Name China
What TV have you watched this week? 15 episodes of a 2010 Korean drama called Secret Garden (with body swaps!), a few episodes of other Kdramas, and 3 episodes of Parks & Rec season 3. But The Expanse season 2 has arrived on DVD, so I imagine we'll get stuck into that soon.
What fall show are you looking forward to? Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I don't really follow the US TV seasons, so there might be others too.
If you were creating your own show, what genre would it be and who would play the lead role(s)? A small town PI constantly treading on the toes of/getting in the way of his frenemy cop's cases, starring Aldis Hodge and some other dude, and with an awesome diverse supporting cast a la Battle Creek.

Ah yes, B99, definitely looking forward to that. In fact, there seems to be an episode now on the DVR so I guess it's an early return.

I haven't opened the file yet so it could just be a preview. Networks have taken to issuing 5 or 10 minute previews of shows that I guess go out to DVRs only (can't imagine when they'd air). It's really annoying.

Project Runway is one of the worst -- not only do they have previews but they are repackaging episodes and even past shows into compilations and there's no way to weed those out and get only new episodes it seems.
