Wacha Wachin?

So more into this Fall season. As you know, Fall is the worst time of the year. Unfortunately, it's also the time that all the TV shows come back with new seasons. This is just some commentary on the shows I'll be watching and some of the shows I won't be.

Heroes - Just had to get this one right out of the way. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch this season or not. I was a HUGE fan of the first season, and the second wasn't all that bad. It's just the third season that my suspicions were aroused (that's what she said, but more on that later). It seems that the show is at a crossroads. The writers are clearly afraid to add new characters or change the universe in any way. The addicting part of the first season was you really had no idea if New York was gonna blow up or not. Sadly, no boom-boom. Then the second season rolled around and promised this huge plague in 2008 (season 2 was in 2007) and the story basically reskinned the events that happened in the first season. Season 3 at least tried to mix things up with story, but the events happen too quickly and characters change objectives too much to appreciate anything. Not to mention that in Season 3 nearly every "hero" lost their powers and then got them back and then got them taken away then got them back at a reduced strength FOR NO APPARENT REASON. Season 4 needs more characters, more cohesive plot, evolution of superpowers and a huge disaster actually occuring (tired of this Isaac Mendez painting crap).

24 - Sigh. Just no for me. Tired of seeing the same old crap and people come in that I don't understand because I didn't watch the first few seasons.

House - Haven't been watching it lately, but I want to get back into it. They seem to be mixing it up nicely with the Mental Institution. SPOILER!

Fringe - Hell yeah. Great show with awesome science fiction. IMO, better than the X-Files. J.J. Abrams does it again.

The Office - Huge fan of the show and have been keeping up on it. Great direction they're taking the show in. Still the same type of humor yet seems fresh thanks to the overarcing story to it. Fantastic. (Let "that's what she said" comment resume here).

Community - New show that's premiering after The Office on Sept. 17. Though not all of NBC's shows work out, check this one out. Joel McHale (of The Soup) is hilarious and it's good to see Chevy Chase returning to something.

30 Rock - Quite possibly the funniest show that NBC has ever had, simply because it makes fun of NBC. Tina Fey is a comedic genius, and Alec Baldwin never was so on his game. Great cast with even better writing (That's a dealbreaker ladies!).

True Blood - Unfortunately, this show started during the summer and ends a week from today. I seriously came in the middle of season 2 and I like it already. Not your goofy Twilight kind of vampires, these guys are gory as can be. Not perfect, there are a few things that are kinda stupid (like focusing on people who aren't vampires) but still a pretty awesome, dark, VERY mature show.

Finally, the show I do want to check out, Mad Men. Sounds pretty cool from a broad standpoint, but maybe not so much when I watch it. We'll see. Also don't forget that The Guild season 3 has a new show out every Tuesday for the next few weeks, so go check it out and Getcha NERD on, ya heard?
