Once again, CBS’s lineup is so solid that only six new shows are offered for the fall. This is a testament to the programming geniuses at CBS. Case and point—three shows survived last year: Mike & Molly, Hawaii Five-0, and Blue Bloods. This is really good, considering they didn’t offer very many new shows last year, either.
So here are my pics from CBS. Only one doesn’t make the cut.
2 Broke Girls (Monday at 7:30)—Hmmm. Not terribly excited about this one. It seems to have its mildly funny moments, but I kind of think it’s a little over-acted. Not feeling it.
Unforgettable (Tuesday at 9)—I’m in. This looks really different and really good. The main character remembers everything. She can recall every day, every conversation, and nearly every detail. As someone who is frequently accused of having a freakish memory, I can’t wait to see this show. PLUS the male lead is none other than Dr. Shawn McNamara from Nip/Tuck (Dylan Walsh). I missed the good doctor.
How to be a Gentleman (Thursday at 8:30)—This show seems kind of silly, but the previews cracked me up. Something about it is endearing. It’s not really my kind of show, but I’m giving it a three episode trial period to see. Essentially, the show is about a nerdy guy that needs help being cool, so he enlists the help of a former high school classmate that is now a personal trainer. We shall see about this one…
Person of Interest (Thursday at 8)—I must admit, I can’t really figure out what this show is about. CBS didn’t offer very detailed previews for this one. But, it’s just creepy and mysterious enough to pique my interest. Michael Emerson plays a super nerd that invented software that can identify people that are about to be involved in violent crimes; Jim Caviezel plays an ex-CIA agent that has to find and prevent these crimes. So it’s kind of like a non-cape, non-Batmobile, super power-free, modern day Batman and Robin.
A Gifted Man (Friday at 10)—A driven doctor is visited by his recently deceased ex-wife, who needs him to carry on her work. It may sound strange to some, but I’m the girl that never missed an episode of The Ghost Whisperer. Paranormal shows really appeal to me. It stars Patrick Wilson, and I’m not really a big fan of his. Something about him creeps me out and I can’t figure out why.
So here’s a look at our CBS shows, listed by night and time:
Sunday: The Good Wife. (New night and time). Scott still watches The Amazing Race, but I grew tired of it.
Monday: How I met Your Mother and Hawaii Five-0. (Although it was good, I wasn’t crazy enough about Mike & Molly to keep it in the que. All the fat jokes made the pregnant lady self conscious.)
Tuesday: Unforgettable
Wednesday: Nothing for me, but Scott is a Survivor loyal.
Thursday: The Big Bang Theory, How to Be a Gentleman, Person of Interest
Friday: A Gifted Man
