 This is the SF Productions podcast network TV seasons here the fault TV seasons here Hello From the pop culture bunker. I'm Mindy and I'm mark you can check out our audio podcast How I got my wife to read comics on iTunes or on our website SF podcast network calm Well the annual tradition is back the fall TV season begins and so we're doing our show This is like the third or fourth one. We've done. I think this may be four. I think so Of course premiering TV shows in the fall goes back to the 50s Which was originally the new model year for cars at least all the way back then I do remember waiting for the TV guide fall Preview issue to come out. I actually have a collection that goes from 77 When it was 30 cents to 2005 when it was 299 and then now it just doesn't even make sense to get a TV guide Anyway, no we're basing our stuff from entertainment weekly now Of course the TV industry is nothing if not bound to tradition, but now things have changed TV is introduced all year round Networks are no longer in the cat bird seat what with cable and now online But a tradition is a tradition So the big four start the big the yeah the big the big five The big five start their fall TV season. Yeah, so let's run through the new shows night by night Starting with Sunday night. Yeah, a lot of the same football boxes animated block. Good wife ABC does have two new shows blood and oil Which is basically Dallas with Don Johnson as JR or or its empire? Yeah, because they're really promoting the two women in it as well Right, so I think they're trying to compete against Empire as well. I think you're right and it's I believe it's all based in North Dakota So it's all the new. Yeah, it's all about fracking now We have Quantico about FBI trainees one of which may be a terrorist which tells me they did a really lousy job of Screening people. I think this is like a Their take on how to get away with murder because really it's only a one-season kind of concept You know, yeah, you find out who that terrorist is so and Bollywood's Priyanka Chopra stars So she's a huge star in India, but this is her first real thing in the US and they're really playing her up Moving on to Monday several new entries CBS's life in pieces if you like modern family, you'll love this clone of modern family it looks a little Different from modern family and maybe weirder, but but it is so very much in the idea of Three separate families. Yeah, they all have separate stories and then they come together at the end Which is the whole formula for modern family CBS has Supergirl once CBS gets football out of the way It's only been 40 years since we got a comic superhero and show in prime time. That was wonderful. Yeah. Yeah Really looking forward to this, but still not sure why it's not on the CW My concern is there's no where to fit it with there's gonna be no lead-in, but it looks really good Oh, yeah, it looks great, but I'm worried it's gonna get lost on CBS. Yeah Speaking of the CW though, we have crazy ex-girlfriend, which is a stalker musical comedy. I Don't know if CW's luck can hold out for this or not We have on Fox minority report because TV shows based on movies are always a hit Hey, you can look out everyone's well with like a mash. Yeah, and this will be the next man I'll be the next man. Yeah, or it'll be the next cancellation in about four weeks. Yes, because I from what I understand It's very expensive Because it's in it's a futuristic show. So Unless it hits huge numbers almost immediately. It's Fox. It's gone. Yeah NBC has blind spot, which is a big concept and a big bet for NBC. It's just the one where the girl is She's got tattoos, right? She doesn't remember anything, right? But she suddenly has these abilities and all this Yeah, I might watch that Yeah At this point NBC doesn't have a lot else going for it. So they'll probably let it run for a while Tuesday we have ABC's the Muppets. This is a show. I'm looking forward to the most Yes, so big bang theories Bill Prady worked for Henson as a writer Long time ago and the only question is whether his reverence for the characters get in the way But based on the ads they're really expanding the concept more adult and it's more You know, it looks like it should be a lot of fun. Absolutely. I'm looking forward to it CBS has limitless. Hey a guy gains expert abilities at stuff through tech I've never seen that idea before on TV. What a new idea. I would like to point out This is another TV series based on a movie. Of course it is So you got two strikes already Fox's grandfathered and the grinder don't bother learning much about the sitcoms with veteran TV stars Cuz it won't be along around for very long. I don't think so either Fox's scream