It’s no surprise to the folks who have followed me on any social network or website I’ve contributed to that I watch a lot of television. As a stickler for end of the year lists and the such, I decided this year to keep a running list of the TV shows I watch and I
No I am not recapping this season of True Blood cause it has been trash for two seasons straight and tonight’s premiere was a mess. However, I thought you’d all enjoy reading my tweets from the episode. SO I might do this but whatever here are my true blood thoughts. //storify.com/LeNoirAuteur/true-blood-season-7-premiere-tweets/embed?border=false//storify.com/LeNoirAuteur/true-blood-season-7-premiere-tweets.js?border=false [View the story “True
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.
Ah Summer. The time when the weather gets hot, the tv gets slightly trashy, and everyone is generally happier. I, for one, have always enjoyed summer tv shows because it’s one of the few times during the year when creators seem to understand what their shows are about and don’t try and do too much. In the past few years summer has really turned into a breeding ground for tv shows to flourish and so today I thought I’d take a look at the summer shows I’m most anticipating.
Summer is almost upon us which means that all of the fall and spring shows have ended or are ending soon and a new crop of shows is ready to take it’s place (like Teen Wolf and True Blood). Looking back on the season, not much really stood out in terms of appointment TV. Many returning shows like Revenge tried to expand too widely while new shows like The Mindy Project were very uneven. This all led to a Fall/Spring season that while enjoyable, was rarely the remarkable thing we expect from TV these days. But luckily there were some shows that managed to stay above the fray. Peep my top 10 from the Fall/Spring season!
