Fall 2013 Television: A Guide
It's been really difficult watching all this trash, but I've done it so that you guys don't have to!

This year's fall television offerings have been diverse and varied. However, after much watching a careful analysis, I've produced the following summary, which breaks down the major difference between some of this seasons hot shows.

Hope you all find this helpful! Once again, there's a lot of variety to choose from in the TV guide, so I hope this makes it easy for everyone to find a show that meets their own preferences.

Enjoy!


Hostages

The Main Character
Dr. Ellen is a woman with an important job. For some irrelevant reason, she was chosen for an even more important task, just because of who she is!

Significant Other
Dr. Ellen has a beta husband who can't imagine life without her and would do anything for her. Despite cheating on her because she spends more time at work than at home, he ultimately is willing to give up his life for her and her kids. Naturally, he isn't the real breadwinner.

Sidekick
Male, handsome, good with guns and clever. But he really needs Ellen to accomplish his objectives. Without her, all he can do is twirl around and shoot stuff. Which he looks good while doing.

Wise old dude
Just talks in slow, calculated phrases. Is always a step ahead of everyone else. Helps Ellen discover the right path (Episode 7). Something of a father figure.

The Blacklist

The Main Character
Elizabeth is a woman with an important job. For some irrelevant reason, she was chosen for an even more important task, just because of who she is!

Significant Other
Elizabeth has a beta husband who can't imagine life without her and would do anything for her. Naturally, he isn't the real breadwinner.

Sidekick
Male, handsome, good with guns and clever. But he really needs Elizabeth to accomplish his objectives. Without her, all he can do is twirl around and shoot stuff. Which he looks good while doing.

Wise old dude
Just talks in slow, calculated phrases. Is always a step ahead of everyone else. Helps Elizabeth discover the right path. Something of a father figure.

Nikita

The Main Character

Significant Other
Male, handsome, good with guns and clever. But he really needs Elizabeth to accomplish his objectives. Without her, all he can do is twirl around and shoot stuff. Which he looks good while doing.

Badass, but ultimately beta, he can't imagine life without her and would do anything for her.

Naturally, he isn't the real breadwinner.

Sidekick
Male, nerdy, good with computers and clever. But he really needs Elizabeth to accomplish his objectives. Without her, all he can do is twirl around and hack stuff.

Wise old dude
Just talks in slow, calculated phrases. Is always a step ahead of everyone else. Helps Nikita discover the right path. Something of a father figure. Of course, at the end of the day, he is a liar (bad father).

Revenge

The Main Character
Emily is a woman with an important purpose. For some irrelevant reason, she has the ability to do important things, just because of who she is!

Significant Other
Emily has a beta husband who can't imagine life without her and would do anything for her. Naturally, he isn't the real breadwinner.

Significant Other
Olivia has a beta boyfriend who can't imagine life without her and would do anything for her. Naturally, he isn't the real breadwinner.

Sidekick
Male, nerdy, good with computers and clever. But he really needs Olivia to accomplish his objectives. Without her, all he can do is twirl around and hack stuff.

Wise old dude
Just talks in slow, calculated phrases. Is always a step ahead of everyone else. Helps Olivia discover the right path. Something of a father figure.

Orange is the New Black

The Main Character
Piper is a woman with an unfair situation that she can't believe could happen to her!. For some irrelevant reason, she has the ability to do accomplish important things, just because of who she is!

Significant Other
Piper has a beta fiancé who can't imagine life without her and would do anything for her. Naturally, he isn't the real breadwinner.

Sidekick
No male sidekicks, she's an all female prison. But there is a good looking prison guard who falls in love with a stupid fatty.

Wise old dude
Just talks in slow, calculated phrases. Is always a step ahead of everyone else. Attempts to help Piper discover the right path. Something of a father figure, except he's also a dick and throws Piper in the SHU.


Oh ya. Almost forgot. Spoilers alert!

I like Tomorrow People but it could probably be broken down like this. Dracula is pretty good except for the American accent Dracula has.

If you're a comics fan, or enjoyed the most recent Batman movies, don't sleep on "Arrow"

Been getting better every week:

Arrow, Walking Dead, and Eastbound & Down are pretty much the only TV shows I watch these days.

Average TV show with horrible writing, shitty dialogue and contrived situations that make the characters act stupid to advance story...however, it's shot well, has excellent pacing, zombies and...

The end of a Mad Men episode: *Looks at the suit in the closet* I gotta go chop some girls...

The end of a Breaking Bad episode: Holy shit that was insane! I wonder what's going to happen next week? Maybe it was ________________?

The end of a Walking Dead episode: ...Okay, well I'm going to sleep.

I saw an episode of Scandal about a month ago at a girl's place...some of the worst overacting I've ever seen.

Only TV I watch: Mad Men (awesome), Breaking Bad (awesome), Game of Thrones (awesome), The Walking Dead (usually just once), sporting events, most things on the History Channel or National Geographic and re-runs of classic Simpsons and South Park (I would watch the shit out of old Sopranos but its hard to find channels with it on).

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? More like Manginas: by Joss Whedon (I've never seen it...but it's honorary Feminist faggot Joss Whedon, so I doubt I'm stretching).

The Walking Dead works well when it isn't just in one setting (Farm, Prison)
It has the worst logic though, frustrating to watch and annoying female characters (slightly changing this season)

I will stick to Empire Boardwalk.

I can't watch regular TV with these superwomen characters.

RE: Fall 2013 Television: A Guide
LOL, ok guys.

The Walking Dead

The Main Character
Rick is a man with an important job. For some reason, he manages to survive a the initial stage of a zombie apocalypse. He continues to survive because of the hard work he put into training as a law enforcement officer prior to the zombie outbreak. He isn't chosen for the important task of being the leader of a group of survivors, but steps up because he knows what needs to be done and makes it happen by pure guts and trial and error.

When he realizes that the time for dictatorship has come to a conclusion, he has the balls to establish a semi-democratic counsel in his place, recognizing his own imperfections and continues to work hard to lead by example, attempting to establish a less violent lifestyle as a farmer.

Significant Other
Rick has a bitch wife that sleeps around behind his back (when she thinks he is dead) and attempts to outsmart him by keeping this a secret when he comes back. He doesn't easily accept her cuckolding and remains super alpha, if not imperfect.

She dies. Good riddance.

Sidekick
Male, ugly, good with guns and clever. But he really needs Rick to lead the group.. Without him, all he can do is twirl around and shoot stuff. Which he looks good while doing.

Wise old dude
Just talks in slow, calculated phrases. Is always a step ahead of everyone else. Repeatedly helps Rick discover the right path. Something of a father figure.
