I'm excited that we're finally getting new tv episodes again! It feels like ages! I was studying abroad last fall, and then I get back right in time for the strike.
Continuing shows I can't wait to return:
30 Rock: I cannot get enough of Tina Fey! And this show is so good. Writing is flawlessly catchy. Characters are hilarious. What more can you ask for?
Gossip Girl: I feel a little dirty for loving this show so much, then I remember that none of the actual actors are high school age. Then I feel a little better. A little. But this show is so well done. The plotlines are really interesting, I often find myself surprised. And the characters are all very well developed. Everyone's flawed, but everyone has some redeeming virtue.
The Office: Part of me wants to be done with this series after last season. I like that Jim and Pam are together now, but there's no conflict anymore. And one of my favorite things about The Office had always been the side characters. But they all got so mean! The "Did I Stutter?" episode turned Stanley from lovable old disillusioned guy to angry guy you don't wanna be around. But I have hope! It will get better. Everything will be liked it used to!
New Shows I Want to Try:
Fringe: I always wanted to get in to The X-Files, but never did. And this series is supposed to be inspired by that. It all seems very mysterious. I find myself intrigued.
Leverage: Hackers and con artists take down big business. Yes. I'm not a fan of big business, so this concept makes me happy. If I were a hacker, I would totally use my mad computer skillz to take down evil corporations! I intend to live vicariously through these characters.
Life on Mars: This is based on a British show of the same name which I have been meaning to get my grubby little mits on ever since I learned of its existence. So I'm really excited that there will be an American version now! Hopefully it will be just as good. Though I heard that they had some problems making it (recasting, reshooting, then even changing the showrunner), which is ominous. But...maybe...they're just trying to make it the best it can be? Right?
Shows From Last Seaon I Want to Try:
Chuck: It looks kinda cute. I was just kinda "eh" when it first came out, but the ads during the Olympics made it look really funny. So it either has good content or good marketing. Either way, it's worth an attempt.
Pushing Daisies: The whole "guy who talks to the dead to figure out who killed them" has been done before, but this show looks like it puts a cheery spin on it. And it seems really pretty, visually. It also apears to have a chick with a bejeweled eyepatch, which is just too ridiculous for me to pass up.
Mad Men: I saw part of a rerun the other night, and it seems kind of interesting. I love period pieces, even if the period isn't so long ago. Just seems really different, and the characters are interesting. The episode I saw had this kind of creepy assistant girl, who is either really shy and sweet or a serial killer. Intriguing!
I can't wait! Until then I'll be watching Project Runway. Go Leanne!

pushing daisies is pretty fantastic. you should definitely give it a try!
I hate "Chuck," if only because NBC kept that show, but canceled "Journey Man," a MUCH better show (if totally different).
That, and I just think it sucks.
