Are You Ready For Some TV!!!

First day of Fall is approaching us. Fall signals the start of the TV season for 2015-2016 . So, what will OUTSPOKEN_DIVA start out watching this time. I don't have many changes to my schedule. I do have a lot of reading spots in the schedule. Maybe, I can get some of those free Kindle books I downloaded some time ago read. If I'm not reading then I will be viewing a web show. Oh guess what? My favorite web show, Roomie Lover Friend is on BET at 10pm on Wednesday. I told you guys, the Revolution will Not be televised, it will be on the web, probably on YouTube.

Sunday will be a reading & web show day with one TV break to watch, Last Man on Earth. It's a cult classic on Fox. If you watch it, you know by now Phil/Tandy now has company. Actually he has left "civilization" with Carol to live on their own. What shenanigans will these two get into? I feel like the other Phil even though he is played by Boris Kodjo is fake. Will the others feel this way also.

Monday, I have Big Bang Theory & Jane the Virgin on CBS & CW. We already know for commercials that Leonard & Penny are supposed to get married. I have a theory that once the married man moves out, Stuart will become Sheldon's roommate. Howard wants to put Stuart out, the comic book store is up and running & Sheldon needs a roommate. I'll give Amy & Sheldon until Christmas to continue to be broken up. As for Jane, we will see her navigate life as a single mother. Raphael will take care of his child but I don't see them getting back together this season. Raphael has hotel issues to deal with. I feel like Michael will be around to date her this season until the baby Jane had with Raphael get in the way. The perils of being a new mother with keep Jane a Virgin. So, no need to worry if Jane will remain one.

I already blogged about one of the shows I will watch on Tuesdays. You can read about The Muppets, HERE. Oh and to the reader that sent me an email about The Muppets being puppets and I need to grow up, go play your little video games & Lego sets and leave me to my Muppets. Sorry, about that but cowards love sending mean emails. 

I also have Fresh Off the Boat & Marvel's Agents of Shield.  Fresh Off the Boat lets me relive my younger life. I never remembered that the 90's were so politically incorrect. But there were and I love reliving that time period through the Huangs. I know I have been trying to quit Agents of Shield since half way through the 1st season. This last season was pretty good with them adding the Inhumans, I have to at least start this season.

Morris Chestnut is in a New show called Rosewood. I'm going to start my Wednesday with him playing a private pathologist, where he is highly in demand with law enforcement in Miami, Florida. Actually ABC vs Fox battle for my time between 8-9pm. Wednesday. Empire live and Blackish later on OnDemand.

One or the other needs to be moved up an hour earlier. Blackish to 7:30 or Empire to 7:00
I don't want to dodge spoilers this season.
‪#‎Blackish‬ ~vs~ ‪#‎Empire‬

Last year ABC won because I started with The Middle so, I continue and watched Blackish instead of Empire. I watched Empire later on OnDemand. This year, Fox wins.

Like Tuesdays,  ABC totally wins my Thursday. I will be in Shondaland riding Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, & How to Get Away With Murder screaming TGIT.

Let me say it one time this season, I am a True fan of any show I watch and Grey's Anatomy is No exceptions. I don't give up on a show just because a certain character dies or leaves. With that said, Meredith Grey said in the promo commercial, everything has change and change we will get. My only hope is that  Dr. Miranda Bailey becomes the Chief of Surgery. You guys know by now I am Team Fixer. I could care less or Fitz or Jake. As long as Olivia Pope is doing her job as a crisis manager, I am happy. And I've read that I will be happy many times during this season of Scandal. I've also read and heard that we will find out who murdered Rebecca in the first episode of How to Get Away With Murder. I also want to know who did she text about bringing some eggs to the Keating home. Oh and to see my TGIT eye candy Nate. Free Nate! Free Nate!! Free Nate!!! Oh and Congratulations, to Viola Davis for the Emmy win for her role as Annalise Keating!!!

The Amazing Race on CBS is my type of "reality" show and I watch it on Fridays. My mom and I talk about if we were Racers every week. And yes, I am a Black person with a degree and I am a fan of Tyler Perry's comedies. Not a fan of his dramas but I watch his comedy shows, For Better or Worse & Love Thy Neighbor on OWN on Fridays.

