I'm picking up about seven new shows this season, which is more than I usually try to watch. I tend to watch things the day after they air, so I'm trying to stick to a very specific viewing schedule for everything that manages the anime and cartoons and other shows from other countries I watch.
So far I'm loving Brooklyn Nine-Nine. While I enjoyed S.H.I.E.L.D. just fine with its first episode, I didn't get a great feel on the cast of characters. At least two of the main characters felt pretty bland to me and that's never a good thing. Nine-Nine hit the ground running with some solid and smart writing as well as a very colorful cast of characters I enjoyed watching. I'm hoping Fox is smart and moves it away from competing directly against S.H.I.E.L.D. - I don't think any show is going to be able to compete with that thing.
Beyond the "three episode rule" I like to impose on shows, I already see my list getting shorter by at least one: Lucky 7. The ratings for the first episode were terrible and that's such a shame. It's a pretty compelling show with a strong bunch of characters and a lot of different plot lines being set up right there in the first episode. It's difficult not to feel so vested in it, but I'm trying to distance myself just because I don't want to get into yet another show only to have its cancellation looming over.
