Whew and just like that the 2012-2013 TV season is over. The Emmys were last night, crowning one of the best seasons in TV history in one of the wildest shows you’ll ever see. There were upsets galore and terrible twerking jokes and weird choices all over the place and so I’ve decided to break down the highlights here.
How did the Emmy awards sneak up on me like this? Did you all realize they were this coming Sunday? It’s been very interesting that this year, despite the really exciting nominees, this year’s Emmys don’t seem that exciting. That doesn’t mean that I won’t do a final round of Emmy predictions, so never fear! Anyways, I have faith in about 2 of these picks so take them with a grain of salt.
Fall is a busy time for most people, but especially those who are invested in film and tv shows such as I. Hope springs eternally for the TV networks as they bring back their ratings hits and try and introduce new TV shows, hoping they will be hits as well. I took a gander at the 59+ show slate of fall premieres and decided to pick 10 new and returning tv shows that I’d be most excited to watch. Here’s the list!
Fall TV is almost upon us and both here and over at AwardsCircuit.com, I’ll be talking lots of TV. I thought I’d start off my coverage by talking about something that has been on my mind for a while. There is a lot of high concept television being put out now and with the rise of cable shows has come a desire to curate highly loyal and rabid fans. One way shows manage to that is by creating complex narratives, that often make the viewer work a little harder by asking the viewer to make logic leaps. Or more recently, intentionally leaving things out of the narrative presented to the audience. It’s certainly one way to engage your audience, by constantly having them pour through the plot and analyze every detail, whilst building their own theories and opinions.
Have you all been watching the new season of Breaking Bad? I have literally only seen two episodes of that show because someone who shall remain nameless is making me DVR them. Anyways, I’ve been looking at the conversation surrounding the show and others that focus around anti-heroes and have begun to ponder what exactly is making us all so enthralled with anti-heroes and if it will end sooner than we think.
Teen Wolf season 3 just finished it’s summer run and if nothing else, it gave us a lot to talk about and an immense amount of entertainment during the summer. Now that the dust has seemingly settled, I took a bit of time to reread all of my recaps and listen to all of my Demon Wolfcasts to cohere my thoughts into one place. I tried to take a balanced approach, given that I am reviewing half a season. So without further ado, here’s the good, bad and ugly for Teen Wolf Season 3A!
