Wow! Wednesday already! (And shout out to my girl--happy birthday!)

With only two new TV series to write about, maybe this will be my shortest blog of the week!

CBS has their show that I say is guaranteed to do so very well. SEAL Team stars David Boreanaz (Angel, Booth...sigh), the leader of a Navy SEAL team. While yes, they will go on missions every week, the catch behind the show is that it focuses on their personal lives and the problems their intense job brings to trying to have one. I mean, with the CBS demographic, this is going to be ginormous. Slam dunk. And totally J+.

The only other new show is a reboot. Which I might have to go on a rant about at some point. Okay, now is that point. I love TV, I really do, but I’m not sure why everything has to have a reboot. Some are more worthy than others, and I’m thinking a retelling of the Colbys and Carringtons isn’t the most appointment TV around. I’ve read some critical pans and one positive gotta watch it review, but I’m going to skip it, even though they’ve modernized the show a lot and moved it to Atlanta. My guess is that it won’t do well, but you never know in this crazy Kardashian obsessed world.

Wednesday's News & Notes:

--We enjoyed Speechless last year, but didn’t stay too loyal to it through the course of the entire season; we are huge Modern Family fans--that's not going to change any time soon. I tried Designated Survivor, but I got bored with the story--even though it was intriguing, I thought it moved a little slowly overall. I mean, other than when they blew up the US Capitol.

--Survivor. I know what a lot of you will be watching. Same with Criminal Minds.

--Everything else on Fox and NBC is coming back, so if you’ve enjoyed previously, continue to do so….

--We probably need to take a minute to talk about Riverdale. Em and I binge watched it last spring--there were only 13 episodes--and we loved it. This season it is back with a full 24, so it will be interesting to see if it does as well this year. For those of you not in the know, it is a dark and twisty version of the Archie comic world. And it is good--VERY GOOD--. Especially for those of you who might be missing 90210 or something like that...and yes, Luke Perry plays Archie’s dad, thus sealing the deal for some of us of a certain generation.

Happy Viewing--enjoy the mid-point of the week!


Update on Monday viewing:
While the new Sheldon show will have huge numbers, and the kid who plays young Sheldon is very good, they are messing with the cannon behind The Big Bang Theory. Might be a tough sell for hardcore fans. I wasn't that impressed, but it also isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Currently watching The Good Doctor. Initial impression is that it will be worth some of the effort. I'm enjoying...
