Here we go:
MONDAYS:
“THE BIG BANG THEORY” (CBS)
- Never have algorithms, mathematical equations, and techie talk been so hilarious. Reminds me of the 80′s movie, Real Genius. (9/21)
“CASTLE” (ABC)
- It’s hard to pass up anything Nathan Fillion is in. Stana Katic, as Detective Kate Beckett, is the cat’s meow. Entering its 2nd season about a murder/mystery writer employed by the NYPD. (9/21)
“HOUSE” (FOX)
- Note to self: Why the (bleep) did you wait so long to watch this show?! A diabolical genius of a doctor, a pompous ass of a man. Still, he can save my life any day. The counter balance between Dr. Gregory House and his hand-picked medical team is a joy to watch. (9/21)
“HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER” (CBS)
- The new Friends of prime time. This was a let down last season and I’m hoping they start revealing the story that is the premise of this show’s title. Too invested to stop watching now. Neil Patrick Harris is the catalyst. (9/21)
TUESDAYS:
“THE HILLS” (MTV)
- “The bitch is back.” That’s the headline showcasing Season 6 of The Hills, one of my all-time guilty pleasures. Show original, Lauren Conrad, now off to greener pastures, left a vacancy in the lead role. Cue Kristin Cavallari (hottt!), her chief rival during their days on Laguna Beach. Divulging more info will further engrave the “L” on my forehead so I’ll simply say, “I’m like totally there” when it drops on September 29th. (9/29)
WEDNESDAYS:
“COUGAR TOWN” (ABC)
- Courtney Cox Arquette plays a single 40-year-old mom with a 17-year-old son who goes on a dating prowl. Reason to watch: from the creator of Scrubs, Bill Lawrence. (9/23)
“GLEE” (FOX)
- A sneak preview of this aired after the season finale of American Idol and what a breath of fresh air it was. Simple beginning showed the reassembling of a high school glee club. Sweet, cheesy, juvenile, witty. All the makings of a good sit-com. (9/9)
“MODERN FAMILY” (ABC)
- A new comedy series filmed as a mockumentary about the lives of three different American famiies. The return of Married With Children‘s Ed O’Neill. (9/23)
THURSDAYS:
“FLASH FORWARD” (ABC)
- For two minutes and seventeen seconds, every human being experiences a blackout, during which they receive a glimpse of their lives six months into the future. Now the race is on to figure out if their premonitions will come true. Written by David S. Goyer of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This might be my new Lost. (9/24)
“GREY’S ANATOMY” (ABC)
- Last season’s finale was a bombshell of an episode. This has to be the sluttiest hospital on television, but they started to refocus on medical stories. My other guilty pleasure. (9/24)
“THE OFFICE” (NBC)
- The funniest show on NBC (and most networks). Nuff said. (9/17)
“SUPERNATURAL” (CW)
- The Hardy Boys of the supernatural realm. Honestly, I never thought this show would last this long. Entering its 5th season, the show has managed to incorporate a very good story while infusing a nice mix of horror and humor. A real sleeper. (9/10)
“THE VAMPIRE DIARIES” (CW)
- My interest in vampires is the only appeal here. I am treading carefully with garlic, silver, and remote control in hand, ready to strike. (9/10)
SUNDAYS:
“DEXTER” (SHO)
- A serial killer who kills serial killers. Genius. This season, Dex goes knife-to-knife against John Lithgow. This should be good. (9/27)
This rounds out what intrigues me this Fall. The Spring season is its own beast which I’ll tackle later. Good stuff to look forward to, especially the final season of Lost. I heart my DVR.
