Forget the crisp air and golden leaves, Fall TV waits for no one, not even a nasty cold. As new premieres and returning giants keep rolling in, I may be bundled up with tea and tissues, but there’s still plenty of essential viewing to discuss.
I’ll admit, this past week wasn’t my most productive; a nasty cold knocked me out just as Fall TV hit full throttle. But even when I’m down for the count, the TV world never slows down.
So, this week’s TV Corner Notes is a little different, think of it as your cozy “catch-up” edition. I’m rounding up recent reviews and previews you might have missed (ICYMI), plus everything you’ll want to watch in the days ahead as Premiere Week V rolls into full swing.
