Walking Dead Sing-along

This is pretty brilliant.
If you aren't into curb-stomping or zombie head mutilation, you may want to pass...

Day of The Doctor trailer

I really dig this one. The BBC really knows how to get us excited for the 50th...

Love all the Easter Eggs in it.

Television Premieres and Notables: October 21-27, 2013

Sooo, we're hip-deep in the new TV season.

My very brief thoughts:

Mom: great cast; lazy writing. Gave it three eps and dropped it.

The Blacklist: wanted to like it; Spader is great. But I barely even looked up when the second ep was on; couldn't tell you anything about it. Ain't no one got time for that. Done.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: You'd think a show "spun-off" from a billion dollar film would have a bigger budget... But Clark Gregg is holding the rapidly-gelling cast together so far, and he hits the moments he needs to in order to keep the plots going, so I'm sticking with it. I think it's just going to get better.

The Goldbergs: This is my favorite new show of the season. I find it tremendously entertaining.

The Crazy Ones: A quiet comedy. Not great, but solid.

Sean Saves the World: I couldn't get fifteen minutes into it. The laugh track was distracting-- and just enhanced the fact that the show is not funny.

The Michael J Fox Show : I like the small moments that keep this show going, and MJF still has that charisma that made him such a well-loved star.

Super Fun Night: I'm sticking with it for now, but don't find it all that funny or charming yet. But I see potential...

The Neighbors: Not a new show, but one that barely got a second season-- and grabbed the chance by the throat. Every episode is killing it. The ladies are getting more A-Plots, and that's been a good thing. This is my favorite comedy right now.


Anyway: what's new this week?
