It's coming! I will be on the beach in Hawaii and unlikely to watch very much of it, but it's still coming. After a summer off, all of my favorite shows are coming back to television and I cannot wait. Here's a list of what I am looking forward to for each night of the week.
Monday
How I Met Your Mother - I think that we can get 1-2 more quality seasons before Ted finally wraps up this story for his children. This show is smart, funny, and has fantastic characters (and brilliant actors). I am looking forward to more stand alone episodes along with some movement toward finding the mom. And of course, Lily & Marshall will start trying to have a family, so hopefully soon there's going to be a baby!
Tuesday
NCIS & Glee - Yeah, that's right, I watch NCIS and I watch Glee. And the TV gods have conspired against me, putting these two fabulous shows on opposite each. Thankfully there is the internet, so one can be watched the following night online. NCIS ended on a huge cliffhanger with Gibbs' father in danger, so that may get my attention initially. Glee, while fabulous, can wait a night since its season wrapped up without a cliffhanger. I am eagerly anticipating new songs and new Sue-isms.
Wednesday
Modern Family - Becuase of Glee, I was not a dilligent Modern Family watcher, but now that the conflict is gone, I will be tuning into the Emmy winner. I have caught most of the first season in reruns and could not agree more that this brilliant show is one of the smartest and funniest on TV. Again, it's all about great characters and this show has a full cast of them.
Castle - He really is ruggedly handsome. My roommate often notes that she wishes Castle could be on every night, and, well, I pretty much agree. More though, I wish Castle was on at 9, so that I was more likely to stay up and watch it. I need my sleep and 10pm shows are a little late. However, I do like the move to Wednesday, when I may be a little more likely to stay up, and if not then we can always watch it online. Have I mentioned lately how much I love the internet?
Thursday
The Big Bang Theory & Bones - Why must the TV gods continue to do this? My favorite show on television, The Big Bang Theory (or Sheldon, as it is it known in our house) has moved to Thursdays, opposite Bones, our normal Thursday night show. I am going to want to know about Sheldon's new lady friend AND what happens when Bones & Booth are reunited at the same time, but one will have to wait.
So those are the 7 shows that I am elated about. I like knowning that despite all the crap that can be found on TV these days, there are still a number of shows that are well written, well acted, and have characters that I want to spend my evenings with almost every night. I also love that I can watch most of them online after the fact, so I can have a life and not miss out.
There are some new shows that I'll likely be checking out, but more on that if I decide they are worth writing about.
Enjoy premiere week!
