Fall Tv: What's Hot, and what's....definitely Not.

As we head into October, we are officially into the new fall season of shows. Now, as if I didn’t already have a mile long list of shows I follow weekly, it looks like this season has brought with it a ton of amazing new shows. Great. And so my pop culture addiction continues. So I thought i'd give you a little breakdown/mini review of all the shows i've been watching. Basically, i'm hoping to enable more pop culture addicts. Warning: I do not have very high-class tv taste. So, for your mocking pleasure the shows I already follow include:

Dexter- If you’re into dark, Showcase-style shows with hilarious lines like “I have no idea what Hammertime is, or how it differs from any other time”, then you’ll love Dexter. Also, Michael C. Hall…enough said.

One Tree Hill- My guilty pleasure. 8 seasons of amazing music, great fashion, and unapologetic soap opera plots.

Glee- Once upon a time there was a show called Glee. It was hilariously politically incorrect, was full of amazing one-liners, and defied all the after-school special style shows about highschool. But unfortunately, good things can’t last forever. Last seasons Glee just failed to live up to its first year. I no longer find myself listening to Glee covers on repeat on my iPod, and I’m finding fewer and fewer Sue lines to quote on Twitter. Sorry Glee, you might just be on the chopping block for me this year.

Modern Family- HILARIOUS. That is all. Watch it…seriously.

Big Bang Theory- “Dear Amy, self respect and a hymen are better than friends and fun. Love, Mom.” That’s a quote from last week’s episode. So yeah, this show is amazing. Watch this too.

90210- Yes, I’ll admit that I watch this. If you are looking for any kind of fashion tips, you should watch this. These Beverley Hills rich kids have amazing style. But they don't really know how to act. And the writing can be a little cringe-worthy. But the fashion!

Grey’s Anatomy- As much as it pains me to say this, I think Grey’s may just be on my fall tv chopping block. I long for the days of season 2 when Derek and Meredith weren’t total downers and Christina was a 24/7 snarky one-liner machine.

Nikita- I half watch this show. Mostly because a) it’s shot it Toronto. And b) it’s full of gun-weilding, good looking, vengeful spies. It’s just plain fun to watch.

Other shows I watch and enjoy: Covert Affairs, Vampire Diaries, Flashpoint, The Office

Shows I should be watching because they’re actually quality TV (but watch too much bad TV and don’t have time): Boardwalk Empire, Madmen, Person of Interest, Community, Breaking Bad

Okay, so now onto the new shows!

Revenge- I thought I would hate this show. But surprisingly, I don’t. In fact it’s my second favorite new show. Emily VanCamp is fabulous in it. Her coolly delivered lines make me wish I was as suave as her. And of course, any show about insanely rich young people features drool-worthy fashion. I’d definitely recommend this show!

2 Broke Girls – About 2 girls, who are broke…duh. They’re trying to raise money to start their own cupcake shop. It’s pretty simple but this show is just pure fun. The writing can be both hilarious and groan worthy at times. It’s still trying to find its comedic rhythm, but I’m enjoying it enough to casually watch it.

New Girl- My FAVORITE new show! Seriously hilarious. Zooey Deschanel, you are my hero. This show is comedic genius. When they made a Lord of the Rings reference in the first episode, the geek in me knew it was love at first sight. Zooey plays the world’s most awkward girl who rooms with 3 equally odd guys. Cue the hilarity. Watch this, please. For your own good.

Hart of Dixie- It’s a mixture of Gilmore Girls and the Hannah Montana Movie. I love Rachel Bilson so I was hoping it would be good. But I have to admit, it’s kind of a cheese fest, and not in a good way. But the fashion is amazing (as expected with Rachel Bilson). I want all her clothes. So who knows, I might still keep watching it.

The Secret Circle- If charmed and Pretty Little Liars had a baby, it would be this show. After 2 episodes I already cut it. But if you have a 16 year old daughter/niece, they might like it. 

Panam, Charlie’s Angels,  Playboy Club, Prime Suspect, TerraNova, etc- I have no time to watch these shows but haven’t heard particularly good things about them. In fact, Playboy club has already been cancelled.

And there you have it! My Fall tv breakdown/ confession of all the horrible TV I watch. I apologize to anyone who actually has good taste and was offended that I watch 90120.

Have you seen any great shows that you want to recommend? Please, I’m always looking to fuel my pop culture addiction. I write a blog, so I like to pretend watching TV is real work.

Also, if you ever see a fab outfit on TV and want to know where it’s from, I highly recommend checking out Possesionista. She helped me find a fabulous lace dress from 90210. Turns out it was from Urban Outfitters (and on sale!).
