    I thought it was fairly average and nothing special. The mystery behind her origin was intriguing, but it's not enough to keep my interest when most of the episode feels like standard procedural drama.

    Maybe I'm just too spoiled now by cable tv, but most network shows just aren't edgey or creative enough.

    I was excited about Scream Queens... Boy was that some garbage...

    Gotham got better from last season. That isn't saying much since season 1 was damn awful.

    Limitless was cool, but you know it's going to be a case of the week show....

    Blindspot - Reminds me of Intelligence, 7 days and that show about the guy who was color blind but could only see color when it was a clue to something he was working on.
    Generally it looks ok. Nothing special yet. The intro of the overall conspiracy which she has willingly participated in ( Which we will proabbly find out 'THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR' somewhere along the way)

    Limitless looks ok. Cannot get beyond DEB not cursing up a storm . .. still waiting on Dexter to come out of the law and hand the Loser With THE POWER a donut. Slacker with unearned ability now gets to be the smartest guy in the room and somewhat dismissive about it . .. . .we will see where it goes. Bradley Cooper better show up more than just once . . .cause we really need to know why he showed up at all.

    Minority Report - decent. Sleepy Hollow DA FUTURE - similar dynamic (read racial make up LOL) Megan is fine as . .. .well . . .something has to make up for the acting. At this point nothing special but nothing horrible either. The Overarching story line of Agathy and David (the brother of Dash) is interesting. The Brother using his 'gift' for profit is good idea and logical for me.

    Gotham - got off on the right foot. No More Fish Mooney
    A far more effectively ruthless Peguin . . .and zZZZAAAZZZZ
    I am good so far. They have alot to make up for from that last episode last year
    I am still not expecting too too much but Bruce showing a level of ruthlessness
    and ends justify the means speech was interesting. I wonder how long they can keep him around
    At some point he has to leave to learn everything in the world right
    Having CatWoman as Penguin mobster is interesting.

    Finally got around to watching it. Completely clique. Nothing original. It felt like watching the 100th episode of CSI. Some compare it to Blacklist, however it will never have the personality of James Spader.

    Watched Blacklist. Completely unimpressed. Probably won't get through more than 2 episodes unless #2 steps it up big time.

    b*stard Executioner needs to get more interesting fast as well.

    Is anyone watching the Jim Gaffigan Show? It's WAY too funny to be on TV Land, or whatever obscure network it's airing on.

    It's on TV Land, but each episode also airs on Comedy Central a week later. I've only seen one episode, but it was pretty funny.

    I had to turn this off. Between the quirky IT girl with an unhackable system ("Nobody hacks my system!") and the shameless display of hypothetical future technology I felt like gagging. I only made it 15 minutes but after the french fry line I had to turn it off. I was looking forward to this and was sorely disappointed. It is exactly what you would fear what a network show would do to this premise.

    I only hope that Limitless is different. These new shows remind me why I don't really watch network TV.

    Probably my favorite show right now is Between on Netflix. Not necessarily a fall premiere, but I can't wait for season 2.

    I'm with you. I want to see what they do with season 2. Let's be honest though, this show is just awful. Awful may be too strong a word, but it's damn silly. I kept coming back weekly because it was a cross between Jericho and Degrassi (a lot of ex-Degrassi alum in this show).

    I hope they don't make it weekly again. I know Netflix was trying something different, but that show deserves to be binged to truly accentuate the ridiculousness going on.

    When the huge black "highschool kid" with the receding hairline got his ass handed to him by the skinny white kid I almost tapped out, lol. The guy is 7 times bigger than everyone in the town! Just some of the silly stuff in the show. Remember the sick kids in the plane!?

    Jennette Mccurdy is an underrated actress. I pretty much love everything she does.

    Your also right, I really don't get the big black guy (dude wanted to play little house the prairie with that chick) lol

    Basing a TV show off a movie usually doesn't work too well, especially if the movie was garbage.

    That said, the Limitless premiere was pretty much a rehash of the movie.

    I watched that "Scream Queens" part with Ariana "I hate America" Grande and it was the dumbest thing I've ever watched and I instantly turned it off never to be seen by these eyes again. I guess they were going for a comedy serial killing bit there with texting involved? You would have to be pre-teen to enjoy that imo.

    I did like the initial episode of "Limitless".

    How to get away with Murder. Viola Davis is just amazing. Anyone else saw the premiere?

    I think I may be alone but I kind of loved Scream Queens. It was everything I had hoped it was. I lost it at the Deaf Taylor Swift part in the second episode. I hope they keep up how ridiculous it is because if it gets serious I won't be able to watch it.
