I am going to check out the ones that you mentioned and also

Bull

Good Place

Conviction

MacGyver

I'm prepared to check out just about anything to find something decent to watch

We only have local and a few of the low grade satillite channels too but since I record everything I don't see previews of what's to come via commercials. Instead I wait until people here start talking about shows and then I give them a try.

I really enjoy the Chicago shows

Chicago PD

Chicago Fire

Chicago ER

Then there's

The Voice which should be interesting with Alisha Keys on it. I really like her.

Blue Bloods

Madam Secretary

AND....I'm hoping that the Masterpiece Theater comes out with something fun this season too.

WaPo gives Bull a D+ and MacGuyver a C+. Conviction a C- and the Good Place a C.

Timeless and This is Us get pretty good marks. Timeless is more sci-fi type, which I like. Plus it stars Goran Visjnic from ER...a favorite of mine!

Most of the good shows it seems are on premium channels, and I won't pay for them. Network TV really isn't that great I'm afraid.

I didn't have Timeless on my list but will add it. This is Us doesn't interest me.

Oh, don't let me forget This is Us! Not just because you know who will be on it, but it looks like a great show. ;)

Here's the official trailer for This Is Us.

We have basic cable. Blindspot, The Blacklist, and Law & Order SVU are the ones I don't miss. I sometimes watch Chicago PD. I hope the new Kevin James show is good. I wouldn't mind adding one more show - something happy to the mix. The last network comedy show I enjoyed was The Office. I cannot believe 2 Broke Girls make it past a few episodes and I'm also quite surprised by Superstore. I gave up on both of them after probably 2-3 episodes.

I'm boycotting tv since the demise of Downton Abby :( Why oh WHY did they have to bring that to an end? Not the type of show I'd watch but I love Kiefer Sutherland so I'm going to give Designated Survivor a shot. The Voice. I really don't know what's coming for the Fall. Don't do sitcoms. Can't watch gory stuff :o I'm missing a lot of shows that just ended tho.

ETA: This is Us looks pretty good :)

Shee, I watched (for five minutes) 2 Broke Girls twice, once to see what it was about, and the second time to see if it was still bad. Oh my gosh. That has to be the worst show ever. The canned laughter after every sentence! Is it still on?

Our internet is too slow for streaming so I'm kind of bummed all the new shows are on Netflix.

There are a lot of good shows on cable stations that aren't premium cable. AMC (Better Call Saul) and FX (The Americans) always have good offerings. Now, their "seasons" aren't the traditional September-to-May, 22-episode seasons we're accustomed to from the network TV of our youth. The cable series usually have 13-episode "seasons" and aren't tied to the usual calendar. I think Saul and The Americans will have new seasons starting around February.

I just started watching Quarry on Cinemax. It is going to be a goodie!

It is about a Vietnam vet who comes home to an America that loathes him. He cannot find a job and it goes from there. It is very interesting. I am not telling too much you just need to watch it.

Darn, I just saw you do not have cable. Well for those who do you should give this one a go!

I wanted to watch Quarry but I can't get it. :(

Oakley, why not just upgrade your internet? We got rid of satellite and have an HD antenna (attic) plus Netflix. It's either $10 or $11 a month, I can't remember.

Lukki, I like Chicago Med too.

I hate sitcoms as a rule. The canned laughter is so annoying. However, I like Kristen Bell and Ted Danson so I will check out The Good Place to see if it is watchable. I plan to check out Conviction, Timeless and Pure Genius, too.

I haven't even paid much attention yet to the new shows but This is Us is on my radar to check out. I do like some of the actors who will be in new series like Ted Danson and Michael Weatherly (who I think will be in Bull). And I will watch my old favorites, Grey's and Amazing Race.

For PBS Masterpiece fans, this one got stellar reviews:

As much as I'd like to, I tend to get busy in the evenings during the week and miss the shows. But, this season, I'm really going to try and watch Speechless, Designated Survivor and Big Bang Theory.

