2021-2022 TV Season

[Majingir]

Another TV season is coming to an end, hopefully this next one can start getting back to normal. Some shows I see their season premieres are scheduled slightly later than usual.

Another TV season with even fewer shows I even watch.

Of all non sports stuff, I see probably 6 total shows I'm watching, which combine for about 4.5 hours (closer to 3.5 hours or so when you factor in commercials).

Technically Sunday is the busiest day for me, although who knows if celebrity wheel of fortune is airing all the time, and even then, I'm only watching when they have good celebs.

Glad to see Survivor finally return for the first time in about 16 months.

Summer wise, Big Brother is back on CBS as usual. After what we've seen 3 of the last 4 years, I'm going into this season with the lowest of expectations. Only positive is that they got rid of their casting person.

They have celeb family feud again this year, and based on the teams this time around, doesn't seem interesting to me. TikTok influencers, MTV shows among others.

CW with a slightly different schedule for now. Flash will be ending in July and Supergirls mid season break ends in August. I think Powerpuff Girls was supposed to air in the summer, but if you saw the rumored leaked script, you'll understand why it got rewritten (it's one of the cringiest scripts you can read, even for a CW show)

Holmes Family Effect. I like the old man the kid has no personality at all.

Don't know how the Frasier revival works without any of the main cast besides Kelsey Grammer but who knows? Grammer will also be in a comedy series costarring Alec Baldwin so he'll be a busy man.

Frasier 2

This is why I never really got into watching television like I used to, because as soon as I start to watch one thing, it ends up getting cancelled.

Not sure which thread this should go in, but I watched the first 4 episodes of the CW's Kung Fu.

For context, 5 minutes into the first episode I was asking myself "wth am I watching", but I really wanted this show to be good. So, I kept going. Unfortunately the fight choreography was bad, and each individual episode could have an entire Screen Rant - Pitch Meeting skit dedicated to it.

Spoiler ie: It's going to be super hard to avenge your master's death by moving back to San Francisco while the assassin is in China. Oh no, it's going to be super easy! Barely an inconvenience.

There are some aspects of the show that held potential, and so maybe I'll try to finish the season at some point. Those first 4 were painful though.

looks their showing a season 8 for 9 9 on nbc

I'll move the Jeopardy talk into here.

Mike Richards announced as the new full time host of Jeopardy. Some don't like the choice mainly because he was already an executive producer of the show (so it felt like they already knew who they were choosing beforehand).

But they also announced Mayim Bialik will be the host of primetime specials/spinoffs.

So I do believe what people have been saying. Richards was their choice before doing the whole guest host stuff. And the guest host stuff was just to find a host for those other shows, which they decided on Bialik for.
