Shows I’m Looking Forward to this Fall

The new TV season is upon us, and I’m getting pretty excited for the return of some of my favorite shows. While reruns, TV on DVD, and summer season shows like Burn Notice gave me a decent amount to watch the last few months, it’s just not the same as fall TV. Yes, I realize I have no life.

I thought I’d let you know a few of the shows I’m most looking forward to returning, as well as a few cancelled shows I’ll miss.

Looking forward to:
30 Rock
I watched some of the older episodes on DVD to get me through the summer, but I need some fresh Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy.

Castle
I missed this during the regular season, but I’ve been catching up via reruns. Very implausible, but definitely entertaining.

Dexter
No big cliffhanger to follow up on this season, but the promos lead me to believe it’s going to be a good one.

How I Met Your Mother
There are still a lot of people who have yet to give this show a try. Do it for NPH, my friends. He would watch your show.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it: this is the funniest show in all the land.

Mad Men
This has already started. Okay, I’m still not caught up on the last two seasons, but I’m working on it. And as soon as I am, I’ll have all the new episodes waiting for me on my DVR. The geniuses who invented TV show seasons on DVD and the DVR should win Nobel prizes.

Psych
This has already started as well, and so far it’s shaping up to be a great season.

The Office
OMG! What will happen with Jim and Pam?!? OMG! I love Jim and Pam! OMG!!!! (This has been brought to you by my girlfriend.)

Top Chef
We’re already one episode in, and this might be the best group of chefs they’ve had yet.

Gone but not forgotten (I can’t talk about these — the pain is too fresh):
Life
Pushing Daisies
The Unusuals
