Reserving judgement until I watch the pilot. However,the synopsis gives the impression that this is a show I'd watch on Netflix. I don't have the sense that I'll be waiting with bated breath each week to catch the next episode.

This SciFi Chick and her “chick-lets” are already fans!
Our family viewing schedule has added another show! The “chick-lets” love having a show
centered on a brave, crossbow toting heroine. I enjoy the escapist fun. I'm not going to over think this
one. I just want to enjoy. I love post apocalyptic settings! And there has been a hole in my
apocalyptic lovin' heart ever since Jericho and Jeremiah were
cancelled. And with Supernatural's Eric Kripke and Fringe/Lost J.J Abrams
behind the wheel I am in for the long haul. The show also gets bonus points for hiring such directing talent as Jon
Favreau (Ironman), and acting talent as Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, Once
Upon a Time) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost). We are watching this show "live".

Airs:Premieres Wednesday October 10th, 8/7c
The Plot: CW's Green Arrow is based on Andy Diggle's "Green Arrow: Year One". If you are not familiar with the story, it goes something like this: Billion playboy Oliver Queen turns vigilante after spending five years as a castaway on an island. The shipwreck killed his lover and lead to his father's suicide. Queen goes back to Sterling City for revenge. The show will be using flashbacks to Queen's time on the island to develop his backstory.

Ok, I'll have to admit
it. I stuck through all 10 seasons of CW's Smallville. The
good, the bad and Lana develops superpower years, too! While Arrow's producer
Marc Guggenheim claims that Arrow will be more Dark
Knight Rises than Samllville, I am skeptical that the
CW is capable of making a show as dark as the Batman movies. The Green Arrow
and the Black Canary are my favorite DC superheroes. So, will
most definitely be "DVRing" Arrow and watching
it when the chick-lets are at school. I am a sucker for a superhero!
Trailer:The Neighbors (A New Series)
Airs: Premieres Wednesday Sept 26th 9:30/8:30c however, it's regular time is Wednesday at 8:30/7:30c the new time starts Oct. 3rd.

I have a bad feeling. I am hoping for another 3rd Rock from the Sun but I'm afraid we might get an Alf. I'll check out the premiere before I pass judgement.

American Horror Story (Returning Season 2)
Network: FX
Airs: Premieres Wednesday October 17th,10/9c
Where we left off: American Horror Story is an anthology series and last season it completely wrapped up it's storyline. We will be seeing some returning actors but the plot will be all new!
What to expect: This season is set in a spooky Asylum in the 1960's! Expect high creep factor and NC-17 sex scenes. But, I've learned not to expect any ghosts this season.

Er, ahh... I guess it's time to for me to publicly admit I lost track of BBT in it's first season. I always meant to get back to watching it but now I find myself seasons behind! At this point, I am hoping it will show up on Netflix. I am so far behind it would cost me a small fortune on iTunes to watch all the seasons. So, I'll be skipping this season until I catch up. But, I know plenty of SciFi fans who will be watching this one "live".

Beauty and the Beast (A New Series)
Network: CW
Airs: Premieres Thursday October 11th, 9/8c
The Plot: Detective Catherine Chandler (the beauty) is rescued in the pilot
by former army doctor, Vincent Koslow (the beast). He is a man with a mysterious past.
Catherine will keep encountering Vincent as she investigates her "case of
the week"
A SciFi Chick Muses Rating:
A
remake of the 1980's cult classic but, I think that is a loose comparison. In
this version the Beast has a scar and his beastliness is an
internal struggle. That sounds more like Jekyll and Hyde! Is this
just a carbon copy of Smallville? Lana Lang, oops, I mean Catherine
being continually rescued by a handsome stranger with secrets. How
many times will she be conveniently knocked unconscious before she
learns his identity? Don't get me wrong, I watched Smallville, but
by the time that series wrapped up I was ready for it to be off the air! And if
I have to choose between Smallville knock offs, I'm going to
choose Arrow because at least I get a cool superhero. I
will not be watching this one live or DVRing. Maybe, when it goes to Netflix, I'll check it out. If any of my blog following peeps like it and you
think I SERIOUSLY need to check it out! Post me a comment!

The woman is his Mother.

A SciFi Chick Muses Rating:
I caught up with this series this summer. It's no Buffy, but I like it well enough. I can't watch it live because it competes with Fringe. Why they moved it to the Friday night death spot is beyond me! Fringe barely survived this spot! And to have it compete with Finge's final season gives me the impression that the network is trying to kill this series. I'll be watching this series on Hulu or NBC.com.

Where we left off: I really don't know. I haven't been watching this one and researching it's plot was confusing. So, I just decided not too!

Well, one thing is for sure after reading up on this show I feel the need to start watching it! Sounds like it might have gotten better in Season 2! Looks like I can catch up on the other seasons at Amazon Prime or iTunes. They don't have it on Netflix streaming but they do have the discs. I only do the streaming. I don't like messing with discs.
