new fall shows


So I haven't said anything about the new fall season as of yet. I have a few favorites....actually quite a few. That list includes both old favorites as well as new ones. I won't go into great detail, but here's a quick run down of the shows that you should be watching....if you're not...
Let's start on Monday:

Chuck


Okay, so it started out that the whole reason I watched this show was because I actually saw Zachary Levi, Chuck, in NYC back in May. Aside from the fact that in person he is flawlessly gorgeous, this show is actually very sweet. His character is completely endearing and well, his smile just sucks you in.


Next is- drum roll please....Heroes...



Let me start by prefacing this with .... yes it's seen abysmal ratings so far this season, but that doesn't mean the show is without it's shining moments. Maybe I'm one of a few true...loyal fans, but I still adore this show and have faith that it will pull through the difficult times a stronger more revered program. I guess barring the writers' strike, only time will tell.




How I Met Your Mother



This show is truly a diamond in the rough. The ensemble cast is stellar and Neil Patrick Harris might be the biggest surprise success story actor of our generation. As Barney, the womanizing best friend, he is lovable, huggable, and downright detestable. God bless Barney.

The Big Bang Theory...yes, it's totally cliche...nerd loves hot girl neighbor. Somehow, it totally works. And now, I'm completely hooked.


Life...oh boy....how I love this show!!! Two words: Damian Lewis.



Hotel Babylon (which is on BBC America and if I have not mentioned is hot!!!)

This was a book...a dirty little read turned dirty little tv show. Two thumbs up.

The usual Office...Scrubs...and this year's new favorite....30 Rock...





This may be THE funniest show on all of television. What it lacks on publicity, it makes up for in its jokes. Alec Baldwin, aside from his irritating personal life, has the best comedic timing of anyone currently on a 30 minute primetime comedy. If you haven't sat down to watch this show, then you haven't laughed enough this year. Watch it. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.


Sticking with Thursday nights....add Ugly Betty to the list. I cannot put my finger on what it is about this show, but I love it. I tivo the hell out of it and savor it like a fine wine.....god it is that good.




And finally, Friday Night Lights. This may be one of those few shows that comes along where the critics love it, viewers adore it, and it gets cancelled before you know it. It's flawless, it's fierce, and it just may be the best show you aren't watching. If you want to feel like good things can happen to kids in high school (even though they are still dealing with the craziest crap you've ever heard), then this is the show for you. Not to mention the fact that the cast is hands down the best looking cast currently on any one tv show at the moment. Seriously, study this picture and find one flaw with it. Yeap, not happening, right? That's what I thought.

So there you have it....I watch too much television...don't read enough....and am a happy happy girl because of it. Go my friends....watch these fine shows. Soak it in. Laugh, cry, enjoy.

I want a full report in the morning.
