Off the top of my head, I am only going to start with Zorn and Timeless. There may be another that I am just not thinking of, though.

I typically don't get into network shows until at least a half season or so into it. Just not worth it with most if them getting sacked so fast.

 

[SDGuy73]

Mary + Jane - I bailed.
Better Things - I bailed.
Son of Zorn - I bailed.
The Good Place - Giving it one more episode.
Kevin Can't Wait - Giving it one more episode.
Leathal Weapon - I enjoyed this. It stays.
Speechless - Very funny.
MacGyver
Aftermath
Channel Zero
No Tomorrow
Good Behvior

saw a little notorious, I am guessing that USA dropped covert affairs and Graceland.

Covert Affairs was cancelled in Jan 2015. Graceland was cancelled in Oct 2015.

That Kiefer Sutherland's new series looks like it's worth watching. "Designated Survivor"

Son of Zorn- B/c I had fond memories of He-Man, I'll give it another couple of episodes.

The Good Place- gave up on it. Showed some potential, but I can't sympathize with anyone on the show.

Kevin Can't Wait- Nope. He's basically the same guy in every show he's in.

Lethal Weapon- Really liked it. This could be the new cop show that lasts.

Speechless- Looks like the best new show so far along with Designated Survivor.

MacGyver- Couldn't get into it. The lead looks like a retarded Matt Damon.

Wife and I watched a few of Chicago Med, but neither of us could get over the fact that almost everyone in the show is unrealistically good looking. No one looked like they just woke up. Scrubs were all clean and pressed. It needed to be grittier in order to be believable.

Amazingly hot women, but with hair in pony tail, and some clunky glasses.

I couldn't have said it better.

@lilchi721 @Niner Outlaw

9/29: ABC has picked up newcomers Designated Survivor and Speechless for a full (22-episode) season.

 

[omarsrevenge]

Watched first episode of the Macgyver reboot. Horrible, the guy playing Mac is not like-able in any way. Kind of a smug doosh and the opposite of the original Mac. Aside from that the show is awful too.

 

[SDGuy73]

Great news.

10/12 Lethal Weapon (Fox) has received a full-season order, with its debut season increasing by 5 to 18 total episodes.

I tried watching the premiere of that and thought that it was pretty dull.

I saw a couple minutes of Son of Zorn when the premiere was on after football one week and turned the channel. In my opinion, I don't even know how it got greenlit because it was awful.
Kevin Can Wait just seems like something that Kevin James can use as an excuse to get away from being in Adam Sandler movies and Adam Sandler produced movies.
I was never going to give The Good Place a chance. Just from watching the previews, I didn't even come close to laughing once.
I've been hesitant on Lethal Weapon. It's getting good ratings and just got picked up for a full season (I'm sure that it doesn't hurt that it airs before Empire). I might give this a shot and binge watch the episodes OnDemand during either Thanksgiving or during the two-three week hiatus that most shows go on during Christmas and New Years.
The new MacGyver just doesn't look like it has the same charm as the original. I think that @omarsrevenge said it best that he looks like a smug douche.
I've heard that This is Us is a great show but just doesn't look like something that I'd be interested in watching.

wow I missed that.

Surprised it did that.

But it did kind of lose it's way a bit.

The Lead is Golden Arm from Blue Mountain State. Maybe that's why I gave it a chance.

I actually like it. It's kind of a poor man's version of Burn Notice (which I LOVED) so I can dig this.

I binge watched the first season of a show on Amazon Prime called Red Oaks in the last few weeks and gotta say I really enjoyed it. The second season comes out Nov 11 and I am looking forward to it.

It is kind of a Caddyshack-esque show about a country club in the 80s where the main character is a college kid who spends the summer as the assistant tennis pro. There is some good nudity and I found the show pretty entertaining. I would recommend it. Couple goofy episodes, but really nothing to turn you away from the show.

Wow. Good eye. BMS was funny. Lots of hotties.

I could never miss Golden Arm.

It's probably my favorite episode of the series.

"Hello?"

"Yes Dad the Arm is safe."

"I love winning too, Dad"

 

[Bulletz]

Wifey got me to watch the first coupleof episodes of The Good Place. As much as I love Ted Danson, I just couldn't get into it.

 

[The Q]

Wow. Good eye. BMS was funny. Lots of hotties.

One of my buddies was getting into acting down in LA made friends with the head cheerleader from BMS.

Got to hear all kinds of fun stories about the show.
