I love you, fall

September 19th, 2009

I know people are going to think I’m crazy but I am kind of happy the summer is over. This summer in particular was a blur of being super immensely pregnant and then having a newborn right in the middle. We didn’t get to go on vacation like we always do not to mention the weather here was so weird it added to the feeling that summer just didn’t happen.

The real reason I’m so happy to wave goodbye to the non-summer of aught -nine is because I really love fall. Even without that fun back to school feeling its still pretty great. Sweaters, corduroys, caramel apples, leaves changing color. It all makes me jump for joy.

Mostly though. I am SO EXCITED for TV. Seriously. People get embarrassed because loving TV is very lowbrow. Especially when you consider just how much I love it I should probably be a little embarrassed but I am not. Well, not entirely. I do watch the Ghost Whisperer, it’s my secret shame.

Figuring out my fall line up is one of my favorite things to do all year and this year is no exception. Luckily due to the multiple Tivo action we can tape and watch whatever we want. I usually make an excel spreadsheet to organize it all including dates shows start back up again but this year I just don’t have the time so I’m kind of winging it. Scared I’ll miss something (I already missed the premiere of the biggest loser) but not really caring all that much. Lack of sleep will bring on the ennui faster than anything.

New Shows I Am Going To Try Out
The Biggest Loser -maybe, if I can get the 1st episode
Mercy -a doctor show. Might not like it
The Beautiful Life – Mischa Barton and models. as Matthew says, every show on the CW is exactly the same. Which I think is their hook.
Modern Family – looks cute, we’ll see. not expecting anything
Cougar Town – Sure I’ll try it
Melrose Place – Maybe, the pilot was v boring. It is on the CW though…
Glee – delicious fun, love it already
Flash Forward – Will try it once.
Eastwick – Totally in
Vampire Diaries – of course. (CW!)

Thankfully they are never new on the same week cause whoa, I do not have time for that. Sure, sometimes things sit on the Tivo for weeks or months but eventually there will be nothing to watch and I will have 11 episodes of Brothers and Sisters to get me through the week (that totally happened once) Considering I rarely put the TV on during the day its a lot of pressure but somehow I just power through and make it happen. I’m good like that.
