New Fall Season: Part 2

Since Tim gave his take on the new fall season I thought I should offer my two cents worth.

The Good:

"Castle"-This is one of the most enjoyable shows on TV. The characters are smart and funny with great chemistry. Nathan Fillion is ridiculously charming and has finally found a role tailor made for him. One of my favorite things about the show is the supporting characters of Castle's mother and daughter and also the other detective team at the police station. This is high quality entertainment.

"The Good Wife"-Julianna Margulies makes this show work in a way that it never could without her. As the scandalized Alicia Florrick, Margulies gives the audience vulnerability, insecurity and strength all in the course of one scene. A cast of TV veterans including Chris Noth and Josh Charles gives the material a weight that will draw viewers in.

"psych"- While technically not a fall show, no examination of good TV would be complete without mentioning the funniest show on television. James Roday and Dule Hill have the timing of a classic comedy team. It's a show that must be watched multiple times because chances are you laughed through some of the jokes.

"Glee"-Hands down the most creative show to hit the airwaves since "24." Everything from the acting to the inspired choice of music makes this show a winner. It's the definition of appointment television and Matthew Morrison is a star in the making.

The Eh:

"Flash Forward"-The most buzzed about and hyped up show of the new season is only ok. Unlike "Lost" which drew viewers in instantly, this feels more like diet "Lost," close but not quite the real thing.

"Community"-Unlike Tim I'm not ready to give up on Joel McHale just yet, but the show isn't quite living up to expectations. While there are definitely some funny moments, the show still needs more fine tuning.

The Bad:

"Smallville"-Put this show out of its misery already.
"The Vampire Diaries"-Stumbled across it by accident and my brain still hurts.
"Eastwick"-There is absolutely nothing enchanting about this show, all involved should get out now.
