Thanks for all your hard work Karen! Can't wait to read it in its entirety. Jodi-

I only watched the first episode of Blood and Oil and could see how the whole thing was laid out for the season. It's way too breathless, in the current way of ABC shows, without the kind of dynamic lead that the Shonda shows have. The first episode of Blindspot is a total mess and I nearly dumped it, but there was nothing else interesting on when the second one aired and it was better. Turns out to be more intriguing than it should be. There's a woowoo element to it -- the tattoos seem too predictive to be merely roadmaps from old information, but even though there's really not much there, I find I enjoy it and like the characters. I liked the Limitless film, so have been watching the series. It keeps thinking like a film, however, and is going to exhaust itself or eat its young. For the moment, I like it kind of middling. It's sort of like a comic book style Castle with the naive rogue outsider leaping in. I wouldn't miss it if it were gone. I really like Quantico. It has the most depth of any of these shows. It has a lot of depth for a show that has depth. The characters are very well drawn and distinguishable one from the next, which is rare on TV ensembles. The parallel story telling between the academy and the future can be annoying, especially if one doesn't have eyes glued to the screen, but, unlike in some shows, there is enough difference between the characters and their past selves, and their relationships and the past relationships, that it's really very interesting. There's also some of that ABC breathless quality, but since there's actual peril, not made up soap opera peril, and since it's driven by a forward moving plot, it doesn't bother me. It's my favorite new show. I like Heroes Reborn, but it's not exactly new. :) And I liked Heroes. I think it's supposed to be a limited run, which is good, since the plot is save the world. For self-contained, episodic procedural, I like Rosewood. It could be an 80's show, but I like that the rogue outsider is a qualified professional rather than just some dude, and it doesn't matter what the body of the week is--I could just watch Morris Chestnut and listen to his voice and be sufficiently entertained. :) The supporting players are also good, though, so it's not a one man show, and it's a thrill every time the great Lorraine Toussaint has a scene (as his mother).

Jasdip, I just have a cheap inside antenna. Some of my friends in the county pick up more stations than I do. I also can't pick up our local ctv station in my living room which I find strange but when I had a television in the bedroom I used to be able to get it a 5 am. I got rid of cable in 2004, my neighbour bought me the analog box and the antenna years before the stations changed and set it up for me. I couldn't believe the all the new stations that appeared. I am in a good location. I am always scanning for new stations. I get better reception and more stations than some of the people i know who are paying for cable or digital and they don't get any of the local Detroit stations. I just think of all that money I didn't give to the cable company haha it now goes to Bell for my internet

We're just finishing up on the 6th and I believe the final season of Parenthood. I'm shocked that we were so interested in this one. The acting has been very good, quite emotional at times and these people can really cry. When done we will be doing Frankie and Gracie? Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. From there, I'm not sure.
