Television — “Programs that are broadcast by
television.”
-Black’s Law Dictionary
Since this week is
officially the fall tv premiere week, I thought I’d write a post about what
shows I’m going to be watching this fall.
I always think a lot of shows are going to be my new favorite show and
then end up never watching it, except for my favorite and go-to shows. So no, I likely won’t be stuck in front of
the tv watching all of these, but these are the shows that are standing out to
me now.
Tuesday, September 18th
Total Divas (9
pm, E!) – I’ve talked about my love of Total Bellas before on one of my posts
about what tv shows to watch, and a new season of its precursor, Total Divas,
is back for another season. I find the
dynamics of the show really interesting because it shows the truth behind the
wrestling world and has actually made me appreciate the hard work they put into
their shows, even if I’m not a huge fan of the actual wrestling shows.
Monday, September 24th
Dancing with the Stars (8 pm, ABC) – DWTS is one of the great staples of ABC television. I got away from watching it for a while, but
l got drawn back in by their 25th season and now I can’t stop
watching. The stars that I have my
attention are Grocery Store Joe (duh), Fernando from Fuller House, Danelle
Umstead, and Mary Lou Renton (I always have to root for the gymnast). I love how creative the pros are with their
dances so I’m looking forward to this season.
Tuesday, September 25th
*FBI (9 pm, CBS) – What really drew me to this show was the show’s
frontrunner, Missy Peregrym. I loved
Rookie Blue so I figured that she would have a similar role in this show which follows
officers in the New York office of the FBI.
I’ve always been enamored by the OG crime shows, like NCIS, but this new
show seems to have some promise of being a new solid crime drama.
Wednesday, September 26th
American Housewife (8:30
pm, ABC) – This is probably my favorite show on television. This show follows your average middle class
family living in the posh suburb of Westport, CT and shows their attempts to
fit in, or not, with a completely different bread of people. I think the show embodies the importance of
family and how it’s okay to be a little different. Also, the show is hilarious and is probably
one of the best comedies on tv.
Thursday, September 27th
Grey’s Anatomy (8
pm, ABC) – Ah, good old Grey’s. I’m
still sad that Arizona and April are no longer part of the Grey Sloan team, but
I am glad they got their happy endings.
I do have some other strong opinions about last season (including my
feelings on how the 300th episode should have been the series finale
instead of just an episode in the middle of a season), but I love the new
storyline of Amelia helping the young mom with her addiction and Jo and Karev’s
relationship. Shonda hits me in the
feels with this show.
Friday, September 28th
*Last Man Standing (8
pm, FOX) – When I was little, I constantly watched Home Improvement with my
dad. Last Man Standing showcases Tim
Allen in a very similar role to Tim “the Toolman” Taylor, but with three
daughters instead of three sons and updated for current events. This show technically isn’t a new show, but
it’s on a new network which kind of counts.
I’ve been binging the series on Hulu and I’m super enjoying watching it.
Sunday, September 30th
America’s Funniest Home Videos (7 pm, ABC) – Now this isn’t a show that if I miss an
episode I have to watch it later, but I definitely enjoy watching it when it’s
on. I love seeing other people doing
funny/stupid things. There’s also cute babies
and puppies in some of the videos so it’s a great show to put on to relax.
Monday, October 1st
*Happy Together (8:30
pm, CBS) – This show focuses on an average couple who lets a young rock star
crash at their apartment. The wife is
played by Amber Stevens West, who you might know as Ashleigh in Greek, and I’ve
been a fan of her for a while. This show
is based on a true story about Harry Styles and when he moved in with a
producer (P.S. he’s also a producer on the show). Definitely looks like it’s going to be a
super funny show.
Thursday, October 4th
Will & Grace (9
pm, NBC) – I feel like this show may not even need an explanation of why I’m
watching. In an era of reboots, this one
feels the most like the show never ended and the reboot is actually just a new
season aired twelve years after the last season. The writers perfectly adapted the original
characters into what they would be like in 2018, and I couldn’t be happier that
they haven’t changed a bit from the original.
Plus, Karen and Jack are hilarious.
Sunday, October 7th
*Dancing with the Stars:
Juniors (8 pm, ABC) – DWTS is
expanding its franchises much like the Bachelor Nation shows. Having kids learn how to ballroom dance adds
an interesting element to the original show.
I also like that each of the couples has a pro mentor from the original
DWTS show. I’m excited to see how this
show progresses.
Shark Tank (10
pm, ABC) – Watching the sharks is one of the highlights of my week. They’re very smart people who know a lot
about business. I love seeing the
creativity of the people who come on the show to get funding and how the sharks
react to their ideas. I also love when
they have the updates on the people who previously had gotten investments from
the sharks.
Tuesday, October 9th
The Little Couple (9
pm, TLC) – My favorite reality family is back for another season. I feel like TLC doesn’t know what a gem they
have with this show as Bill, Jen, and their kids make up one of the cutest families
on television. Any of the drama they
encounter is traditional family drama and showcases how amazing of a family
they are. I honestly can’t believe how
old their kids are getting, but they’re so cute and it’s great to see them
growing up.
Wednesday, October 10th
Riverdale (10 pm, The CW) – This
show has just the right amount of creepy mixed with fun high school drama. I’m still not completely convinced that Mr.
Cooper isn’t the Black Hood, but I guess I’ll accept it for the sake of the
show. The adults’ dynamics and
storylines really intrigue me because of the more real drama that is going on
in their lives and the deep secrets all of them hold together. I’m looking forward to the episode this season
that delves into the parents’ high school relationships.
Thursday, October 11th
Dynasty (8 pm, The CW) – Wow,
the first season of this show was so explosively dynamic and engaging that I’m
almost scared the second season won’t live up to the first. This show is soap opera-y enough to make it
riveting, but not so much that it’s not believable. One of my favorite characters ended up being
Crystal, regardless of her position on the show as a villain. I feel like the show’s storywriters gave her
background so much to explore and I love it.
Tuesday, October 16th
*The Rookie (10
pm, ABC) – As many of the other new shows this season, I was drawn to this show
based on the main character, played by Nathan Fillion. I loved him in Castle so I hope he lives up
to my expectations in this show. He
plays a rookie on a police force who is older than the traditional rookie. I’m interested to see how ABC sets this
police drama apart from others and hopefully, their distinction isn’t just
referring to Nathan Fillion’s character’s age all the time.
* new shows on tv
Because of my school
work, I typically don’t watch all of these shows when they first air. I typically watch them later On Demand when
I’m relaxing. I’m also the type of
person who likes having background noise when I study so I’ll watch some of the
shows when I’m reading for school. What
shows are you planning on watching this fall?
