Fall TV 2007
 

That's right, it's the thread to discuss all the new & returning shows you're excited about this coming season! :thumbsup: That being said, I'm not thrilled this year for some reason. :laugh: I know, shocking, the TV whore doesn't care. But I don't all that much.

I meant to watch Gossip Girl last night, but Mark was watching History channel & I didn't feel like leaving the room to watch another TV. Same with Kid Nation.

Pushing Daisies is getting rave reviews. I may give that one a try. Same with the family saga starring Jimmy Smits (is it called Cane or did I make that up?)

Returning shows I'll watch again are Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural, Heroes...what the hell else do I watch? :p I can't even remember. The comedies, I still like Christine (which I hear will be a midseason replacement :( ) and Scrubs. 30 Rock is alwasy good, so is Earl & The Office. OH! Almost forgot Grey's - I'll probably check out Private Practice too, but I don't have my hopes up. Oh, and Brothers & Sisters is a great show.

I'm watching the Biggest Loser too. Waiting for Project Runway. Anyone know if there will be a new Amazing Race? I usually don't watch Survivor, but I may have to check it out - it's in China this year. Might be interesting.

I have to get busy downloading cause I never want to wait for shows to air over here. I made my list the other night!

ANTM
Medium (not back til Jan now though :()
Ghost Whisperer
Ugly Betty
Desperate Housewives
ER
Supernatural
L word (not back til Jan though)
Nip/Tuck

oh and of couse Lost... but that's not back til the new year either...

The Amazing Race is not coming back to television until next year. :cool:


Shows I'll be watching:

Grey's Anatomy
ANTM
Gossip Girl (wow....a wonderful series premier!!!!!!!!!)
Project Runway
Pushing Daises
Survivor
...there's another show on the CW that I want to watch but forget the name

Grey's Anatomy
CSI Las Vegas
Friday Night Lights
Dexter
The Office
Desperate Housewives

Yeah, that's about it. I'm not even going to bother with Private Practice, the double episode feature on Grey's bored me to tears. I might check out Weeds also, my sister says it's right up my dirty little alley.

i'm intrigued by kid nation but i was too lazy to turn on my tv last night. other shows ... 30 rock, office, scrubs, and whatever that new show about the nerd herd is. let's see ... oh, heroes, law and order: svu (i feel like i'm the only person here that watches that :D ), and the l word of course, although as pip said, that's not starting till january, goddammit >:(

i can't wait for the new bionic woman, i will also be watching:
my name is earl
CSI the original one in vegas
ugly betty
desperate housewives
survivor, i have never really watched it, but ashley from WWE is on it, she was gorgeous & looked fab in playboy:eek::thumbsup:
i know there's more, but this is all i can think of~
i started watching nashville last week, it was ok, i will prolly continue~

I cant wait for The Office to come back
plus the Monday night CBS schedual.

I dont Think Ill like the Big Bang Theory though, and Rules of Engagment was NOTHING compared to The Class.

Id Rather Christine/The Class than BBT and RoE...

But CANT WAIT for How I Met Your Mother and 2 and A Half Men. :D

Let's see...

Medium (once the NFL season is over)
Ghost Whisperer
My Name Is Earl
The Office (well, since 30 Rock is sandwiched in between those two, I'll be watching that, too. Scrubs has "jumped the shark" for me. I guess I've watched too many syndicated reruns that I'm burnt out on the show...even if they're new episodes...we dropped ER off our watch list about three seasons ago. Just lost interest; the plot was going nowhere)
Numbers
Bones
House
Nip/Tuck
CSI (the orig)
Las Vegas (a former neighbor of mine is an extra on the show since its inception...in last season's finale, he finally got a line. He's gotten lines in four of the first six episodes of this coming season...maybe if the show lasts a few more seasons, he might even finally get to "character" status.)
Dancing With The Stars

And, I always enjoy a new season of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Also, we never tire of South Park or Reno 911

If we HAD Showtime (which we don't), we'd be watching Dexter, since we just happened to catch the entire first season last year when we were in Denver awaiting the birth of our grandson. (the hotel where we stayed for those three weeks had Showtime. And, in that time, they showed reruns of the entire first season building up to the finale just before Christmas). We also got hooked on Sleeper Cell during that trip, too...but apparently, two seasons is all it lasted.

My DVR has been lonely this summer and just waiting to record all the shows I don't have time to watch. So, come say December I will usually have about 5 episodes of each of my favorites to try to catch up on. I haven't paid much attention to the new stuff but always try to catch:

ER
The Office
Grey's Anatomy
Desperate Housewives
Law and Order ( I can watch any of them)
CSI (except New York if it's even still on)
Brothers and Sisters (Sally Field deserved the Emmy for this!)
The L Word (it's really a good show. Please bring back Marina!)

plus all the trash I love on Bravo and TLC

oh no. you did not just say that. can't stand her!

