My suggestion is to invest in a Hulu+ subscription. -----Original Message----- From: "PGage" <[email protected]> Sent: 9/21/2014 6:43 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [TV orNotTV] Help For DVR Decisions on New Shows
I find I am focusing in on the new Fall shows later and later - with only 1 or 2 exceptions, I really had no awareness of most of these. I found a quick guide on the WaPo that listed 25 new shows (well, 26, but I am leaving off "Transparent" which I will be watching, but is streamed on Amazon). Based on those descriptions and recommendations, and my own sometimes perverse predilections, I have assigned them to 4 categories: "Definitely record", "Trial record" (which also means they will likely loose any recording face-off decisions with higher ranked shows; the notation "sucker" here means I gather from the critics this is probably a dog, but since I am a sucker for this kind of show I will probably try to watch it to decide for myself. Several to many of these will probably either not survive face-off decisions, or never get watched by me as they build up on my DVR and I hear bad word of mouth); "Probably Not" (open to upgrading if I get strong recommendations from others) and "No" (will not record even if others say it is great - may watch in a few years if proven wrong). This list is supposed to include all new dramas and sitcoms, but not reality shows or specials. I am soliciting any quick hits on any of these, especially those with recommendations to move up or down programs I have placed in the middle two categories: Yes 1. Madam Secretary 2. Gotham Trial 1. Survivor's Remorse 2. Jane The Virgin 3. Forever (still grieving premature loss of “Amsterdam”) 4. Gracepoint (I never saw Broadchurch, so I might try this first) 5. NCIS: New Orleans (sucker) 6. State of Affairs (sucker) 7. Scorpion (sucker) 8. Stalker (sucker) 9. Selfie (This would be “No", but Karen Gilian, so…) Probably Not 1. Blackish 2. Cristela 3. Mulaney 4. The Affair 5. The Flash 6. The Mysteries of Laura No 1. How To Get Away With Murder 2. Marry Me 3. Bad Judge 4. Manhattan Love Story 5. A to Z 6. Red Band Society 7. The McCarthys 8. Constantine -- -- TV or Not TV ....
