493999989It’s fall! And along with chilly air and the Pumpkin Spice Latte, we are given the gift of fall TV premiers. I’m so excited!

Here is what I’m looking forward to:

  • Legends (on DVD, didn’t get to see it this summer)
  • Stalker
  • The Flash

Here’s what I’ve already seen and am excited about:

  • Madam Secretary
  • Scorpion
  • Forever
  • The Mysteries of Laura
  • Selfie

Here’s what I’m most thrilled to see return:

  • The Blacklist (Best new show of last fall!)
  • Doctor Who
  • Hell on Wheels
  • Person of Interest
  • Modern Family
  • Bones
  • Castle
  • Homeland
  • White Collar (sniff sniff, last season)
  • Grimm
  • The Mentalist (sniff sniff, last season)
  • Elementary
  • Downton Abbey
  • Justified
  • Continuum
  • Sherlock

And I’ve seen and am on the fence about Gotham and How to Get Away with Murder, despite having initial high hopes. And I want to be really excited about Gracepoint, but I wasn’t over the moon about the BBC version, even though I am over the moon about David Tennant, my beloved 10th Doctor.

 

What about you? What’s on your watch list?

Fall TV Premiers: My Perspective

166132280Fall brings so many delights with it—Pumpkin Spice Lattes, cooler weather, leaves changing colors. And to people like me, new series premiers! I love this time of year. There are always a few shows you say goodbye to in the spring, but fall brings new and renew. It’s a way to fill those little holes in your life, or at least in your TV schedule. 😉

Here’s what I’m really looking forward to:

  • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
  • Hostages
  • Intelligence
  • The Blacklist
  • The Michael J. Fox Show
  • Sleepy Hollow (dug the pilot)
  • Almost Human
  • Enlisted
  • The Tomorrow People

Here’s what I’m unsure about:

  • The Goldbergs—Didn’t think I’d like it, but the pilot was kinda funny. I’ll check out a few more episodes.
  • Trophy Wife—Was pleasantly pleased by the pilot.
  • Lucky 7—We’ll see. Saw the UK version.
  • Back in the Game—Disappointed in pilot. I’ll try another episode before making up my mind.
  • Betrayal—Don’t know enough yet.
  • Once Upon A Time in Wonderland—Not sure about the direction it’s predecessor is taking, but will give it a whirl.
  • Mom—Clips look terrible, but with these two, I’ll try it out.
  • The Millers—Same comment as above. Just not sure Will Arnett can find the AD gold again.
  • The Crazy Ones—Hmmmm, just not sure yet.
  • We Are Men—It’s going to get one episode to prove itself to me. Honestly, I don’t have a lot of hope.
  • Sean Saves the World—Same comment as above.
  • Ironside—Saw the pilot, but not hooked yet.
  • Dracula—Haven’t gotten into a vamp show yet, so we’ll see if this is the game-changer.
  • Dads—Would’ve listed it above until I saw the pilot. WAS NOT IMPRESSED. Very disappointed. And sad, considering how much I love Seth Green. Will give it one more episode, not counting on it.

And, of course, what I’m most excited to see return:

  • Castle
  • Modern Family
  • Scandal
  • Person of Interest
  • Elementary
  • Hawaii Five-0
  • The Good Wife
  • Grimm
  • Bones
  • Doctor Who
  • White Collar
  • Downton Abbey
  • Psych
  • Justified

 

What about you? What’s going to fill up your queue or DVR in the coming months?
