There is seemingly no end to how much I talk about television with you guys. And here we are again. What can I say? I love watching TV. I’m not watching as many shows as I used to and, despite summers past, I anticipate a light TV schedule this summer. Below are the shows that I’m into right now that don’t go together at all.
The Profit (CNBC)
Like Bar Rescue, but better. The show, where Marcus Lemonis offers a failing company money in exchange for part ownership, is starting its third season next month. I enjoy Marcus far more than the guy on Bar Rescue. He doesn’t do all the crazy yelling seen on BR. I also like the element of surprise at the end. You never know if they’ll actually agree to the deal. I’ve only seen three episodes so far, and only one has ended up with the owners and Marcus coming to an agreement and moving forward together.
About a Boy (NBC)
I only watched this show because I adore David Walton. I have a fairly good radar when it comes to shows that don’t have a chance, but I let myself like this one anyway. It’s pretty dry, but adorable. I mean, come on, it’s David Walton!
Daredevil (Netflix)
With the exception of Ironman, Thor, and Arrow, I haven’t been the biggest superhero fan these days. I can’t watch Agents of Shield or Agent Carter, thought the last two Superman movies were complete trash, and didn’t see the last two movies in the Batman triology. However, excellent casting of Matt Murdock/Daredevil (I hardly remember the movie, can’t say for sure if I’ve seen it) and Rosario Dawson as a nurse named Claire drew me into this show. Their chemistry is GREAT; love their scenes together. If they can fix Fisk (say that 10 times fast), I could continue to be down for this one.
