The Fall TV season starts with a vengeance tonight, pairing Nicholas Brendon (Xander!) against Alyson Hannigan (Willow!) in Kitchen Confidential and How I Met Your Mother..., both airing at 8:30/7:30 Central, on Fox and CBS, respectively. Did I mention KC features Bradley Cooper (Will Tippin!) and James Francis Daley (Sam Weir!) while HIMYM includes Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie!) and Jason Segel (Nick Andopolis!). It's the battle of Buffy and Freaks and Geeks alums, my friends. Thank goodness we have two VCRs and a Ti-faux.
Every year, I anxiously await my Fall TV Preview from Entertainment Weekly so I can plot my TV-watching grid. Very important to my yearly outlook. I usually try to keep my TV-watching at status quo (that is, not adding any NEW shows to the roster until old shows are either abandoned by me personally or cancelled). But this year presents a challenge, and the best I can hope for is that some of the new shows that intrigue me really, really suck.
So, my tentative TV-viewing schedule, as I now see it:
Monday: How I Met Your Mother (CBS), Kitchen Confidential (FOX)
Tuesday: Boston Legal (ABC), Bones (FOX), Nip/Tuck (fX), My Name is Earl (NBC), The Office (NBC)
Wednesday: Veronica Mars (UPN), Lost (ABC)
Thursday: The O.C. (FOX), Reunion (FOX), Everwood (WB), Alias (ABC), Survivior (CBS), CSI (CBS)
Friday: FREE!!
Saturday: FREE!!
Sunday: Desperate Housewives (ABC), Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
Mid-season: Scrubs (NBC), 24 (FOX) , American Idol (FOX)
Key:
Green: In danger of being dropped
Italics: On probation until additional (or any) episodes are seen
So basically on Thursday? I'm FUBAR'd. Why did Everwood and Alias BOTH shift to Thursdays? It's a heavy-handed plot against me personally, and the other 17 people in the country who watch both of these shows AND The O.C..
And as I try to keep SOME semblance of a life going, I imagine lots of these will be zipped through, on tape, in the late-afternoon while I treadmill/cook/clean. Updates/thoughts/reviews throughout the season. I'm looking foward to it!
