Sir Griffin's Look at the Fall TV Schedule: Fox

Image
So it's time to look at the shows that will be coming to us this fall and mid-season on the Fox broadcasting network.  When Fox started out that put out a lot of crap and I do mean a lot of crap.  Since then they have been just like any other network with their hits and misses.  Well, I can already tell you that there are some hits and misses coming up so let's stop chattering about it and take a look. Allen Gregory:   With the exception of Family Guy I have never been particularly impressed with the animated offerings from Fox.  I watched The Simpsons once and when I stopped vomiting I vowed never to watch it again.  With that in mind I was delighted by the trailer for Allen Gregory.  Allen is a seven year old child who is somewhat of a genius.  He has composed operas, written novels and is a fan of pinot grigio.  Allen lives with his father, Richard, and his life partner, Jeremy, whom Allen does not particularly care for.  Until now ...

Sir Griffin's Look at the Fall TV Schedule: The CW

As we continue our look at the fall schedule we come to The CW.  Now, I know some of you kids out there are clamoring for a story about dining out.  Don't worry, it will happen and it will be soon.  However, just as many have been clamoring for further looks at fall TV.  Sir Griffin is unable to please everyone at the same time, so I must make a decision and tonight's decision is TV.  So away we go... Hart of Dixie Hart of Dixie:   Rachel Bilson plays a New York City doctor that somehow ends up working at a small practice in Alabama.  Then she finds real southern people that talk funny!  How original!  I'll bet she feels really out of place and then finds love and somehow manages to fit in.  I liked it better when Michael J Fox did it in Doc Hollywood 20 years ago.  Look, Rachel Bilson is super cute but there is no way I could sit through this drivel.  Chances of me watching?  What did I just say?...

Sir Griffin's Look at the Fall TV Schedule: CBS

We continue our look at the new fall programming with CBS.  Now, CBS has long been known as TV for old people.  Since I fit into that category there are a number of shows I already watch on CBS.  And while I do occasionally see things like CSI and NCIS, I do not make a habit of seeing them.  They are not must see TV for me, but rather Lady Gianna is watching them and I am sitting with her as she does.  So let's end the delay and get right to the new shows. 2 Broke Girls 2 Broke Girls:   I have a confession to make.  I have always found Kat Dennings to be irresistibly sexy.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's her attitude, maybe it's her face or maybe it's her really big boobs.  Whatever the reason I cannot look away when she is onscreen and this show is no exception.  The show is set in NYC and takes place in what appears to be a lousy diner.  Kat plays Max, a waitress from a poor working class family and the very bea...
