving the artists on both this and the 12.10.10 comps.<br />

A blog post all in itself for sure. However, every once in awhile the tracks that surface from the pool of 650 - 725 (limited to an 8GB phone unfortunately) are in sync w/ what I want/need to hear. This happened to me on 12-10-10. All but 5 tracks are essentially my porch smoking, bus riding, & walking soundtrack from the 10th. ...& of those 5 exceptions, 2 were from the 9th. <br />
<br />
What I am truly excited about this particular compilation is all albums included were acquired w/n the last 2 weeks. Thanks to the <a href="http://www.spl.org/">SPL</a>, I pick up 13-18 new albums a week. Not to mention, Amazon.com's MP3 store has dozens of free samplers from dozens of labels. Between those 2 sources, there has been plenty of new music to explore. Exploring that culminated into an incredible mix of music on the 10th. <br />
<br />
It was a good day.<br />

Just so you're warned, some songs contain words which people who don't live in the real world might find offensive. So if you don't like cuss'n, then don't listen.<br />

Been thinking and talking about doing this for awhile now, and finally got around to publishing the first ever Casual Rants music compilation podcast. It isn't completed...yet. Still have yet to hunt down and gather the cover art for each track. Nevermind that I have said cover art on itunes, but can't figure out how to access it...yet.<br />
<br />
Like the title says, this is a collection of great songs from some of my favorite bands. It is actually part 1. I want to maintain a compilation format, so am limiting myself to the 1.2 hour length available on a CD-R. Initial cut of this almost doubled the time limit. Soooo, part 2 is on its way! Only real changes I made is Johnny Cash's version of Hurt closes this installment, & I added a couple of recent discoveries who are blowing my mind to the second installment. <br />

<br />
Part 3 wraps up the work week in style. A lot of my favorite shows are air on these days. To be honest, I can't really say anything more that won't be repeated below. So let us just get to it...<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>THURSDAY</b></u><br />
The most competitive day ratings-wise. It is good to see a growing presence of genre shows. If people on average watch TV on Thursdays, why not offer an alternative to the long shark jumped CSI and more sitcoms than you can shake a stick at? A couple of networks have done just that. You can count on me to be sitting on my couch w/ beer & remote in hand watching them. Read on...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fox.com/fringe/"><u>FRINGE</u></a><br />
Premieres 9/23, Fox<br />

I love this trailer on so many levels. I love this show. After the absolutely cruel cliffhanger that closed last season, I have been counting the days until the 3rd season premiere. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-vampire-diaries"><u>VAMPIRE DIARIES</u></a><br />
Premieres 9/9, CW<br />
<object width="384" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JQ_fycX_tbo?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JQ_fycX_tbo?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="241"></embed></object><br />
If you can get past the CW-ized social event of the week. If you can get past the obviously influenced by Twilight design & look. Then you will discover an amazing TV show. Based on a books series of the same name, the Vampire Diaries is riveting (for a lack of a better word). Well written, well acted, & overall well executed. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/nikita"><u>NIKITA</u></a><br />
Premieres 9/9, CW<br />
<object width="384" height="313"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WoTz17GWxjs?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WoTz17GWxjs?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="313"></embed></object><br />
There have been many incarnations of Nikita in both film and TV. CW's version, however, breaks from the traditional portrayal of the character & story. That has really peaked my interest. Nikita is promising to be one bad ass & thrilling ride. Can't wait to check it out. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>FRIDAYS</u></b><br />
I told myself I wouldn't mention anything about Sy-Fy channel airing WWE Smackdown on Fridays. So I am not going to point out that they are preempting 12+ years of their anchor programming night (Sci-Fridays) for wresting?! WTF! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/smallville"><u>SMALLVILLE</u></a><br />
Premieres 9/24, CW<br />

