It’s that time of year! When I compose my list of must see vs. must miss TV. So far there are three sitcoms I have high hopes for:
Community, Modern Family, and Cougartown. Now when I first heard about Cougartown, I swore I would never watch it, base on the horrible title. But after seeing Courtney Cox in the previews, it looks hilarious.
Modern Family is also winning me over with the previews of Al Bundy as the over the hill husband of a much younger woman, the gay couple with a kid, and the couple with the dad doing the High School Musical choreography. Since I don’t watch commercials as a rule (DVR’s 30 second skip is the best invention ever) I haven’t seen too much of them, but when I land on them they always catch my attention and I skip back to watch them.
I don’t know much about Community, but the fact that it’s by the people who made 30 means I’m in.
Another new show I’m excited about coming back: Glee. I loved the premiere back in May and loved its blend of comedy and music. I can’t even recall what other new shows are out there, I’m going to have to get my grid together and figure out how it lines up night by night.
Fall starts early this week though with Project Runway. The first time that I’ve been able to watch it as it comes on instead of catching a marathon when we get a free month of Bravo. Thursday night — make it work!
ETA: On an unrelated TV note, as intrigued as I am by Octomom’s 8 babies, I refuse to watch the show tomorrow night on principle. I hope it gets horrible ratings so no one else tries to pump out babies in an attempt to get their own reality show. Poor babies.
