Members sheilaforever Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 Of course not. Following the peck makes life so much easier... I got tons of shows on stand-by (which I really want to watch and know that they are great) so that I've been very hesitant for 4 years now to check out anything new. In order to watch one of the newbie shows I either rely on very positive reviews or a mass audience. If not I probably would have skipped on MODERN FAMILY or HOT IN CLEVELAND which I consider two of my favorite shows these days. However, if a show does not initially captivate me like "Good Wife" I drop it immediately. So I do sometimes still have my own mind. LOL Ratings buzz That Tom Selleck cop show scored HUGE on Friday apparently in both total viewers and demographics. Considering the DOA timeslot this seems to be the biggest surprise hit so far...

Members DRW50 Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 People will say that still isn't good enough because of the 18-49. The obsession with that never ends. Tom Selleck is some kind of a national institution so I guess people were waiting for him to come back. I wonder if this validates the changes he made in the show's format. I guess it also proves that Friday night TV still has a chance when someone makes an effort. As for Cougar Town, I have never understood why this got through or why they had that awful, dated in five minutes title. Courtney Cox shouldn't be headlining her own series anyway IMO.

Members Sylph Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 I was joking, which should've been clear from the smiley. Anyway, I have written off all the sitcoms from the time of Will & Grace onwards and my life has been so much easier. The only exceptions are My Name Is Tina Fey and I'm Exceptional & The Big Bang Theory. The others can just be too weird, grotesque, bordering on if not outright sick shows so I have no interest in that. Or... they're dull, the premise doesn't intrigue me. I've just read about TS and wanted to post about it, I guess CBS will always be a procedurals network... :yawn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 I've gone on overload this year with comedy shows... Mike and Molly, Cougar Town, Modern Family, The Middle, Better with You, Raising Hope, Running Wilde, [!@#$%^&*] My Dad Says... So far the only pilots that impressed me were Better with You and Raising Hope. Also, the sophomore shows are all fine, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 It was my last sitcom, too. I just did not get any sense of humor from comdedies in recnet years. 30 Rock and Modern Family brought me back last year (and I admit that I do watch Cougar Town for the silliness and it has gotten a lot better in the second half of season 1) and for Betty White's sake I took a glimpse at Hot In Cleveland. I still don't like any other old-fashioned multi-camera sitcom on TV these days; I've probably grown out of liking these, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 Correct. The humour is downright barbarous or, if not, dull & lifeless. Not that Will & Grace was an epic masterpiece of comedy writing, it wasn't, but tons better than much of the recent stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 26, 2010 Members Share Posted September 26, 2010 A lot of the sitcoms now are so offensive, especially on CBS. That has jaded me enough to where I haven't bothered to watch the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 Damn, close to 13 million viewers on a Friday night? If these numbers continue, they may consider changing the night. Which would mean one of two things: The show gets even bigger ratings, or it plummets. Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