After that, I am catching up on The Middle & Blackish on ABC OnDemand. Sue Heck reminds me of my niece, Alura and Frankie Heck has to based on my mother. And Blackish is my life. I relate to the show.

Saturdays, I call a thing a thing and that is watching Iyanla, Fix My Life on OWN. While she is fixing other people's life, she gives me affirmations to help fix mine also. I know I having messy spots like everyone else and even if the topic doesn't relate to me, I still learn things from that topic. After that I watch Being on Centric and Unsung on TVOne OnDemand. I like learning about celebrities that are or were not big pop culture trends. Plus, I like singing along with the music. Oh Unsung keeps in the "way back machine".

So, that is what I will be watching so far. I live-tweet the following:
Last Man on Earth
Jane the Virgin
The Muppets
Fresh Off the Boat 
Marvel's Agents of Shield
Empire (sometimes)
All of TGIT
The Amazing Race
Iyanla, Fix My Life (sometimes)
You can find me on Twitter @OUTSPOKEN_DIVA, just let me know you read this post in a DM so I will know. Alright, here's to Great TV season!!!

Deception of a Cancellation

OK  I am sighing and rolling my eyes this afternoon. The show "Deception" was cancelled by NBC. Even though we have no idea who Vivianne's killer (the point of the show), the show has been killed. I should be used to it. Lots of shows that I like get the ax. I hate how TV Networks do that. Let the shows have at least a proper ending. One special episode this summer could tie it all up in a little bow.

When I see Networks do this to shows, my mind thinks of many shows from just our recent television pact. "My Name is Ear" is one of those shows. If Darnell was not Earl Jr's father, who is? Who did Mona choose Chase or Lorenzo in the show, "Half & Half". There are shows like "Heroes" and "A Gifted Mind" both ended with questions that need answers.

The show that the Networks did  treated the worse in my opinion was the show "Girlfriends". The CW actually said a finale episode episode would cost too much. I was outraged. A Proper Series Finale would cost too much. A long running show that was showing its ending day was not worth the money of a proper goodbye. Wow, who did the research that helped make that decision? The sad reality is that CW said their reason but all the Networks probably feel that way. If they didn't think that way, then why are so many shows cancelled without an ending. It's all about the dollar line not what is actually the proper thing to do.

Oh well Deception joins the rest in the "Unfinished Series Ending" section of the Television Shows Cemetery. Finished or Unfinished great memories of our favorites will forever live in our hearts

Life Decision about TV

While waiting for my next client, I was looking at The View (love that show) and one of the actors of The Walking Dead was on the couch as a guest and I found out what this popular show is about. Then it hit me being Scripted & Reality TV show everyone and every interest is represented somewhere on TV. In my opinion, if a person wants to watch TV and can't find anything of interest on TV, they're not looking hard enough or don't want to really watch TV
.
It is no secret to the offline world, I watch an obscene amount of TV. I've tried to put it in hours and get embarrassed. I even have the TV on when I read and I read a least 3-4 books a month
.
As I sit here doing this blog I am being reminded of the first show that identified me, the show Daria. I was a dry wit sarcastic nerd of a teenager and I dreaded talking to "stupid" people and couldn't wait to go to college where I belonged. Daria was proof it wasn't just me out there feeling like that. Since then I found myself in other TV characters. There was Joan of the show Girlfriends. The trusty advisor to her friends whose life is just a neurotic as theirs. I can name every one of my friends as a character on Girlfriends. The ill-fated show Emily Owens screamed at me every Tuesday. I am going to miss this show. Woman becomes a doctor, vying the opportunity to assist a renown doctor. She knows she's awkward, accepted it, & made it work for her and people thinks she's cool. Then her high school nemesis walks in and she has not changed. Now balance all of that. I'm good until somebody from my foundation church visits my current church and sees me and wants to talk to me and whoever is around me. I see someone from the "hood" at a restaurant or the mall, I say silent prayers like Emily Owens. Friend Request on Facebook it all makes me feel like Emily Owens. I'm gonna miss that show Emily Owens (Gone to Soon).

Those are just some. I don't think I watch anything that does not reflect me or my interests somewhere. TV is more than just entertainment, it is a reflection of life. Look at what you watch. What does a show say about you?
