I find I am focusing in on the new Fall shows later and later - with only 1 or 2 exceptions, I really had no awareness of most of these. I found a quick guide on the WaPo that listed 25 new shows (well, 26, but I am leaving off "Transparent" which I will be watching, but is streamed on Amazon). Based on those descriptions and recommendations, and my own sometimes perverse predilections, I have assigned them to 4 categories: "Definitely record", "Trial record" (which also means they will likely loose any recording face-off decisions with higher ranked shows; the notation "sucker" here means I gather from the critics this is probably a dog, but since I am a sucker for this kind of show I will probably try to watch it to decide for myself. Several to many of these will probably either not survive face-off decisions, or never get watched by me as they build up on my DVR and I hear bad word of mouth); "Probably Not" (open to upgrading if I get strong recommendations from others) and "No" (will not record even if others say it is great - may watch in a few years if proven wrong). This list is supposed to include all new dramas and sitcoms, but not reality shows or specials.
I am soliciting any quick hits on any of these, especially those with recommendations to move up or down programs I have placed in the middle two categories: *Yes* 1. Madam Secretary 2. Gotham *Trial* 1. Survivor's Remorse 2. Jane The Virgin 3. Forever (still grieving premature loss of “Amsterdam”) 4. Gracepoint (I never saw Broadchurch, so I might try this first) 5. NCIS: New Orleans (sucker) 6. State of Affairs (sucker) 7. Scorpion (sucker) 8. Stalker (sucker) 9. Selfie (This would be “No", but Karen Gilian, so…) *Probably Not* 1. Blackish 2. Cristela 3. Mulaney 4. The Affair 5. The Flash 6. The Mysteries of Laura *No* 1. How To Get Away With Murder 2. Marry Me 3. Bad Judge 4. Manhattan Love Story 5. A to Z 6. Red Band Society 7. The McCarthys 8.
