why would anyone watch the OJ stuff? I suppose people will watch the Joan Benoit stuff too.....I don't get it.

 

edit:99% sure I got that last name wrong, because I just don't care about stuff like that.....

It was super good, actually. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes super good stuff. 

 

It's not just some courtroom drama, and it's not just a show about OJ Simpson. Matter of fact, his character isn't even very prominent. When you get down to it, it's about race relations in early 90's LA. If that's not interesting or crazy relevant, then I don't know what is.

Don't worry, in 20 years the network overlords will have implanted both sensory gratification and mainstream withdrawal chips in your brain so you will crave and feel like you enjoy the poorly written

Man, the good place looks like the worst tv show ever.....

Yeah, one or more of these shows won't last 6 episodes. 

As much as I like Danson and Bell, that show doesn't look great. Hope to be wrong on that. 

My front-runner for pulling the plug early is Kevin Can Wait.... I don't believe we are clamoring for another King of Queens type sitcom.

Tonight: 

"Gotham" season 3 premiere on Fox.

"The Good Place" starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson - Pilot airs on NBC. 

 

"Kevin Can Wait" starring Kevin James - pilot airs on CBS. The commercials look pretty bad. 

"The Big Bang Theory" - much like "Everybody Loves Raymond" I can't believe this show is still on, and supposedly successful. 

 

I'll check out the Kristen Bell series. I laughed at the previews ... but ... that could get old quick. The others? Meh.

But then, whatever ... 

 

I don't really watch much television anymore other than movies and hgtv.

 

I'm looking forward to season 2 of Life in Pieces. And I wanted to check out the Kieffer Sutherland series. Other than that ... maybe ... Pitch? Dunno.

Poor Gotham, so much potential absolutely destroyed by poor writing and planning.  I think television has gotten so good that I'm starting to really notice the difference in writing quality.  There was a long time where I went more by the genres that entertained me, but now I seek out anything and everything so long as I can sense good writing chops at work.

I have a feeling Kevin Can Wait will be good...and the others, well, not so much (and I am hoping I am wrong about The Good Place due to Danson and Bell.).  Or they will all be bad.

I'm not a fan of Kevin James. But I like both Kristen Bell and Ted Danson,M that's why I'll probably check it out. But later. I'm off to imbibe some margaritas on Monday. :)

Watched the pilot of "The Good Place" last night. It's actually good so far! I may be biased because I'm a fan of Bell and Danson... But I have hopes that this show can last. The creator of this show also worked on "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation", 2 of my favorite comedies on TV.

Well, that's a plus (the creator part) for sure.

Didn't watch it yet. Plan to tonight. DID watch Kevin James' new one.  I liked it, but not enough to continue watching it.  Casting doesn't even seem to work.

So, Van ... what's on tonight? I mean ... lately ... I haven't been checking out my TV Guide because you have provided for me here.

Just doing my job! Craig is going to be excited tonight... Agents of SHIELD Season 4 premieres at 9:00 PM CT. Something called "This is Us" debuts on NBC.

You got the last name right. The first name is Joaquin though.

 

But I think you've confused this with that other baseball show, because the previews I've seen were about a slim young female pitcher, not a chubby reliever closing in on 40.

The King of Queens is probably my favorite show of all time. I still watch reruns pretty often. And I thought the first episode of Kevin Can Wait was pretty good.

 

The Good Place was really funny too. I think I'll continue watching that one for a while.

I am ready for the new season of Agents of SHIELD; looking forward to seeing the take on the newer Ghost Rider in it.

Watched 'Lethal Weapon'  I liked it.

 

Was disappointed in 'The Good Place'.  Couldn't even keep my interest.

I was so-so on Lethal Weapon. I'll watch 'The Good Place' a bit just to see where it goes but I'm really not sure about it. It was ... different ... I'll give it that. Watched 'This is Us' which has gotten good reviews but for the life of me I can't figure out what it's about. I think the first episode was just introducing characters and giving a glimpse at where they are in their lives, but have no clue how these characters intersect and what this show is about.

I agree, The Good Place gets an 'A' for originality, just didn't do it for me.  Had no interest in 'This is Us'

Well, I'm pretty much in the 'no interest' category with 'This is Us' after that first episode, but reviews eluded to some 'bigger purpose' of these characters ... just don't know what and therefore have no clue what the show is even about other than melodrama.
