All my comments aside, what have I bothered to stick with, what might I check in on, and what is dead to me?
DVR is set to record Nikita, No Ordinary Family, Detroit 1-8-7, Raising Hope, Running Wilde, and Outsourced … though I may drop Running Wilde after this week unless it gets much better. Lone Star was set to be recorded too, before its demise. Importantly, though, none are in the category of ones I feel I must watch — if the DVR failed to record any of the above, I’d be nonplussed.
If the television’s on anyways, I might watch any of the following: Undercovers, Hawaii Five-0, or The Whole Truth. Blue Bloods and Shit My Dad Says might get very occasional patronage. And I might check in on The Event, since it’s serial drama and I feel I need to check in on it for work. Plus, I feel Better with You and Mike and Molly need checking up on in a few weeks, as might Law and Order: LA (though only the second half, as previously noted), though all out of interest and for work, not out of interest.
Outlaw, Chase, Hellcats, and The Defenders are all well and truly out of my frame of reference now. And My Generation’s death couldn’t have come too soon.
All in all, therefore, I rank the new season a definitive “meh.”
