Ok dus wel goed doorlopend verhaal naar het einde toe? En hoe zit dat bij Gotham?

Ja zeker een doorlopend verhaal, zonder tijd te rekken. Gotham ben ik na een aantal afleveringen mee gestopt. Geen idee hoe het seizoen nu is maar het was voor mij niet interessant genoeg om te blijven volgen.

Wow das veel. Hoe kom je daar zo aan die info? Heb je ook beschrijvingen en wanneer ze uitkomen? Ik heb tot nu toe alleen Arrow gekeken maar daar werd ik op een gegeven moment flauw van. Daredevil ga ik zeker nog kijken en voor de rest weet ik het nog niet.

Kijk jij the Flash ook? Is dat nou een case of the week serie of een doorlopend verhaal? Hoor er verschillende berichten over..

Gotham is wel de meest realistische van de drie, erg sterk ook vind ik. Arrow is duister en The Flash is behoorlijk luchtig

Je moet series ook de tijd geven he. Ik ben nu bv Southland aan het kijken en dat begint toch niet zo super sterk maar word steeds beter. Zo werkt dat wel bij meer series. Th Flash schijnt ook heel slecht te beginnen maar steeds beter te worden.

We zijn nu voor de 3e keer met GoT begonnen, nu bij aflevering 5, eerst alleen gekeken in 2011 tot aflevering 6 ofzo, toen 2 jaar later samen tot aflevering 4 en nu opnieuw samen. Aangezien het nog steeds loopt en mensen er lyrisch over blijven willen we sowieso tot ergens begin seizoen 2 kijken, dus een serie een kans geven doen we wel

Omdat er zo verschrikkelijk veel karakters zijn is het in het begin wat moeilijk te volgen, maar het wordt steeds leuker wanneer je alle personages begint te herkennen en hun onderlinge relaties wat beter snapt.

Wow. Dat je moeite hebt met GOT is wel heel bizar. Of je moet absoluut niet van het genre houden dan. Ik heb bij GOT de eerste twee seizoenen er gelijk 8 achter elkaar gekeken.

Fall TV: Uncle Buck Is a Go at ABC

ABC has picked up a fourth “new” comedy for the 2015-16 TV season: a(nother) small-screen adaptation of the 1989 feature Uncle Buck.

Based on the hit John Candy-starrer, the sitcom stars Mike Epps as Uncle Buck, a fun-loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and a place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s nanny has just quit, and his brother and sister-in-law (Las Vegas‘ James Lesure and Third Watch‘s Nia Long) need his help.

As TV luck would have it, Uncle Buck’s unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the family — while they may be the answer to his problems, too.

CBS back in 1990 attempted an Uncle Buck series, fronted by Kevin Meaney, but it was very short-lived.

Fox on Thursday added a pair of wildly different series to its 2015-2016 schedule: the Rob Lowe-led comedy The Grinder and the murder procedural Rosewood.

Let’s start with The Grinder, a comedy about TV lawyer Dean “The Grinder” Sanderson (Lowe) who finds himself at a major crossroads when his long-running hit show comes to an end. Ultimately, he decides to move back to his tiny home town, where he fully believes he has the know-how to run his real-life family’s law firm. The Grinder also stars Fred Savage (The Wonder Years), Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), William Devane (24: Live Another Day) and Hana Hayes.

Rosewood Fox PilotRosewood stars Morris Chestnut (Legends) as top Miami pathologist Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr., known for finding “the secrets in bodies that others usually miss.” A lover of life and an eternal optimist, Dr. Rosewood often finds himself at odds with the grouchy female detective (Jaina Lee Ortiz) he’s been saddled with — not that she doesn’t see the value in his skills. Rosewood also stars Gabrielle Dennis (The Game), Anna Konkle and Maggie Elizabeth Jones (Ben and Kate).

The Grinder and Rosewood join Scream Queens and the six-episode X-Files revival as Fox’s first 2015-16 pickups.
