Let the TV Season begin!

The Emmys are over meaning another tv season is officially started. I don't know if it is just me, but 2013-14 doesn't seem to have many promising new shows. Or at least shows I'd be interested in watching.

Dads - Nope.
Mom - Not even if you paid me.
Sleepy Hollow - I think it will get old fast.
The Millers - Sorry, Will Arnett. Not even for you.
Welcome to the Family - can we just stop it with family themed sitcoms?

On my list of new shows to watch is Marvel's The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which has a long and complicated title. Two reason why I'm interested: 1) I liked the Avengers movie 2) Joss Whedon. But even with Joss Whedon's name attached I'm a little skeptical. Will the cinematic success of the Avengers translate into tv viewers? Critics' reviews have been positive, so maybe I'm being a little cynical.

And can you blame me for being a cynic? Shows are canceled after 2 episodes. Why get involved right away? Let the tv cancellation carnage happen and then pick from the survivors. May the odds be ever in your show's favor. Yes, it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy but I can't handle waiting for a show to be picked up for a full season and then if it gets a second season.

Before we move on to the new seasons, let's have a moment of silence for the shows we lost in the 2012-13 season. Some lived full lives into syndication while others were canceled far too some. I'll never forget you (rural juror). RIP 30 Rock, Bomb Girls, Don't Trust the B, Happy Endings, and Young Justice.
