Blood & Oil debuts on ABC tonight at 9p and I think this is the worst new show of the fall. For some reason people have been comparing it to Dallas and I have no idea why. Dallas was exciting and this show is a real snooze. So much so, I fell asleep watching it, 14 times before I was finally able to finish the pilot. I wish I was exaggerating, but I am not.
Blood & Oil is about a newlywed couple, Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody (Rebecca Rittenhouse) who decide to open a laundromat out of state. On the way there, they get into a car crash and lose everything. They are stuck in a small town that is known for oil.
They try to earn money to pay back all the people who loaned them some to open the laundromat, but they are barely making enough to survive on. Then he gets a tip on a piece of land that might have oil under it, so he weasels his way into it. Then he makes an offer to the Oil Baron (Don Johnson) he can’t refuse. Now Billy is swimming in money.
If this is what Dallas was like when it debuted, it never would’ve lasted a season. So if you need a sleeping pill but don’t want to deal with the side effects, then this is the show for you.

Then at 10p if you somehow managed to stay awake or are smart enough to set the alarm, you should check out Quantico.
The drama follows the story of several people who are in Quantico studying to become FBI Agents. Six months after they started, they are guarding the Democratic National Convention in NYC and the worst terrorist attack happens in Manhattan, a few blocks away from their assignment. Now one of them is suspected of blowing up Grand Central Station and leveling it to the ground.
FBI Agent-in-Training Alex (Priyanka Chopra) wakes up unscathed in the middle of the rubble and the surviving FBI Agents question her to see which of her colleagues might be responsible for the bombing. As they interrogate her, we learn what they have been up to this last six months. Each reveal is a clue to who might be responsible or is it?
We will just have to tune in to find out to show that is full of sex and intrigue.
