Yesterday, the Fall TV season started, and I was not prepared at all.  It just didn’t seem right that new shows are up and running, when I have had barely any time to recover from all of the summer TV!

Since I was out of commission yesterday with family picnics, I want to cover Monday and Tuesday in one fell swoop.  Here’s what’s on my schedule for this new season. 

MONDAY:

Mondays are a crazy night for me – it’s “TV night with Dad” at my parents’ house, so I trek over there to watch PRISON BREAK and SARAH CONNOR live.  Depending on my mood and my Fantasy Teevee schedule, I watch CBS’ first hour or NBC’s first hour.  Everything else gets put on the DVR for later or skipped all together.  I’m sorry to the TWO AND A HALF MEN, BOSTON LEGAL, and CSI: MIAMI fans.  I just can’t do it – can’t watch them!  And WORST WEEK was my least favorite pilot.  I can’t put my finger on it, just something off…

Follow the jump for TUESDAYS!

TUESDAY:

Tuesdays used to be my busy night, but it looks like I’ll be okay this year.  Definitely watching FRINGE and HOUSE live.  Loved the pilot of FRINGE, so I can’t wait to see more episodes!  I’m definitely looking forward to Simon Baker in THE MENTALIST.  The pilot was intriguing and fast paced and smart.  I cannot wait to see what they do with the rest of the season.  I’m watching 90210 out of curiosity, and I will definitely be checking out PRIVILEGED because (and I keep repeating myself here), I think it’s going to be a surprise hit for The CW.  Tuesdays at 10 are suddenly the place to be with 4 fantastic shows all competing for my love.  ELI STONE takes the cake – I’ll be watching him and his merry gang live.  WITHOUT A TRACE, SVU, and THE SHIELD will all be “watch them when I can get to them on the DVR”.  I love JD Roth but don’t see the need to watch his latest show (OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS), I don’t watch NCIS (though I’m considering changing the color for it to orange after a recommendation from a good friend) or THE BIGGEST LOSER.  And I can find out who got kicked off of DWTS the next morning all over the internet.

Tune in tomorrow for my Wednesday breakdown.
