New, but I've never seen an episode of Grimm in my entire life?

Ok,

was just joking

There are only 35 of us Grimmies

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

As with all Ryan Murphy shows, this looks great and I can't wait to watch two seasons before it devolves into crap and I suffer on for another season or two before finally giving up on it.

Don't worry, While Grimm started off fairly strong, it has in recent seasons dipped into Helix-level bad.

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

They should have guest stars that get killed off before the opening credits, kind of like how Naked Gun did it

 

[Raptomex]

I've gained interest in this. Emma is looking good, too.

Well, at least you didn't say Under the Dome level bad, but I'd even go as far to say there were some glaring obvious story devices that separate Helix and Grimm.

 

[Bladenic]

here for charisma

The only reason I may consider watching this tragedy.

Never seen Under the Dome. Have no intention on changing that. Helix was at least sometimes fun. Grimm started off really strong with a lot of potential. I felt like it was always solid but never reached greatness. Towards the end of season 3 the show started it's downward spiral with season 4 being terrible. The levels of drama are horrid with characters constantly getting pregnant for multiple baby drama plots, etc. It's reached dumb level.

Still interested in seeing season 5 if nothing more then the monster of the week episodes I guess. Still hope the overall show improves with season 5.

 

[T.O.P]

Is anyone doing an OT or something for this?

 

[Apathy]

As long as Emma Roberts is in it, I'll watch.

i guess this will serve as the OT

i'll PM a mod to get a thread title change

 

[jon bones]

updated the OP & title, added some review bits - looks like it could be good!

 

[TripOpt55]

Can't wait to watch this tonight!

 

[Somnia]

Have it set up on my DVR, hoping it's good!

 

[Zalasta]

How about posting a range of reviews rather than just the favorable ones? Metacritic currently at 57.

 

[CDX]

This looks like it could be great.

But even if it actually is great, it's Ryan Murphy, so after a brief period of greatness it will turn into complete crap. That seems to be Ryan's pattern with TV shows.

With that said, I still think I'm going to check this out.

 

[Floridian]

This is the first season i'm watching. Going in blind too.

 

[kingkitty]

i don't bother with AHS

but i'll check out this pilot

knowing the creators, it'll totally shit the bed by season 2 or 3

Reviews:

Whatever your perspective, if the idea of Glee or Popular spiked with wanton slaughter sounds appealing, Scream Queens initially should have you covered.

Get past the baubles, though, and the series simply feels too derivative to be truly exciting or particularly suspenseful. So while the casting and format should be enough to help Scream Queens make some initial noise ratings-wise, creatively speaking, there’s just not much here to shout about.

Scream Queens is completely clueless about what’s actually scary, and its comedy is ugly and mean-spirited, full of hateful stereotypes and casual misogyny.

In a way, "Scream Queens" is a combination of all [Murphy's previous] shows. Just not in a good way.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh.

It... literally is a mash-up of Glee and American Horror Story?

Is it gonna be shitty like both of those?

.

Only reason to watch this is for Jamie Lee Cammy. Same as American Horror Story with Jessica Lange (now, Gaga and Matt Bomer).

I doubt it'll keep the quality if it goes insane like Glee and Nip/Tuck did.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

if they're going with sorority slasher i'd want some nudity in there.

as a basic cable show i'm envisioning a pretty tame series in all regards.

really dislike the devil costume too.

Reviews:

The reviews are all over the place ahah

 

[Dereck]

Only slightly interested because of Keke.

 

[botty]

add Ariana to the OT.

 

[ivysaur12]

Interesting reviews. Also not surprised.

 

[Taruranto]

Eh sure why not, I guess I'll watch.

 

[Ricker]

Have it set up on my DVR, hoping it's good!

Same...crosses fingers.

 

[TJ Bennett]

Thanks in advance to all those who tune in tonight!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Thanks in advance to all those who tune in tonight!

You work on the show?

 

[Owzers]

I'm in for tonight's premiere, hoping to find a new show i like to join Last Man on Earth.

 

[TJ Bennett]

You work on the show?

Associate Producer. Started working on it back in March.

 

[ivysaur12]

Thanks in advance to all those who tune in tonight!

and he we go, looking down the barrel of another season...

 

[Cipher Peon]

The thought of "Mean Girls" (one of my favorite movies of all time) meets "Scream" (REALLY one of my favorite movies of all time) makes my excitement reach incalculable levels...

Oh.

It... literally is a mash-up of Glee and American Horror Story?

...but this concerns me, though. I didn't like Glee or AHS. But honestly, with the Scream show (which I LOOOOOOOOVE), Ash vs Evil Dead, Rob Zombie's Trapped, Fear The Walking Dead coming/arrived, there's a lot to chew on for horror television. And I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting stuff, too.

Associate Producer. Started working on it back in March.

That's awesome! Congrats on getting the show off of the ground!

 

[botty]

rooting for this show for obvious reasons.

In that case, I hope the show does well!

 

[Phreaker]

I hope it's great, will watch. Kappa

What are you on this season, Ivy?

 

[DominoKid]

lmao this joint silly as shit already

 

[Slayven]

Damn they going hard

 

[dead souls]

Interesting reviews. Also not surprised.

Ryan Murphy is definitely someone you either love or hate.

I watched all of Glee and Nip/Tuck so I guess that shows which category I'm in

Spoiler

the batshit insane one.

 

[Floridian]

white mammy lol

 

[Baroquemantic]

Yeah, this show is going to be ridiculous.

 

[B-Dex]

I already cannot believe half the shit I just heard.

 

[BigMastadon]

2spooky4me

 

[FoneBone]

I guess I'll give the pilot a shot, but everything I read makes this sound like a combination of the worst aspects of both AHS and Glee.

 

[Phreaker]

I already cannot believe half the shit I just heard.

I know, I have a feeling it will go over a lot of people's heads. It's giving me Heathers, loving it so far!

 

[Slayven]

So I am guessing that the

Spoiler

father

will be the killer, the twist being the

Spoiler

dean helped him

 

[Baroquemantic]

Honestly, I think it's terrible so far, but I'll watch the rest anyway.

 

[User 463088]

White Mammy was Ms. Applegate from Power Rangers, right? Loving this so far.

 

[BigMastadon]

Blumpkin drop on Fox. Nice.
