It’s almost the end of September, so you know that I just have to ask: Any new TV shows you’re dying to watch this season?
The beginning of the new TV season is my favorite time of year. Some people look forward to the fall because of football and tailgating. I count down the days until my TV has pretty new, moving pictures for my viewing pleasure. I’ll tell you, it’s a looooong time between May and September, during that time of TV drought when all you can really do is console yourself with some fun episodes of Family Feud or the occasional Hallmark tear-jerker. I can even feel the sadness radiating from my DVR — it gets downright lonely!
Well, NO MORE!!! This week marks the return of lots of my favorites, like Criminal Minds, This Is Us and Grey’s Anatomy. But every year, a new crop of shows vie for the top spot on our Must-Watch List. Here are three new shows I’m excited about…
Young Sheldon: After a decade of falling in love with Dr. Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, we finally get the prequel that may answer the question: What was Sheldon like growing up? We’ll get to see young “Shelly” at nine years old entering the big, bad world of high school in all his know-it-all glory. We’ll get to see his Bible-loving mom. I, for one, am pumped! #Bazinga
Me, Myself & I: Have I mentioned lately just how much I *love* Bobby Moynihan? Because I do. A lot. Moynihan stars as the 40-year-old version of Alex Riley, who we also get to know in vignettes of the character’s life at 14 and at 65. The show will span 50 years, and I’m such a sucker for shows that span decades like this! Plus, Moynihan is hilarious, and you can never go wrong with laughter, so…
The Good Doctor: Ahhh, yessss!!! You know I need lots of good medical dramas in my life, and this one looks amazing! It follows Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism who goes to work at a prestigious hospital. The show already scored an 8.5 on IMDb, so I’d like to go on record now as saying this show will be the next House!
Are you a huge TV fan, friends? What shows — both new and returning — are you most excited about? Any old favorites you’ve been binge-watching lately? Because, you know a classic is always, well, a classic choice!! Happy TV time to you!!!! xoxo
P.S. More TV must-sees…

Weirdly, I haven’t seen previews for ANY new shows this year. I figure I’ll see a couple that strike my fancy on Hulu, once there’s an episode or two out, & go from there. SO excited to watch last night’s Criminal Minds today.

I have a love/hate thing for new shows! I literally had a full week and it’s already annoying me! However, I have enjoyed The Good Doctor, The Brave, SEALS Team so far! Very happy that Designated Survivor is back! Still looking forward to Inhumans despite what everybody says! 🙂
