Thursday Thirteen!

By Cam

It’s that time of year again. Summer’s over, the kiddies are back in school, the leaves are starting to turn a little less green and a little more crispy. We’re heading out of Summer and right into Fall. And what comes with the change in season? New episodes of your favorite shows and some much anticipated premieres.
Here are my top thirteen must-see shows:

1. So You Think You Can Dance – love, love, LOVE this show! It’s normally on during the summer, but new this year is a fall season that’s sure to have the twists, turns, and grande jetes we all know and love.
2. Vampire Diaries – This series is based on the books by LJ Smith and premiering on the CW tonight at 8pm. Joining the fangtabulous company of Edward/Bella/Jacob, Sookie/Bill/Eric, will be the Stefan/Elena/Damon threesome. Uh, hello? Hot boys, pointy fangs, Ian Somerhalder? What’s not to love?
3. Glee – They showed the pilot episode in May. Although really that seems like a century ago. So this Fall, people who already fell in love with the lovable glee club misfits will be chomping at the bit to see what shenanigans they run into next.
4. Fringe – X-Files meets Bones meets Lost. This show has it all. Super cool sci-fi mysteries, super hot FBI agents, super wacky Dr. Bishop (played by the uber talented John Noble) and oh-so-lovable Joshua Jackson – whose boyish charm still makes me go ‘Ahhhh’.
5. The Biggest Loser – I just got into this show two seasons ago. But something about the ugly duckling transformation through the blood, sweat, and tears of people who really want to make themselves healthy, never fails to bring a ‘Thatta girl!’ out of me.
6. Bones – David Boreanaz. ‘Nuf said. (And that Emily girl ain’t half-bad either.)
7. Criminal Minds – Who’s hiding in Hotch’s apartment? Is he about to be kidnapped? Maimed? Killed? Eek. Ike. Must. Wait. Until. 9/23.
8. Dancing With the Stars – I really just want to see Tom Delay in sequins.
9. Grey’s Anatomy – Meredith and Derek…married? Surely there’s going to be a few monkey wrenches for the newleyweds. George…dead? Izzie…alive? Let’s see how long it takes Alex to bolt for the door.
10. Flash Forward – This is a new show with a super cool premise. Everyone passes out at exactly the same time and see a glimpse of their future. I’m hoping the pilot is as good as the commercials make it look. Plus Joseph Fiennes is starring in this series and he is fiiiiinne.
11. Dollhouse – Joss Whedon. Yeah.
12. Eastwick – I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the show doesn’t butcher the greatness that is the Witches of Eastwick. Plus I love me some Lindsey Price.
13. FOOTBALL – Ok, my house goes a little nuts when it’s football season. When I was in labor with my daughter, I didn’t want to go to the hospital until the game was over (Cowboys vs. Eagles). It’s not just a sport. It’s a way of life.

So tell me…what shows are you dying to see this Fall?
