Comment on the newest fall tv shows......

So I'm currently in Florida visiting my parents. You'd think that being on vacation during the fall season premiere week I would miss out on catching the latest shows. Well, you would be right on the money if I hadn't gotten sick my 2nd day here. While my bro, SIL and mother were gallivanting around Orlando enjoying all the attractions this area has to offer, I was home on the couch up to my ears in kleenexes and cough drops knee deep in a Rachel Zoe marathon on Bravo. Once that got over I turned to On Demand where I was able to catch new shows that I hadn't originally planned on viewing. Unfortuantely this has resulted in finding new shows to add to my repertoire. I thought I'd review these shows here just in case you were on the fence:

Monday Nights:



Hawaii Five-0, CBS 9pm



Hawaii Five-0 with Alex O'Loughlin, Scott Caan and Daniel Dae Kim. I was looking forward to this one early on and it did not disappoint. If you miss gazing at hot dudes in Hawaii on Lost, you'll enjoy this show.






The Event, NBC 8pm



The Event with Jason Ritter (son of John Ritter) and Blair Underwood along with Dr. Weaver from ER. I hadn't planned on watching this but I'm kind of sucked in. It's got that whole Lost flash-forwards/backwards things. Plus, it's got a small role played by Luke from Gilmore Girls-what a surprise! I'll definitely keep this one on tap.



Chase NBC 9pm

Chase starring people I've never heard of before except for Jesse Metcalfe (hot lawn boy from Desperate Housewives) who plays a newly hired Texas Ranger. Hence, this show is about Texas Rangers, but is much better than it's TR predecessor, Walker, Texas Ranger. Also, it's produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, so you know it's gotta be good. I'm looking forward to enjoying this one.



Tuesday Nights:


Running Wilde, Fox 8:30pm

 

Running Wilde with Will Arnett and Keri Russell. That right there should clinche it for you. Also it's brought to us by some of the same people behind Arrested Development. We found it to be a little slow in the beginning but it started gaining momentum. I want it to work but I'm nervous for it. No matter what, I'll be tuning in.

Wednesday Nights:


Undercover, NBC 7pm



Undercovers starring more people I don't recognize. I wanted to like this show, but I kept comparing it to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I loved that movie, the chemistry between Brad and Angie jumped off the screen (as much as I hate to admit that-I'm Team Aniston all the way) . Unfortunately, despite my love for JJ Abrams, I didn't feel chemistry between these characters and actually fell asleep towards the end of the show. Sad.



Hellcats, CW 8pm


Hellcats with Ashley Tisdale started a week before everything else (or maybe 2?) so I watched it and actually didn't mind it-it could be a guilty pleasure. Bring It On is one of my all-time fave movies. But now that I have so many other shows that I plan on watching this one could easily fall into the category of "if nothing else is on".






The Defenders, CBS 9pm



The Defenders with Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi. Another show I didn't plan on watching but ended up seeing it whilst on the couch. It actually wasn't too bad and is one I would throw into the "if I'm around and nothing else is on" group.  



So that's about it for what I've seen. Two shows that I have yet to preview are Nikita and My Generation. They're waiting for me on my dvr. As for my regular shows-I don't even want to get into that. Holy cow. It's a great tv season!

Happy watching!
