I haven't follow any news about new series this fall at all. :lol: The only one new show I might check it out is Scream Queens.

Gonna follow How to Get Away With Murder/Haven/The Amazing Race 27/American Horror Story : Hotel (Really excited for this <3) and maybe Survivor since it get hyped SOO much lol. Lots of my fav show don't return until Winter/Spring (Suits, Bates Motel, Pretty Little Liars etc.)

I'll probably try Modern Family since my friends convince me so much. :lol: (It's my second sit-com I watch after my cute Trophy Wife get canceled painfully </3)

Yes. <3 Trophy Wife is AMAZING. I mistakenly watch it because the site accidentally upload its episode as another show. :lol: And I fall in love with it to the level that I go back to watch every episodes before that. <3 It's so fun, light-heart and innocently funny.

I still don't get why it get canceled, while some forced-sitcom like How I Met Your Mother (Sorry if this sounds offensive but I just can't get myself to enjoy this) get to live for like 9 freaking seasons. :res:

But whatsoever, ABC always cut off most of my fav during first season, aka 666 Park Avenue, Ringer, etc. :lol: So it's not really surprising.

Narcos is an amazing new series, almost feels like a documentary!

I also really enjoyed Sense8, Hannibal, Rectify and OITNB as of lately.

Yas Hannibal love <3 <3 <3

How far along have you gotten?

I finished its final ever episode and omg at least they gave it a proper ending *shrugs*

I still don't get why it get canceled, while some forced-sitcom like How I Met Your Mother (Sorry if this sounds offensive but I just can't get myself to enjoy this) get to live for like 9 freaking seasons. :res:

Because ratings make the world go round ;_; (I loved HIMYM tho, even though season 5-7 was RLY bad)

And Trophy Wife was in the 8:00 PM Tuesday Timeslot, commonly DOA for ABC shows.

Speaking of ABC first-season cancellations, Selfie and Missing crushed me tbh ;_;

This year is really underwhelming so far =/

The only good new shows were Quantico/Scream Queens/Muppets, almost everything else fell flat! :(

Only thing I'm really watching on the side is *The Muppets* and I love it, it's really my humour!

Agreed!

The entire thing also reminds me a lot of 30 Rock, and considering how much I miss 30 Rock (both shows have the same concept of the lives of the cast and crew of a late night live show), the Muppets is a charming and adorable replacement.

I also love how they're slowly integrating the entire giant Muppet ensemble week-by-week. Even though I think this characterization of Kermit is kinda going into the territory of Kermit the Prick, it all works a lot and nails the Muppet-style humor of slapstick combined with some hilariously corny puns and lines. Hope it does well!

And if anyone watched 30 Rock:
Show content
Kermit=Liz
Miss Piggy=Jenna
Gonzo=Pete
Scooter=Kenneth
Fozzie=Tracy

Now all we need is the Muppet equivalent to Jack Donaghy (Sam Eagle is close but not quite there!) :lol:

The Muppets is an amazing show, it does NOT deserve the dropping ratings ;___;

Hopefully it goes up soon, last episode was PHENOMENAL.

Recently started The IT Crowd on Netflix, it's really good!

It's like a smarter Big Bang Theory which hasn't been good since season six lol.

It's only about 22 episodes for the whole series since it is a British sitcom, but I'm looking forward to finishing it.

Also looking forward to "Powerless", apparently it's an upcoming DC Comics workplace sitcom with Vanessa Hudgens as the lead and it's about people working for the heroes behind the scenes, hopefully it's good and it joins Superstore in the start of an NBC comedy renaissance!

It is so awesome that you are a new I.T Crowd fan gamer. I watched all of the episodes on Netflix earlier in the year and I loved it too (no spoilers but my personal favourite episodes are "Work Outing", "The Final Countdown" and "The Internet Is Coming" (the series finale))

I also loved Superstore (can't wait for S2 of Supperstore) while I haven't seen any promos on Powerless, I am willing to give it a go (manily because you think it looks good)

Halfway through season 1 of Brooklyn 99 and find it good for a quick laugh! Episodes are short so I find them great to just take a break from college work and watch them. The best part is all the characters are lovable in their own way! And it's not so intense on my brain :lol:

omg I'm on Season Three now and yes, Work Outing is one of the best sitcom episodes of all time :lol: <3

It's just so well-woven together! It's like, even the smallest of things at the start of the episode had a payoff and I was LITERALLY in tears during everything with the disabled :lol: :lol: :lol: <3

I also really love The Haunting of Bill Crouser, easily #2 favourite episode! The entire scene near the ending where Jen walks in the rain gave me stomach cramps :lol:

It's an amazing show, but honestly the rest of season 2 post-Moss and the German was just okay =/

Having heard that season three is great though gives me hope. Time to watch! ;D

Glad to see you enjoyed Brooklyn 99 <3

And yeah, I agree, unlike other workplace comedies like The Office (which had Andy Bernard) and Parks and Rec (which had Chris Traeger), Brooklyn Nine Nine's ensemble is STELLAR in its entirety, definitely one of the best casting on any show PERIOD. Everyone just really brings it! ;D

Watched the first episode of The Characters which is Netflix's new comedy show. I would use the word comedy extremely loosely for the first episode because it was dire. I feel like I should watch the rest as the skits are different each episode (different comedian per episode) and maybe I just didn't like that one. But if they follow the same mark as the first episode I'll be calling it a day after the next one.

Has anyone tried Flaked yet? Might look at that instead.

I love Arrested Development, so when I saw Mitchell Hurwitz (the creator of AD) and Will Arnett (GOB on AD), I was excited.

Unfortunately I tried three episodes and it was such a snoozefest. If you're gonna try it out I suppose just check out AD instead :tup:

AD is on my list to try once I get through the first season of Brooklyn Nine Nine which I've nearly done :lol:

Finally finished The IT Crowd, and even though I thought the quality between Season 3 and 4 was pretty uneven, I loved the series finale and ultimately I really loved it, one of the best comedies I've ever seen!

I know the creator also made Father Ted... does anyone know if it's any good? :lol:

If you ask any other Irish person than me they would probably say yes. It's a pretty old series though!

I'm currently watching Twin Peaks and Friday Night Lights lol. But both are good shows, although I can hear Rihanna singing "Where have you been?" in my ear right now. I watch the episode of each shows alternately.

I can't really wait to see Agent Dale Cooper gracing my screen again next year
