Finally it´s September and my favorite shows are about to start again. And lately, I have been thinking about what TV shows I want to watch this year and what shows I will skip. And it´s fairly obvious, that I´ll do some tweaking.
I will cut out The Mentalist, Bones and Criminal Minds.
The 4th season of the Mentalist was the worst I have ever seen. The story lines became more and more unrealistic and badly written, the characters became more one dimensional and as a whole, the show deteriorated fast. I loved the first 3 season but I saw none of what I like so much about the show in the 4th season. Not the offhand humor, wonderful character interactions and exciting story lines. I honestly became very bored every time I watched the 4th season so I won´t continue.
Bones has become to much of a ridicule. The 7th season had it´s moments but on the whole, the show has deteriorated so much from it´s incredible start and it´s just a shadow it it´s former glory. It´s become tired and dry and I don´t enjoy watching it anymore.
Criminal Minds 7th season was horrid. Minus Reed and Garcia. Ever since the sixth season, the show has been spiralling downwards and watching it trying again and again to be the best crime show on TV and become worse with every attempt is not something I want to spend my TV time on.
But I will continue to watch NCIS, Castle and NCIS:Los Angeles. NCIS continues to be brilliant, Castle is going to wonderful this season and blow my mind and NCIS:Los Angeles has improved so much and become so good that I just have to continue watching it. Not to mention the fact that Deeks and Kensi are just too funny to resist.
So I am excited for this year´s TV season.
I never got into the Mentalist or Criminal Minds as they just reminded me of cheesy versions of other cop shows. I have always found Bones to be pretty entertaining and that didn’t change with season 7. In fact, it’s one of my favorite shows to watch from my Hopper. I work late nights for DISH and I rely on my DVRs Primetime Anytime function to capture most of my favorite shows. The added bonus here is that when I get home from work I can watch Bones commercial free thanks to Auto Hop, and interruption free thanks to my kids early bed time.