You watch L&O. You don't get to have an opinion. :mad:

corRECtion. i watch l&o:svu. eat it, belchin'.

svu has mariska. i can has mariska nau.

I watch it too. :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to new episodes of Supernatural which is a favorite of mine. I'm also watching Curb Your Enthusiasum, ANTM, Desperate Housewives, and probably a few news shows.

yay!

oh **** i love curb your enthusiasm. i never watch it when the episodes first air, i should try to keep up this season :D

Not too much to add, I couldn't possibly watch that many shows.

But - I happened to watch Gossip Girl, and it was pretty lame, yet somewhat compelling. The thing is, the main girl is supposed to be all rad and awesome and have intangible star like qualities - everyone is talking about her like she is the second coming - but the actress isn't really that special. In fact, her face has an Ellen Barkin vibe, which would be cool if she was Ellen Barkin, who is hot and rad, but this girl isn't. She just doesn't have quite that much charisma.
To her credit, her face isn't as twisty and weird as Barkin's, so it kind of evens out. Also? This "highschool" girl has deeper lines around her mouth then I do. Also, she was sipping martinis at some hotel. Sure, it's possible - but my point is that she looks way older than she is supposed to be. The rest of the cast fares better, looking young wise, but the story lines and action seem more as if this were a group of 26 year olds, overall.
Except, inexplicably, for the parents of these people, who are super hot, and time defyingly young to have kids this age. This one kid, he was supposed to be 17, and his dad was super hot, and looked about 32. The dad looked so young, and was so cute, and had such good jewelry and feathery/floppy preppysurfermusician hair, that I was actually confused about the plotline for a few minutes. Then I laughed. Of course the dad was a musician/surfer/poor guy. Thus, the drama - there's this one poor family (allegedly) in New York, and the kids go to a rich school, cause they are so smart and on scholarship, and the rich cool girl (Ellen Barkinfacsimile) is going to date the poor son, who is so nice, compared to her rich boyfriends (der) and the rich girl's mom already dated the hot surfer poor dad a long time ago, back in the day, when they were hippies and free, until she bagged a rich husband, and now she wants him to "stay away from me, I have a new life, even though we are both totally hot" because she is rich now and doesn't want any super hot previous lover guy who seems to be a California surfer to ruin her New York society shizz. Even though she was poor with him before. and so it goes.

Like "Tell your son to stay away from my almost hot, Barkinesque daughter!!! I don't want her dating a poor guy who is really nice! I want her to date rich asshole guy!!"

Same old stupid shizz.

Still and all, it is lame. You might want to watch, but in a night time soap kind of way, where everyone is attractive, wears great clothes, never has to work, and is really glamorous. Except when they are non charismatic and Barkinesque. The girl's old best friend who is bitchy is pretty good. I'm biased cause she looks a bit like me. But innyways, supposedly the golden girl's old best friend has been dating one (gay) guy since kindergarten, but this guy actually has fallen in love with Barkinfacsimile, but is trying to deny it, cause his parents asked him to, and his girlfriend had a hissy about it.
So there is this tension b/c between the best friends, the boyfriend likes the other best friend that he shouldn't like. I feel I have to add that said coveted boyfriend is pretty lame. Unless you are gay. Like, I can't imagine them really being pissed off about this guy.

I, personally, will watch to see how they overcome the fact that the whole special girl of the show isn't really that special. Maybe that is the point, she is supposed to be "nice" and "down to earth" despite being rich. She's going to date the non rich boy with the hot dad, which will indicate how deep she is.
She may be deep and nice, but she is not especially exciting to watch on screen. She's like a girl who would be cool in real life, but on TV is boring. I will also watch to see if they can overcome the horrible cliched writing that this show boasts.

In other news, there is this weird half asian rich asshole kind of guy who is interesting. You know, because he is a debauched asshole? But cute? He's like the almost rapist, or the rapist. And he is all the rich kids' friend, because he parties, and has the drugs, and is cruelly yet cleverly shallow, or whatever. Of course he knows some big "secret" of the Barkinesque girl that he is trying to blackmail her with. Either way, he seems like the best, most compelling actor.

It's like a big remake of the movie Cruel Intentions. :rolleyes: Or the South Park episode: "South Park in Aspen!". For real.

Okay, but really, the show is stupid. It is exactly a night time soap. I might watch for the clothes...:laugh:

Let's remember that I don't have cable.

Also, L&O SVU rules.
