I was having lunch with a friend and work and we started talking about new good things on TV. He couldn’t think of anything new this season that was any good. That got me thinking, is there? Good is extremely objective I know but I am thinking from my perspective. The answer so far is not really. I am Tivo’ing a bunch of new stuff, and several older shows that are still good, but most of what I am recording is actually not that great.
I think this season the only two shows that I say I actually like are Modern Family, and Stargate Universe. You have to like Ed Oneal as the grumpy grand dad on a well written show. For Stargate Universe I have always been a Stargate fan even when it wasn’t that good. This new version is a bitt gritty and interesting so far. I know the whole lost in space theme will bother me sooner or later, but for now I am enjoying it.
As for everything else that is new, I am still recording a few shows, but when they show up on my Tivo I won’t watch them unless there is nothing else out there. WIth seasons like this I am glad for the precious few returning shows that are funny and or interesting.
