Wondering if any of you had heard of any new TV shows you were looking forward to? Might be useful if you also posted some of your current/previous faves, to give folk an idea of your tastes. I haven’t heard anything. I see there is a new comedy following Big Bang that I’ll probably give a try or 2, but the ads don’t look too promising. The shows I taped last season were Big Bang, Modern Family, Good Wife, Madame Secretary, Elementary, Better Call Saul, Battle Creek. Any suggestions? ---

I’m looking forward to Neil Patrick Harris’ _Best Time Ever_ (or something); I love NPH! I also think _Life in Pieces_ has potential - looks like another multiple-families-in-the-same-family concept, like _Modern Family_. ---

I’ve seen ads for [Rosewood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood_(TV_series)) that look promising. I’m a sucker for shows about coroners. Since my T.V. watching consists mostly of competitive reality shows and crime dramas, this should fit right in. ---

I’m going to have to see if I can get Blunt Talk online; Patrick Stewart doing comedy is something I need to see. ---

I like _The Flash_ and _Agents of SHIELD_ and have mixed feelings about _Arrow_ and _Gotham_, so I’m cautiously looking forward to _Supergirl_ (the trailer looks really iffy) and _Legends of Tomorrow_ (scheduled to debut mid-season, I believe). ---

I’m cautiously optimistic about the series adaptation of Limitless. ---

_Supergirl._ I’m really looking forward to this one. Hope they don’t fuck it up too bad. ---

_Dream Girls_ - it’s _American Horror Story_ with Jamie Leigh Curtis instead of Jessica Lange. Or why not: _American Horror Story - Hotel_, now with Lady Gaga! ---

In a few months I guess I’ll binge watch -Ash vs the Evil Dead (Hail to the King!) -The Bastard Executioner (Knights of Anarchy) -Blindspot (Memento with Girl) -Dr Ken (Señor Chang MD) And whatever I hear is good from the rest. ---

Watched the first episode of Blunt Talk last night. It didn’t have the zip to carry a series into multiple seasons, though it was star-studded and enjoyable to watch. We’ll see if it can settle into itself and have a nice long run. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > What’s the one with the tattooed girl? _Blindspot_. I watched the leaked pilots for _Blindspot_, _Lucifer_, and _Minority Report_. My reviews, in order: Intriguing; Excellent; Excruciating. So I’m really looking forward to _Lucifer_, _Supergirl_, and _Legends of Tomorrow_, and will give _Blindspot_ a chance. _Jessica Jones_ will probably be good too, based on _Daredevil_’s brilliance, but I have no idea what it’s even about. ---

Lessie… _Blindspot,_ for mostly prurient reasons, I’m sure until the novelty wears off or the story gets stupid. Adult Swim has a pilot called _Bad Guys_, about a Cobra/SPECTRE-esque supervillain organization. I might try and catch that, before it’s cancelled. ('Gotta make room for all the creepy live-action stoner comedies, of course.) Aaaaand…huh. That’s it. Where do I sign up to get my Creaky Old Grump card, again? ---

In order of anticipation: Ash Vs. the Evil Dead Legends of Tomorrow The Man in High Castle The Shanara Chronicles All have a chance to be either great or terrible. ---

> [@AK84](#): > > In _Lucifer_ why does the devil have a British accent? Well, they had to keep _something_ from the comics. Seriously, Gaiman and Carey’s character adapted as a generic procedural where the devil teams up with a woman who apparently works as a LAPD detective between modelling gigs. Sometimes real life is a parody. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/looking-forward-to-any-new-tv-series/728836.md?page=2)
