I might not want to watch it all the time.

Fresh Off the Boat, while not brand new, was something I had not seen before. What a train wreck! I found it downright offensive.

...Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris or Life in Pieces to know they were not anything I wanted to watch. Even Big Bang Theory has gone downhill.

I LOVED Limitless on CBS! Normally when I watch TV I am casually sitting or stretched out on the couch, but I was sitting up straight for the entire program! It reminded me of Quantum Leap and Early Edition (two of my all-time favorite TV series) or last year's one-season Forever. It helped that I had seen the movie. I thought it was really nice to see a TV series that actually treated its theatrical movie as a prequel, rather than borrowing the premise and starting over again.

From the promos, I thought it was going to be a sci-fi about someone with a super-developed brain. It held my interest, but I hope it's not just another crime show.

I watched the first "Best Time Ever" and that was enough for me. Too frenetic, as if it can't decide what it wants to be.

I did like "Blindspot" from the beginning though, especially the actors and the scenes around NYC.

I found this list of everything! It has the premiere dates of new and returning shows from dozens of channels. This article is very helpful.

I really enjoyed Minority Report, but for all the wrong reasons.
Up until the 1990s, science fiction on TV and movies was, for the most part, positive. It was brightly colored and featured attractive characters and settings. Then, for some reason, everything changed. The stories became more and more depressing. They were filmed with blue and gray screens (which I guess is today's version of black-and-white). Spaceships and cities were dark and damp and filthy. Sometimes it was actually hard for me to see what was going on, the screen was so dark! Characters had little or no hair on their heads. Their clothing was tight and uncomfortable looking. Hair was greasy and clothing was dirty. No one looked like they bathed regularly. Most annoying of all, the plots were about conspiracies within conspiracies within conspiracies.
Minority Report was old style! The cities and streets and buildings were bright, as were people's clothing and hair. Everyone looked so much more comfortable! The technology was used by everyone but was not omniprescent and omnipotent. The plot was straightforward, and there didn't seem to be any evil, all-knowing shadowy figures.
I will definitely watch Minority Report again.

Indian Summers is the current Masterpiece Classic series. I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. So many unrelated subplots!

It's no "Downtown Abbey", that's for sure, although I think DA has gotten a bit boring. I'm glad they're having their last season.

Grandfathered and The Grinder on Fox will be very easy to mix-up. Both feature single handsome middle-aged (and arrogant) men. Obviously the two shows have similar titles. Grandfathered airs first, followed by The Grinder.
Grandfathered, with John Stamos, was really cute and I will watch it again. I especially liked the Beach Boys inside joke.
I could tolerate only 15 minutes of The Grinder, with Rob Lowe. If the characters get less obnoxious, I might watch it, but not if it stays the way it is.

I guess Blood and Oil is good. I enjoyed the pilot episode, but after watching the second episode I've decided I don't want to get involved in another sleazy nighttime soap opera. (Not that that's a bad thing; it's just not for me.)

I didn't know that different Masterpiece Classic series aired during the same months.
Last week I tried watching Indian Summers at 9 p.m. Sunday but didn't care for it. This week another program started at 8 p.m. Sunday, also under the Masterpiece Classic banner. It was called Home Fires and I liked it a lot.
It's about a group of women in a small town in England in 1939 knowing that the country will soon be going to war and their efforts to prepare for it. Home Fires reminded me, of all things, of The Waltons when that show had its World War II episodes. Not the plot, but the way the women looked and acted: the rayon dresses and the hair flattened except for the poof around the edges, the cooking skills, plus their growing independence from the men.

Trailblazing Women is a new documentary series airing in October on TCM, hosted by Illeana Douglas. It's about movies directed/produced by women, from the 1890s to the 1990s. Many of these movies have been long forgotten.
Illeana does a brief introduction of each film, mentioning high points and details about the making of the movies. I think the intros are the best parts of each "episode." The discussion is followed by the movie.

I also have enjoyed Code Black which is a series based on the documentary. A few months ago I was finally able to get a copy of the documentary here in South Korea after waiting a long time. The documentary was excellent and I highly recommend it. The series is also great as well. Marcia Gay Harden, Melanie Chandra (she is also in The Brink), and Luiz Guzman are in it.

The camaraderie between Harden and Guzman's characters is really great. Without giving away too much Guzman is the senior nurse and Harden is the ER resident director. I won't say anymore than that.

