So no opinions on the Blacklist? I need a new Monday show now that Under the Dome is done, Revolution is sucking on Wednesdays instead, and I'm about to quit Sleepy Hollow.

I enjoyed it, but not enough to start a thread about it. I'm going to DVR it when I'm not in the Pacific time zone, but I won't skip RAW for it. That James Spader sure loves to wear hats!

I watched it Monday and thought it was a weak "Silence of the Lambs" saved only by James Spader. I have a feeling it is going to be "lather, rinse, repeat" each week with the plots and if so I will drop off early. I would rather they do a season arc than a week to week plot.
I am all in on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Agents of SHIELD." I'll probably give "Trophy Wife" a few more episodes since Michela Watkins is the most underrated funny actress going. Still waiting on Michael J. Fox's show and "Hello Ladies." "Mom" got one episode and yeah, I'm not bothering to watch ever again.
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
The Michael J. Fox Show gets 10/10 points for self-awareness. First episode was definitely better than the second, but I enjoyed it and plan to keep up with it.
Crazy Ones was pretty good. Its probably a good idea to keep it a half an hour. I liked Robin/SMG relationship and SMG is willing to impress herself a bit. The wife hates Brooklyn 99, but likes Dads.
The Wee Baby Sheamus.Twitter: @realjoecarfley its a bit more toned down there. A bit.
I didn't want to like B99, but I got reluctantly pulled in, and will likely continue watching for the time being.
There was nothing to dislike about Trophy Wife, and I love Malin Akerman (who was great in this), but I didn't like enough to keep watching.
While The Goldbergs was funny, I was annoyed while watching it because of the gimmick. Please watch our show about the 80s! Look at all of the 80s songs and 80s movies and other 80s things we reference! Was ready to give up on it until I saw the closing credits, where they showed the real-life footage that inspired all of the scenes in the show. I enjoyed seeing that. Will give it another couple of episodes.
Look forward to watching Back in the Game and the MJF Show, but will have to rely on other's opinions on Super Fun Night, cause I ain't watching that.

The pilot was just WAY too over the top--I'm not sure whether we were meant to believe that the bad guys had that incredibly elaborate bridge kidnapping set up just in case the Feds stumbled onto their plot, or that the bad guys sent James Spader in to tell the Feds about because an incredibly elaborate bridge kidnapping was preferable to just grabbing the kid, but either way it was insane. Spader is good, but not much else about the show was. There was just enough that I'll try to find time for it for another week or two.
As for other new shows, Brooklyn 9-9's pilot was better than I expected. Haven't yet found time to watch Agents of SHIELD or The Michael J Fox Show, but I definitely will.
I just watched the first two episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I am all in. I feel they have done a good job of bringing in the cast in small doses and it seems like an excellent mix. I laughed during both episodes, especially the pilot, and it is now on my season DVR.
Finally watched The Blacklist. I thought it was good. The kidnapping looked a lot like a heist I pulled in Grand Theft Auto V, but then I'm filtering everything crime-related through GTA V lately. Basically, The Blacklist felt like Silence of the Lambs if Hannibal Lecter were also a fan of Alias and said to himself, "I'm gonna find me a hotter girl than Jodie Foster." I'll hang with Spader for a while and see where this is going.

It was pretty much ruined for me by factors beyond its control (I was having problems with my printer which put me in a totally foul mood), but I'm excited to see where they go with this. Do you think Alicia and Cary end up with their own firm, or do they end up staying?

I always figured they would break away, but I don't see how that works in the scheme of the show. You end up creating all new characters in a new firm, and you dump the ones you've already created (rather well, in many cases).
If I had to guess, I'm thinking that Alicia and Cary have to throw the rest of the fourth years under the bus and they stay with the firm.

Next prediction after last night - The new firm name is Gardner, Florick and Agos.
