I'm eagerly waiting for Season two of Preacher, that starts up on AMC in about ten days. First show in years that had me scratching my head and wondering what the heck is going to happen next... the trailers look pretty interesting.

Except for Fargo, The Americans, and Better Call Saul, I find most tv dramas to be poorly written and soap opera-ish, especially ABC Studios produced prime time dramas...just night time soap operas with horrible writing. Am totally burnt out on medical, cop, and lawyer dramas, & sit coms. Even Modern Family has jumped the shark. And, except for Naked & Afraid, most reality shows are a snooze fest.
Commercial TV in America, in general, has gone the way of radio...to the crapper.
Suscription TV is at least providing something worth watching. But Even HBO, as a subscription network, has diluted its programming to an all time low. Please, will someone tell Sarah Jessica Parker to just stay home?

I watched this one start to finish in real time, it was pretty good.
AMC just wrapped up the first season of The Son, also worth a look.

Freaks and Geeks was excellent and it's fun seeing all the Judd Apatow regulars as youngens.
Kings: we only got the beginnings of a modern King David story, but at least we got that story up to his exile in the wilderness.
Terminator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles: the movie directors of the last two Terminator movies should have looked here for a story instead of the lame ones they had.
Space Above and Beyond: turned it on in the second half of its run.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Although it is going to its fifth season it was critically dismissed while waiting for Captain America The Winter Soldier to air and really begin its story arcs.

I'm trying to remember titles.
I remember digging 'Journeyman'.
I loved 'Reaper'.
'Northern Exposure' was good for a while.
'Key West' was great...again, for a while.
'Muscle' was awful...but it was supposed to be. Or at least we assumed it was. It was the first original show made by one of the two networks that combined to become the CW. It was an evening soap opera, mostly based around a gym chain owned by one of the characters Father. He died of a heart attack in the pilot, after catching his new wife and his son having sex in the hot tub. But not before changing his will so that the brand new wife was the chief beneficiary. The level of bad was amazing...and clearly *mostly* on purpose.

Stupid Dinosaur People.
Okay, that's not what it was called, but I've been calling it that to myself for so long I've forgotten the real title of the show.
People find a time rip, travel back to the age of dinosaurs to restart the human race after we've completely destroyed current time earth. It's a one way gate, you can go back but not forward in time.
It ran one season, I loved it, have watched it like ten times...

Terra Nova. It was a Spielberg produced show. It was a great concept, but I think being on Fox hurt it (most Fox shows don't last long unless they are animated). I also think it was too slow in developing/discovering the "secrets".
Great show. Shared the same universe as the "X-Files". Lance Henricksen was perfect in that. It was much better than the actual "X-Files" spin-off, "The Lone Gunmen". I wish I could stream "Millennium", but it doesn't appear possible.
Yeah that's it. I think people wanted more dinosaurs too. I presumably liked the pacing.
