My Honest Take On Fall TV!

New Girl returns for another season. But will it survive this round?

Before I go any further, I want to let you know that I am not a TV critic or statistician.

I am a watcher of sitcoms, dramas and sci-fi shows. I don't have cable. I don't watch reality television that much and I tend to watch college football and NFL more. I do like watching college basketball and NBA games but I tend to just stay usually a workaholic and outgoing type.

I want to start off by saying this is an opinion. To all the trolls who may view this, nothing personal.

To anyone who works in the production of these shows, nothing personal.

To those who read this: Thank you.

Okay I am going to be blunt. I am not going to be watching much television this fall. Well I will say that I will make sure that I have access to my smart apps on my phone so if I do happen to miss an episode of a series, I can access it without paying fees.

There are some shows returning to ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW. Many of them have succeeded in carrying into another season. Others are struggling. I may not be a predictor of the future, but I can guide you to website that can tell you what may happen if you foresee a future without a favorite show.

TV By The Numbers is a website I often visit whenever I get a recap of shows. It has the renew/cancellation feature. The writers determine based on reviews which is a go and which is a no.

Some of the freshman shows will premiere in September others will in late Fall or early Winter.

The Mysteries of Laura featuring Debra Messing will continue for a second season. It survived the cut.

Some of the sophomore and long term shows will premiere this season. They will face an audience who could turn a dime when the show "jumps the shark".

Hopefully I see these shows prosper in the future. But I know when it comes to $$$$$$$ and business, it's about who's watching and who's not!

TV By The Numbers often is right on their call. They dub each call "the wrath of the Cancellation Bear." The Bear determines what show is likely to fade and which show continues on.

I don't have no impact on which show stays or goes. I just have this feeling that some of the shows that I've watched over the past year will eventually meet its end. Before I go into the short term shows, I will give you the shows that I believe will end in 2016.

Shows that are anticipated.

1) Empire
2) Modern Family
3) The Big Bang Theory
4) The Flash
5) Scorpion
6) 2 Broke Girls
7) Gotham
8) The X-Files
9) Last Man On Earth
10) Jane The Virgin
11) Scandal
12) How To Get Away With Murder
13) Grey's Anatomy
14) Chicago Med
15) The Muppets
16) The Goldbergs
17) black-ish
18) Heroes Reborn
19) Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
20) Supergirl

I will place my bets on long term shows ending.

1) New Girl (Strong Possibility)
2) The Blacklist (Toss Up)
3) Fresh Off The Boat (Strong Possibility)
4) CSI: Cyber (Strong Possibility)
5) The Odd Couple (Strong Possibility)
6) Galavant (Strong Possibility)
7) Last Man Standing (Likely)
8) Person of Interest (Toss Up)
9) Undateable (Strong Possibility)
10) The Mysteries of Laura (Strong Possibility)
11) Hawaii 5.O (Strong Possibility)
12) Bones  (Likely)
13) Castle (Likely)
14) Madam Secretary (Likely)
15) Mike & Molly (Toss Up)

I have a feeling that these shows will be cancelled before 2016.

1) Life In Pieces
2) Minority Report
3) Bordertown
4) Emerald City
5) You, Me, and the End of the World
6) Dr. Ken
7) Superstore
8) Hot & Bothered
9) Wicked City
10) The Real O'Neals
11) Angel From Hell
12) Houdini and Doyle

The Carmichael Show!

The Carmichael Show will debut on NBC this week. It will feature Jerrod Carmichael, Loretta Devine and David Allan Grier.

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael premieres his sitcom on NBC based off his family. The show is set to go in August for a few episodes. It's the beginning of Fall TV.

NBC is struggling for hits.

The Carmichael Show which will feature Loretta Divine and David Allan Grier will kick off the Fall season of NBC programs. It's a network that is in need of a second life.

It will be on Wednesday night. This is a trial balloon for Summer burn off for NBC. If it succeeds the trial balloon, it will continue through a determined date.

