Can't wait for Chicago med
ReplyDeleteChicago Med is pretty late. What will they air in the 9 pm time slot until then? The Voice double episodes?
ReplyDeleteBlindspot 3 full months away from the premier. Don't worry gurl, I know Ur suffering cause I didn't saw the pilot but that will change.
ReplyDeleteAlso Chicago Med is on my to do list and it's good that it comes later so I can get in my fall rhythm. Will be easier to add it to my watchlist.
I am looking Forward to Blindspot
ReplyDeleteWasn't Chicago Fire suppose to premiere in November? Not that I am complaining
ReplyDeleteHeroes reborn will be up against the scandal premiere
ReplyDeleteGrey's not Scandal.
ReplyDeleteScandal airs at 9 though, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the player again? It's going to crumble against HTGAWM on premiere night
ReplyDelete8 episodes ordered of Best Time Ever.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice usually hits lows by time Nov comes around, why not launch Med earlier?
ReplyDeleteWhy premiere PD a week later
Will Blindspot match a 3.5? ( TBL S2 premiere in that slot last year)
ReplyDeleteI doubt that, but you never know.
ReplyDeleteThat's at 10 pm though. Med is at 9 pm and starts in November, so until then it's likely there will be two-hour editions of The Voice.
ReplyDeleteLaura lol
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I apparently can't read, lol. As you were.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so either given TV is likely to further decline
ReplyDeleteI think more like a 2.7
I don't think so. The Voice is not as strong now as it was back then. It might break a 3, but I wouldn't be surprised if it premieres in the mid to high 2s.
ReplyDeleteTV premiere 3.3-3.5
ReplyDeleteBlindspot- 2.5-2.7
Seems about right.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot is my only Monday show and I'm really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteFox and the CW are the only one that has not released fall schedule yet....
ReplyDeleteIt's really the only new network show I plan to watch.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that.
ReplyDeleteSo excited that Chicago Fire is coming back in October instead of November.
ReplyDeleteWhen will it go fractional again? I say it premieres to about a 1.2 and in four/five episodes it goes fractional. If it's really lucky, it can avoic sub 1s.
ReplyDeleteIt's an drams/action series around a security specialist in Vegas. It stars Wesley Snipes and Philip Winchester (Stonebridge from Strike Back)
ReplyDeleteI hope it's good because I love action and both PW and WS are good action stars.
Pretty soon lol.
ReplyDeleteI have a whole list I'm going to try but as far as Network TV, this one and The Player are my two main ones.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice does amazing through the blind auditions but when it goes live, the numbers drop. I have never understood that.
ReplyDeleteScripted Show Predictions
ReplyDeleteBlindspot-2.6
Chicago Fire- 2.2
Chicago Med-2.1
TMoL-1.1
SVU-1.7
PD-1.7
Heroes- 2.0
The Blacklist-1.9
The Player- 1.6
Grimm-1.3
Undateable-1.2
People are Talking-.9
Thanks! I like Snipes but never heard of the other guy lol
ReplyDeleteThe Player looks horrible to me. I'll possibly give some other shows a chance, but they will probably be cancelled so what's the point.
ReplyDeleteTrue but every season declined further
ReplyDeleteBlindspot is the only NBC show I'll be watching.
ReplyDeleteHannibal cancelled!!
ReplyDeleteI think these are pretty good indications of NBC's premiere ratings. I think Heroes might go a bit higher than a 2.0 (say mid 2s). You are also pretty optimistic for The Player, but I think it might do better than Allegiance (which had a 1.1 out of a 2.4 Blacklist). Other than that, People Are Talking seems ridiculously low, but maybe that won't be far from the truth.
ReplyDeleteReally? Amazon will save it
ReplyDeleteYep, TVLine just posted it.
ReplyDeleteWell, don't make me break out Youtube! He's also been on Fringe, 24:LAD and Camelot. He's very good at action.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, as all shows do. I just don't get how they drop so much once they start the live shows.
ReplyDeleteWho was he on 24? Don't remember him
ReplyDeleteI like the premise and the stars so I'll give it at least 3 episodes and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! I'm not surprised but I am, if that makes sense. I didn't think they'd do it I guess.
ReplyDelete@TVMoJoe: NBC's @BestTimeEver with
ReplyDelete@ActuallyNPH is getting a new timeslot: It will air Tuesdays at 10 on 9/15 & 9/22, then shift to 8 p.m. on 9/29
@TVMoJoe: #TheVoice Tuesday show will air from 9-11 p.m. on 9/29 and 10/16. It will then move to 9 p.m. Tuesdays on Oct. 13 as lead-in to #ChicagoFire
ReplyDeleteHe was Colonel Shaw, a political advisor for President Heller. He was in several episodes, not a lot.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I don't think it will do better than The Voice though.
ReplyDeleteOh ok I think I know who he is now but very minor role lol
ReplyDeleteCF & Med + The Blacklist. Cant wait!
ReplyDeleteLaura <3333
ReplyDeleteI think the overall night will do better though since the voice will do better at 9 and it will be able to boost the Chicago show that follows it. And NPH is supposed to be family friendly so 8pm always made more sense imo,
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt so.
ReplyDeleteScandal is airing at 9 and Heroes at 8.
ReplyDeleteFirst two weeks:
ReplyDeleteThe Voice + The Voice + NPH
Next 4 weeks: NPH + The Voice + Fire
Next week: NPH + The Voice + Med
Then on: The Voice + Med + Fire
Damn!That's a long wait for Chicago Med.I hope it's worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware you watched the Chicago franchise as well. I think you beat me in the number of shows you watch ahah, which makes me happy actually!
ReplyDeleteI love Chicago Fire.I watched CPD for 10 episodes then gave up.
ReplyDeleteI watch more than 50 shows.No one watches that much television.Your number?
Me as well lol but we are sick, sick people
ReplyDeleteI have to think about these in greater detail, but on first look they sound reasonable! My adjustments would be SVU higher (it always goes up when there is no CBS procedurals on the horizon and it will go up against Survivor/Big Brother), Grimm a tad higher maybee, and probably Undateable a tad lower. I would also down the Player. And I would inch Heroes up.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...We certainly are!
ReplyDelete40 is actually a very conservative estimate for me. I use podesign tv calendar (a MUST, I highly recommend it) and it currently says I watch way more than that lol. But be aware of my fan excuse bingo: 1) I watch a lot of comedies so those should count as half and 2) Some of this stuff are summer shows so they aren't all airing at the same time
ReplyDeleteAlright Heroes and Blindspot!
ReplyDeleteI use pogdesign, as well, and of the 523 shows they list I have 411 checked off. I love followmy.tv a lot, it tells you your "time wasted" and has basically every show ever. I love the rating and comments system. Pogdesign has most major ones in their calendar but not every single one I watch. But I like the calendar set up and the ability to 'check off' episodes as you watch. Only way I'm able to stay organized with my tv shows is with those two sites.
ReplyDeleteHeroes and The Blacklist agains Shondaland in the same day. That will be fun to watch the day after when the ratings come.
ReplyDeleteOh great, Blindspot starts so soon and the Blacklist,too! I also watch Chicago PD, and will give Chicago Med a try :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst time since SVU.02 started that I'm not looking forward to a new season. S16 was just lousy, focused way too much time on the Benoah drama and with Amaro gone I just don't have high hopes for S17 which makes me super sad as SVU has been my #1 show for a couple of years now :(