Zod made a great villain last season. He was intelligent, well thought out, & brilliantly portrayed. There were actually times you doubted he was a villain at all, so well written the character was. How do you top Zod for Smallville's final season? With Darkseid of course. Can't wait to see how they portray him. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/supernatural"><u>SUPERNATURAL</u></a><br />
Premieres 9/24, CW<br />
<object width="384" height="313"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K-WluRWR264?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K-WluRWR264?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="313"></embed></object><br />
Except for a fan shot clip from SDCC, new footage for Supernatural's 6th season is impossible to find. Considering that there is a new creative team overseeing the show, this means the new season is either really, really good, or horrible. Also considering the new show runners have been on staff since season's 1 &/or 2, I'm banking on really, really good. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/medium/"><u>MEDIUM</u></a><br />
Premieres 9/24, CBS<br />
<object width="384" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bbxxVUnPhE0?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bbxxVUnPhE0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="241"></embed></object><br />
Define irony. Irony is when a network (NBC) cancels a show (Medium), that show is picked up by another network (CBS), & 3 years later becomes the sole survivor of CBS' Friday night line up. If you haven't had the opportunity, I highly recommend you check Medium out. It is a great mix of drama, suspense (I'm talking the sit at the edge of your seat kind), & surreality. NBC was stupid for letting this one go...then again, w/ the whole Conan/Leno debacle, NBC has proven they're not the brightest light bulb on the network chandelier. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fox.com/humantarget/"><u>HUMAN TARGET</u></a><br />
Premieres 10/1, Fox<br />
<object width="384" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5Xh7wbnVShA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5Xh7wbnVShA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="241"></embed></object><br />
Between CBS moving Medium to 8pm, & Fox (a network who has it out for me) moving Human Target to Fridays, I am not 100% I'll be able to catch this one this year. Though miraculously renewed, & CW being great about airing reruns of their shows, I might prioritized Human Target over Smallville. Haven't decided for sure yet. Probably won't decide until premiere in October. I like them both. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ifc.com/todd-margaret/"><u>INCERASINGLY POOR DECISIONS OF TODD MARGARET</u></a><br />
Premieres 10/1, IFC<br />

It looks funny, but not in a formulated Major Network sitcom sort of way. Very curious. <br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Friday Honorable Mention</b></u><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nbc.com/who-do-you-think-you-are/"><u>Who Do You Think You Are?</u></a> (Premieres ?, NBC): NBC's hour long infomercial for ancestry.com is going to return at some point (no premiere date listed, so this might actually be a mid-season show). On one hand, I find it boring, then on the other, it does appeal to one's sense of finding their own identity.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The 'ol DVR ain't slowing down as Part 2 of the Fall 2010 Season highlights continues with Tuesday & Wednesday. In some ways, this fall is proving to be the most frustrating. We can only record 2 shows at a time. Both Tuesday and Wednesday have more than 2 shows airing during the same time slot (which wouldn't be a problem if the Major Networks were willing to air encores late at night instead of infomercials), forcing the decision of which not to record.<br />
<br />
<b><u>TUESDAYS</u></b><br />
Think I can safely call Tuesdays <i>guilty pleasure</i> day. Read on.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.syfy.com/universe/index.php"><b><u>Stargate Universe</u></b></a><br />
Premieres 9/28, SyFy<br />
<object width="384" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ksZsNyln3UA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ksZsNyln3UA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="241"></embed></object><br />
Have you watched that trailer yet? You should. If you have not yet checked out this Stargate incarnation, you are missing a truly great show. I've said it before, don't think of it as a another installment of the Stargate franchise, for SG-U is so much more. It is a really great, intense, well written drama that just happens to have a Stargate in it. SG-U is my most anticipated returning show this season. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.syfy.com/sanctuary/index.php"><b><u>Sanctuary</u></b></a><br />
Premieres 9/28, SyFy<br />
<object width="384" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ksmaetwdi4o?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ksmaetwdi4o?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="241"></embed></object><br />
I like this show. It is a good tongue-in-cheek companion to the more serious Stargate. Their take on the monsters is really creative, and the powers that be behind it know how to weave an interesting fable. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/soa/"><b><u>Sons of Anarchy</u></b></a><br />
Premieres 9/7, FX<br />
<object width="384" height="313"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="313"></embed></object><br />
I consider it a failure on my part for not getting into this show until its 3rd season. The very concept itself says it is bad ass. I like my TV bad ass. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/no-ordinary-family"><b><u>No Ordinary Family</u></b></a><br />
Premieres 9/28, ABC<br />
<object width="384" height="313"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbBplfoXBbY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbBplfoXBbY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="313"></embed></object><br />
I am approaching this one with caution...aka, trying not to get my hopes up. Despite of the obvious Fantastic Four origin rip off, the comic geek in me is absolutely giddy about the concept. However it is on ABC, so my fear is it will be ABC-ized. Hopefully, the network will allow the writers to take it in the direction it needs to go for it realize its potential. Either/or, I'm going to be there on premiere night. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nbc.com/parenthood/"><b><u>Parenthood</u></b></a><br />
Premieres 9/14, NBC<br />
<object width="384" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hFm_Fzv3DcA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hFm_Fzv3DcA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="384" height="241"></embed></object><br />
Lauren Graham always gets me watching the most compromising guilty pleasures. I am a big fan of hers. To give this show credit, the writers do a great job in balancing all the characters and storylines. Not to mention, Craig T Nelson's character is dead ringer of my Grandpa (only it was the Korean War as opposed to the Vietnam War...d'OH, just aged myself). <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Tuesday Honorable Mentions</u></b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fox.com/watch/glee"><b><u>Glee</u></b></a> (Premieres 9/21, Fox): There is too much going on in the same time slot, so going to have to wait until the reruns to catch this quirky guilty pleasure. Yes, I know, I am a bad <i>Gleek</i>. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/"><b><u>Biggest Loser</u></b></a> (Premieres 9/21, NBC): Is it just me, or does the Biggest Loser operate like a cult. They isolate the contestants, break them down, and fill them full of their over-the-top preachy rhetoric as they built them back up. My wife, however, loves this show, so I gotta take one for the team...a heavy price to pay so I can record my Friday shows. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>WEDNESDAYS</u></b><br />
Though there really isn't that much worth watching on this day, it just so happens all but one occupy the same timeslot. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/terriers/"><b><u>Terriers</u></b></a><br />
Premieres 9/8, FX<br />