Nanny, I love Masterpiece and this looked interesting to me too. The first episode was on last week in our area. It is beautifully done but their accents were so heavy, I had a problem understanding the actors. To my ear it was like they were mumbling.

Looking forward to Showtime's Shameless - returns Oct 2 and not its usual early Jan

The new Minnie Driver comedy Speechless premise looks interesting w/having a child with special needs

Lukki, closed captioning is mandatory!

I agree that closed captioning is a miracle when you have difficulty making out what the actors are saying.

Tina, if we do upgrade it would have to be through a satellite system, which we don't use for our internet. The reason streaming is slow for us is because of our location in the country. If we lived in town we'd have fast streaming.

Not to be confused with fast internet service when we're online. It's fast online but not for Netflix, etc.

I read that the trailer above for This is Us is the most viewed trailer for Fall TV shows, and also there are massive views to it's facebook page.

I need to tell DH about Quarry.

DH said he's already watching Quarry and it's good. However, he described it as " brutally violent." Not my cup of tea. lol

Oakley - Yes, somehow it's going on quite a few seasons now. If I'm flipping through channels at night I noticed they even play nightly reruns. I remember DH and I saying the show would never make it. The find the extreme personalities of both girls grating, but I think the constant smart sarcasm of the dark haired girl is way worse.

Only caught about 10 min. of the Kevin James show so can't make much of a decision at this point.

Oakley, we are rural too. Before we added Netflix, we updated our internet. It's all the same internet for computers/netflix, etc. We are able to go through AT&T.

I watched This is Us last night but fell asleep! I was able to watch the ending this morning. It was pretty good.

I watched Bull last night and will watch it again.

I did too, blfenton, and I'll be back for more. Watched This is Us and will likely watch more. Although I was a little disappointed with the Kevin character and his hissy fit, I'm sure more will be revealed about him/his character. I wasn't too surprised at the ending. I kept wondering why the OB doc's scrubs looked so out of date.

Designated Survivor, Pitch, maybe This is Us, 24:Legacy, and I started watching Quarry (so far, so good). The returns of Secrets and Lies, American Crime, American Crime Story (NO/Katrina), Prison Break (!). I also started the first ep of The Good Place, I like Kristen Bell, and I don't like many sitcoms. I probably won't watch Bull. I kinda thought the premier of NCIS dragged. And my usual reality competition shows, Survivor, Amazing Race, Top Chef, Project Runway, and RuPaul's Drag Race (congrats to RuPaul on the Emmy!).

Tina, we can't get AT&T. We have 3 choices of internet providers, our local phone company, and two satellite services.

We use our phone company which serves a large part of OK, and if I have a problem they're here within hours. Love it!

Except for streaming, we're completely happy with our service.

AT&T is our local phone provider. Bummer on the streaming!

I recorded This Is Us last night, haven't watched it yet. I also think Speechless looks like it could be worth watching.

Otherwise, I have enough trouble finding time to watch my "regular" shows: Grays Anatomy, Scandal, Homeland...when DH isn't monopolizing the TV with baseball, football, etc.

Ah, just saw the new promo for Tom Hardy's Taboo, early 2017. Can't. Wait!

Sue, you need a second TV.

This Is Us was good. Forgot to watch Speechless and Designated Survivor. Tonight it's Grey's, How to Get Away With Murder and the Blacklist. Guess I'll be tuning in to On Demand to catch up along with Big Bang Theory and Modern Family.

Watched Designated Survivor last night and really enjoyed it. But am waiting for Jack to appear!

Forgot to watch This is Us. Watched Designated Survivor. I've set it to record all season. We're in the country too and have to use satellite for our internet. It costs us $63 for a 10(TEN)GB plan. 20GB (anytime) is as high as they offer. I just read that a 300GB download plan is average to low average in America :o Our download speed, on a good day is 10Mbps, so, no streaming for us :( Well look at me go! My current download speed is between 16 and 17Mbsp <lol> Gotta love country life!
