I only watched one Friday show, but did manage to catch up on Modern Family, so I’ll include my thoughts on that one as well.
Fringe: Season 4 – Over the past two seasons, Fringe has quietly become one of the best shows on television, and the season premiere was no exception. Though on the surface it appeared to be a simple return to the case of the week formula it followed for much of its first season, it’s actually doing something much more interesting. In effect, it has now created a third parallel universe and potentially erased all of the history it has built to date. I love that the producers seem to be comfortable with trying whatever they think will make for the best story, without worrying about alienating new viewers or being too abstract for broadcast networks.
Verdict: Watch it
Modern Family: Season 3 - Along with Community, Modern Family is the most reliably great comedy on broadcast. The premiere continued that streak, while also making some fairly large changes. I don’t think this show has even reached its peak yet.
Verdict: Watch it
We’re coming to the end of the bulk of fall premieres. On Sunday I’ll be watching Boardwalk Empire, Amazing Race, and Pan Am. I’ll be back with my thoughts Monday.
Sleep well,
DTE