I was originally going to pass on this one. Seemed like yet another case-of-the-week procedural. Then I read the write up in <i>TV Guide Magazine</i>, and changed my mind. It is a case-of-the-week procedural, but the characters are interesting and have great back stories.<br />
<br />

Survivor got the shaft for not being nominated for an Emmy. Both seasons last year were some of the best of the show's entire run. Hoping that this is the case this year. Though why CBS is moving their 10 year Thursday night anchor to Wednesdays is beyond me...now convinced that network execs are all on crack.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Wednesday Honorable Mention</u></b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/"><b><u>Hell's Kitchen</u></b></a> (Premieres 9/22, Fox): Fox hates me. Really, they do. Why else would they move Hell's Kitchen (yet again) to Wednesdays. I just love it when Gorden Ramsey gets so worked up he literally spits on the contestants. Hoping they're encoring this one, 'cuz spitting or no, I ain't going to miss my Survivor. <br />
<br />
<br />
Links to the show on their respective networks websites are the show's title. Part 3: Thursday Friday should be up in 2 - 3 days. Stay Tuned!<br />

DVR Aim. DVR Record. Fall 2010. Part 1 - Sunday MondaySeptember is upon us...already?! <br />
<br />
September brings many things. That serene silence which can only mean the kids are back in school. Street gutters are clogged w/ the colorful leaves of fall. Cable Networks relinquish the airwaves giving the Major Networks the chance to ruin great concepts. Yes, my friends, Fall Premieres are just around the corner, and the DVR is aching to capture what I hope will be some excellent new & returning shows. <br />
<br />
Like last year, here is the list of shows in the 'ol DVR's crosshairs. Unlike last year, I included a trailer or preview instead of a picture. Taking a <i>Don't take my word for it, see for yourself</i> approach this year. Also different, I'm going to split out the blog into 4 separate installments (previously one mammoth entry), each consisting of 1-2 days. This should make things easier on you, the reader...not to mention on me, the writer. <br />
<br />
Enough banter, let's get to it:<br />
<br />
<b><u>SUNDAYS</u></b><br />
This day still belongs to cable...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hbo.com/#/boardwalk-empire"><u><b>Boardwalk Empire</b></u></a><br />

