2011 Must-Sees in Fall TV
It’s September and you guys know what THAT means!!!! FALL TELEVISION IS BAAAAACKKKK!
“But, BCU girl, television is just the WORST!” – you
“I know, shut up.” – me
Here are the top 5 shows you MUST watch this season!
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Sure the show took a bit of a downward turn last season, but we’re counting on the weight gain of Mac and Charlie’s dumb-as-rocks antics to make the show comedy gold once again. Thursdays, FX, Thursday 10pm
Parks and Recreation
The show that has yet to fail us since its creation, Parks and Rec features comedy power house Amy Poehler and an ensemble of other hilarious cohorts that make this show one of my favorites in years. Thursdays, NBC, 8:30pm
Sons of Anarchy
If you have not watched this show yet, get on Netflix IMMEDIATELY and watch the first two seasons. You will not be disappointed. Trust me: I have found myself on six separate occasions saying “okay okay okay, go to bed. STOP WATCHING,” only to find myself watching four more until the sun comes up. It’s THAT good. Tuesdays, FX, 10pm
Up All Night
I was one to suggest you all watch Running Wilde, an ABC show starring Will Arnett, one of my favorite comedy actors of all time. That show fell horribly flat and my credibility may have been destroyed. However, this new show, co-starring Christina Applegate and Maya Rudolph along with Arnett, may have the cast that it needs to make a new “family comedy” show that will rise to the chops of Modern Family. I give it a hearty “We Will See,” so don’t blame me if it’s the worst. Wednesdays, NBC, 8pm
Modern Family
Hilarious hijinks, a goofy gay couple, and one of the sexiest stars around are all you need to make this show an unsurprising 3rd season favorite. We can’t wait to see what the family is up to this year. Wednesdays, ABC, 9pm
Terra Nova
Another show that my nerd side is excited to see (while my normal side cringes in embarrassment) is this Steven Spielberg produced sci-fi show that may hit or bust with equal tenacity. If you’re down with some post-apocalyptic shenanigans, you’ll be a fan of this exciting show and its relatively unknown cast. Check it out when it premieres on the 26th, and feel free to pummel me with angry words if it’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen. Fox, Mondays, 8pm
