Well, fall TV season is officially kicked off and running. I'm enjoying way too much TV, as usual. However, there are several shows that I'm enjoying that
weren't in my original fall TV plan. Here are a few of the shows I have become somewhat obsessed with. :)
I'm really liking ABC's
Once Upon a Time! I love seeing who is revealed as which fairy tale character. Rumpelstiltskin in particular creeps me out, so well done show! I'm not even annoyed by Jennifer Morrison (who I HATED on
How I Met Your Mother last season). I particularly want to know who the sheriff represents. I've read a few theories on who he could be but I can't wait for the big reveal. And I'm loving Ginnifer Goodwin, as I knew I would. She is adorable. The special effects aren't exactly the best but nonetheless, this is a show I'm enjoying.
Suburgatory is another show I'm enjoying! I first heard about this show at
Pop Culture Junkie and I'm very glad I tuned in. It makes me laugh and groan and really enjoy Jeremy Sisto on my screen! It's not perfect, some episodes have been better than others, but all in all, it's a fun show. The humor can be kind of dead pan which I enjoy and yeah, I admit, I like seeing all the suburban cliches being played out with so much exaggeration. It's a fun show all in all!
I'm also really enjoying
Hart of Dixie which just has a nice, old-fashioned WB feel to it. Rachel Bilson still isn't that believable as this super smart surgeon but I'm getting better about kind of believing it. I like the southern feel to the show and the different culture that represents for me because I've never really been exposed to the south in real life. It's interesting, though I'm sure once again exaggerated. Plus, this show has Wade who is just well, REALLY nice to watch on screen. It's been a good show so far though I do hope they make Scott Porter's character, George, a bit more exciting.
I never got into
Ringer sadly, much as I love Sarah Michelle Gellar, so I gave up on that show. I also still haven't seen
Pan Am which is a show I was interested in watching but I've only heard so-so things about it so it may be something I try in the summer, when I have no real TV to watch. I also gave up on
The Secret Circle. It just wasn't moving fast enough for me. I've heard it's picked up a bit so I may give it a try this summer but for now, I'm okay holding off on it. I had really high hopes for it because I love Kevin Williamson but I am okay with not watching right now.
And I have to do one plug for my current favorite comedy,
Parks & Recreation. If you haven't seen this show, get season 2 on DVD (you can skip season 1, honestly) and start watching. It makes me laugh-out-loud every single week and it has been a stellar fourth season so far. Ron Swanson is the man. I LITERALLY love Rob Lowe's character and seriously, Leslie Knope is a fabulous female character on TV. She is smart, kind of awkward, kind, and just genuine. Everything we should want to see in female TV characters. Really, this show needs more people watching it!
So, that's my TV talk so far this season. What new shows have been hits or misses with you? Anything I really need to watch that I've left out?