As sad as I am to see True Blood's season end, I know Broadwalk Empire will right on it's heels. The more footage I see of this show, the more excited I get. Prohibition is a fascinating era in our history, & it looks like the show runners are not hesitating about getting knee deep into it. And it stars that "funny looking" guy from Fargo; Steve Buscemi is a longtime favorite actor of mine. Boardwalk Empire is the premiere I am most looking forward to.<br />
<br />

Finally! A TV show about Zombies. Based on the Image Comic book, this series is written, directed, & executive produced for television by Frank Darabont. You might know him from these little flicks he did, <i>The Shawshank Redemption</i> & <i>The Green Mile</i>. Love that they're premiering a zombie TV show on Halloween. <br />
<br />

Though I have only seen one episode, I have heard enough from reliable sources (aka: friends) that this is a kickass show. So much so, that I've had the 1st 4 seasons DVDs are near/at the top of my "to buy list". The biggest hurdle of me not catching Dexter is the lack of a Showtime subscription. Through with Dish Network's autopay promotion, I'll be able to get a free 3 month trial subscription to Showtime, & catch the 5th season. Judging from the above trailer, it looks like it is going to be pretty intense too. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Sunday Honorable Mentions</b></u><br />
<a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/">Amazing Race</a> (Premieres 9/26, CBS): Phil and the Travelocity Gnome are back to greet stressed out/cranky world travelers at the Rest Stop. I do get a kick out of this <s>reality</s> alternative show. There is a reason it is a staple in the Emmy nominations.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/undercover_boss/">Undercover Boss</a> (Premieres 9/26, CBS): It is good to know that CEOs really, honestly care, and are willing to give us average joes the time of day. Sarcasm aside, this is my wife's pick. She loves this show. One thing I will give it, they have perfected the emotional heart tugs. Though there is a underlying propaganda factor to this, the companies represented in this do get some brilliant publicity. <br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>MONDAYS</b></u><br />
Between returning show schedule changes & more new shows than you can shake a stick at, long gone are the days there's nothing worth watching on Mondays.<br />

Why more Nielsens don't watch Chuck is beyond me. The drama is intense. The comedy is hilarious. The action is badass. It is rare that a show can have you laughing out loud & sitting at the edge of your seat in a single episode. I highly recommend you check out Chuck, if you haven't already.<br />

The preview says it all. All I can add is: Finally.<br />
House is a cleverly disguised serial drama. If you go back to the first season, the characters are distinctly different to who they will be when the 7th premieres. Just be sure to set your DVRs to finish a couple minutes late, Fox is notorious about running their higher rating shows over into the next hour. <br />

Everything about The Event comes screams it is a great concept. If done right, it could prove to be amazing TV. I have high hopes for this one. My biggest fear is NBC will "water" it down, so it can't take the risks it needs to take to be the successful show I know it can be. <br />

A true stand out amongst the procedurals. Castle won't hesitate to make fun of anything, including Nathan Fillon's Firefly days. Mix satire with the perfectly executed sexual tension between Castle and Beckett, you have the workings of an entertaining hour. <br />

If you could judge a show by the caliber of its cast, then Hawii Five-0 is going to rock. If you can judge a show by the extended preview, then Hawii Five-0 is not only going to rock, but will be badass. I am totally excited about this one, and fully admit to having impossibly high expectations. I hope hope hope it won't become a case of the week procedural, but then again it is on CBS, a network that doesn't stray too far from their formula. Either/or, Hawaii Five-0 is the 2nd most anticipated new show (next to Boardwalk Empire) I am looking most looking forward to. <br />
<br />
<br />
Links to the show's respective network webpage are the titles. That's it for Part 1. Part 2 - Tuesday Wednesday will be uploaded w/n the next 2-3 days. Stay tuned!<br />

<br />
First is a preview of Fall programs I'll be capturing on my DVR. Unlike previous entries, think I'll be breaking them down to 2-3 day installments (ie: Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday-Thursday, Friday-Sunday). Whenever possible, will include the trailer. There's some really interesting shows coming out, and I can't wait to see them.<br />
<br />
The second is I've been compiling compilations (iTunes calls them "playlists") of my music. Having an iPhone has really reconnected me with my music collection over the past couple of months. I'll be publishing them here as soon as I figure out how, and I find a good online streaming player. Over the past couple of months, I have completed 6 compilations (15 tracks each), and am currently working on an additional 2. So there is plenty of great music for you all. <br />
<br />