Queens, so I'm not sure how you do an ongoing horror series unless you do it on cable and you can show stuff Yeah, I It's an interesting concept though, right? I don't know. Yeah NBC has Chicago med and coming soon Chicago security guards They just ranking that out and doing the the law and order CSI How many Chicago shows can you have and that's how they're doing there? They're promoting it as the next Chicago show, right? Yeah, you know, it's like okay. It's now the Chicago trilogy. Yes NBC has best time ever with Neil Patrick Harris. It's a variety show. It's a hidden camera show It's a dessert topping. It's if he can talk himself every week after the frenetic first episode we saw Yeah, that's my concern is wow, I don't know what else you could do Yeah, they just threw everything at the screen. They possibly and they gave away like prizes to the audience and to home viewers Right that weren't there was a car and there were trips and I mean it was just ridiculous Absolutely, and then we have ABC's Wicked City This is a 1980s LA serial murder case with with a limited season kind of like American crime And they could come back with a different serial murder case every season if they wanted. Yeah Over on Wednesday, we have CBS's Code Black. Oh another medical procedural But a great original idea folks can't You just can't crack out enough of those can you yeah next We have Fox's Rosewood yet another procedural. This is the first time I've ever heard of it It was when I was reading about it in entertainment weekly I and it was it almost like a little a little blurb and there's this other show and by the way Rosewood is also coming That's gone Thursday night NBC's Heroes Reborn The show that started great then petered out into a lost clone returns. Yes. Why now? Why at all? What's the point? NBC is the player so Wesley Snipes needs to pay his IRS bills and NBC is still amortizing the sets from Las Vegas So here we are. Yeah, welcome back to the Montecito CBS Angel from hell because Jane Lynch isn't doing enough, right? And some just need something to do between those Hollywood game night seasons. Yeah, so she's now doing this. I Don't see this one lasting very long seems more like a CW show I don't know. I thought it seemed more like an ABC family show or something. Yeah, I could see that Yeah, and speaking of ABC on Friday night Dr. Ken so Ken Jeong founds us back from community to a very traditional sitcom. I Think that's a really bad fit for him. Yeah Most people don't know him from community. They would know him from like the bum The hangover the hangover movie Bachelor party that wasn't right, but the problem is he His style of comedy really doesn't fit no traditional sitcom doctor, right, which ironically he is in real life He's a doc. He's an actual doctor. Yeah And we have NBC's truth be told where a black couple and a white couple get real and probably get cancelled You just think everything's getting cancelled What cuz most of them will be cancelled and by the way Right before truth be told is they're bringing back undatable But now it's gonna be live the entire season. Oh my gosh So NBC is gonna have four nights of live programming in prime time now They are just In free fall at this point Then on Saturdays as always the network gave up Lots of reruns and that's all again I say this every year used to be see that Saturday night was the big night That was the night every show wanted to be on and then they went, huh? We had a couple poor showings. Nobody wants to watch TV on Saturday. Yeah, nobody wanted to watch TV on Saturdays So we'll put poorer and poorer shows on. Hey, no one's watching them. Let's just put reruns on It's self-fulfilling. You have seven nights to work with and you've decided and we're just giving that one up Yeah, I don't bother. Yeah So who's first in the dead pool? Oh I'm betting on truth be told I think that's a pretty that you know You know that a rosewood The procedural I never heard of You know, it depends on what shows first Well, that's certainly a point if you're out first out of the gate went by the way as we're taping this a couple shows have already started and We're seeing a lot of shows this next week and by you know early October. They're pretty much all out there so Now there's a lot of other stuff coming out In various other medias besides network TV But we didn't cover that in this one because you know really the fall TV previews are really all about network absolutely and So think about who you think will be the first TV show cancelled and let us know right email us And you can check out our audio podcast how I got my wife treat comics on iTunes or on our website SF podcast network Dot com from the pop culture bunker.
