Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge: Day 6!

I'm obviously starting Neely and Amber's challenge a leetle late (day 6), but who says you have to go in order or hit each day's topics? :) Workdays sometimes get away from me, so I'm going to try to preschedule a post or two... :)  

Today's Topic: Fall TV shows!! What is new, returning, you wish would get canceled :) 


What's new: 


1. Person of Interest. Okay, so if you've been reading awhile, you know I was a Lost fanatic. Soooo when there's a show with one of my favorite Lost actors, Michael Emerson, I'm going to give it a shot. Person of Interest started last week and I was NOT disappointed. First things first, Ben Michael Emerson plays a great character that's just the right amount of shady for us Lost fans to latch on and believe in. I dig that. Second, when did Jim Caviezel become so nice to look at? Dig that, too. And the plot? Has lots of promise. I really loved the first episode and am looking forward to this week's show. If you like conspiracy theory/action type stuff, you will dig this show. 

2. Up All Night. I actually watched this only after I'd read lots of positive hype on twitter, entertainment blogs, etc. I can't say I disagree with the critics! This show is funny stuff, friends! Great cast, too! 

3. Once Upon a Time. This show is actually from a couple of the writers of Lost. (I was really obsessed. It is what it is). It starts in October and I'm excited. Admittedly, I'm not so sure on the plot. Parallel worlds-one with fantasy prince charmings and jazz and the other with normal folks-sounds odd. But, I also thought the plot to Lost sounded kinda dumb and it turned out to be my fav show ever. Sooooo there's that.

4. New Girl. Watched it last week. Gonna give it another shot. It was so-so. Cute enough, but could easily see it moving to the bottom of my "must watch" shows on the dvr...

5. Charlie's Angels. Cared enough to record it. But haven't cared enough to watch it yet. I adore Minka, so I'll watch the pilot at some point soon. Have you watched it. Thoughts?

Returning!

1. GOSSIP GIRL! TONIGHT! Two words: Hell.yes. I cannot wait to see what mischief Blair and Serena get into this year. Inevitably, I'll become annoyed with Serena mid season per usual when she picks some boy over school/work/anything else. And I'll also sit on the edge of my seat when Chuck and Blair have many moments where they ALMOST reconnect.. I can't wait! And we have fun little watch parties so that's another bonus! :) GG must be watched with snacks, wine, and girlfriends!

 2. Nikita. Back in the day, I was obsessed with Alias. I like spy shows with female protagonists. :) Eric was late to pick me up some Friday night last year and I ended up watching a little bit of Nikita's pilot while I waited. The dvr has been set ever since. I hope this second season is as good as the first one was!

 3. Community. I love me some Joel. I've had lots of people say Joel= my boyfriend, Eric, especially on The Soup. ha! I could see that. Community is awesome. Watch it and love it, friends. :)

 4. Private Practice. This show has easily surpassed Grey's in my book. The characters are better, the plot is better. Just better better better. Please ignore that I found an old photo of the cast. Just realized it. Oops.

5. Desperate Housewives. If this wasn't its last season, I'd put it in the cancel category. I've loved the show, but it's run its course. Definitely excited to see how they wrap it all up though! :)

As for what would get canceled, I dunno... I wax and wane about some shows. Some shows just have a bad season. That said, I am not impressed with Grey's at all anymore. They need to change something to reel people back in... or just wrap it up. *shrugs*

So yeah, that's what's happening on my DVR this season! :) What about you, friends?
