Television Premieres and Notables: January 19-25, 2015
Monday, 1/19
Jane the Virgin; The CW. 8 pm CST. Midseason Return.
I am not completely caught up with this show, but what I have seen thus far is wonderful.
Believe the hype.
Yes it's silly in a soap operatic way, but it's so charming. Worth checking out.
The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore; Comedy Central. 10:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
The Venture Bros; [adult swim]. 11 pm CST. Special.
This special hour-long episode gives Season 5 a little better ending-- and keeps the fires burning for whenever Season 6 happens.
Tuesday, 1/20
The Flash; The CW. 7 pm CST. Midseason Return.
I binged on most of the first half of this show a week ago, and I have to say I really like it.
It has its faults, but I like the care taken with the show and the supervillains, which have a little mix of one-offs and recurring characters. And they got some pretty good actors for the "name" villains, so it's exciting to know some of them will be back.
But all in all, it's just awesome to have a guy doing this superheroing gig because it's the right thing to do. And Barry enjoys being The Flash. Not a lot of angst with him.
Of course, a lot of comic book superhero angst comes from the secret identity, and DC's live action media is definitely taking another approach to secret identities-- like not really having one.
Jesus-- I mean Iris is pretty much the only major person in Barry;s life that doesn't know he's The Flash.
But it's cool.
The Short Game; Esquire. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Eight elementary school aged kids who aspire to be pro golfers are the stars of this reality show.
Justified; FX. 9 pm CST. 6th and Final Season Premiere.
This is it: the beginning of the end.
It's going to be Raylan vs. Boyd by the end of the season.
Wednesday, 1/21
Arrow; The CW. 7 pm CST. Midseason Return.
Considering what happened in the Fall Finale, I wonder what the name of the show will be in the future...
American Horror Story (FX; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Thursday, 1/22
Backstrom; Fox. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Rainn Wilson stars as an antisocial detective.
Not many of those in TV land right now, are there...?
Bad Judge (NBC; 8 pm CST). Series Finale.
It wasn't great, but it was fun in its own way.
A to Z (NBC; 8:30 pm CST). Series Finale.
I made it through the pilot. Just barely...
Morgan Spurlock Inside Man; CNN.8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
I know Spurlock rubs some people the wrong way, but I found last season of this show to be pretty interesting.
Certainly not up to par with his wonder show 30 Days, but he's still trying to shed a light on problems in our society.
Nightwatch; A&E. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Dick Wolf brings us this series about the New Orleans emergency services night shift .
Friday, 1/23
King of the Nerds; TBS. 8 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
Saturday, 1/24
Black Sails; Starz. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