The difference in overall quality of the shows hit me like a freight train. <i>Treme</i> was a well written, well produced tragic send off of its 1st season. <i>The Glades</i> came off of as Dark Shadows w/ a Desperate Housewives twist (if not for the cliffhanger ending, I would have deleted it from my DVR timer). I do like <i>Persons Unknown</i>, but feel it is holding back, no where near realizing its full potential.<br />
<br />
You know, it has gotten to the point where I am tempted to downsize my Dish Network subscription to just the Premium Cable Networks. If not for the very verbal backlash from my family, I would probably do just that. <br />
<br />
Why do this?<br />
<br />
Because, w/ a few exceptions, there really isn't anything I can't live w/o on the broadcast or basic cable networks. Now if I lost HBO while <i>True Blood</i> was airing new eps, I'd drive myself crazy wondering what is happening. Then there are HBO shows like <i>Treme</i>, & the upcoming<i> Boardwalk Empire</i> & <i>A Game of Thrones</i>. Don't even get me started on all the shows I'm missing on Showtime and Starz, (both of which I had a subscription to at one point, but unfortunately we can only afford one premium package). The premium networks are where to get good, intelligent TV.<br />
<br />
When you think about it, it is amazing how much has changed in the last 10-15 years. Before the <i>Sopranos</i> & <i>Sex In the City</i>, the premium nets were all about attracting subscribers via the "latest, greatest blockbuster only found here." Now it's their original programming which they tout. Not to mention, they have no reason to really pay attention to Nielsens, which are designed for measuring viewer count for advertising revenue. All HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc care about are attracting & retaining subscribers. My guess is they trade reporting from satellite & cable carriers (Dish Network, Comcast, etc) for licensing fee credits (thus all the 3 months free deals). When you think about it, the premium networks don't give a shit about how old a viewer is, whether or not they own or rent, of if they're going to the mall w/n the next week to burn some cash. They don't care as long as that particular person is subscribed to and watching their network. <br />
<br />
The entertainment industry is changing. The Nielsen system has been outdated since before the Commodore 64. Advertisers are more frugal w/ their spending, often opting to go with the cheaper online alternative to get their brand out. Not to mention, major networks have no patience w/ original programming if they need to grow an audience, often opting to go with the much cheaper <s>reality programming</s> "alternative programming". The basic cable nets have the patience to grow audiences w/ shows (especially if it receives positive critical & blogger reviews), but most either don't have or are unwilling to risk more than a bare-minimum production budget. The premium networks, however, create a TV show in a similar manner of a movie. They spend the budget to create a well crafted TV experience. They even have the entire season in the can before it airs...total opposite of the major networks, who order scripts by the episode (hmmm, maybe that is why many network shows seem disjointed). <br />
<br />
However, I believe over the next 5 years, we're going to see more and more networks following the "HBO model". We're already seeing evidence of it now. AMC's <i>Breaking Bad</i>, SyFy's <i>Caprica</i>, & FX's <i>Justified</i> to name a few. Though they might not necessarily have the budget of the premium networks, each is an ambitious, intelligent TV experience. I am certain we will see these examples & a more cable original programming nominated along side, if not dominating, in most categories come the July 8th Emmy announcements. If the past couple of years hold true, many cable series will beat out their major network counterparts and take home the Emmy. <br />
<br />
Okay, so maybe I'll keep my basic cable subscription. I don't think I'd be able to function w/o having access to <i>Breaking Bad</i>, <i>Caprica</i>, or <i>SG-U</i> when their new seasons premiere. I'll also be keeping my HBO subscription, but keeping a close eye on the other premium networks. DVDs are cheaper than two more $9 - $12 per month subscriptions...well, that is until I start buying 3 or 4 of their shows per quarter. The premium nets don't have enough programming hours to be there...yet...but every year it seems like they add more programming hours, & every year the shows get more ambitious in both scope and production values. <br />
<br />

Seriously, it is very difficult to talk about the episode w/o leaking spoilers like Destiny leaks atmosphere. <br />
<br />

