Prime Picks
Bones (FOX): Season Premiere. Booth comes across an old Army buddy and now CIA agent taking evidence from their latest crime scene.
Sleepy Hollow (FOX): Series Premiere. Ichabod Crane awakes in a cave some 250 years in the future and comes to find that evil has come along with him to modern-day Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod ends up teaming up with Det. Abbie Mills after the Headless Horseman takes out the local sheriff. Plays again Friday night. I just don’t know what to make of this show. At times it comes across just as silly as it sounds and at other it plays it totally straight. They setup plenty of big overarching story elements that could end up being really fun should they decide what kind of show they want it to be in the next few episodes. But, it has all the feel of a show that will have a strong cult following, but will that be enough to keep it on the air. Yet, it is the best option in its time period, pretty much by default, as I don’t watch Dancing With the Stars or The Voice and it’s competition scripted-wise will be the pretty bad Beauty and the Beast and CBS comedies 2 Broke Girls/Mom. I talked about Sleepy Hollow and the rest of the FOX Fall Schedule with @AmyTVGal and @danielletbd on the TV times Three Podcast.
Under the Dome (CBS): Season Finale. Big Jim wants to get rid of Barbie for good. Angie, Junior, Norrie and Joe find out who the monarch is.
