Stalker has an interesting premise and good leads, but I see it getting tiring very quickly. I have some hopes CBS could have another prestige Good Wife-esque drama with Madam Secretary, but I'm not completely sold.The lead performance looks good though. I jumped a bit when the Extant guy flipped open part of his kid's back. Other than that, all these shows look very generic. Typical CBS fare.
ReplyDeleteThe McCarthy's is looking good too!!
ReplyDeleteI stopped the trailer of Scorpion bc I'm not interested, I may try the pilot
ReplyDeleteStalker just screams Kevin Williamson, but it has Maggie Q so I'll try it for a few episodes. The rest, meh.
ReplyDeleteStalker looks good, Scorpion may be on my watchlist.
ReplyDeleteMadam Secretary and Extant: Definitely in.
The McCarthys and the number of times they said "Good Wife"..
Only Stalker and Extant look appealing to me. Madame Secretary looks OK but its a bit too cheesy.
ReplyDeleteThe McCarthys is full of gay cliches and borderline offensive. I did not laugh once.
Im going to watch NCIS New Orleans as i have been wanting to watch a NCIS for a while and the other ones have way to many episodes to catch up on.
ReplyDeleteAlso i will be watching Madam Secretary which looks great and has a great cast , I may also watch Stalker and Extant.
So Scorpion & stalker are killing it! The Scorpion team is working, I hope they can keep the level along the show.
ReplyDeleteSTALKER looks intense, Maggie really bought me hear.
EXTANT resembles much a film with Johnny depp & Charlize Theron.
Secretary looks strong, but maybe a bit to snoozy. I will have to make a tough choice what to watch in the fall.
Worst batch of shows for me but Stalker and Extant look like good shows.
ReplyDeleteScorpion looks exciting! I'm quite excited at how this will unravel!
ReplyDeleteScorpion looks much more impressive than I thought and Stalker looks as good as it's premise. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteStalker- Criminal Minds with two strong leads but from the creator of The Following is such a negative
ReplyDeleteScorpion- better than the logline would suggest, geniuses working together to solve problems could be fun
Madame Secretary- looks like it might be good but I feel indifferent to it
Extant- was already looking forward to this. Knew that the son was not exactly "human" before seeing the promo
Stalker is already my favorite.
ReplyDeleteExtant remind me "The Astronaut's wife", a old movie starring Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron on a really bad way.
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek, New Orleans and The Odd Couple, are the ones I'm most looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteStalker - I wanted to like Stalker because I like Maggie Q (Nikita was awesome) but I don't think I'll be watching this for two reasons: 1) Dylan McDermott and 2) This seems like an ultra-specific Criminal Minds.
ReplyDeleteScorpion - I was about ready to give up on this halfway through the trailer but then it got just good enough to keep me watching. I'll end up checking this show out but I fully expect it to bomb.
NCIS: Gumbo - Meh. It was alright but I don't think I liked it enough to keep watching.
Madam Secretary - This looked a lot better than I thought it would. I might give this a three episode trial run in the fall.
Extant - I'm skeptical but I'll check out an episode or two but this seems like the type of show that would bore me rather quickly.
Yup, I'm definitely watching Stalker after seeing that trailer.
ReplyDeleteStalker is The Following with Stalkers.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sold on any of them but this promos are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLoved Scorpion, Ncis, stalker, battle creek, madame secretary and even extant in spite of hating anything alien-related.
Madame Secretary looks AMAZING. I didn't even think i'd like it, but it's dramatic but also hilarious. OMG WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteAHH AND STALKER LOOKS AMAZING TOO!!!
ReplyDeleteMaggie Q looks stunning! can't wait to see her again. Although that makes me miss Nikita even more. :( Also wan to check out Madam Secretary and Extante, maybe.
ReplyDeleteOnly Extant. Thanks for sucking so hard CBS, fewer shows to worry about missing out on.
ReplyDeleteFirst impression....
ReplyDeleteABC needs to take lessons on promo construction from CBS! XD
Everything but Extant gets a watch from me, although I'd guess a few won't get past 2 or 3 episodes.
STALKER LOOKS EPIC!!
ReplyDeleteMost of these look really boring and bland. I might watch the pilot of Extant but that's probably it for me.
ReplyDeleteFirst impressions... not that great. Most look like they will bore me and I couldn't even get through the entire trailer for McCarthy's it is so not even close to being funny. The laugh-track is unbearable.
ReplyDeleteExtant and Stalker are the only ones I'll be checking out.
Extant seems like it's much more suited as a movie (getting slight Astronaut's Wife vibe); not sold on it as a week by week show, but I'll give it a go.
I think I'll like Scorpion, but I think it's going to struggle against Sleepy Hollow...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, even if the shows end up being bad, these were some nice trailers! XD
ReplyDeleteI think they are quite happy "sucking" as the most watched network on TV..
