My tv schedule for this year

[frelling_tralk]

I just got more interested in The Good Wife spin-off, although I can't actually link to the deadline website for some reason, LJ keeps calling it spam? But I read an article on there today which makes The Good Wife spin-off sound promising enough that it will most definitely be on my watch-list in February


We can reveal exclusively details about the premise of CBS All Access’ much anticipated The Good Wife spinoff series, which has added a fan favorite. Sarah Steele, who recurred on the mothership series, will co-star opposite Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo in the spinoff, co-created and executive produced by The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King.

As previously announced, the spinoff will pick up one year after the events of the final episode of The Good Wife, with Baranski and Quinn reprising their roles as Diane Lockhart and Lucca Quinn, respectively. Here is the news – the spinoff series will center around an enormous financial scam that has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor Diane Lockhart’s savings. Forced out of Lockhart & Lee, they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago’s preeminent law firms.

Steele will reprise her role as Eli Gold’s (Alan Cumming) smart and outspoken daughter Marissa Gold. In the spinoff, she is a brilliant but scattered millennial who begins as Diane Lockhart’s secretary, but finds she has a knack for investigating. The character will continue the original series’ tradition of strong and sassy female investigators, following in the footsteps of Kalinda and Robyn.

The 10-episode The Good Wife spinoff will premiere in February on CBS — its original network — before its episodes are released on CBS’ SVOD and live streaming platform All Access. Robert and Michelle King, who co-wrote the opening episode of the spinoff with Phil Alden Robinson, recently boarded the series as full-time showrunners/executive producers, roles they had on the original series for its entire seven-season run.



Other new shows I plan to check out are Luke Cage, The Good Place, and The Gilmore Girls revival. And then my returning shows are The Vampire Diaries, iZombie, The Big Bang Theory, Empire, and Pretty Little Liars. I also need to start catching up with From Dusk Till Dawn and Wentworth


How about everyone else, what shows are people planning on watching this year? :)

Deadline , for whatever reason, is on LJ's list of unapproved sites.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

It's very strange, it just kept coming up as spam whenever I tried to post the link, even though it clearly is a reputable site :shrug:

[rathanylakan.livejournal.com]

There was legal action between Deadline and LJ over people reposting their articles here. Now people repost without linking back and Deadline can't tell.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Hmm that seems shaky ground legally if people were linking back to Deadline, I always thought that it was allowed to quote from other sites so long as you credit the source?

[rathanylakan.livejournal.com]

There used to be a trend on fannish sites to copy/paste whole articles to save people from having to go to ad heavy sites with lots of javascript, that may be hard for people to load. Deadline can't always tell if we do that or not, but can tell if we link. So, now we can't link so we almost have to just repost their stuff. It's a silly situation. Sometimes they are the only source for news I want to post, so I write out the url like ' dead line dot com'


I have no idea if deadline really has a case, just that LJ is trying to avoid trouble.

I'm still not really interested (mostly due to the low quality of the last two seasons), but I'll see what people have to say about it.

I intend to check out Timeless, as well as Luke Cage and Dirk Gently. Somehow, all the other new shows that might interest me are mid-season.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I've been feeling a bit burnt-out definitely and not all that excited, but hearing that it will be Diane, Lucca, and Marissa as the three leads has now caught my interest, and the premise sounds promising with them all working at a new law firm. Also the fact that it's only ten episodes is hopefully a good sign for the quality staying high

[bm-shipper.livejournal.com]

I'll be watching so much but half of it probably will get cancelled anyway. But I do hope SHawn Ashmore's show lasts and I'm looking forward to the return of Chicago Med and also happy to get Daniel Sunjata back on my screen :)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I really need to find more new shows to watch, but not that many premises are catching my interest at the moment tbh. But a lot of my shows are ageing now and will be ending soon, so I do need to find new stuff to watch as well

Well I do have Doctor Who next year at least, and again next year I want to check out American Gods and Cruel Intentions (which is supposedly possibly airing in summer 2017), but that show probably isn't going to last too long judging by how much interest NBC has shown so far :(

[bearshorty.livejournal.com]

The only new show that I will check out will be Luke Cage. (And Gilmore Girls, but I don't see it as a new show). Otherwise I'm watching Supernatural,  Supergirl, Grimm and Modern Family. And Flash Season 2 on Netflix. Then in June I will catch up on Agents of Shield Season 3. I might watch the pilot of "This is Us" only beause the characters are my age!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Gilmore Girls is tricky to classify, it's not even a new season of a show really, it sounds like it's going to be more like four mini movies? I'm really looking forward to it anyway, I've been re-watching the series recently in preparation! :D

