So, I'm liking Sleepy Hollow. I also like Back in the Game I think it was called. All the other free pilots I thought fell flat.
Anyone else?

I haven't seen either, sorry. I'm inclined to say Sleepy Hollow is a ripoff of Grimm that's been around a couple years now.
I'd like to catch Blacklist, but I wonder how much I missed last week when I was out at volleyball. I doubt I'd see many episodes of it anyway, since I tend to head to bed after the Voice. I don't have DVR either.

Watching Sleepy Hollow now. We also are liking it. I actually checked and I have the original version of the story by Washington Irving on my Kindle so I'll be rereading that. I'm fairly certain that the four horsemen of the apocalypse were NOT featured in the original story. I think I need to forsake all other shows and watch 5 seasons of Breaking Bad so people will stop looking at me in disbelief when I say I've never seen it.

I started Masters of Sex (Masters and Johnson), but I couldn't get into it. It got rave reviews so that is probably a reflection of how tired I am.

I held out on BrBa, but we started watching it on Netflix and quickly got hooked. We've not seen this season though so I can't wait to catch up! It gets pretty dark in places, though. I can't seem to watch shows as they air any more. I am too impatient to wait a week between episodes. We've been watching series on Netflix so that we can watch 2-3 episodes per night. Makes the cliff-hangers between seasons more tolerable

As I told you, I only watch stupid shows. Right now the new one is Hostages.
I was going to watch Breaking Bad, but now that it's over, I lost interest.
I've been trying to replace House with something, but haven't come up with anything yet.
I really want to see Orange is the new Black, but don't know how to set it up without my DH. And he is not allowing me to get into any new shows.

Was disappointed in the Blacklist. Enjoyed the Michael J Fox show, but can't tell if that's because it really was good or if I just am glad to see Michael J Fox again.

My DH really likes James Spader and is trying to get me to watch this show. I like James Spader and like the premise of the show, but the pilot was badly done. For me, it just didn't hang together. They're asking too much of the viewers who don't yet have any connection to the characters and trying to fit too much into an episode. Interesting action, but not finely crafted enough. It's not just that there's a mystery (hey, we all know that from the premise and mystery is good), it's that nothing that happens in it is remotely believable. It's more like watching a series of low budget action movies that have all been cut and paste together; you don't know or care about the people involved, there's no interesting plot, and the action doesn't add to it. My guess is the script for this thing is less than 500 words. I'm still hoping it gets better and that the upcoming twist isn't as obvious as I think it is (please let him not be her father, that's just too obvious...)

I don't have cable. We stream. I usually buy what TV I want through Amazon... Usually isn't that much. Amazon usually has free pilots of new how's though. I guess I could also look at the network players. Pilot week just happened to coincide with prednisone/antibiotic/antihistimine week.. or I doubt I would have managed to watch all the pilots I did. Boy there is some crap out there.

I like what I've seen of Sleepy Hollow so far. My daughter and I say its a cross between Grimm, Buffy, and Supernatural. I was disappointed that Clancy Brown was killed off so quickly but hope he keeps showing up in flashbacks.
Agents of Shield was ok, not great but a good fluff show I think. And hey, its produced by JossWhedon so it has some potential.
The only other new show I've watched so far is Betrayal. I'm not sure about it as the pilot was kind of slow but I can see something to it. The betrayal alluded to in the title is more than just the affair but also has something to do with a business deal and I can see the murder mystery plot bringing out some more family secrets. My daughter got annoyed with me when I pointed the one guy was Elliott from ET though (and yes, I said it in the voice of ET).
I can't think of any other new shows I'm going to even try to watch except Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. It will all depend on the schedule and it works out with my regular shows. I'm just happy that OUT is back on and that Walking Dead will be back on in less than 2 weeks.

Quote button isn't working for me: Malarky said: I think I need to forsake all other shows and watch 5 seasons of Breaking Bad so people will stop looking at me in disbelief when I say I've never seen it. I'll bring the wine. I haven't seen it either. DH and the boys watched it from the start on Netflix this summer. I was busy living life. (In all fairness, DH was recovering from back surgery. But still...)

