New Shows Part 2

Last week, I did a review/preview of the upcoming/now here new TV season.

Glee - I can't believe I forgot about this last week. It just proves that I watch way too much television. Even though the song selection wasn't to my liking, there was enough going on here that I didn't mind so much. The school gained a new, female football coach after Ken had a nervous breakdown. Even though it wasn't said, it was probably because of the fallout from April ditching him on their wedding day. Some of my favorite quotes were from Brittany. There was this gem from the beginning, where the story was framed by Jacob, in which Brittany describes her summer vacation: "People thought I went on vacation, but actually I spent the summer lost in the sewers." Classic. Again, not sure, but this almost seems like a reference to the Goonies...
Anyway, the next episode focuses on Brit where they sing Britney Spears' songs all episode. Wooh...kinda sick of the theme shows. And now there's supposed to be a second Madonna episode. Great.

The Big Bang Theory- This one was an odd duck. I'm sure I've said that phrase before, possibly even about another TV show, but it's true. There was just something...off about this one's season premiere. I think part of it was delivery, in that it almost felt like the characters were the actors playing the characters playing the characters. Sound confusing? It should. However, the show was still pretty funny, even if it was predictable.

Supernatural - This was the show I was most excited about, since it is one of my favorite shows and I just couldn't fathom where they could possibly go from the end of last season. And it really didn't do much. The producers (since I believe original creator and showrunner Eric Kripke is now hands-off on the show) said that it was going to be back to basics like in the first season, before any of the apocalypse stuff started showing up. And that wasn't entirely accurate. Yes, it does seem like it's moving back to the monster of the week format of season one, but they've already set up a number of storylines such as the Winchester boys' grandfather also coming back with Sam, who doesn't know who pulled him out of the Devil's Box and "a whole bunch of demons are going crazy...including some things no one has seen before." Super. Like Scrubs, the intended end of the series is probably going to be better than the actual ending if the first episode is any indication.

Also note, I still haven't had a chance to watch Smallville, though I've heard some great things about the episode.

There were some other things I wanted to mention, too, but I can't remember what they are. Oh well, such is life.