[liliaeth]

Not sure on new shows, I will watch Luke Cage of course, Coulter was awesome on jessica Jones, but I'm also definitely sticking with Underground, Izombie, Lucifer, Supernatural, the Flash and Supergirl

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm really looking forward to Luke Cage, I read a review recently talking about how it's the best of the Marvel shows so far :)

And I've been thinking that I might give the second season of Lucifer a shot actually. I watched the pilot and liked the actor, I just didn't feel inclined to keep watching if it was going to be set up as more of a detective show, but I've been reading some positive comments about the season 1 finale recently that have me intrigued, so I might try giving it another shot

[liliaeth]

well I liked Lucifer from the start, mostly for the sake of the chemistry between Tom Ellis and DB Woodside, but the further along the show got in the first season, the more serial elements emerged, especially in regards to Lucifer's character development, his relationship with the other characters, especially Chloe, Amenadiel, Maze, Doctor Linda and Trixie, and how all the characters interact with one another, even outside of Lucifer himself. That and you get a storyline about Chloe, that ends up intersecting with Lucifer in a really interesting way.

But for me the best part of the show by far is the brotherly relationship between Lucifer and Amenadiel. There's just something special about how those two brothers interact, and both love and hate one another in equal measures, but how it's clear that in the end, they do deeply care what happens to the other. And the set up for s2 is just plain out awesome.

Ooh. The spinoff sounds good. I still need to finish TGW first though.

Luke Cage is definitely topping my list. And I'm not a fan of comedies, but I'll probably check out The Good Place anyways for Kristen Bell. I tend to watch the first few eps of most if not all of the primetime dramas, though I drop a lot of them after a few eps though, and just stick w/ what I end up liking.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

How far into TGW are you? :)

And Kristen Bell is why I'm interested in The Good Place too, I've always found her very likeable and charming, so it should be fun to see her in this type of role

[rathanylakan.livejournal.com]

I am excited for fall TV as I really want a new show to sink my teeth into, but the only one I am specifically looking forward to is Siffy's Candle Cove adaptation.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard of that show, is it based on a book? :)

[rathanylakan.livejournal.com]

It's based on a Creepy Pasta, those copy paste horror stories that become a trend a while back. Candle Cove is a popular one, and one where people know who the original author was.

If you want to read it: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Candle_Cove :)

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSSSS @ more Marissa. I can't believe TGW is reeling me in AGAIN, smh.

Hope you enjoy FDTD!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Heh same, I was really meh on the idea of a spin-off at first, but it's actually sounding pretty cool now that more info is coming out. And the fact that it's a shortened season hopefully means that they'll really be able to work on keeping the quality consistent, and telling a well-paced story.

[moongirl24.livejournal.com]

I wasn't too impressed when I watched the trailers for this season's new shows, but I want to check out Frequency and Conviction because both of them seem pretty good. And I think I might check out This is Us because if this show turns out to be good, it could be my kind of show. Will probably check out Luke Cage at some point since I'm already watching Jessica Jones and Daredevil, but it might not happen right away. Depends on how busy I get with other shows :)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Oh Frequency is a show that I've been kind of thinking about as well actually, the premise really doesn't grab me that much, but then I heard that it's actually getting really good reviews, so I might check it out and see what they do with it

[hamarakissa.livejournal.com]

I definitely plan on checking out Luke Cage and The Gilmore Girls (what is it, 6 episodes I think). And of course so many more, should make a list.

Also same with PLL, iZombie, and I might actually watch TVD as it's the last season.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I've got pretty high hopes for TVD ending strongly, it's only going to be 16 episodes and Kevin and Julie will both be back for it, so hopefully everyone involved will really concentrate on putting together a strong arc

And Gilmore Girls is going to be 4 90 minute episodes I believe, the episodes will be covering Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer

[ellipsisms.livejournal.com]

I'm super excited for new Blindspot! I'm still kind of behind, but I'll catch up soon. And I love Jane and her longer hair! Other than that, I'm gonna check out Timeless and The Good Place and Westworld. The last one seems super intriguing especially, so I'm excited for that! I'm so bad at keeping up with shows that I really shouldn't be adding a lot of new ones. XD

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Probably the same for me lol, I seem to find it harder and harder to keep up with the new tv season, even though I really don't even watch that many shows

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

How many seasons of the Big Bang Theory is it now?

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

They're just starting the tenth season now :)
