What will you be watching on Sunday nights ?
By fred | August 31, 2008
It’s happening… fall season is around the corner, some series are already returning, so let’s use this week to have yet again a look at our future fall schedule. Sunday night is usually a big night, and there’s no reason to change that. We still need to get ready for the huge Monday night that follows…
First, a look at what’s to come…
* At 8.00 The CW launches Valentine on September 21st; and of course Homer and his family returns on The Simpsons starting September 28th on Fox.
* At 8.30 King Of The Hill is back on the same September 28th, on Fox of course.
* At 9.00 the much talked-about True Blood (from Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball) premieres on HBO September 7th; there’ll also be another new series on The CW, Easy Money, premiering September 21st; and it’s of course the return of ABC hit Desperate Housewives, CBS drama Cold Case and the crazy folks of Family Guy on Fox, all back September 28th.
* As expected, American Dad will be back at 9.30 starting September 28th.
* At 10.00 the boys of Entourage will finally be back after being away for too long, kicking off the fifth season on September 7th; Brothers & Sisters will be back on ABC starting September 28th, while The Unit is moving to Sundays on the same September 28th.
Then, what I’ll be watching…
On Sundays I will be happy to welcome back The Simpsons and of course Family Guy, I’ll probably keep recording Cold Case even though I still haven’t watched last season. I know the show is good and I like it when I watch it, but I just too find myself needing to watch it, so I often forget or watch something else first…
On another note, I think I might be done with Desperate Housewives. It’s not the strike, or a too busy schedule or anything like that, it’s the show. It was never really that good to me, but somehow I kept watching it.
I used to think that at least one story would always sound real and truthful, Lynette and her family. While the rest of the housewives were stuck in stories more silly and unrealistic, and, more often than none, just repeats of what’s been done in previous seasons, at least under that one house things were different. But this isn’t even the case anymore, and that last “twist”, the jump into the future, is just a terrible idea.
Moving on, I used to be pretty excited about True Blood, but not so much anymore. The reason why? I simply got to watch an early screener of the pilot, and it wasn’t really good. I liked some of the ideas in the show, for starter contrary to what we see in most vampire shows, here’s everybody knows about them, that they’re here and living amongst us. It’s a cool idea, but after one very long hour I couldn’t tell you really what the show is about, what do people want, or what it’ll be like, except - if this episode was any indication - not really interesting, boring, but if you’re curious about the Louisiana Southern accent at least you got that covered!
And of course I’m really excited about the return of Entourage - how long has it been? Like six years??
And finally, you!
That was my take, but what will you be watching on Sunday nights ? Any shows you’re particularly excited about ?? Let us know in the comments below!
