It is that time of year again! Time to talk TV and the fall TV
season...Let's jump into Monday night of the fall 2016 season!
Don’t forget, I’m incredibly biased. I’ll try to watch everything
at some point, but believe it or not, I don’t watch as much TV as I used to.
Shocking, I know.
Ruh-roh...when you use your blog spot only once a year, updates
seems to make it hard for me to be cool and show you the Monday schedule in
total. Let me try again....
Okay, maybe that will work.
Or not. I can’t figure out why it won’t.
Balls.
Here’s what I know, besides the fact that
there are only three new shows this night.
There isn’t a lot of change. Sure, Supergirl
changed networks and Scorpion moved to 10, but other than that, not huge
change.
ABC. Dancing with Stars. It premiered last
week and they are probably getting a bit of bump with Ryan Lochte on the cast.
I predict the other Olympian will win.
NEW: Conviction is about a former
first daughter who is attempting to avoid jail
for a cocaine bust by using her lawyer smarts to join the New York DA’s “Conviction Integrity Unit, which investigates
potentially erroneous incarcerations.” She’s a bit of a smartass with a bad
attitude, and the people she’s working with don’t exactly get along with her.
Stars the gal who played Agent Peggy Carter on the show of the same name. Looks
moderately interesting. I know, I’m selling it hardcore here.
CBS. Scorpion moves
to 10 p.m. Other than that, comedies. Speaking of which, Kevin James, aka the
King of Queens, and Matt LeBlanc, Joey from Friends are back in the house.
NEW: Kevin Can Wait has Kevin James starring as a retired cop who
realizes life at home is harder than life on the streets. He must not be
watching the news as much. Hilarity ensues from familial hijinx. Joey Tribianni
is back on TV as a contractor who stays at home once his wife returns to work.
He discovers his kids are the worst and builds a safe room to hide from them.
Just kidding on that last part, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens.
Because sitcoms are often predictable. That being said, with those two names,
people are bound to watch. I know I will.
CW. Supergirl moved
networks and got a revamped look; I liked the first season. Jane is still a
virgin going into season 3, but since she was married at the end of season 2, I
don’t see that lasting too much longer. Em and I binge watched on Hulu this
summer.
Fox. They are dark
on Mondays. Meaning dark Gotham and dark Lucifer. I must confess, I haven’t
seen Lucifer yet. I’m in the dark on this one. Other than he’s Lucifer.
NBC. I’m switching
my allegiance to The Voice, now that I can’t watch American Idol. Plus, maybe
it was all the hours I logged in with Hannah Montana, but I’m excited for Miley
to join the judge’s chairs. Couple that with Alicia Keyes and the bromance, and
I’m willing to give up my Mondays.
NEW: The peacock is giving up Timeless, which has a band of time
traveler’s going through, well, time,
chasing after a bad guy who is trying to muck up history. This is a big budget
extravaganza—should get some major views and if done well will hold on.
Holly’s verdict: I
think things will largely stay the same as far as shows for the year on this
night. ABC will really push Conviction, but I doubt it’s staying power. If
Timeless gets too expensive, then NBC will let it go or move it to the Sci-Fi
channel. CBS likes their Monday block of comedies, so I see them enjoying their
new rotation. Kevin James is getting the most buzz on this night.
Here's the link to the calendar that I tried to paste in:

The Big Bang Theory has moved to Mondays, important info for me. Thank goodness I can watch Scorpion the next day via computer because 10;00 is way too late for me....and thank goodness you blogged or else I would not have looked for Scorpion!
