Fire up your DVRs kids, it’s TV watching time. Fall shows start returning tonight and my little TV-loving heart couldn’t be more pleased. Per usual, there will be a major log jam on Thursday nights. When you have to resort to four different recording/viewing methods in a two-hour span, you have to think the TV gods are just fucking with you. There are other nights of the week, people. Spread the love. Speaking of love, the only thing more fun than watching TV is comparing notes with other TV watchers. So, let’s see it. I’ll show you my fall schedule if you show me yours.Vampire Diaries, tonight, CW
I might be the only person here who let out a little squeal when Nina Dobrev jumped out like a cat to join the big Emmy opening number. She is lovely as nice human girl Elena, but bring on the year of the Kat. I’m a sucker for badass vampire chicks. Sucker, see what I did there?
Nikita, tonight, CW
My, Maggie Q, what stretchy stretchy pants you have. Suddenly, Q is my favorite letter in the alphabet.
House, Sept. 20, Fox
I stopped watching last season. And Olivia Wilde isn’t even going to be around for much of the beginning of this year. But I still included it because it totally looks like Thirteen is copping a feel of Cuddy’s ass.
Chuck, Sept. 20, NBC
How come I never get seated next to someone who looks like Yvonne StraHOTski?
Glee, Sept. 21, Fox
Jane Freaking Lynch. Enough said. OK, fine, also Brittana.
Now, really, enough said.
Criminal Minds, Sept. 22, CBS
I can’t believe they’re getting rid of A.J. Cook. But her love of Paget Brewster will live on forever in femslash.
Modern Family, Sept. 22, ABC
I don’t know if Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen ever got over their feud, but I also don’t care as long as they keep bringing the LOLs. And the Hot.
30 Rock, Sept. 23, NBC
Oh, Tina. Hold me.
CSI, Sept. 23, CBS
That little lesbian Justin Bieber is in the season premiere. But Starbuck is joining the team starting in November sweeps. Katee Sackhoff and Jorja Fox fan fiction, please. And if you’re feeling really naughty, Marg Helgenberger can come and play, too.
Bones, Sept. 23, Fox
I hate Emily Deschanel’s new bangs. There, I said it.
Fringe, Sept 23, Fox
Like House, I stopped watching Fringe last season. But Alternate Universe Olivia Dunham is pinging the hell out of my gaydar.
I mean, that belt.
Body of Proof, Sept. 24, ABC
My hopes aren’t super high for this show, but Dana Delany and Jeri Ryan are at least worth a look. Or two.

My hopes aren’t super high for this show, but Dana Delany and Jeri Ryan are at least worth a look. Or two.Yes, I realize Grey’s Anatomy is missing from this list. (*whispers*) I don’t watch. But I am happy to YouTube the Calzona bits later. And yes, Parks & Recreation is missing, too. But that’s because it doesn’t premiere until midseason. (*single tear*) OK, so, let’s see it. How will you be abusing your DVR – or VCR, if you like to kick it old school – this fall season?
And what's your excuse for not including SVU? ;) Also, ist that Anna Torv's new hairstyle? Looks weird somehow...
ReplyDeleteyou didn't watch last season's fringe? alternate olivia has such SWAGGER.
ReplyDeleteand Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen feud? i hope this starts with mud fight and ends in bed.
Glee! Gossip Girl and Dexter and i always look forward to Bones, the're aren't alot of new tv shows i watch. mostly i watch buffy and gilmore girls reruns :)
ReplyDeleteIts going to be A September to Remember..mostly excited about Grey's Anatomy.
ReplyDeleteAs for Modern Family..The Vanity Fair Style Promo is freakingly hilarious!

Frakkin' a, Starbuck! Looks like I'll be watching CSI again ;) I stopped after Sara/Grissom happened, Sofia went away, and things got BORING.
ReplyDeleteFringe's 2nd season actually rocked! Except for the sad lack of screen time for the fantastic Astrid, played by out actress Jasika Nicole.
Also, I think I own that belt.
I gave up watching shows on tv a while ago, waiting instead to watch most things online or via dvd. BUT I am so caught up on and ready for Chuck and Glee, and I'm almost caught up on Bones. I, too, only watch the Calzona Grey's Anatomy bits on Youtube. And I sort of wish I was caught up on Fringe, but then that's too many tv shows for me to try and be home for...
ReplyDeleteSo, am I watching too much tv? Yes!
ReplyDeleteNikita, because have you seen Maggie Q? Wow.
Survivor: Nicaragua because I can't help myself.
Dancing With the Stars, even though the cast is pissing me off (Bristol Palin is a star? I don't think so). Plus, have you seen those dancers' bodies? Wowie.
Chuck - duh! More people need to watch the complete awesomeness that is Chuck.
Castle, snarky humour and UST are good.
Glee. Squeeeee!
Undercovers, again, have you seen how hot these two are? Wow.
Modern Family. So damn funny.
The Amazing Race. World travels and Phil's eyebrow. Which sounds insane if you've never seen it. I also love when he walks and points. Hmmm, this makes me sound insane!
Throw Project Runway in there too... Tim Gunn!
Oh, and 30 Rock.
And now it looks like I'll have to add CSI to the list. Katee Sackhoff! I want to see if she can be hotter than Starbuck and Sarah Corvus. It's difficult, but maybe she can do it.
