TV update!

So, in a post about new midseason shows, I covered a few. Here's what I've been watching that I haven't been relentlessly blogging:

Arrow: (CW, Wednesdays 8 PM) Yes I'm blogging it but just need to say I love this show I love this show I FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW. And the producers are self-admitted Whovians, which they say is why they got John Barrowman and Alex Kingston in the same episode!

Body of Proof: (ABC, Tuesdays 9 PM) Still an enjoyable forensics show. 

Bones: (Fox, Mondays 8 PM) Meh. Nothing particularly interesting lately, and it's been getting a bit like CSI: After-School Specials, it feels.

Continuum: (Syfy, return TBA) I'm actually really, really liking this series. Things get very interesting in the last few episodes of the first season!

Criminal Minds: (CBS, Wednesdays 9 PM) This is alternating between being like almost-softcore-torture-porn, and having some really, really interesting episodes with unexpected endings.

Cult: (CW, um... when?) I think the only positive point of this show is just how genre-savvy it is - it mercilessly makes fun of the industry. But that's enough to keep me watching. It's been shuffled around time slots, because it used to be Thursday, but then a week and a half ago I found it in the Friday Night Death Slot, so I'm guessing it's doomed. Unless the fact that a lot of it is filmed using the WB lot as "on location" happens to make it worth the few viewers it brings in.

Elementary: (CBS, Thursdays 10 PM) So much love for this show, and it just keeps getting better. If you don't already, watch it. 'Nuff said.

Glee: (Fox, Thursdays 9 PM) Somehow, this show went from over-the-top satire, to confusion, and now it's surprisingly good and has a more diverse cast than ever. Plus, they have been doing some truly amazing songs - including a rendition of "In Your Eyes" complete with a boombox, and a wonderful mashup of "Bye Bye Bye" and "I Want It That Way." 

Grimm: (NBC, Fridays 9 PM) The plot is really, really picking up and I'm really liking it. Also, this show is doing a good job of surviving the Friday Night Death Slot, as some SF shows do - and probably with an increased audience now that Fringe (RIP) is off the air.

Haven: (Syfy, returns fall 2013) I love this show. I started it after one of my friends who watched Fringe liked it. The first season was very, very reminiscent of old-school X-Files. (There was a guy whose shadow killed people in one episode, I know for sure. But they solved it by surrounding him with ambient light)

Law & Order: SVU: (NBC, Wednesdays 9 PM) Still full of ripped-from-the-headlines cases, as usual. I'm liking the two new detectives, though.

Project Runway: (Lifetime, Thursdays 9 PM) There's not anyone I love this year, but there was an episode with male stripper. And the team dynamic is really interesting.

The Following: (Fox, Mondays 9 PM) This is a lot better than I expected. Granted, Kevin Bacon's character likes to go alone into places where he knows that there are serial killers, a lot. The story is moving, and it's actually not going down the apparently obvious plot lines.