Wednesday nights on ABC

Ion has a new series called Saving Hope, airing at, of all times, 11 p.m. Tuesdays. It's a hospital drama and it's pretty graphic, which is why I guess it is scheduled so late.
The story is told from the point of view of a surgeon who was in a car accident and is now in a coma. He is seen wandering the halls of Hope Zion Hospital and occasionally encounters the souls of patients who have just died. I know I have seen this plot device before in a hospital drama, but I can't remember where. I saw the idea used most recently in the 2014 movie If I Stay.
I will have to watch a few more episodes before I decide whether to keep watching. I don't know how long a person can be in a coma and still be considered alive enough to be aware of the world.

But since it's a Canadian show, not a lot of Americans know about it.

Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything is so stupid that it is insulting. It's a new sitcom on Disney XD about three nerdy boys and their misadventures. Imagine a show where all the characters are Sheldon, Urkel and Screech, with nothing to soften their rough edges. I can't imagine even a 5-year-old boy finding this show funny.

The Inspectors is something I will try and watch again. It airs at 11:30 a.m. eastern time on Saturdays on CBS, but it doesn't feel like a Saturday morning live action series.
There are two groups in the show. One is a group of US Postal Service Inspectors (they are actually police officers) looking for mail fraud. The other group is of teens and their problems in high school. I think at least one of the high-schoolers is a child of one of the inspectors.
The Inspectors looks like it is being filmed in South Carolina.

Another new Friday night comedy is Truth be Told on NBC. It was just okay. The writing and acting seemed a little forced.

I guess the main attraction of Wicked City is the early 80s music. The new series takes place in Los Angeles in 1982.
It wasn't that bad of a show, although more gruesome than I like. I will have to watch it again to decide if I like it or not.
The premise isn't original, though. A serial killer is on the loose and the police are collecting clues to find him. How many serial killers have been on TV series, anyway?

Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom reminds me of Charlie and Lola, an animated show that aired about 10 years ago in the US which I also loved.
Ben and Holly just started showing on Nick Jr. in America, although I've learned that it originally aired in England in 2009. These are brief cartoons about two families, one elf and the other fairy, who are very tiny and live in what I guess is a field. Ben is a young elf and Holly is a young fairy. The story was absolutely adorable and brightly colored and very simple. I discovered this show while channel surfing and I will have to hunt for it again.

After watching two episodes of Wicked City, I've had enough. No need to torture myself by watching something that makes me nauseated. What is the point of this show?
After watching two episodes of The Inspectors, I am hooked. It's the most unlikely live-action Saturday morning program I've ever seen.
Meanwhile, Home Fires has completed its run on PBS. I have no idea if there is a second season.

Since the cancellation of Graceland and Breaking Bad, the topic of drug dealing from the dealer's point of view is now being covered by a British and French series called Spotless. I saw the second half of one of the episodes and think I will watch it again. The show seemed to be well-done. Esquire began showing it two weeks ago.

NBC has been trying out some new sitcoms on Monday nights. I did not care for last week's Superstore; it was offensive on a number of levels. I didn't watch the second episode.
But I did watch both episodes of Telenovela last night. I laughed a few times. The show needs some tinkering but it could be very amusing.

I am still watching Telenovela, The Muppets, Limitless and Grandfathered.

There have been many debuts in the past three weeks.
Angel from Hell on CBS: I didn't care for it at all. I watched portions of three episodes and thought it was boring and annoying. Plus, I am not a fan of Jane Lynch.
Colony on USA: I watched two episodes and have decided not to continue. It is a good show but I am just not in the mood any more for alien/human conspiracy within conspiracy within conspiracy.
Lucifer on Fox: I loved it! Well-acted, clever, likeable characters, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and really cute!
Mercy Street on PBS: Another new love. Exciting and intriguing.
Nature Cat on PBS: This one is hard to explain. It's an animated series that PBS just started showing in the morning. Its style is reminiscent of Hanna-Barbera, who made my favorite cartoons when I was growing up. Nature Cat bears a slight resemblance to Top Cat. The opening and closing credits are in English and the names associated with the show are American, but the text in the cartoon itself looks like Greek! So I don't know the origins of this show, or if it has been shown in other countries before arriving in the US.
The Shannara Chronicles on MTV: I am quite hooked. I've never read any of the novels and didn't even realize they were still in existence. (I remember seeing them in bookstores in the 1970s but I wasn't old enough to be interested in them at the time.) I hope the show does well because I truly enjoy it.

I love period dramas.

Such a great show with great scenes and dialogue.

I am a little worried it won't get renewed. Networks seem to be in a hurry to cancel the good shows rather than wait to see if the ratings improve.
