As a staunch defiant of the entire, wretched summer season, I desperately look for signs that the heat wave is coming to its painfully slow end. The two biggest indicators are Back to School sales and the fleet of Fall TV premieres. Here's the problem with that second indicator – the Fall premiere dates continue to get pushed back. In the past, Grey's has prepared me for their fashionably late September premieres, but now MOST premieres are in late September. It's like the summer stretch won't quit! Even worse, the CW premieres aren't till October! Are you kidding me? I'll be sewing my Halloween costume by then! And don't EVEN get me started on the cool kids premiering in November and December. I'm sorry, what? And please. There's is no marketing jargon that will provide any reasonable explanation. Those last two months of the year I am checked out – traveling, shopping, decorating, merry-making, savoring that time of the year that goes by faster than a boozy wedding night. At that time of year, the only new content I am willing to accept are movies racing to theaters for last minute Oscar consideration – that is it. Chicago Med, you want me to give you a shot, show me you're worth it. With a November 10th premiere date, you're off to a rocky, half-cocked start.
