What are you watching?
Right now am going to watch the final season of True Blood (It is like Twilight, only good ). I am also watching Pretty Little Liars, and I will probably get back to American Horror Story. This Fall I will watch Dancing With the Stars, Blindspot, Quantico, Criminal Minds, Scream Queens, Once Upon a Time, Gotham, Empire, and Supergirl. Also lots of NFL games, and College Football. So what are the rest of you watching?

From your list my wife and I are watching Blindspot, Once Upon a Time, and Supergirl, and she's a big fan of Criminal Minds though I could take it or leave it.
We've been really enjoying both Dark Matter and Killjoys on Syfy, since they are basically the shattered pieces of Firefly. Steven Universe and Star Butterfly vs. the Forces of Evil are our American cartoons of choice at the moment now that Gravity Falls is over. When it comes to cooking competition shows, we've sorta drifted away from Chopped over the last year or so towards Cutthroat Kitchen because Alton Brown is an amazing crazy person. Game of Thrones is over for now and, outside of Last Week Tonight, there really hasn't been anything on HBO that I have to watch since True Blood ended. I gave Vinyl a go when it was on and it was okay enough to keep my attention through the whole first season, but it got canceled so I guess that was that. Patrick Stewart's Blunt Talk on Starz was a fun watch, though I don't really feel compelled to see a second season of it if there even will be one. I did get through the first season of Mr. Robot recently and have all of the second season backing up on my DVR. It was pretty good all around. AMC apparently had a new show called Into the Badlands that looks simply amazing, and I guess they might be on a second season now since season one is playing on BBC America where I'm picking it up now. Then there's all the anime that we're on, but that's for another thread. |

Since the prospect of ever getting HD remasters now seems extremely unlikely, I caved in and decided to just start my re-watch / first ever complete viewing of Deep Space Nine on Netflix. I have not watched the show since it originally aired, and missed a bunch of episodes back in the day, as well as fizzling out around the fifth season, so I've never seen how it ends.
Also I was home sick much of this week, so I've already binged through to Season 2 Episode 8. Will probably slow down a bit going forward though.

I mean, I've seen a lot of what I'm watching now before, a dozen-plus years ago. And it's about what I remember it. Meaning, I like it, but it's not quite with TNG in my affections. But then, it doesn't have as strong a nostalgia filter for me either. In any case, I'll be in it for the long haul.

So we are clear

I just marathoned the first five seasons of Bob's Burgers and learned it holds up well. Like we gave some Futurama a try and while I still love it found another rewatch of Bob's Burgers was more appealing

Tev, what do you think of Supergirl? Even as a fan of the character, I only watched the Flash crossover episode and it felt like a massive waste of time and my feeling is that it will continue to be so until they finally decide to wrap it into the Arrowverse.

Well, that's happening this year, so...
I disagree though; I liked Supergirl best of the current DCTV slate. Or at least, a close tie with Flash. Arrow and Legends, OTOH, had me about ready to quit them.
