The Fall Season in Shows: A Quick Rundown

New shows worth checking out:

Trophy Wife

Mom

Blacklist-I actually haven't watched it but my family is obsessed.

Sadly it was a weak start to new shows this year.

New shows to skip:

Reign-It could have been more fun but it takes itself too seriously and the leads lack charisma.

Most of the new comedies, including: Sean Saves the World, The Millers, The Crazy Ones, Back in the Game

Ironside-So much potential wasted

I don't want to put Super Fun Night on here because it has a cute premise but it needs to sharpen up

Shows that need to get back on track:

New Girl

Scandal-Let's get it together people!  The reason we watch is to see Olivia and Fitz together, come on.

The Real Housewives of Miami-Usually a fun escape, it seemed more shrill and annoying this year.

Parks and Recreation-This isn't the show's fault really, but I fear that it may be going the way of cancellation and that's a shame because it really is a cute, quirky gem.

Pretty Little Liars-I am only putting PLL on this list because the Halloween show was such a disappointment; don't waste our time with a transition into the Ravenswood spin-off, not cool.

Shows that are back with a bang:

The Good Wife-Wowza.  Backstabbing, betrayal, could the split at Lockhart/Gardner be any more intense?

The Mentalist-We best be finding out who Red John is, finally.

Revenge-The show listened to viewers and got back to what it does best, Emily crossing off people one red X at a time.  Just don't let her get too soft on us; Jack and Nolan aren't helping any.  "Oh Ems all I ever wanted was your friendship," I love you Nolan but shut it, I want to see the kick-ass Emily action!

Glee

The Mindy Project-I almost counted it out last year but this year it is more ridiculous and funnier than ever with no lack of banter between Danny and Mindy.

The Vampire Diaries-They might want to temper down the doppelganger thing though, I mean I'm totally for multiple Paul Wesleys walking around but it's getting a bit much.

2 Broke Girls

And the funniest lines so far go to:

The Mindy Project: Danny to Mindy

"You're mad because you think the Brown Lady M&M stole your look!"

2 Broke Girls: Caroline

"I cannot be a latent bisexual, I already have enough on my plate!"

The Vampire Diaries: Damon to Jeremy

"Put the crossbow down Pocahontas."