I have not seen, or even heard of 99% of the shows being discussed. I haven't gotten into a series in YEARS. I don't have a dvr so would need to be home to watch. And I just find myself with a really short attention span these days. I think since I have to be so "engaged" at work, I prefer mindless tv in the evening. Up until this week, I would watch the Yankees. I love The Voice. I watch American Idol even though it sucks more and more every year. But, really, that's about it. I tried to watch Once Upon a Time but couldn't get into it. I did love a show on the CW a couple years ago. I think it only ran 2 seasons but it was a great show. I can't even remember the name now but was about a foster kid, Lux, that found her parents. Maybe I was drawn to it because of being a social worker, but I loved that show and was pretty bummed when it didn't come back. I watched The Mentalist for awhile but lost interest in that too. That's really it since the days of ER, Party of Five, 90210, and now I am dating myself

I watched the first episode of Sleepy Hollow- I thought it was ok. Not overly unique (given Grimm, Supernatural, etc.) but it was ok.
Watched Agents of Shield on Sunday night (Hulu Plus- no cable). I liked it. DH thought it was ok. DS is going to catch it later as he needed some space from GK. GK was disappointed that there were no super heroes even though we explained to him several times that there would not be any of the Avengers in the show. (GK= our German Exchange student who is here for three weeks and thank god leaves on Saturday).
I've wanted to catch up on some of the other shows but GK has discovered America's Next Top Model on Hulu and has monopolized the remote control for the past week (week before that was Project Runway). I can be in the same room and tune out ANTM but when he found the Vevo channel and figured out how to search and find ALL of the Miley Cyrus videos and play them in a loop I had to leave the room. Hid out in DS' room re-watching Revolution on Netflix.
DH wants to watch Blacklist- that is on the list for next week when GK is back in Germany.

We're watching Sleepy Hollow. I find the plot to be rather thin at the moment but I really like the guy playing Icabod so we keep watching.<BR><BR>DH likes Agents of Shield, it's not my thing.<BR><BR>Otherwise we're not watching any new shows, we follow too many already. Walking Dead starts in a few weeks and so does Supernatural. DH is trying to keep on top of Boardwalk Empire.<BR><BR>Supernatural freaking owes me. They should have ended with Sam in the pit but they've jumped the shark with three more seasons. Over all the consitency of the writing/plot has been good despite a few very glaring plot holes left over after Lucifer. They better have an idea of where the F they are taking us. I do not want another LOST type ending after investing this much time in the characters.

Constanz- it was called Life Unexpected. I hadn't watched in when it was on originally but I did watch it this summer on Netflix. It was ok.
Drama- I totally agree with your assessment of Supernatural. They better start to redeem themselves this season! Last season was pretty shaky in my opinion.

DH thinks they'll have to find God. I said that's pretty much the only place they have left to go with the show. They tied up the plot line that extended from the pilot. Now they're just making up crap. They better marry the two and FAST.

My DH is of the same mindset as your DH. I'll stick it out because I love me some Misha Collins but seriously writers- you better get it right this season.

I think they'll have to break Micheal out of the pit since he's the only Arch angel left and they mentioned numerous times this season things went to shit because all the archangels disappeared. That would tie it into the original plotline. Dean having to become his vessel to fix the mess in heaven would marry things nicely.

Now that's a plot line I can get behind. Makes sense, ties things back to the beginning, etc. They've been featuring Crowley pretty heavily in the ads and promotions for the new season- curious what they are going to do with him. Imagine he will be featured heavily since the big focus (promotion wise) has been on the big four (Dean, Sam, Crowley and of course Castiel)

I like the character of Crowley but as a villian compared to the Devil he's a let down. DH said if Crowley'd come first he'd be all for it but after Lucifer it's been a letdown, he's not enough to hold up the show and move it forward.
I read in TV Guide magazine Dean has to make a bargain to save Sam's life. Crossroad demon deals have been done to death so I REALLY hope they don't go there again. Making a deal with Micheal would be much more interesting.
