Fall television

OK, y'all....now that the new television season is under way, let me tell you all what I am watching.

What I am loving:
Heroes (Mondays @ 9, NBC)--It reminds me of why I loved Buffy and X-Men. If you missed out on the Buffy heyday, or if you just miss Buffy, please check this out. It even has a blonde cheerleader.

Project Runway (Wednesdays @ 10, Bravo)--Yes, I still have this on here, even though there are only two episodes left. But--that's how I got into it. During a marathon, I saw the last couple of shows and was enthralled. Sure my love for fashion has been well documented, but it's really the drama and the comedy of these talented people that keeps me coming back. And of course, if you have witnessed the unparalleled Tim Gunn, please check this out. He's fabulous.

The Office (Thursdays @ 8:30, NBC)--I loved the second season all summer, so I could hardly wait to get into the third season live. It's a hard show to explain, other than it's written to be like a reality show--only it's much much bettter. And funnier. Also? The guy that plays Jim is my TV boyfriend. (Just don't tell Chris Daughtry, OK?)

Grey's Anatomy (Thursdays @ 9, ABC)--My mom recently said that Grey's Anatomy is to our generation what Dallas was to hers. I really don't think I need to herald my love for the show here, since we already have so many fans. But if you haven't seen it--SHAME!!! Also, every guy on there is steaming hot. (OK, maybe not George. But he's like the little brother you always wanted. And maybe not the Chief, unless you're into that Daddy-complex thing. I am not.)

What I am wishing would get better:

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (Mondays @ 10, NBC)--*sigh* I had such high hopes. I am really hoping that it gets better. From the getgo, I cared about the characters on The West Wing. Studio 60? Eh, not so much. The bright spots in the show are Matthew Perry (who has lost all traces of Chandler Bing, and for me, a HUGE Chandler Bing fan to say that, is HUGE.) and of course, Mr. Bradley Whitford, who makes me go "guuuuh" for reasons that I cannot explain. Although, watching him makes me REALLY miss The West Wing. Make me care, Aaron Sorkin! Make me care!

What I am wishing I could see but I have to put Cathryn to bed:

Ugly Betty (Thursdays @ 8, ABC)--I have heard so many good things about this, plus y'all know how much I love fashion magazines. And Television Without Pity totally loves this show. And they don't like a lot of shows. I did hear that they were going to rerun them on ABC Family, so I've got to go Google that and make sure it's for real.

What are y'all watching?

Update--what I've been watching

Monday, I watched (for the first time on network television) Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Of course, since I had also seen it on YouTube and AOL, there were no suprises to me, but I loved it just as much the third time as I did the first. However, it did make me very eager for next week's episode, and I've resolved to myself that I will not go hunting on the Internet for leaked video or spoilers of any kind. Those of you who know me, know that this will be a very difficult resolution or me to keep, because I keep regular tabs on spoilers for Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls. Heck, when American Idol airs, I go searching for spoilers on the next week's theme so I can speculate what the contestants will be singing.

Tuesday, I watched the performance episode of Dancing With The Stars. I think I've found a show (much like So You Think You Can Dance) that's too cheesy even for me. It was unbearable, and watching Joey Lawrence with a shaved head, performing a dance routine from when he was five was too much for me to take. Sorry to all those who like the show, but I just have a hard time watching celebrities perform on stage, which is probably why I also couldn't get into Celebrity Duets.

I normally watch Project Runway on Wednesdays, but last night was a repeat of last week's episode, so I took the time to fold laundry. Next week, though, there'll be a new episode with the Final Four of Laura, Uli, Michael, and Jeffrey, who will be whittled down to the Final Three. So close to seeing their collections at Fashion Week. (OK, fine, you got me. I've already seen them on Blogging Project Runway.)

Today is Thursday, which means that I have to get Cathryn asleep by 8:30 so that I can watch the season premier of The Office, and of course, Grey's Anatomy. I don't know which cliffhanger I am more amped to see resolved: Pam and Jim's hookup at Casino Night, or who Meredith will choose (McDreamy or her date, McVet) after her tryst with McDreamy (which my husband thinks is the funniest name in the world) at the Prom. If you didn't watch it last season, it's kind of hard to explain why there was a Prom at Seattle Grace Hospital.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be my television nights off, unless I catch an especially good episode of What Not To Wear. You know, because I have to rest up for the next week of viewing pleasure.

Toodles!
