fall tv lineup! a.k.a. where i’ll be for the next few months

Okay, the secret is finally out …

Phew! I’m glad I don’t have to hide that anymore. Not that I did, ever. I’m pretty much addicted to TV shows, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Hello, my name is Brianna and I’m addicted to television. I enjoy divulging in other (fictitious) people’s lives and watching their drama unfold while attempting to avoid drama in my own life at all costs. It works for the most part. It’s like reading but allowing your brain a break, which is a must every now and then – or every night once fall TV shows are airing! (it’s not a dangerous or crazy addiction…just sayin)

And now, a glimpse into what is the most amazing time of year for TV addicts…

And a few that I’m super excited for, as they’re series premieres:

Madam Secretary – CBS Sundays 8/7c beginning September 21st. A hot new show about the nation’s capital…I’m game, at least for an episode or two.
The Flash – CW Tuesdays 8/7c beginning October 7th. It’s a spin-off from the CW’s Arrow and looks interesting!
Marry Me – NBC Tuesdays 9/8c beginning October 14th. Check out the trailer! It’s hilarious! Funny, funny stuff.
NCIS: New Orleans – CBS Tuesdays 9/8c beginning September 23rd. I mean, NCIS goes southern?! Yes, please!
How to Get Away With Murder – ABC Thursdays 10/9c beginning September 25th. It’s Shonda Rhimes. ‘Nuff said!
Forever – ABC Tuesdays 10/9c beginning September 23rd. A vampire-y medical examiner? Umm, sure! I’ll give it a go.

**Hart of Dixie, The Mentalist, CSI: Cyber (series premiere) and Mike & Molly are midseason shows that currently don’t have an official start date, but they’re on my radar, guaranteed!**

There are tons more (popular) shows out there this time of year (Survivor, The Walking Dead, The Voice, Mom, The Good Wife, Person of Interest, Dancing With the Stars, Law & Order: SVU, Sons of Anarchy…), but I’ve only given super detailed information on the shows I’m interested in. And yes, I’ll be DVR’ing every single one of the shows in bold. I told you, I’m addicted. It’s what I do! Some people are excited about fall football, and I’m excited about fall TV. Take it or leave it! Although, I must also admit that even though all of these will be recorded at first, it’s very likely that several of them will be stopped if I’m just not feeling them. Like, I’m not fully caught up on Revenge, The Mentalist, and Hawaii Five-O, so those may go. And I’m planning a Scandal marathon (or two) very soon to begin and catch up on that show. It’s had rave reviews and I just can’t NOT watch it anymore. 🙂 And some of the newbie shows most likely won’t stick around for me, so there’s that.

*Sidenote: (because people ask…) no, I will not be able to keep up with all of these shows to stay current. There will be many weekends of catching up when and where I can.*

Oh, the life of a TV addict!

What TV shows are you looking forward to this fall? Any that aren’t on my list and should be??
