Fall TV is back again!

We all know my favorite part of Fall is the television. I usually can't wait until it's here because I am dying for something new to watch. Well, I am happy to report that this year, it wasn't that bad. Summer television was actually watchable, and amusing. It softened the blow, and I am not as anxious as usual for the Fall TV (though I am not going to lie...I was SO HAPPY when the CW started their shows week....really did make my week better)

But in honor of decent programming this summer I am going to compile a short list of shows from the summer I thoroughly enjoyed.

Returning shows:

Weeds: Always a summer favorite and it never disappoints! And although the story lines sometimes get a little crazy, its still hilarious, laugh-out-loud fun. Andy is one of my favorite characters on TV. And the end of the season, I actually didn't see coming. I love a good twist.

True Blood: Season finale is this Sunday and I cant wait! Its so raunchy and ridiculous! Who doesn't love a show that manages to find a reason for the delicious Ryan Kwanten to take his shirt off in EVERY EPISODE?! I also love HOW MANY people watch this show! Its on HBO and still has a huge following. I know at least 10 people who watch and love it! Vampire Mania really is taking over the country...


In Plain Sight: I just love this show. Normally I am not one for boring police/detective/crime/procedural kind of shows but this one is great. Granted, its on USA so its quirky and I love the lead character, Mary. She edgy, and grouchy and does whatever the hell she wants and people run in fear. I also love one of the supporting characters, Marshall Marshall Mann, who is super quirky and adds lots of laughs to the show. The show really is great, and I know they are changing lots of it around before next season, and I really hope they don't lose what makes it great.

New Shows:

OMG. There were SO MANY new summer shows that I absolutely LOVED. There usually aren't even that many new Fall show I get this attached to. I really hope most of them make it back for another season.


10 Things I Hate About You: I know I said I would never watch another ABC Family show again after the UNJUST cancellation of Kyle XY...but I did. But only because all the reviewers said it was a CANT MISS. And they were right. Its amazing. Smart, Funny, and lots of pop-culture references that make you LOL. And 2 of the leads have such amazing chemistry you cant help but root for them as a couple. The season finale was perfect, and made me feel like a smiley, stupid teenage girl. (and it got renewed today...YAY!) Random awesome quote: "friend with the disturbingly deep voice who looks much older than 17" (this guys voice really is disturbingly deep)



Being Human: On BBC America, I don't know how I started watching this random show about a werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost who are all roommates (oh wait, that's why, AWESOME premise), but I did. And it is SO GOOD. I think it was only like 6 episodes and it was on Saturday night, but I found myself neglecting to go out just so I could stay home and watch it, or racing home after work to catch the latest episode. It is one of the funniest shows I have seen in a while and the writing is superb. I never watch BBC America but I will def. be tuning in next summer to catch the next season (which I know has already started production!)



Dark Blue: This show is well, dark. But its so good! Another cop show somehow caught my eye (could it be the extra hot cast?) and I'm glad. This one is really good, there are 4 characters who make up a heavily under-cover unit and they get to go under with all these real dangerous people. Its compelling and has great acting..and seriously that one guy...SUPER HOT.

Defying Gravity: I have NO CLUE how I started watching this...I thought it was a made-for-TV-movie so I randomly DVR'd it and when I watched it I discovered a series that literally sucked me it. It is set in the future (where abortion is illegal...that really annoyed me) and its about a group of astronauts who had to go through a 5 year program and then some are picked for a 6 year mission into space. The show jumps back and forth from their current time (in space, on the mission) and 5 years earlier (when they first started the training program). It also has a weird sci-fi element (like monsters in the closet) which is just starting to be explored which is compelling. I like it a lot, and it has that actress in it (whose name escapes me) but she was the alien in The Faculty, one of my favorite movies of all time.

So that's what I was watching all summer, figured I would tell you about it now, since I have been neglecting my blog. And everyone should pick up Being Human and watch it, if you like supernatural stuff, and if it ever comes out on DVD here in the states.
