Partners

But you said...but she said...OOOOH, my medication!

Partners is a new sitcom from the creators of Will and Grace, proving, once again, that egocentric, gay men are hilarious...and that sitcoms are a vile form of entertainment.

Old Doctor Whos

Despite their incredible age and, at times, irrelevance to my modern sensibilities, I'm getting a huge kick watching the surviving episodes of the 1960s Doctor Who.  Due to a policy of taping over episodes once the BBC had determined that there was no longer any financial benefit to them, over 100 episodes of Doctor Who no longer exist.  Fortunately, thanks to off-air taping and random clips gathered from around the world, many of these older episodes at least exist in part.  Compared to the highly edited and (partially) advanced special effects of the modern, excellent Doctor Who series, these original episodes seem more like a play than a TV show.  Yet these quaint adventures with the ridiculous Daleks and giant bee monster-puppets are fun for me and my son versus the more intense modern incarnation of the good doctor.  Old doesn't always mean boring.  A Good way to spend a lazy Sunday.

Revolution


From the creator of Supernatural and executive producer J.J. Abrams (who has no other shows since Alcatraz was cancelled), comes Revolution, the story of a world without electricity.  Speaking of which, my refrigerator broke.

Go On


It's a new NBC comedy starring Matthew Perry! Well, considering that NBC has been relatively solid in their new comedies over the past few years (Get back in the corner, Whitney!) and the show buzz has been positive, I figured, "why not?"

The 2012 Fall TV Season


Can you believe that the new Fall TV season is upon us already.  So far, I'm trying to catch up with Grimm and Supernatural so that I'll be ready for their respective premieres.  I think I've been hitting a high percentage with my choice for shows the past couple of years (the networks would tend to disagree), having little time for TV that isn't really good or isn't only 30 minutes and is enjoyed by my wife..  I've broken down my viewing schedule by day and labeled which shows are brand new, which are returning favorites, and which I'm most excited about.
