So, obviously the new fall TV season just barely started and there are plenty of new shows I've yet to try. But, of the ones I've sampled, I've got some favorites.
First and foremost,
The Muppets is amazing. They've done a brilliant job of acknowledging the past while still updating it for the present. As the group of muppets we've grown to love work together on Miss Piggy's late night show, it's ripe with comedy from beginning to end. Definitely a new highlight of my week.
Next up, a show I didn't expect to like at all: The Grinder. Wow, this was a big surprise. I loved it! Rob Lowe stars as an actor who played a character called The Grinder and ends up back in his hometown after the series ends. Fred Savage plays his dubious brother (basically recreating his role from The Princess Bride) who is an actual lawyer, not just one on TV. Best of all? Rob Lowe did a shout out to his Parks and Rec character which made me incredibly happy. Check it out!
Another surprise to me was how much we're loving
Scream Queens - what a fun ride! While I'm not usually into horror shows, this one is quirky and funny enough to overcome the bloody, ridiculous scenes. It's great!
Finally,
Grandfathered was pretty cute. I didn't love love love it, but I didn't hate it either
(like Life in Pieces, which is pretty much a skip from me for the rest of the season). I'll check it out again, but the other three shows have made it into my "must watch" category.
