Good new TV series

9 years ago

I have watched the first few shows of Battle Creek and am enjoying the writing, acting and character development. It is on Sunday nights and I think it is CBS. The police detective department are all set in their ways. A snappy, handsome detective is assigned to the unit from another city. He seems naive and light in the smarts department, but as time goes by, he seems to have just the right attitude and touch. The Battle Creek staff are suspicious of his background and why he was posted there, but he is a good fit for them.

I'll have to watch it or add it to my list because that's the kind of show I like...I have been watching a show called Bones...It's entertaining and a little funny at the same time...the show is based around a husband and wife team....FBI for him and anthropologist for her and it's always about a body they found and what the bones reveal...

At first I didn't like Battle Creek but decided to give it another chance. Now I'm enjoying it.

Bones is wonderful -- one of my favorites.

I'm glad you posted that Scott's image, I was looking for that two years ago to post here. They used the same image on their TV campaign.

DH and I liked Bletchley and "Bomb Girls". Any day now we are going to start speaking Received English from overexposure to Masterpiece Theater. We are watching "Mr. Selfridge" and "Call the Midwiife" and about to begin "Father Brown". "Breathless" was also just promoted on our PBS station. Oh, and we just finished Season 6 of "Doc Martin". Ta-ta! Time to sound the gong an hour before dinner is served. (I'll be changing into my robe and slippers.)

Hubby likes The Bridge, it aired last year for the first time. We also like Flashpoint, which are both Canadian shows, filmed in Toronto. Another one which was good but not picked up this year was The Border (also Canadian).

Arcy, the show is actually based on a real doctor and real events. Christopher Duntsch - Wikipedia Spoiler Alert (quote from Wiki) . . . . . . . Christopher Daniel Duntsch (born April 3, 1971) is a former American neurosurgeon who has been nicknamed Dr. D. and Dr. Death for gross malpractice resulting in the maiming of several patients' spines and killing two of them while working at hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Duntsch was accused of injuring 33 out of 38 patients in less than two years before his license was revoked by the Texas Medical Board. In 2017, he was convicted of maiming one of his patients and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Bones is my favorite show, and I've never missed an episode. I hope this won't be the last season for it. It is based on the life of Kathy Reichs, who is one of the world's leading forensic anthropologists. She is involved in the production of the show, and has written a number of books, most of which I have read, that are about her character, Dr. Temperance Brennan--who is the main character in Bones.

As for Battle Creek, I wasn't sure about it in the beginning, but I am starting to like it. I will probably continue to watch it, because I like Josh Duhamel.

Hallmark channel has a new series called "The Good Witch", based on the series of movies with the same name. It stars Catherine Bell, and is an enjoyable series.

We really like Battle Creek. I like cop shows with a little humor.

I don't know a 'humorous' cop, unless you mean dark humor. The job doesn't often involve comedy. But...this is fiction, right? (Maybe I'm jaundiced. We've just started Season Four of "Spiral".)

We're a regular Bones watcher as well. I love her straight-forwardness, lack of understanding sarcasm, etc. She reminds me of Sheldon Cooper of BBT, who has Aspergers. Humour goes right over her head, and things are completely black or white.

We tried Battle Creek the first nite and were totally turned off of it. I thought the humour was very weak, and not funny. I despise slap-stick comedy though, so maybe this has some of that, I'm not sure.

Because of the type of humour I like, I found Frasier the ultimate sitcom on tv. Hilarious.

Bones starts again next week. You probably knew that the Bones character is based on the author Kathy Reichs series of books starring Temperance Brennan. Good reads.

I watched the first two shows of Battle Creek and wasn't impressed. I didn't watch it last week but looks like I should try it again so I will.

Love, love, love Big Bang Theory.

I set it up to tape Battle Creek. Oh yes, blfenton, Big Bang is very good. I'm watching less TV now that it's light later. Can be doing things outside, walking the dog, etc.

My whole family loves Bones, as do I. One of my granddaughters was so upset when she was in Washington, DC, and wanted to visit the Royal diner that Tempy and Seely go to only to find out that it did not exist in real life. In fact, she was really angry about it.

WalnutCreek - that is just too funny. Although I do have to agree with her.

I got so tickled at her, but did not laugh out loud, because I knew it would hurt her feelings. And she was not a young kid at the time she was in DC, she was about 24 or 25.

We found a new series called "The Returned" and it is very good.
