This week in geeky TV

You guys! Every week brings us closer to the days when everything is sunny and all my shows are back! This is especially exciting this year because most of them avoided the axe (RIP Almost Human and Intelligence!)!

Here's what's on the list for this week, most likely to be liveblogged over on the ol Tumblr unless my schedule gets in the way:

SUNDAY 9-7-14
The ABCs of Schoolhouse Rock - I may or may not blog this one, but I think everyone should know it's on!

Utopia - A new reality series where people try to build a new and better society from scratch. There's eliminations, which bugs me, but they'll be replaced, so it doesn't come down to, like, one person trying to run a whole society.


MONDAY 9-8-14
Nothing yet; waiting for when all my procedurals come back!


TUESDAY 9-9-14
Utopia on at it's regular time, where it will conflict with the approximately 700 shows already slated for that day.

Robin Williams Remembered--A Pioneers of Television Special - Don't know if I'll get to catch this, but again, it's something I think we should all take note of.


WEDNESDAY 9-10-14
Why is there never anything to watch on Weds? Is it intended to be the day when you catch up on all the stuff you missed in the way-too-busy first half of the week?


THURSDAY 9-11-14
The usual: The Quest

There's a bunch of World Trade Center specials on this night, but I probably won't blog them because that's not fun.


FRIDAY 9-12-14
Z Nation - I'm not sure about this show; it looks like a throwback to the times before Walking Dead, and that's not really interesting to me. Also, it's on SyFy, which I have come not to trust. But it's in my wheelhouse and maybe I'll be surprised.

Utopia's other episode. It had better be good, taking up this much space in the schedule!


SATURDAY 9-13-14
The usuals: Doctor Who, Hell On Wheels, Outlander



Next Week I'm looking forward to:
New Girl, Mindy Project, The Mysteries of Laura

Liveblog roundup masterpost!

So two things happened. I got behind on posting the roundups, as I knew I would, and I had a rough week where I felt like crap. And coming up, we've got premiers happening, which will keep me behind the way I've been doing it, so I'm going to instead link you to the right place to see everything! Much quicker, and all in one post! That way, I can keep up easier AND I can have a blog that isn't 90% reposts from somewhere else!

The Emmys:

The biggest criticism I hear about the Emmys is that it's famous people patting each other on the back, but I like it because it's famous people hanging out with each other and proving they're all still the dorks they probably were in high school.

You can find my hopes and exclamations here!

The Quest:

This show is so ridiculous, borderline cheesy, and so totally earnest that I can't help it. I love it. Even if they CONTINUE to get really stupid when it comes to the weekly eliminations. Even if they keep booting the ones I like best.

You can find my cheering and such here! Note, though, I did miss an episode somewhere along the line because it was preempted by stupid local football, and I don't know when it actually aired.

Hell on Wheels:

I was seriously not happy with this show for the first, like, three episodes, but it won me back over as soon as it got back into the town--where it belongs. Though I do wish people would stop being assholes just to be assholes, and I do miss the central story element of the train. Oh well. This last week's episode about Elam in the Comanche camp was soo cool.

You can find my commentary here!

Outlander:

This show. You guys. If Hell On Wheels and Game of Thrones are masculine juvenile fantasies, this one is a feminine adult fantasy. I mean, last night had all sorts of dick jokes and dudes being assholes, but it also had people being educated, people caring about what happens to their people, and Claire finally reaching that place in all time-travel stories where you stop blindly reacting and you start trying to change the tragedies you happen to know will happen.

And there's still Jamie being amazing.

You can find my squeeing here!

Doctor Who:

I think this right here is the theme of the season. So far, anyway. I'm loving 12. I love that he's grouchy, that he doesn't like hugs, that he doesn't know what to do with people kissing him or laughing at things, that he's confused and strange and sort of like a really awkward mad scientist--but that he's also trying to be good and to fix things, because through it all, he knows that he's caused a lot of trouble, too.

It's great.

You can see my constant commentary here!

That's it for this week (and last week and a bit that I didn't do here), and you can see what I'll be watching this week and whether any new shows will be included in the next post!
