New Fall Season 2010

It looks like alot of the broadcast shows are starting up their new seasons this week. As always, there are a number of new shows and many returning shows while a few were left by the wayside. One surprise, to me at least, was the return of Supernatural on the CW. In the last season, Lucifer was going to walk the earth and reign supreme over the land. Through the daring do and sacrifice, the Winchesters avert the impending doom. Throughout the season, I thought God was going to make a cameo appearance at some point. Aside from all that, I thought where else would they go with the show? They could end on a high note with their popularity on an upswing including no less an anime version of the series. They are back this Friday and it will be interesting what the story arc will be. First point of order, of course, is getting Sam out of Hell.

Another favorite is moving from Monday to Thursday nights. I will have to wait and see how the schedules play out before I can say whether I will follow it this time around. I enjoyed the first few seasons of the show but the comedy seems like its gone a bit stale and the situations and predicaments they are getting into don't seem to be as fun as they were before. Because of the latter, I believe the characters are suffering as well. Sheldon just seems annoying without being redemptively funny. Leonard is somewhat blah as his only interest is getting back with Penny. Penny has become a tragic character from a Shakespeare play. Howard had the fun taken out of him when finally landed a girlfriend. Raj, what can we say about Raj. He hasnt taken up the slack from the others.
To be continued...maybe
