No Tomorrow- First Impressions & After Trailer Thoughts

I'm doing something different this year for the Fall TV Pilots 2016. Here I will do an individual series and include my First Impressions along with my After Trailer Thoughts and finally will conclude with the Premiere Review in the fall.

No Tomorrow (The CW)

First Impressions (based on concept):
The concept reads "when a risk-adverse, straight-arrow, female procurement manager at an Amazon-like distribution center falls in love with a free-wheeling man who lives life to the fullest because he believes the apocalypse is imminent, to comedic and poignant results they embark on a quest together to fullfill their individual bucket lists". For me, this series just doesn't sound all that interesting. I would rather watch a series about an Amazon-like distribution center (something like The Office or Superstore). Although this series doesn't sound like it's for me, this would be the right network for it to blossom.
How Excited Am I? 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest): 4

After Trailer Thoughts:
Well the good news is that this series is on the right network for the generation they are hoping to attract. Although it's kind of a hard to believe premise (and personally if someone I just met kept talking about asteroids and apocalypses, I would just walk the other way) and the main girl just keeps reminding me of Ellie Kemper, I'm just not sure there it will attract enough people, especially the male viewers.
How Excited Am I? (1- Lowest to 10- Highest): 4. Sadly, I'm the age demographic that they are aiming for but it doesn't look as interesting as it looks silly.
How Long Will This Series Last? I don't think it will make it the full first season.

Bull- First Impressions & After Trailer Thoughts

I'm doing something different this year for the Fall TV Pilots 2016. Here I will do an individual series and include my First Impressions along with my After Trailer Thoughts and finally will conclude with the Premiere Review in the fall.

Bull (CBS- Drama)

First Impressions (based on concept):
Although this series is "inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw during his days as head of one of the most prolific trial consulting firms of all time" it really is going to be just another lawyer show with the use of a psychologist. I don't think the fact that it's inspired by Dr. Phil's career will gain any more viewer than a regular law series. It's clearly not a series for me as I fell asleep just reading the concept.
How Excited Am I? 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest): 3

After Trailer Thoughts:
I think that Michael Weatherly really sells his role well. In fact, although the series didn't seem as awful or as boring as it did when I read the concept, I'm pretty sure much of the success of the trailer was Michael Weatherly. It will really be interesting to see what happens AFTER the pilot episode though considering that the WHOLE first episode was pretty much given away in the four minute trailer.
How Excited Am I? (1- Lowest - 10 Highest)? The trailer improved my thoughts on the series and I would say I'm a solid 6.
How Long Will The Series Last? Considering the regular series length that most of series in the genre have, it could work out really well and last 6+ years. Most of the series have broken the 10+ year mark.

The Great Indoors- First Impressions & After Trailer Thoughts

I'm doing something different this year for the Fall TV Pilots 2016. Here I will do an individual series and include my First Impressions along with my After Trailer Thoughts and finally will conclude with the Premiere Review in the fall.

The Great Indoors (CBS- Comedy)

First Impressions (based on concept):
For me (being a millennial), I think this could be a fantastic series if it's done right and avoids all those stereotypes people like to give us (like that we are lazy, or that we have a "sense of entitlement"). With Joel McHale leading this series I think it has definite promise. And unlike a lot of new series this days, I LOVE this fitting title being that Joel McHale's character is "an adventure reporter who must adapt to the times when he becomes the boss to a group of millennials". He likes the outdoors and the older generation are convinced that we "never go outside" so if the series is half as brilliant as the title, it's a done deal.
How Excited Am I? (1- Lowest to 10- Highest): 8

After Trailer Thoughts:
Interestingly enough, this series picks on every single stereotype about millennials but even more interestingly, I still found it funny. Joel McHale is perfect in the "older" but not "old" generational starring role and I think he's still young enough that it connects with the younger group. Either way, the trailer was funny and I look forward to watching this series.
How Excited Am I? (1- Lowest to 10-Highest)? Down slightly to 7.
How Long Will This Series Last? It's really going to depend on how many millennials will tune in and stay tuned in despite the stereotypical jokes about our generation. Most of the viewers will probably be Community fans.

Belle Perez- "Hello World"

Chicago Justice- First Impressions & After Trailer Thoughts

I'm doing something different this year for the Fall TV Pilots 2016. Here I will do an individual series and include my First Impressions along with my After Trailer Thoughts and finally will conclude with the Premiere Review in the fall.

Chicago Justice (NBC- Drama)

First Impressions (based on concept):
Yet another series based off the Chicago franchise "which will delve into the world of lawyers and prosecutors in Chicago". Although this series isn't for me, the Chicago franchise does quite well with viewers so I expect this one will do the same.
How Excited Am I? (1- Lowest to 10- Highest): 3

After Trailer Thoughts:
Pretty much just what I had thought. No surprises here.
How Excited Am I? (1-lowest to 10-highest): Still 3, it's just not my type of show.
How Long Will This Series Last? I would say 3 seasons based on other Chicago series shows.
