NPR echoes my own impressions of the forthcoming fall TV season: boring and uninspired. Aside from Fox’s Terra Nova (which has dinosaurs) and NBC’s Prime Suspect (which has Maria Bello), none of the other premiering series holds much interest for me. And even those two shows are likely to be mediocre at best. Instead, my TiVo is primed for the return of Fringe, Boardwalk Empire, and The Walking Dead. Perhaps some other series will catch enough buzz to earn my attention, but I’m skeptical. And a dearth of interesting new programming should speed along my efforts to re-read the first four Song of Ice and Fire novels before tackling A Dance with Dragons.