The Carmichael Show is one of the many Black sitcoms to make a presence.

black-ish is the only sitcom on the majors that features a majority Black cast.

Empire is the only drama that features a majority Black cast.

black-ish is a smash comedy featuring Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne. ABC put that in the follow up to Modern Family. It was go for second season.

Fox premiered Empire in January. That show broke records. Over 17 million watched the pilot episode. The drama features Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson and it's a go for September.

ABC green lights Uncle Buck. It's the Black version of the 1980s classic with John Candy.

This one features Mike Epps and Nia Long. This comes in Spring 2015. It is on the bubble already.

Jerrod Carmichael and Amber Stevens West.

Also Ken Jeong's sitcom Dr. Ken will be the follow to Last Man Standing on Fridays. Jeong is entertainer and physician who executive produced the sitcom. He will do a fictionalize version of his rise to fame.

The sitcom fills the spot Cristela held. ABC cut the series out of Fall 2015. Cristela Alonzo is the first Latina to executive produce, write and star in a sitcom.

Also other sitcoms include Fresh Off The Boat. The sitcom is a go for second season. Eddie Huang, famed hip-hop chef and best selling author is executive producer of the show. The show is a semi-biographical story of Eddie's youth growing up in Orlando listening to hip-hop and mastering the art of culinary.

ABC is also bringing back The Muppets. After the failed Muppets Tonight, the ABC/Disney Execs are hoping that Kermit and Miss Piggy's return will help Tuesday nights.

When The Muppets end its season then ABC premieres The Real O'Neals. It's executive produced by LGBT activist Dan Savage and it will feature Martha Plimpton and Jay R. Ferguson.

The CW will continue the sleeper hit Jane The Virgin. The show featuring Gina Rodriguez is a go.

The comedy-drama on The CW got a little more steam after Gina picked up a Golden Globe for being the best actress in a television show. Jane The Virgin is a show that has a majority Hispanic/Latina cast.

NBC also premieres Hot & Bothered. It will feature Eva Longoria and Jencarlos Canela. The show is a fictionalized version of a telenovela. The star is trying to learn Spanish despite being a lead star. It will feature a majority Hispanic/Latina cast.

Are you going to watch these shows?

Send your feedback to me and S. Baldwin.

In the meantime, I will catch The Carmichael Show on Wednesday nights.

The End Of Saturday Morning Cartoons!

Saturday morning cartoons are now extinct.

When the 2014 - 2015 United States television broadcast schedule comes forth you'll start noticing that the Saturday morning programming will be missing a theme of theirs. They will be no cartoons on all the broadcast networks.

As of October, the CW Network will no longer carry the Vortexx cartoon block. They will team up with the Litton Entertainment to run a 5 hour block of reality television for teens and families.

This ends an era of television.

Since the 1960s Saturday morning cartoon blocks were a part of the young child's experience with fantasy and a sense of entertainment. Now these very same children became adults who believe their children or grandchildren are either too fat or too exposed to the negative effects of those very cartoons they've grown up on.

Now if you're a family who can't afford the 3,000 cable channels, your family will wake up to hour blocks of local or national news programs, paid programs and the Litton programs. If you're like me, you just sleep through the mornings and hopefully wake up in the afternoon.

Cause nowadays television programs really suck. They really let the ball drop on television. So instead of paying the millions of dollars for a full season of a television program, they'll purchase the Litton programming to at least meet that quota. Litton Entertainment follows the E/I mandates. So it's likely an educational program at best.

It offers programs that are considered instructional. Basically you're in school on Saturday with those boring blocks of reality television or news programs.

Time to go outside, if it's safe. But nowadays you don't know if Petey Pervert is lurking in your neighborhood. You might even meet Mr. NRA or Lil' Thug when you head outside.

ABC was the first to go forth with reality based Saturday morning programs. Then came Fox, CBS and now the CW. NBC already cancelled their children's program blocks more than once. So it wouldn't matter what they put on.

