Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Shows I’ll Be Checking Out This Fall
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!

Popularity: unranked [?]
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!
