What Shows are You "Falling" For?

Recently I had a lunch with a mentor/friend and our discussion like always went to the books we were currently reading.  She then posed this question, "How are we going to get all this reading done with new fall television season starting?"  A great question.  I love TV!  If I had to choose TV or movies -- TV would win hands down.  The writing in the television programing these days are exceptional especially the serial shows.  And now with cable channels offering their own original programming and big name actors and actresses valuing the steady work that a television series can provide -- the choices are seemingly endless.  

Now I am not a "real timer." By definition a real timer is someone who watches a television program when it is offered by the TV network not opting to watch it later on their DVR or online or even later in the year when released on DVD (my preferred method).  However, there are some programs that I am committing to watching during the course of season and here it is and I have had to restrain myself:

Mad Men Sunday 10pm AMC 

Dinner Impossible 10pm Food Network

Flash Forward 8pm ABC

30 Rock Thursday 9:30pm NBC

If I can fit these in great ... Lie To Me, The Office, Fringe

What will you be watching?  Let me know by commenting, Facebook Comment or Twitter

Lise,

I know the limitations of basic channels -- there are still some great shows on.

As far as Greens in San Francisco -- I have not heard of it. I will need to look it up the next time.

Hi Rod,

I haven't been on your blog for awhile and smiled through the San Fran food tour. I used to live there so your commentary and enthusiasm made me smile. The food is amazing! Have you ever been to Greens? It's vegetarian which I'm not but they have some real interesting food. There is also (or was) this garlic place called "The Stink'n Rose" that was wonderful.

Anyway - t.v. I'm currently super t.v. deprived not having anything other than basic cable (channels 0-11). Plus, my DVD hook up is askew at the moment and I can't seem to move on it and I have no DVR. So I'm reading A LOT but miss quality t.v. About the only good t.v. I'm getting in is football - which I can actually follow while semi-reading. But I agree with you that some of the t.v. series writing far exceeds what is happening on the big screen. I have much to catch up on once I somehow resolve my technical difficulties.