Don't worry Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel and Cartoon Network are there (for now). But obviously the cartoons have went down in quality too. I mean Spongebob Squarepants, Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time and Clarence are adult themed. The families who allow their children to watch the programs aren't grasping on the programming content.

Besides these networks are slowly phasing out their classic programs and putting on more garbage masquerading as cartoons or budgeting teen based sitcoms. Soon you'll find news programs on these networks as well. They've already gotten rid of the Ronald McDonald, Kellogg's and General Mills brands.

You might have to shelve out some dollars to find it on Netflix, Hulu or YouTube. Or you might have to find that internet nerd who puts that on a torrent online. You may have to find that website where you can see the programs you've grown up as a child.

Sigh!

This is why I call it the junk food media. They have nothing on and its objective is to get people riled up.

Surely you hear it on the airwaves through talk radio and cable news. But now it's on your children's television programs as well.

Liitton Entertainment is an American media and production company based in Charleston, South Carolina, with four additional offices. Many of Litton's programs comply with federally mandated educational and informational requirements.

A New Girl And A Prince!

Zoey Daschanel, Jake Johnson and Prince in the teaser for New Girl. The sitcom comes on after the Superbowl and its a feature on Tuesday nights at 9pm.

Prince makes a rare appearance on Fox's sitcom New Girl.

After the Seattle Seahawks massacred the Denver Broncos in a epic blowout at Superbowl XLVIII, the Fox network decides to run its Tuesday comedies for the after party.

Seattle Seahawks (NFC Champions) won the Superbowl scoring 43 to Denver Broncos (AFC Champions) 8. This gave Payton Manning his first embarrassing loss ever. Congratulations to the Seahawks on their victory.

Anyway, the cast of New Girl was invited to a party and its hosting Prince.

Zoey Deschenel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone and Damon Wayans, Jr. are the stars of the comedy.

Prince Rogers Nelson (born June 7, 1958), known by his mononym Prince, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor. He has produced ten platinum albums and thirty Top 40 singles during his career.

He has written several hundred songs and produces and records his own music for his own music label.

In addition, he has promoted the careers of Sheila E., Carmen Electra, the Time and Vanity 6,

Show creator and executive producer Liz Meriwether said they immediately started planning with an eye toward making a spectacular episode both new viewers and old fans alike would enjoy. "Luckily, Prince reached out to us around the same time, so we started out ahead," Meriwether tells TVGuide.com.

Show creator Liz Meriwether (right) thanks Prince for appearing on the sitcom and promises more features to come.

SPOILER ALERT

When Cece (Hannah Simone) and Jess are nearly run over by Prince's manager, they're invited to an exclusive house party, where Prince will actually perform one of his new songs. Jess will even sing with him at one point as Prince tries to bestow relationship advice on Jess and Nick (Jake Johnson) - who, along with the rest of the guys, has crashed Prince's party.

"A big moment happens for Nick and Jess in their relationship," she says. "They're trying to deal with this big relationship moment at the Prince party, which is an unlikely place to deal with your relationship. Prince ends up helping Jess through this moment by giving her a full mind and body makeover to bring out her most Prince-like qualities."

Shock Jock: Martin Luther King, Jr is a "coon"

Controversial talk duo's "accidental" racial slur. Mike Greenberg of The Mike and Mike in The Morning Show called Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. a coon. The firestorm has generated YouTube buzz and the host released a public statement apologizing for his discretion.

I just came home from the Knicks game and found out about the mess that was created by my garbling a sentence on our show this morning; I apologize for not addressing it sooner.

And I'm sorry that my talking too fast - and slurring my words - might have given people who don't know our show the wrong impression about us, and about me.

I feel horrible about that, because nothing could be further away from who I am and what our show is about.

I would never say anything like that, not in public, or in private, or in the silence of my own mind, and neither would anyone associated with our show, and I'm very sorry that my stumble this morning gave so many people the opposite impression.

The video appears on YouTube.
