Recently, TiFaux was asked to participate in a Fall TV Preview with a number of other bloggers including our pals Vance and Liz. The whole shebang was hosted by The TV Addict and Tapeworthy.
Now let me begin my defense — you’ll see a lot of N/As in our column. All I can say is I did my best to procure sneak previews of the fall season (the good folks at CBS are the only ones who sent me screeners) on a somewhat short notice. But we got about a third of ‘em, and I figure that’s okay.
I was pretty severe on the comedies (I’m a little baffled that not everyone hated Aliens in America as much as me), although I was feeling weirdly merciful in giving Big Bang Theory a 2.
LEGEND
1 – Don’t waste your time unless you find According to Jim funny
2 – Not great but at least doesn’t offend me.
3 – Fun to watch if nothing else is on.
4 – Has potential. Worth a second look.
5 – Set your TiVo to Season’s Pass!
N/A – Haven’t watched yet.
If you’d like to check out the Web sites of the other participants, here they are: BuzzSugar, DaemonsTV, DuckyDoesTV, GiveMeMyRemote, GlowyBox, MikeyLikesTV, ScooterMcGavin, SillyPipeDreams, Seat42f, TapeWorthy, theTVaddict and TubeTalk

The possessive form of Aliens, improperly used above, is giving me a headache.
Nice work, Dan! Looks like Pushing Daisies, Reaper, and Chuck are pretty promising.

For the Big Bang Theory, a 2 IS merciful. Urgh.

Maggie: Me too. Ack! Also, only 6 days till our Viva Laughlin deathwatch begins! (I think.)

Networks are annoyingly stingy about sending screeners to bloggers. I had to send ABC an e-mail a day until they finally gave in and sent ‘em to me, so I feel your pain.
Oh, and Big Bang Theory deserves no mercy!

Was Aliens really that bad? I heard an interesting story about it on NPR and it sounds like something that the ‘Great Unwashed’ (that phrase seems dated, how about ‘Vast Brainwashed’ or ‘Baptist Braindead’) need to see. Of course, if it’s any good, they would be the last to watch it. And heaven forfend that I would ever suggest that TV is there to serve a higher purpose. The truth is I never much enjoyed ‘All in the Family’.
