TV Schedule - Summer 2017
 
UPDATE: The long awaited update for summer is finally here. This is a minor update as the summer season (May-July) is the smallest of the year compared to the "Fall" schedule (August onwards) and New Year. I will be making additions and little changes over the next month or so as you leave messages asking for series to be added to the list but the biggest update of the year will be in July where we start fresh for the new Fall tv season.

The list is in chronological order although I am listing new series separately so they stand out and you can give them greater consideration if you are looking for something new to seek your teeth in to. This is by no means an exhaustive list of every series in existence and is only the series which I watch/will be watching. In the event that I have missed something out or you would like to see something added to the list please say so and I'll do my best to get it added.

Returning Series

Prison Break season 5 - Tuesday 4th March
12 Monkeys season 3 - Friday 19th May
Fear the Walking Dead season 3 - Sunday 4th June
Dark Matter season 3 - Friday 9th June
Wynonna Earp season 2 - Friday 9th June
The Last Ship - season 4 - Sunday 18th June

Looking forward to many of those coming back and also a few new series. Lethal weapon does look like it might be fun and Frequency might be good as I do like the original movie version as well.

Stranger things looks interesting, fills the void the X-files and Fringe have left. Frequency and Timeless interest me too.

Anything on Lucifer s2 and Legends of tomorrow/Justice society? Excited for The Flash: Flashpoint. Must have missed the 5 other seasons of The Expanse haha. Didn't spot that at first.

I will need to check out Stranger Things. I forgot it is on Netflix.

Re: Fall 2016/2017 TV Schedule
 
Pretty high ratings and a full seasons availability because of its Netflix status. That's that added to my list.

I can't stand LoT, I think it is one of the worst series every made. I know many forum members enjoy though and in the interests of fairness I will add it to the list. One of the admins is looking into giving me privileges for this thread so I can keep it up to date.

Arse, I read your post twice and wondered what you was on about and I have just clicked :doh:

Wasn't that impressed by the first season of it but typically the ending and justice society cross will force me to watch it again :dunce:

Still one can hope they bin Hawkgirl and Ray palmer along with their ridiculously bad love Triangle.

She's with Cisco Ramon before ditching him with little issue to run off with her true soulmate before he ends up dying and she then hooks up with Ray and loves him just as easily. Then that turns into an awkward mess.

In other words whomever wrote that awful love story wants sacked. There was no need for a forced love plot.

Many thanks to Paul, I have got magical editing powers for my posts and can make adjustments going forward. I'll look into Lucifer etc and update accordingly when I am more awake later on today :)

Pretty brilliant from the few I've just watched. Great mix of horror and mystery with paranormal elements thrown in. Great bit of X-files style conspiracy in there too. Surprisingly unpredictable too.

Might save it till I am off work for a couple of weeks. Surgery recovery time so will need plenty to watch.

Anything on NCIS Los Angeles please?

Just done an update so check the list for additions. Westworld is coming out in October as well but I can't find an airdate for it yet. Looks very good though, I saw a trailer for it at the cinema last night in front of Star Trek.

Re: Fall 2016/2017 TV Schedule
 
Lucifer S2 trailer showed during comic con. Looks almighty similar to a hit and miss season 1 and I know its only a trailer but the general thought is if it delves right back into a dull cop procedural and fails to explore the massive supernatural element it has then it'll be DOA and an absolute miracle if it somehow makes a third season. Great idea for a show being executed awfully.

I finished Stranger things anyway. Brilliant from start to end. More like an 8 hour movie than individual episodes. Absolute quality casting for both Adults and Children.

South Park returns for its 20th Season on the 14th September. 20 seasons, having seen every episode I'm starting to realise how long that is. The direction they've went in lately is new and actually quite good. Still delivering massive moral messages within episodes though.

Expect Trump and Clinton to be destroyed. Then again they've already did Clinton once.

Re: Fall 2016/2017 TV Schedule