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and they have been for 8 of the last 9 years.
That's gotta suck. XD
Exactly.
ReplyDeleteA good trailer will not necessarily make me watch a show for the whole season, but a terrible trailer almost always stop me from even watching in the first place..
Only thing that looks awesome is Stalker, Maggie Q all the way!!! Will be watching Extant :)
ReplyDeleteHa true but ratings doesn't mean they have quality programming. And they obviously think CBS now stands for Crime Broadcasting Station.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree, too many cops shows but they fill a niche in the overall broadcast spectrum. ABC is soap operas and/ or kid friendly, FOX is high octane/ low depth, NBC seems to have taken over the serialized shows, and CBS is the grounded procedural channel.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I prefer cable over all the networks! XD
Less shoehorning shows into a given network's traditional formula.
That said, what CBS does, they do well.
I agree, they are not all top notch TV shows, but they are consistently packaged and polished. They often cancel shows with ratings other channels would kill for! Something to be said for having a working formula... even if you personally do not like it.
Stalker looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe McCarthys got me lauging a lot.
Stalker Looks absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteahhh procedural-ville that is CBS, but I'm interested in Stalker and Madame Secretary, and then Scorpion. definitely will be checking out Extant this summer as well
ReplyDelete"THE Good Wife"
ReplyDeleteLove Stalker. Great dynamics between Maggie and Dylan. Knew from the start (before the promos and promotional pics were released) that this new show would be awesome. Can't wait to watch :)
ReplyDeleteWell it looks great among other thinks. But my favorites are NCIS New Orleans and Scorpio.
ReplyDeleteExtantBattle CreekCSI: CyberNCIS: New OrleansScorpionStalkerThe McCarthysThe Odd Couple
ReplyDeleteExtant: This summer's Under The Dome? Okay.... I'll buy it... it looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteMadame Secretary: not a bad seed in the cast, and the trailer sold me. I feel it can make a good companion piece for The Good Wife.
NCIS.NO: I know if I zap through it TV I'll probably watch it, but I also know I won't actively seek it out either.
Scorpion: I believe CBS might be grooming this one as a Mentalist successor. I'm game.
Stalker: Interesting subject material for a procedural. Good cast... Sure sure.
McCarthy's: No! Even though I love Laure Metcalf and Jack McGee, the verdict on this one is a resounding NO!
These all look good! I don't really watch a lot of CBS, but I will check most of these out (except maybe NCIS: NO). Some of these have very interesting premises. Not really into comedies, but I may try The McCarthys just for THE Good Wife jokes.
ReplyDeleteThe best promo belongs to "Extant" IMO. "Stalker" looks OK but I think the concept is diffrenet but the story is a limited one. Why? I highly doubt that the show has "excitement" and "thriller" factor. Every episode, they will be chasing someone. If it were like CSI, I would say OK. There is scientific research and that will be appealing but in this concept, what will be appealing for the viewers? I don't know.
ReplyDeleteExtant looks really good, will try that one. Scorpion looks better than I was expecting as well. Stalker looks a bit blah and The McCarthys looks terrible.
ReplyDeleteStalker and Extant look good to me. I'll be watching them for sure.
ReplyDeleteI will check Extant, Stalker, Battle Creek, Scorpion and Madam Secretary. Extant looks good, I'm really intrigued.
ReplyDeleteWell, hello there Daren Kagasof ! Definitely going to check out Stalker, probably won't sleep for days. And will also try Scorpion !
ReplyDeleteI might check out all the dramas. Definitely NCIS: New Orleans, Madam Secretary and Stalker. Even Scorpion looks somewhat interesting.
ReplyDeleteExtant: I've been looking forward to this show for a while now.
ReplyDeleteMadam Secretary: I'm not sure what I wanted this show to be but this doesn't seem interesting.
Scorpion: I'll check it out but I'm not too interested in it right now.
Stalker: Looks like the typical procedural with a restricted pool of potential perpetrators. If they add enough serialized elements I might stick with it.
Was it just me, or did all those trailers seem good to anyone else? I now want to check out everything.
ReplyDeleteIt was not just you! XD
ReplyDeleteI liked all of them too even though I know that a few of the series are completely not my thing!
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. :) After watching the promos for the CW and FOX fall shows, and not liking most of them, I'm beginning to think I'm 30 going on 60. I'm definitely not skewing towards my demographic. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThe premise of Stalker and Scorpion interested me the moment they were picked up, but after seeing the promos, I'll only check Scorpion.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even finished the promo vid of Madame Secretary ¬.¬
NCIS whatever... meh
Stalker and scorpions have a good plot. Extact I need to see the first episode
