I have enjoyed watching exactly ZERO TV this summer. Yes, Friday Night Lights was on NBC but honestly that Friday night schedule didn’t work out for me too well. I would really like to continue the no TV into the fall but I really do love these shows. Many I will DVR and watch later but this is my list for now.
1. Monday – Lone Star
This is a new one with “Tyra” from Friday Night Lights. I can’t NOT check it out and all the entertainment blogs are raving about it.
2. Monday – Hawaii Five-0
Former LOST star turned police officer? I’m in. But I’ll ditch it fast if it’s not amazing.
3. Tuesday – Parenthood
Parenthood is funny and dramatic and real.
4. Tuesday – One Tree Hill
Well, duh.
5. Tuesday – Glee
This one honestly could come or go. Even last season I was mainly watching from DVR and it’s another I’ll ditch if it’s not amazing.
6. Wednesday – Hellcats
I have to check this one out at least. I loved Bring It On and I love Ashley Tisdale. Plus it has One Tree Hill alum Robbie Jones.
7. Wednesday – Modern Family
Not to be missed! Hilarious TV! Also one of of few shows Scott and I will watch together.
8. Thursday – Vampire Diaries
Going into this season, it’s one of my favorites. Drama!!
9. Thursday – My Generation
This one is going to be interesting. Two Friday Night Lights alums are in this and I definitely want to see what it’s about.
10. Thursday – Grey’s Anatomy
Um, hello? I’m an original Grey’s fan. Watch it. Own it. Love it. Seriously.
And optionally Dexter. I don’t have Showtime so I won’t be able to watch but if people start chattering about how good it is, I might have to break down and get it for a few months.
Obviously, I’m a drama fan! With endless time, there are many more fabulous shows I would like to add (Lie to Me, Big Bang Theory, Chuck, The Middle, House, How I Met Your Mother) but 2-3hrs/night is already too much!
What’s on your must-see list for the fall? What am I missing? I found FNL from a comment on my list last year!

I really want to try out Raising Hope because I love Martha Plimptom and Cloris Leachman, plus it looks like a silly take on Raising Arizona, but without the kidnapping.
Hellcats? Hmmmmm, will have to investigate.
Mine will be NCIS and NCIS LA. 🙂 And of course OTH!
I'm totally going to at least try the new JJ Abrams show, Undercovers. C'mon…JJ Abrams! 🙂
My son also told me about a show called The Event, which is touted as being the best of both "Lost" and "24." Plus, it features the adorable Jason Ritter.
Oh, JJ Abrams? I might have to check it out. How have I not heard of this?
Jason Ritter? Love.
Hellcats is your normal Teen drama fare.
Yes, your beloved NCIS 🙂
Can't wait for new Parenthood and Vampire Diaries!!! I finally saw a preview for Hellcats the other night, I might have to check it out too.
I am with you on Glee, Parenthood, VD & Modern Family, even though I have to watch VD online since they won't give us the CW for free around here. It's really a crime.
Anywho…I'd really like to give Hawaii 5-0 a chance b/c I love ALL the actors, but I just don't have any faith it will be good. Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong.
Also, I'm googling the others I hadn't heard of now…
Oh, and yeah, I think The Event will be good as long as it goes the way of "LOST" instead of the way of, say, "FlashForward."
I'm really tentative about Hawaii 5-0 as well. I hope it's not the normal cop/drama formula every week.
I think you should definitely give My Generation a chance…it's about kids that graduated from high school in the late 90s and they are following them 10 years later. Has a lot to do with current events, etc. I think we are definitely the target audience…
Glee. That's all I watch. But we don't have cable, so I'll catch it on Hulu the day after or so… 😀
The only show that is MUST see for me is The Vampire Diaries. I'm so excited to pick up my Season 1 DVD's next Tuesday I can't stand it! The Season 2 promo was one of CW's best ever.
Most of the rest of the shows I like are hit and miss with the kids' activities and me remembering to DVR them. Glee and OTH are on Tuesday when the kids have Gateway (Youth Group) so I will miss the beginning/end of at least one of them. Castle is a show I love but it keeps moving around so I may just wait for the DVD's.
There are lots of shows I would love to try but have never seen one episode. This would include LOST, FNL, Greys, Modern Family. I'm hopelessly behind!
Okay, so my list is almost the same EXCEPT: I haven't started watching Modern Family YET. It will make it on to my list. I definitely recommend How I Met Your Mother, and my mom got me in to Private Practice last year! I seriously doubt I'll check out Hawaii 5-0 even though I loved Jin.
Shows I'm most anticipating: Glee and Vampire Diaries. Wow, that doesn't make me sound my age at all. HA!
Yes, I loved that promo!
And you MUST watch all of LOST, FNL, Greys, Modern Family
I'll trade you Everwood for Modern Family 😉
I gave up Private Practice 2 season ago. It's good, just not enough for my busy Thursday.
No Hawaii 5-0?? Come on! I need your input!
Yes, sadly its quite the addiction to watch! 🙂 My whole family makes fun of me for being so captivated by it. lol
DANIEL DAE KIM. Yes, I am watching that.
Also. HIMYM and BBT are must-watch. You'll have to squeeze them in—it's only 20 minutes on a DVR! 😉
And Undercovers? Have not heard about that either! On my way to find a good premiere calendar!!
a
Do you think My Generation is a remake of the show Reunion that was on Fox several years ago? I am going to try to at least watch one episode b/c it seems a bit intriguing.
Love the list 🙂 I, too, am hoping Hawaii Five-O is not a disappointment!
I have to admit, I love the new show on USA, Covert Affairs… and I'm hoping Human Target comes back.
Not that I ever watch any of these shows "live." Thank goodness for DVR!
🙂
I've heard good stuff about Covert Affairs but have never seen it.
I can't believe you watch Modern Family, but not the Middle. It took us a few episodes to get into it, but now we watch them over and over. Those 2 shows are great to watch with our kids.
I'll be checking out My Generation, although I'm already nervous. It reminds me (in theory) of Reunion, which got cancelled too fast!
