I'm really looking forward to Designated Survivor, but other than that unless the trailers come out and wow me this is probably the worst slate of new shows for any network.

I'm going to be nice and guess that since it's her childhood imaginary friend that the dated nature of that joke is entirely intentional.

Teek posted:Designated Survivor looks good, but I have to question why the government would keep the "designated survivor" in the same city as everyone else, surely they should be in a completely different state. It doesn't matter either way I'm guessing within the context of the show, but it still seems dumb. Guess they just really want him to look at the window and see the destroyed capital building. Since 9/11 the actual designated survivors tapped have to be close to the White House. Before that it was just whatever you normally did keep doing it.
