A look back at Fall 2006 TV

Published by cardboardbox at 9:18 am under tv shows Edit This

Before I get into my run down of what I’m watching this fall, here’s a list of what I was watching last fall. It looks like a lot but I didnt watch many of the new shows very long and thanks to having a DVR, each hour long episode is reduced to 42 minutes.

These was my list of new shows to definitely watch:
Heroes - The only new show that is back for a second season.

Vanished/Kidnapped - Had planned to watch one but not both. Vanished sucked, and both were cancelled quickly.

Smith - Awesome pilot, somewhat lackluster next 2-3 eps, then disappeared. Had high hopes for this one since it had Ray Liotta.

The Unit - Tried it, didnt like the family stuff but really liked the actual combat. Couldnt get into it due to the family stuff.

The Nine - Actually watched this one until it was yanked from the schedule. Had tons of hype but didn’t appear to have any desire to move the plot forward more than a couple steps per episode which made it hard to watch. Had the problem of characters knowing infinitely more than the viewers. Very Lost-ish in those aspects but a lot worse.

Jericho - Tried it, didnt like Little House on the Nuclear Wasteland type stories. Just awful so I gave up. Props to the fans for getting a partial second season after it was cancelled.

New shows that I was going to watch if I had time:
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - Some impressive dialogue but overall boring. Actually surprised no one watched it, didnt expect cancellation.

Justice - This one was very good and I hate lawyer shows (but love a good Denny Crane scene). Unfortunately didnt make it past midseason aftering being yanked around on Fox’s schedule.

Survivor - Not a new show but I never watched much before. And I didn’t watch this one either.

Returning shows:
Desperate Housewives
Amazing Race
Prison Break
Lost
Nip/Tuck