<br />
One of the tells of a great serialized series is the episodes bleed into one another, making it difficult to distinguish when one episode ends & the follow up begins. Such is the case w/ "Subversion" & "Incursion Pt. 1". Young does vent the cell effectively killing Telford (whose in Rush's body...it is a communication stones thing, makes perfect sense if you watch SG-U from the beginning). That is the opening scene, & the episode does not slow down from there. <br />
<br />
Incursion also ties the loose end of who attacked the base in SG-U's premiere episode. This is the event that landed our marooned characters onto Destiny to begin with. The Lucian, an opposition group hell bent on getting their hands on alien technology, are using Rush (whose in Telford's body) to get onto Destiny. They do just that. After easily breaking through Col. Young's defenses, the resulting battle not only lands the pregnant T.J. as a Lucian hostage, but also leaves Cloe shot & lost in a previously unexplored portion of the ship w/ Eli (who is not known for his cool headedness in intense situations). <br />
<br />
SG-U also does a great job in leaving certain plot elements unspoken. Though briefly acknowledged by Rush (now back in his own body), Destiny has obviously taken a disliking to the Lucian. Whether or not they play the Destiny card in the finale, certain events furthered my suspicion that Destiny is an A.I. <br />
<br />
So strong the suspense and drama, I found myself sitting at the edge of my seat throughout the entire episode. I was so engrossed into Incursion that it was a physical shock when the screen blacked out after the final scene. <br />
<br />
Stargate has come a long way since the <i>planet of the week</i> episodes of SG-1. SG-U not only proves it can be an amazing situational character drama, but also is raising the bar of what a serialized series can do. <br />

There is no "it was an okay episode," "it could have been better," or "not the worst, not the best" here. By the end of an episode, I am either exhilarated or annoyed. <br />
<br />

<br />
If you're unfamiliar with Burn Notice, the catalyst of the series is Michael Weston, a burnt spy trying to get back into the spy game. He is marooned in this wasteland known as Miami. Each episode includes 3 basic plot elements. First is Michael's personal life, which involves his overly intrusive chain smoking Mom, Madelyn, his on again/off again gun toting girlfriend Fiona, & the charismatic ex-military intel operative Sam (played by Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell). Each week, he takes on a client who has gotten themselves into some serious trouble w/ some serious people. Finally, there is the serialized story arc, which involves Michael solving the ever burning question, how to get his job as a spy back. It is a formula, but one that has proved to work really well in balancing out all the aspects of Michael's life.<br />
<br />
In the 1st couple of seasons, the writers utilized this formula and created some amazing, entertaining, & hilarious episodes. Then, throughout most of the 3rd season, that spark (for a lack of a better word)wasn't there. The formula stagnated, as formulas can do.<br />
<br />
That is my impression of season 4's premiere, <i>Friends and Enemies</i>. While watching the episode, I felt as if I was being forcibly shoved from scene to scene. The episode lacked development & process. From Michael & his new contact, Vaughn, suddenly locating & on location of the remote jungle hideout of Gregory Hart (a painfully underused gun trafficer played by Michael Ironside) to Fiona waltzing into the headquarters of a biker gang so cliche in its portrayal I can't even remember what the gang was called. She of course easily locates and steals the information the team needed from an unguarded office on the second floor. Then magically that information is conveniently ties Winston, the client, to Big Ed, the biker gang leader who's <i>the only one who can lift the kill on sight tag</i> off of Winston's head. Aside from a righteous chase/firefight scene, the whole biker/lawyer story was anti-climatic, & really nothing close to the mind blowing intense action & drama you'd expect from a season premiere. Even the actors themselves had this air of just going through the motions about them.<br />
<br />
Overall, I spent most of the episode thinking it is the 3rd Season all over again. Then, probably the last 5 - 10 minutes of the episode, a sequence of events occurred. Vaughn had Micheal break into a government building in order to steal data on an investigation of Gregory Hart. The consequences of the break in resulted in a spy getting burned. It was a subtle but insane twist. Classic Burn Notice. The episode closed leaving me exhilarated & looking forward to next week's installment.Casual Breweryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17735513839726118810noreply@blogger.com0
