 | The Fall TV Season is right around the corner - and, if you are like me, you may need a quick refresher on the various finales and cliffhangers from your favorite returning shows. Some shows have been re-running their finales recently, and some are available in various streaming forms, but here is a quick recap of some of the returning shows we follow here at GG Inc. Today, Sunday through Tuesday Shows... |
***Contains spoilers if you haven't caught up - after the break***
Once Upon a Time (Sundays at 8 on ABC, Premieres 9/28/14)
When we last left Storybrook, it was 'happy endings' all round - at least for a minute. The Wicked Witch was defeated, the Charming's baby was born safely, Rumple and Belle got married, Emma and Hook finally got to smooching, and Regina and Robin Hood's flirting turned into a full-on romance. Then Maid Marion turned out to be the girl Emma saved from the past - oops, sorry Regina, no happy ending for you. (BTW - I love Regina and was totally miffed by this turn of events!) Also, in case you haven't missed the ridiculous amount of clips, stories and ads this summer, Elsa and Co. are bringing a Frozen theme to the upcoming season. I'm not sure how I feel about milking that cash cow so blatantly, but as long as they give me enough Hook for my trouble, I'm still in.

The third season was made available for streaming on Netflix back on Aug. 29 for those of you that need to catch up.
Fox Sunday Nights (Animation Domination + Brooklyn 99)
This has been a staple of my Sundays for many a year even though the line-up is changing, I'm still all in. My favorite, Bob's Burgers, is now at 7:30, followed byThe Simpsons at 8. The sophomore sitcom hit Brooklyn 99 at 8:30, Family Guy at 9pm, and new sitcom Mulaney at 9:30pm rounds out this night of comedy. This season will bring us Family Guy/Simpsons and a Futurama/Simpsons cross-over episodes - and any Bob's Burgers is great Bob's Burgers. More Tina! More Louise!

The first three seasons are currently available for streaming on Netflix. Season 4 will be available for your binge-watching pleasure starting Sunday, Sept. 28 - leaving approximately two weeks for new and old fans to watch all 16 episodes before the premiere on October 12th.

Instead of the peaceful commune they were expecting, Terminus appears to be a canniballistic hellhole. How will Rick and company escape? Have Glen and Maggie finally been reunited just to die in terror?
The show will still be followed by Chris Hardwick's The Talking Dead aftershow at 10pm.

Sleepy Hollow (Mondays on Fox at 9pm, Premieres 9/22/14)
First off, let me tell you that they are re-running the 2-hour season finale this Thursday night (9/18) if you really need to catch up - I know I do! This show is bat-shit nuts in the best way possible. Hulu Plus is your only option to watch all of season one if you are late to the game on this one. I recommend watching it live and cuddling up to your smartphone and follow Orlando Jones as he live tweets the episodes. He is hilarious.

The show left off with Ichabod learning the sin-eater, Henry, is really his and Katrina's long-lost crazy-ass son (and the second Horseman of the Apocalypse) and before being buried alive. Abby gets trapped in purgatory, Jenny may be dying, and Katrina, now back in our reality, is in the clutches of the Headless Horseman. Oh, and Captain Irving is in prison for murder. Let's see them get out of this mess!
Castle (Mondays at 10pm on ABC, Premieres 9/29/14)
Though not technically a genre show, it has Captain Tightpants, and that is good enough for me. The finale brought us the day we'd all been waiting for - Beckett and Castle's wedding. Of, course on the way to the wedding, Castle is driven off the road by a mysterious vehicle and disappears. The final image of Kate in her wedding dress watching his car burn (she thinks with him inside) would hold more angst if we didn't all know he isn't dead - the show is called Castle after all...

New Monday shows include Gotham and Scorpion.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Tuesdays at 9pm on ABC, Premieres 9/23/14)
After the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, this show went from hit-and-miss to must-see TV in a hot second. Hopefully you all stuck with it like I did and made it to the epic season finale, with a major guest spot by the man himself, Nick Fury! There are too many plot threads to detail, but here are a few highlights: May kicking Ward's HYDRA ass. Did I mention May kicking Ward's ass? Yeah. It was worth mentioning twice.

After defeating Garrett (Bill Paxton) the team is left in charge of rebuilding SHIELD, and we are further teased with the introduction of Skye's father as the next big bad. Oh, and Fitz is in a coma after sacrificing himself to save Simmons. The 23rd is right around the corner, and I can't wait!
Supernatural (Tuesdays at 9pm on the CW, Premieres 10/7/14)
Ah, Supernatural. The cult classic of modern American TV cult classics. Welcome to season 10, boys. The finale episodes brought us the end of (the fabulous) Abbadon, (the annoying) Metatron, and the beginning of life as a demon for Dean.

The fantastic Mark Sheppard has been brought up to series regular (finally) for season 10 - which means there will be much Demon Dean/Crowley hilarity to come. We also have the promise of a musical for the 200th episode to look forward to - their 'meta' episodes are never to be missed!
New Tuesday shows include The Flash and Forever.