Off topic, but only sort of because knowing you, anything Tina Fey related is relevant - just found out she's a National Spokesperson for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society which gives her tons of extra cool points in my book.
ReplyDelete@Shasta, that's nothing. My current line-up if full to bursting. I've got the last few summer episodes of:
ReplyDelete* Mad Men
* Rubicon
* True Blood
* My Boys
* Warehouse 13 (I love Claudia!)
* White Collar (Yay for cannon lesbians!)
* Covert Affairs
* Eureka
* Haven
* Flashpoint
* Top Chef
As for the fall line-up, there's my current roster of:
* Chuck
* House
* How I Met Your Mother
* Castle
* Glee
* NCIS
* NCIS: LA
* Criminal Minds (::sniff:: We'll miss you, JJ.)
* Bones
* Fringe
* Big Bang Theory (Nerds FTW!)
* Smallville (I know, I know, but it's the last season and I want to see it out.)
* Stargate Universe
* Sanctuary
* Dexter
And the potential additions:
* Boardwalk Empire
* The Event
* Hawaii Five-O
* Undercovers (Mmm, spies.)
* Hellcats (Yes, it's basically Bring It On as a series. I don't care. There's dancing and sarcasm.)
* Nikita (I've been watching some of the old episodes online. For, um... comparison?)
* Top Chef: Just Desserts (A cooking competition entirely about baking? Is there a home edition yet?)
My poor little DVR is going to get quite a workout, and even then it will be heavily supplemented by Hulu.
Hahaha! You totally cropped Casey out of that photo with Agent Sarah Walker! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about fall TV. SO EXCITED.
May I add: How I met Your Mother with the gorgeous Cobie Smulders, make that Smolders!!
ReplyDeleteLaw and Order SVU, too bad Alex Cabot won't return, but butchy Benson will do!!
and ofcourse:
Glee
Bones
Modern Family
House MD
My Mutorrent will be in overdrive!!
How dare you stop watching Fringe! Now that my baby Lost is gone, it's the only show that keeps me thinking. And House is worth it, believe it or not. Yeah, the material is getting pretty stale, but how could you NOT want to look at Olivia Wilde, even for just a few minutes?
ReplyDeleteBesides those two... 90210 (don't judge, Jessica Stroup is sooo hot), CSI, Glee and Survivor all make my list this season. I'll be giving newcomers Nikita, The Event and Hawaii 5-0 a chance. And gotta finish Covert Affairs, Rookie Blue, and The Gates from this summer! :)
I kind of can't wait to see Body of Proof. The film crew invaded my college soccer field for the second episode. Rhode Island usually isn't a primo spot to film movies or TV shows, so when it does happen here, everyone gets pretty hyped about it.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I didn't see Dana that day :(
Robin, you watch almost as much TV as my girlfriend and I do ~ and some of the same shows ~ hooray, someone else loves My Boys! (But I fear it won't be back, since the season finale is titled "My Men"; sounds like a wrap-up). I became an NCIS fanatic last year, when we spent the entire summer catching up with the whole series (out of order, which was a trip) on USA Network. I developed a huge crush on Sasha Alexander. Now, I can love her on Rizzoli & Isles, and still enjoy Cote de Pablo on NCIS!
ReplyDeleteI'm am RIGHT there with you on the YouTube of Calzona--can't stand to sit through the show and BetweenThaLines does such good editing of their scenes I can sit and rewatch for hours...Other than that, Glee & 30 Rock are must-see.
ReplyDeleteDexter
ReplyDeleteL&O:SVU
Sanctuary
House
Venture Brothers
Eureka
Haven
Glee
Does anyone know if there is a site for Skins where I could watch episodes? Does AfterEllen have those episodes?
How can you forget the new show with Jennifer Beals's Ride Alone?
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Marg Helgenberger. Still, won't watch that show. Also, while I have this sinking feeling Body of Proof is going to SUCK, well... it's Dana Delany. As much as you love Tina, I love Dana. And I will stick around a terrible show for a LONG time for a pretty girl. I mean, I even watch Private Practice for a whole season (oh , Kate Walsh, I do love you).
ReplyDeleteI was with you for the better part of the first half of the list. I tend to shy away from procedurals and vampires, action, etc.
Thank God for all the beautiful pussy in this world thank you God for all these wonderful women!!!
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxoxo
@Kate, I love My Boys so much. If I were into sports instead of sci-fi, I would want to be PJ when I grow up. It does seem like this is the last season, though, since Jordana Spiro and Kyle Howard both did pilots for NBC and Reid Scott's in a full-on series with Oliver Platt for USA. :(
ReplyDeleteAaand my plate just got a little fuller, because Syfy changed their minds and decided to bring back Caprica in October instead of delaying it until January as previously announced. (A 9-month break in the middle of a first-season show, even a spin-off of one of their most popular properties, would have been colossally detrimental.)
I'm not much of a TV watcher, but my daughter and I laughed through Glee on DVD this summer...so I can't wait for it to start again!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch regular TV, too busy with my Netflix queue... but I'm thinking Fringe might be worth a look-see, 'cause, well, YEAH.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to new TV. Here's my line up.
ReplyDeleteChuck (Linda Hamilton!)
Glee
Grey's Anatomy
V (when/if it starts back up)
And the new show No Ordinary Family because it looks cute.
