Misspoufy, you are probably not old enough to remember the original Muppets show in the 1970s. It was very similar to this version and very much geared to adults (but still in a pg way). As an adult back then, I loved the show and its humor. I don't feel they are taking anything away from the kid's show (sesame street) but are adding so that all ages can enjoy.

Loved loved LOVED "The Muppet Show"! It was filmed in that fake documentary way like "The Office" and "Modern Family".
Kermit's diary comments about Miss Piggy were priceless! LOL

I watched Scream Queens last night. Anyone else catch it? I loved it. Silly, campy fun...plus an intriguing mystery as well. Will definitely be watching next week.

Spoton, I'd bet I'm probably older than you are. I had kids in the 70's and would not call The Muppets show in any way geared to adults. (except perhaps for the old guys in the balcony...they were adult funny). From what I have read this will not be kid friendly. I'll still take a pass.

I have Scream Queens recorded. Wasn't going to but when I saw Leah Michelle was on it and Ryan Murphy is involved I was interested...although if you tell me Ariana Grande is one of the first to die I would be so happy ... LOL!

Rflol I WAS a kid in the 70's and couldn't be bothered staying in the room while my parents watched the Muppets. It was true family fare, pg for kids and skits with the current celebs of the day for the rest.

Oh good -- regarding Scream Queens. Grande was giving me pause. Love Leah Michelle and of course Jaime Curtis.
I tuned into the muppets just because the million moms don't want me to. I didn't see anything inappropriate. I have a hunch they haven't seen the show. The adult humor will go right over kids heads. Things like the dinner with Fozzie the bear and the girl's parent's comments. It was funny.

I did like Limitless, action was fast and special effects just as good as in the movie. It felt a bit like a sequel to the movie (I don't think Bradley Cooper will be seen often enough) on this show but it was a good kick for the premiere episode.
I saw a thread on Minority Report but not on Limitless which I think was better than Minority Report.
Also Blindspot was intriguing enough for me to keep watching.
Next on my pvr future recording are Quantico, Blood and Oil and Code Black.

I'm not feeling Scream Queens at all. I couldn't get through the two hour premiere. It's too much camp. I guess I don't like horror and camp together. Is it a comedy or a horror? It was too sophomoric. Too bad, because I really wanted to love this.

Watched Castle over Blindspot but would like to see both.
Watched a few minutes of Scream Queens and admit I loved the take on the Ariana character texting with the red devil rather then talking to him while he's standing right in front of her. Text til you drop - literally!
I liked Limitless enough to give it a try for a few more episodes.

I really enjoyed Limitless even though it looks like they used the formula for "Castle" to make it. Just throw in some sci-fi and voila!...Limitless!
A female detective pairs up with a male consultant...a civilian with great deductive reasoning...and she establishes a sublot of wanting to find out the mystery behind the death of her father. Sound familar?

Is there a possibility we could have a thread for Scream Queens so we can discuss it?

Dang I missed it. Figured it's not for me (didn't care for the previous HEROES) but wanted to give it another chance.

I liked blindspot and the player enough to keep watching, as well as Heroes Reborn ... But Quantico definitely is the best so far for new TV - I am engaged in all the characters and want to know ALL their back stories...(the audio cut off on limitless so I have to watch it online later and post in that thread)
