Season Premiere of How I Met Your Mother - I read periodically that some viewers have negative feelings about Ted. I like him. I don't understand what people's problem is. He's a nice, passionate guy who knows what he wants. I'm not saying he's perfect, but what exactly do people not like? I don't get it. Anyway - the season premiere was sweet (Barney and Robin) and funny (Ted), and hopeful (Marshall and Lily). I think this show is well-written, well-plotted, and well-acted. Glad its back!
Series Premiere of Accidentally on Purpose - I'm sorry to say I didn't enjoy this show for many reasons. 1) Irresponsible sex isn't funny, 2) I watched Ugly Betty and Extras and liked the characters played by Ashley Jensen. I don't like her character on this show. 3) The trio of companions is similar to the trio on Samantha Who? 4) I think the male lead acted way too earnest to be realistic. Everything seemed forced and uncomfortable - like he's acting in a high school play trying to be an adult. Except this time, its an adult trying to act like he's younger. 5) The difference in age thing seems irrelevant and old-fashioned. There isn't that much going on with people of different ages anymore - at least I think so. 6) The slacker buddies are a snore. 7) I'm not interested in shows about pregnancy or babies. I might give this show a couple more tries, but it doesn't look good so far. Also, I don't think its made for me.
Season Premiere of The Big Bang Theory - The best part of the show was at the end when Penny and Leonard realized it is weird. There were many funny moments and I enjoy this show a lot. Sometimes I get bored with how picky Sheldon is. I like him and its 95% funny, but 5% of the time its an easy shot. And how much would so many people put up with that kind of behavior. I understand many people assume Sheldon has Asperger's Syndrome which adds another layer that I'm not sure how I feel about. Anyway - I like the show a lot and am glad it came back as well.
