The End of Summer Means the Beginning of Fall TV!

It’s Labor Day here in the United States, the unofficial end of summer and the beginning of the fall TV season. It used to be that summer was all about reruns and nothing new debuted until mid-September. Not anymore. Thanks to cable and reality TV, the year ’round TV schedule is here. I’ve enjoyed some really terrific shows this summer – True Blood, Royal Pains, Leverage, The Closer, Warehouse 13, Psych – and am thankful that they were around to fill the creative void. But with most of those shows having already aired their season finales or about to, it’s time to take a look at what I’m planning to watch this fall.

Must-See-Live TV
These are the shows I can’t wait to watch, so will be plopping down to watch them live.

Eastwick
Bones
Glee
The Office
Castle
The Good Wife
The New Adventures of Old Christine
Dollhouse
Three Rivers
White Collar
Robin Hood

Will-DVR TV
These are the shows that I’m OK with watching the next day, or even catching up on the weekend, instead of watching them live.

Ugly Betty
30 Rock
The Mentalist
Fringe
Lie To Me

Will-Try TV
These are shows that look promising, but I’m not quite ready to commit to a season pass on the DVR just yet.

The Vampire Diaries
Community
FlashForward
Cougar Town
The Middle
V

Probably-Not-But-Could-Be-Convinced TV
It feels like I should want to watch these shows, but…I don’t. Convince me otherwise.

Accidentally On Purpose
The Forgotten

Looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time in front of the telly again! Time to haul out ye olde NordicTrack so this couch potato doesn’t get much fluffier. We’ll be covering a lot of these shows here on NiceGirlsTV, so stay tuned!

    I hear ya. White Collar (I almost typed White Castle) and Castle are what I’m looking for. Hmm…White Castle would make a great crossover. ;) Now Chuck doesn’t come back until the winter, right? So I’ll have Psych and Chuck to look forward to in the dead of winter. Whoohoo!

      Ha! White Castle FTW!

      Yeah, Chuck’s being held back until March 2010, after the Olympics, so it’s absent from my Must Watch list. We’re keeping our spirits up at http://chucktv.net in the meantime.

      Psych and Leverage are both due back in “winter 2010″, so we’ll get another shot of those shows as well. Yay!
