Mid-Season 2009

I’ve been struggling to write a quick summation for the midseason of 2009 but I think I’ll just bash it out like this:

SHOWS I DON’T THINK YOU SHOULD EVER SUFFER THROUGH:

Surviving Suburbia

In The Motherhood

Sit Down, Shut Up

SHOWS I THINK YOU SHOULD WATCH ONCE JUST TO LAUGH AT THEM:

Mental

Harper’s Island

SHOWS THAT I THINK TAKE A LOT OF POTENTIAL AND THEN WASTE IT ON A BADLY WRITTEN PROCEDURAL:

Lie To Me

The Unusuals

SHOWS I HOPE GET BETTER:

Parks & Recreation

The Goode Family

Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure

SHOWS THAT DON’T NEED TO GET BETTER FOR ME TO KEEP WATCHING THEM:

Better Off Ted

Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation

SHOWS STARRING NATHAN FILLION:

Castle...

I didn’t really have any other category for that one.

SHOWS THAT WERE JUST A PILOT BUT I’M SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THE ACTUAL FIRST SEASON OF LATER IN THE YEAR:

Glee

SHOWS THAT HAD A GOOD FIRST EPISODE BUT I BET END UP DISAPPOINTING ME LATER ON:

Cupid

SHOWS THAT I THINK ARE GOING TO HAVE GREAT FIRST SEASONS:

Southland

Kings

SHOWS MADE BY JOSS WHEDON THAT AUTOMATICALLY WIN ANY ‘BEST NEW SHOW’ AWARDS BECAUSE TO NOT GIVE THEM THAT AWARD WOULD BE LIKE TELLING JESUS THAT IN THE ‘TURNING WATER INTO WINE’ STAKES HE LOST OUT TO THE GUY WHO USED TO BE ON THE O.C.:

Dollhouse
