40 Posts In 40 Weekdays: Fall TV Cheat Sheet

Hey friends, the past two weeks have been insanely busy. I'll post more on the writing career later, but please know that the time away from the blog has been used towards productivity and the general betterment of mankind. I mean, I haven't even touched my DVR nor myself in about a week, and you all know how incredibly important both activities are to me. In the words of Elvis Costello, I'm a "man out of time."

Speaking of, if you haven't already, please do check out my "time" playlist and let me know what you think.

Anyway, I'll finish up my Fall TV Preview series soon, and perhaps a Musical Monday or Tunerrific Tuesday is in the works for next week, but in the meantime, check out this Fall TV Cheat Sheet I took part in last week.

LEGEND
1 - Don’t waste your time unless you find ACCORDING TO JIM ‘funny’
2 - Not great but at least doesn’t offend me.
3 - Fun to watch if nothing else is on.
4 - Has potential. Worth a second look.
5 - Set your TiVo to Season’s Pass!
N/A - Haven’t watched yet.

The fine folks over at The TV Addict and TapeWorthy surveyed a group of bloggers, including myself, to rank all the new fall shows. BuzzSugar, DaemonsTV, DuckyDoesTV, GiveMeMyRemote, GlowyBox, MikeyLikesTV, ScooterMcGavin, Seat42f, TapeWorthy, theTVaddict, TiFaux and TubeTalk all participated.

The cheat sheet above will hopefully help you in your DVR decision making. Of course, the only column you really need to look at is mine. Because I'm always right. Sophia, are you reading this? I'm ALWAYS effing right. Just kidding. I don't know any Sophias.

Anyway, let me know what you think in the comments!

The graph is nice, but the color scheme is really confusing. 1 and 4 look almost exactly alike. They should have coded the colors so they went from cold to hot, or something similar.

Yay for the 5s all around on Pushing Daisies. I'm really excited about that show.

Sorry, we actually meant to switch colours exactly for that reason but then real world jobs got in the way and we needed it out by the premiere week.

Still, I love that we all put 5's for Pushing Daisies! woohoo! Now let's hope some people actually watch.

Okay some of these people may have been high when they watched the shows. Some really bad ones are rated way high. And vice versa.

But never yours of course.

Glad to see that Pushing Daisies got 5's across the board. It's the ONLY new show I am watching this season. I'm very picky about what I watch. :)

Hey, groovy. Aside from the too obvious ending, the first episode of Chuck was a lot of fun, I thought. But you're always right, so my head must still be up my own ass.

I'm glad you posted this, tho. Last night I saw a commercial for "Pushing Daisies" and thought it looked *horrible*. But after seeing all the 5s here, I'll be sure to check it out.

I agree w/ you about Gossip Girl. I loved the second episode.

Wow, no pressure for Pushing Daisies. :)

So far, I've really enjoyed Chuck, Reaper, Bionic Woman, and Private Practice. I'll check out Journeyman and Life again as they were different and could grow on me.

Couldn't get into Dirty Sexy Money or Gossip Girl. Big Shots was disappointing, but I hear (Ausiello) that it's going to get better, so I might check it out again.

Can't wait for Pushing Daisies as I loved Dead Like Me. And I checked out Moonlight this evening. Okay, it's no Angel or Buffy and kinda similar to Forever Knight, but it has potential.

Thanks for the grid and ratings Cap't!!

I've been meaning to ask what your opinions are about the Grey's Anatomy Season 3 Soundtrack.

Based on that graph. The only opinion that's worth a grain of salt is Tube Talk's.

hey, this is very random. but i noticed you liked radiohead, have you pre-ordered their new cd? it looks awesome, check out their site if you haven't already- inrainbows.com

that's what the cd is called
look up the cd on wiki too, it explains it pretty well

You didn't like Chuck? I'm curious why...I mean, it's Josh Schwartz, man! Although admittedly, I'm not really following the whole NSA vs CIA thing.
