What I'll Be Watching This Fall

Unless you are completely oblivious to the content that is on this blog, you should be well aware that I am a big fan of TV. Mildly obsessed, one might say. To quote Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock, "I just love television so much." Tomorrow marks the start of many new Fall programs on the big networks and I couldn't be more excited. I find it only fitting that I should reveal my picks for Fall TV shows during the Primetime Emmy Awards (at least, while I'm watching them.)

Picking this season's choices has been particularly challenging. My roommate, Carolyn, and I love to watch TV together, but don't always agree on which program to view at what time. Luckily for us, we have DVR, so we can plan which shows to watch live and which ones we will record and catch up with later. Unfortunately DVR can only record 2 shows at a time, so a few nights a week we might have to record 2 shows and watch a 3rd on another set. Yes, we are that amazing.

So anyway... without further ado... here's what I (and Carolyn) will be watching this Fall. (click for a better view)

Now, let me elaborate for you on a few pieces of information:
  • We will only be watching Dancing with the Stars to follow former Spice Girl Melanie Brown's progress. Once she gets the boot we will then stop caring about the show.
  • On select nights, Carolyn and I will separate to our own quarters to watch our choice program i.e. Mondays at 10pm and Tuesdays at 9pm
  • Wednesday night we have MAJOR, as-of-yet unresolved issues about what to watch. We have ranked the shows in order of importance, but for the moment we don't know how to watch everything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
  • We will only be watching Survivor to kill time until 30 Rock.
  • I don't watch TV on Fridays because I'm normally drinking doing charity work
  • Sunday nights are a free-for-all because we're normally in a McDonald's-induced post-America's Funniest Videos
Do you agree with our picks? What should be really be watching?
