Well kids, it's that time again. A new fall premiere season is upon us. For those that don't know I'm a serious tv hound/couch potato and this is my favorite time of the year. If I celebrated Christmas, fall premieres would put that sappy holiday to shame!
So, in the spirit of full disclosure here is a list of shows that I'm excited about (and some that I'm really not):
Returning
Heroes- yea, it's confusing and they keep killing off all of the Black people and the Asians are woeful stereotypes but I fucking love Hiro goddammit! ... don't look at me. I'm so ashamed... :-(
House- the white person is the druggie? sign me up!
Lincoln Heights- one word: Chassie. all my tween/teen girls know what I'm talking about... yea. yea... (still ashamed)
Supernatural- technically started last week, but whatever, still excited. Dean-
need I say more? thought not!Cold Case- old mysteries, Tracie Thoms/Anthony LaPaglia... it is what it is.
Castle- Nathan Fillion. that is all.
Smallville- I don't have to explain myself to you!
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia- I love this show. the season premiere was not amazing. I'm excited, but wary...
Law & Order- last season was ridiculous. I never thought I'd say this but Anthony Anderson is a really good actor... gasp!
Medium- fucking
Californication- if you don't know you betta ask somebody.
Dollhouse- I thought most of season 1 was a bit... meh, but it's Joss Whedon so I'm hoping they will have fixed the kinks.
Lie to Me- ridiculous!
Better off Ted- one of those dry humor, man breaks the fourth wall shows that works for me... I don't like the Office... even though I wanted to.
New Kids on the Block
the forgotten- actually I don't know how to feel about this one. how do you replace Rupert Penry Jones with Christian Slater? fucking Americans.
Eastwick- another one I'm ambivalent about but I liked the movie so we'll see.
The Vampire Diaries- the books sound atrocious but I was pleasantly surprised by the pilot so I'm giving it a shot.
Melrose Place- I was actually not a fan of the original but the first two episodes weren't bad. besides there's a black girl. there's only one, but sometimes that's all they give us so I have to make it work...
Flashforward- I actually kept running into the descriptions for this one and said no, hell no, repeatedly. some smart exec, however, made me turn my head with the announcement that John Cho was in it. I still said no, but I was willing to listen. then they made me turn around completely: Gabrielle Union was cast on the show? no, no, you will not break me down, goddamn you! and I was holding out pretty strong all summer until I heard that... John Cho and Gabrielle Union's characters were a couple... fucking abc. I'm watchin', I'm watchin'!
Glee- who knew? I'm hooked.
Community- Joel McHale... nuff said...
Shows I Gave Up On/Not Even Trying
One Tree Hill- no Leyton?! No Nicole...
Gossip Girl*- I just can't keep track and the CW doesn't do enough reruns... maybe on dvd... maybe... and where the fuck are the black people? this show has the Friends-itis...
Cougar Town- no. (on a sidenote: did anyone besides me watch Dirt? now that show was crazy)
The Beautiful Life- i tried. the premise was tired as hell.
CSI:NY- i don't know what happened. i used to really love this show. maybe it's just too sleek for me? *shrugs shoulders*
Parks and Recreation- horrible. absolutely horrible. and it really shouldn't be! amy poehler. rashida jones. wtf happened!?
CSI- actually, I gave up on it not 'cause it wasn't good it's just that thursday is a busy (tv) night for me... it's up against some pretty tough contenders... oh larry fishburne... I tried! I tried!
Fringe*- this show was amazing but then fox kept fucking with it's schedule and I lost interest
Ghost Whisperer- Andrea.
Southland*- again I tried. I was not impressed.
Sanctuary- who knew a webseries could be better than the shit they put on tv? I am humbled... and not tuning in.
NCIS- one day I looked up and realized that I couldn't figure out if I'd already seen this episode because EVERY FUCKING NCIS EPISODE IS THE SAME unless it's a season finale... over it!
Never Tried But Maybe on Netflix...?
The Mentalist- my mom likes it. but in my mind simon should be with sanaa on my tv screen... I might have gotten a bit attached to something new...
Sons of Anarchy- I've heard good things but... maybe on netflix.
CSI: Miami- maybe there's just been too much soup criticism of the show (oh horatio) but they had megalyn echikunwoke on it last season so all of a sudden I have a new determination to see what's going down... i'm nothing if not predictable.
Dexter*- technically I saw the first season, but something about the second season never clicked with me... I'll put it on my queue though... why not?
So, these are my obsessions... what are you watching this season?
*- indicates a show that I'm willing to consider for the netflix queue.
