My fall TV schedule is atypically light.
With “MasterChef” and “Snowpiercer” just having their season and series finales, respectively, I only have “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesdays and “Survivor” on Wednesdays. I’m using Thursdays to catch up on “The Golden Bachelorette.”
And… that’s it. I’ll only be watching three shows each week compared to last year’s eight.
I won’t be tuning in for the second season of “Sullivan’s Crossing.” I just don’t have any interest. While I really enjoyed season 1 of “House of Villains,” the trailer for the upcoming season isn’t doing it for me. And almost none of the new fall shows, including “Doctor Odyssey,” have struck a chord, although I do plan on watching “Nobody Wants This.”
Perhaps it’s just as well. I still have so many shows on my “to watch” list to catch up on. But knowing me, I’ll probably just keep procrastinating.
