I have never been shy in admitting to my addiction to television. I love it, and it’s wonderful and I am not ashamed. That is why I am so super excited that the new fall season is finally upon us! That means new shows, along with new episodes of old favorites! But that also means that I have to pick and choose how to make the most of my TV schedule. It’s a tricky task each year, but it has to be done.
One of the biggest challenges is deciding which new shows I want to start to watch. It’s tough because I hate when I miss out on a great show, and it happens alot. Can you believe that I have never got into Glee? Mainly because of scheduling conflicts, but I think this year it will fit in. The Captain laughed at me when he saw my paper out with my show choices written down. He couldn’t believe I would do it, until I looked him in the eye and asked him “really?”…to that he replied that unfortunately he could believe it.
So here my dear readers is what I have chosen. I hope that I have chosen wisely, and I don’t miss out on the new biggest hit of the season. Because when that happens, I am just too far behind to catch up!
Fall Television Schedule
Monday:
8:00:
House and How I met your mother: “Hous”e is an old favorite, and The Captain and I have been catching up on “How I met your Mother” all summer, so we are excited to watch the new season!
9:00:
Gossip Girl and Lone Star: “Gossip Girl” is a must since I am pretty much a teeny bopper, and I decided to choose “Lone Star” over “The Event” because Entertainment Weekly recommended it. I am not sure if that was the right choice, but only time will tell.
10:00
Hawaii 5-0: I’m not sure what I think of it, but I will definitely give it a try.
Tuesday:
8:00
Biggest Loser and Glee: The Captain LOVES “The Biggest Loser” so this is a must since most shows on our DVR aren’t his. It’s a 2 hour show so it takes up a lot of time, but it’s worth it. I have also been able to add “Glee” to the mix here. I am not sure what show is gone from last year so I can watch it, but I’m glad I can.
10:00
Parenthood: This one I came to love last season. It took some time getting into, but I am loving all the characters.
Wednesday:
8:00
America’s Next Top Model: I am amazed each week how these sometimes awkward looking girls can get such great pictures!
9:00
Modern Family and SVU:” Modern Family” makes me laugh EVERY time! I’m so glad that they’ve brought back so many great sitcoms! “SVU” is always a good go to. I don’t have to watch every single episode and I can still enjoy it.
9:30
Cougar Town: My favorite part of this show is their love of wine! I loved the episode where they filled their wine glasses all the way to the top and wondered why each bottle only gave them 2 glasses! It reminds me of my wine pours! I hope this show gets more of a following because it’s really great.
10:00
The Whole Truth: I’m giving this one a shot. Looks good to me!
Thursday: My favorite night of the week! (TV wise)
8:00
My Generation and Vampire Diaries: The previews of “My Generation” are great. I think it has a lot of potential, but what do I know? Lots of shows I love get taken off. Can you say “what about Brian?” Vampire Diaries is just so good! Yes it’s the Teeny Bopper in me again, but really…it’s good!
9:00
Grey’s Anatomy and The Office: I am a little bummed here because NBC messed with their schedule and moved 30 Rock’s time slot! It used to fall here, but now it’s in the 8:30 time slot which stinks because I already have 2 one hour shows! I am hoping they move it around. But I still love Grey’s and The Office!
10:00
Private Practice: Self Explanatory
Sunday:
9:00
Desperate Housewives: Yes I am still watching it..
10:00
Brothers and Sisters: I am still giving this one a shot too..I love the show but here so many people have left! I guess we’ll see!!
So there you have it folks! My fall schedule! What will you be watching this season? What are you most excited about? Do you think I’m making any big mistakes?
Your list looks alot like mine… I’ll post my list on Twitter. ?
I watch a lot of the same shows. It is an exciting week for TV. Can’t wait to laugh my butt of with Modern Family tonight! I also have Hell’s Kitchen as well. Big night!
I loooooove Cougar Town!! And Jorge and I just discovered Modern Family… it’s our new favorite. They show both here in Mexico ? (a few months after, but hey, it’s something!)
I watch ALL the Next Top Model shows online (Britain, Australia, America and New Zealand) obsessed much?
You’ll love Glee. Not the best plotline, IMO, but the characters are hilarious and the songs are great.
Can’t stand Private Practice, sorry! All the characters are just hateful people ?
that’s funny to think that you have to wait for a bit to see the shows! Modern Family is hysterical! I’ve only seen the american next top model..but I’m sure all are entertaining..
It’s ok, I don’t judge you for not watching private practice lol ? They all can be bad people! lol
You have some good choices, but may I recommend (when your schedule allows, of course LOL):
Wednesday
8:00 Undercovers (Boris Kodjoe – enough said)
Thursday
8:00 Big Bang Theory (funny nerds)
8:30 $#*! My Dad Says (show based on a funny blog/book)
9:00 The Office (because it’s ridiculously funny!)
9:30 Outsourced (new to my list)
Sunday
Undercover Boss (really interesting!)
I heard of undercovers…is that the new JJ Abrams show? (could be wrong)
I hear the big bang theory is hysterical but my Thursdays are just jammed packed! I know I am probably missing out.
I love William Shatner, but I haven’t even seen a preview of this show!
We have a love for a lot of the same shows! I’m so excited for premier week!
I watched The Event because it’s sort of taking the place of FlashForward that got cancelled last year. It’s weird and I think I’m going to love it. That and Lone Star didn’t appeal. Which is odd, because I’m from Texas. I guess it’s the con thing.
Thanks for the idea of My Generation! I hadn’t heard of it, so I’ve added it to my DVR.
Do you not watch Modern Family? Best show on tv right now, IMHO. ?
I certainly do watch modern family! it’ son the list ? I was so bummed when flash forward ended! Like I said they always take off my shows ?
I am just dying for it to be tomorrow night so I can have Grey’s & Private Practice back. Not to mention wanting Sunday to come for Brother’s and Sister’s. I mostly love it for Sally Fields.
My husband just commented last night on how stupid he thinks Parenthood is… but he hates for the reason I love it… so many characters and so much going on!
I watched The Event and did not like it. But I have a hard time keeping up with those kind of shows. I never did get into Flash Forward even thought my hubby watched it.
I had not heard of Lonestar. So I am going to go look that up in a sec. ~ Sitting here anxiously awaiting SVU! Yay for fall TV!! ?
