[9] One Checklist That You Should Keep In Mind Before Attending Corgi Puppies For Sale At Deadwood Corgi Puppies For Sale At Deadwood

The year 2009 was when everyone decided you’re allowed to say “douche” on television. The 2011–2012 season was the era of “Girl” shows (New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, a Lena Dunham sitcom you may have heard of). In 2014, TV declared what you really needed was a good romantic comedy; by 2015, it had canceled every one of those shows and chosen instead to win you over with full-frontal male nudity.

So, what is the bare man butt of the 2016 fall season? There are plenty of contenders: the network slate is brimming with ambitious, high-concept comedies about muddling through the afterlife (NBC’s The Good Place), preparing for the end of the world (the CW’s No Tomorrow), and an 80s-style Sunday-morning cartoon character reconnecting with his estranged family (Fox’s Son of Zorn). Literally every network has a time-travel-based series premiering this fall or at midseason (NBC’s Timeless, the CW’s Frequency, ABC’s Time After Time, Fox’s Making History). Of course, there’s also the usual glut of remakes, reboots, and shows otherwise based on pre-existing properties—from HBO’s Westworld to Fox’s Lethal Weapon to CBS’s MacGyver.

And then there are these slightly more interesting mini-trends, ones that shed light on this idiosyncratic, peak-Peak-TV moment—one that’s more concerned than ever with promoting diversity in its many forms; one that’s broadening the definition of what it even means to be a television show; one that’s still old-fashioned enough to plunk Kevin James in front of a laugh track, shout out “action,” and call it a day. Let’s take a closer look. —Hillary Busis

Stranger Things.

With its latest buzzy hit, Stranger Things, barely in the rearview, Netflix remains, by far, the dominant player out of the original-content-producing streaming services. But! It’s not the only one, as Amazon, Hulu, and Crackle—yes, Crackle—are hoping to remind us this fall. Of course, Amazon and Hulu have been players in streaming TV for a few years now—it’s just that none of their original content, besides Amazon’s Transparent, has really broken through to the cultural mainstream. Perhaps their new fall shows will.

Amazon has Goliath, a series starring Billy Bob Thornton and created by 1990s super-producer David E. Kelley. It’s about a lawyer, because it’s a David E. Kelley show, but it seems to have a darker twist to it—darker than, say, Ally McBeal. Thornton is joined by heavy-hitting supporting players (and A History of Violence co-stars) William Hurt and Maria Bello, so this show means business.

So does Hulu’s big fall power play, Chance, starring Hugh Laurie. The show is called Chance and his character’s last name is Chance, just like House on House, because this is what Hugh Laurie does when he’s on TV. Chance is a forensic neuropsychiatrist who investigates stuff and, I dunno, gets sucked into some kind of intrigue. He’s joined by a company of strong actors, including The Wire’s Clarke Peters and Gretchen Mol, prestige drama’s secret weapon (as evidenced by her show-stealing turn on Boardwalk Empire, anyway). The show’s pedigree is strong, as it’s co-created by a Deadwood writer and all, so maybe Chance will catch the wave that Hulu’s starry, high-profile, dull The Path didn’t earlier this year.

And then there’s Crackle, which swung and mostly missed with the Dennis Quaid-starring art-world thriller The Art of More last year (it has been renewed for a second season, at least). It’s trying again with the stylish-looking StartUp, about a curious intersection between tech and drug crime. The series stars newcomer Otmara Marrero as a computer whiz who invents an online currency similar to Bitcoin. She’s joined by the millennial generation’s imaginary boyfriend, Adam Brody, and Billy Bob Thornton’s Fargo co-star Martin Freeman. StartUp looks the most promising of the three series, though whether it, or any of them, can find an audience remains a big question mark. As fears that we’ve reached “peak TV” mount, streaming services are going to have to struggle all the harder for viewers’ attention. These shows are, at least, shiny objects. —Richard Lawson

Pure Genius.

Get ready to see a lot of this six-year-old beauty queen’s hauntingly familiar face, starting in September. (What hath you wrought, The People v. O.J. Simpson?) On September 5, A&E kicked things off with The Killing of JonBenét: The Truth Uncovered; this Friday, NBC News will debut a two-hour Dateline dedicated to the pageant star whose perplexing kidnapping and murder gripped the nation back in 1996.

From there, the specials will just keep coming. On September 12, Investigation Discovery offers JonBenét: An American Murder Story, a three-night special featuring exclusive footage and interviews. Monday will also mark the first leg of a three-part Dr. Phil interview with JonBenét’s brother, who was nine years old at the time of her murder. On September 18, CBS will debut The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey, which brings together investigators old and new to try and solve the case—with the help of life-size replicas of key rooms within the Ramsey house. And then there’s Lifetime, which has Who Killed JonBenét? in the works for November.
