Grimm is broadcast at the same time as Fringe. I love Fringe so maybe I’ll start watching Grimm after Fringe‘s season/series finale. Revolution is still holding tight to my interest. I will always watch Supernatural. I’ve stopped recording shows to watch later because I had too many shows recorded to watch later, that never were watched.
The surprise for me is Arrow. I had an hour to kill before Fringe last Friday, so I watched the encore broadcast of Arrow‘s premiere. Kind of surprised by the show; kind of not. Some of the characters were as uninteresting as I thought they’d be: the rich kid with a mission; the lawyer with a heart of gold; the skeevy friend of the rich kid. Yawn. However, the detective with a grudge against the rich kid; the rich kid’s mother and step-father; and the rich kid’s body guard, definitely generated some interest for me. The fight scenes were outstanding. Whoever choreographed the fight scenes (was it Bamford?) deserves an Emmy. If there isn’t an Emmy given for choreographing fight scenes, well, there should be.
This week, I may turn on the TV an hour early on Wednesday, and watch the next episode of Arrow since it comes on right before Supernatural.
Sorry about the over abundance of italics in the first sentence of my previous post. Forgot to close a tag.
The sentence should read, “Grimm is broadcast at the same time as Fringe.”
