so fall 2007 tv:

Bionic Woman. premieres Wed Sept 26 on NBC. I continue to see NBC having the highest quality shows, pretty much without competition. I'm an NBC fan. I liked Bionic Woman the tv show a lot as a kid, the eighties I guess it was on. just saw ad that played Sia Breathe Me which seems ~ unfair ~ but is effective.

Gossip Girl. also Wed I think. on CW. yes imdb thread: Premieres Wed. Sept. 19 @ 9pm. seems will be fun rich-kid teen drama. narrated by Kirsten Bell, so. and one of the stars is the girl who played Carrie Bishop on Veronica Mars. I think she's got potential. prtty girl, sort of a darkness in her smile. there, she's listed second at imdb for the show: Leighton Meester Blair Waldorf. and listed first is Blake Lively, from sisterhood travelling pants (grief for mother who killed herself) who I also like and think has potential, pretty in a way that is interesting, could be dark. Blake Lively Serena van der Woodsen. hmm I think Gossip Girl might be the one teen book series I browsed at Borders once.

ah these two shows are opposite each other, Wed 8c.
and on Friday, my post-veronica-mars-int Moonlight is opposite FridayNightLights also at 8c.
Tuesdays have House, then Boston Legal which I have lost enthusiasm for.
and well maybe I'll try Heroes again, Monday, bcs I do want to watch the arc with Kristen Bell.
that leaves Thursday, where there's Greys eh but prob wld watch. the spin-off looks not even worth watching as soap. Men in Trees is not that night, too bad, it's Fridays.

so, all at 8c huh:
Mon - Heroes. nbc. watch in fall for Kristin Bell... Chuck before, Journeyman after. good NBC lineup.
Tues - House. (Boston Legal following). fox, abc and Reaper and Cane, opposite respctvly. CW, CBS.
Wed - Bionic Woman. Gossip Girl. * nbc , cw. probably not good but fun to watch... afterw: DirtySexyMoney, Life. abc, nbc.
Thur - Greys eh. abc The Office at 8c NBC, don't forget that. first few are hour long.
Fri - Moonlight, FriNightLights. * cbs nbc Nashville (fox) was bad, d n appeal on premiere.

on bastard machine did others mention Bionic Woman, Gossip Girl, Moonlight as of int? yes, no, and no.
The Bastard Machine 8/14/07 : A bloody battle: Fall scheduling trainwreck ahead. TiVo's on stun!: Here's a link to a pretty accurate fall 2007 television schedule Which nights have the best shows and what night(s) are you most looking forward to?
not much looks good, say several people.

The Bastard Machine 7/25/07 : Death March with Cocktails: The Buzz Meter.
Here's my first ever-in-flux Buzz Meter on the fall shows.
1. 'Pushing Daisies.' ABC. I'd look at this. but it's on 7c Wed I think.
2. 'Reaper.' CW. Tue 8c.
3. 'Aliens In America.' CW. Mon 7:30c.
4. 'Chuck.' NBC. Mon, before Heroes? so 7c. and Journeyman follows Heroes. saw preview, he works with a geek squad sort of thing at a store, inadv ends up viewing a video that conveys to his brain govt secrets ~
So far, there really isn't a number 5. Sorry. And yes, this list includes two series from the CW. That's two of four if you're keeping track at home. Listen, nobody's more surprised than the critics.
oh and note, in comments: > When is Sunny in Philadelphia coming back?? -- Sep 13. I read about this (Arr Dev style shooting, Friends in a Cheers setting, awful selfish characters) and thought, it sounds like some show I saw where guy went to anti-abortion rally to meet girls then liked a girl who was pro-choice and so switched position, or sth like that, what show was that? and, I am pretty sure it actually was an epsisode of Always Sunny. did not love it, too mean maybe, but I might like other episodes. I like the name, like a poem. It's always da-duh in da da da duh.

The Bastard Machine 8/30/07 : The Buzz Meter
1. The War. PBS. only addition to list. and next two switched rank:
2. Reaper. CW.
3. Pushing Daisies. ABC.
4. Aliens in America. CW.
5. Chuck. NBC.
Aliens in Amer is probably good. Mo Ryan likes it a lot, says has heart. did not appeal to me much, just as I did not much like Wonder Years. but - Tim Goodman says in this post that
they're recasting the dad (Scott Patterson from "Gilmore Girls" is in - let's hope he's funny) so now I am int at least to see Scott P in a role other than Luke, see if he seems different.

keep eye on this category on Mo Ryan's Chicago Tribune The Watcher blog:
New shows for the 2007-2008 season

updating 9/24 Monday of big premier week (Gossip Girl started last week, Nashville the week before, some start in October...).

and another reference, with page for each new show: TeeVee.net - Fall 2007 New Premieres
