2017 Fall TV Lineup!

The end of September is here, which means one thing: 
The fall television season is officially upon us!
This week is premiere week and I look forward to it every year!
 One of my favorite things about the Fall is the new Fall TV schedule comes out.
Shows have their season premiers and we find out what new shows are premiering.
No more re-runs.
We get to find out what happened in our favorite shows after months since the Season Finales!
I get so excited when they announce the new shows & the Fall TV Premiere dates...this week is when most of the new shows are premiering!
What I love to do at the end of the day is just sit down with a glass of wine & zone out in front of the TV.
How about you?
Get ready.....Let's talk TV and get your DVR ready!!!!! 

 
Monday:
Monday Night Football
I LOVE Monday Night Football!

Last year I tried out Kevin can Wait...I like Kevin James & it is pretty good. I will keep watching it this season.
It's about a  newly retired cop who is supporting his daughter & her fiance.

Of course, in January I will be watching The Bachelor. I am actually looking forward to Arie as The Bachelor, I really liked him on Emily's season!

New Shows on Mondays that I will check out:
9JKL
It's a family comedy inspired by a time in Mark Feuerstein’s adult life when he lived in apartment 9K in the building he grew up in, sandwiched between his parents’ apartment, 9J, and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby’s apartment, 9L, and his attempts to set boundaries with his intrusive but well-meaning family.

  I play on a co-ed indoor soccer team on Monday nights, so anything I want to watch on Monday goes on the DVR. Plus, we have Monday Night Football to watch!

Tuesday:

3 words.... THIS IS US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I had such high hopes for this show last year and it did not disappoint.
It exceeded by expectations &  is even better than I thought it would be. 
I watched the series premiere THREE times last September.
Once by myself, then I had my sister come over the next day to watch it & then I watched it with Kevin. 
Hands down, my favorite show I have seen in the past few years. 
If you haven't seen it, start watching the first season and DVR the 2nd season (it starts tomorrow night)

I also watch New Girl on Tuesdays.

 This year will be it's last season, but they haven't said when it will premier, I am thinking it will be in January since I think they are only doing 13 episodes. It will also be 3 years in the future from where we left off in Season 6.

There aren't any new shows on Tuesdays that I am interested in watching.

Wednesday:
We love The Goldbergs! 


Last year I started watching The Good Place because my friend Darcy from High School is in the show...she plays Janet! I am so proud of her & the shows success!
The Good Place was on Thursdays last season, but now it's on Wednesdays.
Season 1 is on Netflix, so you can catch up if you haven't seen it.


Thursdays:
Thursday night  is PACKED with AMAZING shows!!
TGIT is for real!
2 years ago, I started watching Grey's Anatomy on Netfllx for the first time ever. (Several of you also recommended Grey's to me....Thank you!!!!) 
I was caught up by last season and can't wait for this season to start!

We started watching How to get away with Murder 2 years ago. 
We liked Season 1. Season 2 & Season 3 were okay, but I am committed to watching Season 4.
2 years ago,  based on recommendations from many of you, we started watching Scandal.
This is the last season of Scandal!

New Shows I am watching on Thursdays:
Going to add Will & Grace to my DVR. 
The original series is on Netflix now, so I might watch those and then start watching the new ones!

Friday:
 Friday is for catching up on all the shows we have on our DVR (or Netflix)
I also love 20/20 and Dateline...if they aren't too creepy of topics!

Saturday:
College Football
SNL
Or, Saturday nights we go on a Date Night or hang out with family/friends/neighbors, watch a movie, etc.

Sunday:
Sunday Night Football (we love Football in our house!)
I have been totally into watching Shark Tank on Friday nights for the past few years year, but this year they are moving it to Sunday nights!

 I love that show! I love seeing people's new ideas.

And, I must confess, I have totally gone online and bought things from people after seeing them on Shark Tank!
Here are new shows that I am going to watch that don't have an exact premiere date set yet and some of them are premiering midseason.

AP Bio:
It's about a hilarious & cynical Ivy League professor loses out on his dream job and goes to work as a high school biology teacher where he imposes his unorthodox teaching style and uses the kids to plot out revenge on those who wronged him.  

For the People:
 Set in the Southern District of New York Federal Court, known as the "Mother Court," the drama follows attorneys for the prosecution and defense "as they handle the most high profile and high stakes case in the country, all as their personal lives intersect. 

Good Girls:
Three "good girl" suburban wives and mothers suddenly find themselves in desperate circumstances and decide to stop playing it safe and risk everything to take their power back.  Mae Whitman (who was in Parenthood) is one of the main characters!

Life Sentence: 
When a young woman is diagnosed with terminal cancer finds out that she's not dying after all, she has to learn to live with the choices she made when she decided to "live like she was dying." 

Rise:
Based on the book Drama High  and the life of drama teacher Lou Volpe, the series revolves around a high school drama teacher and family man whose passion for the program and his students galvanizes the entire working class town. 

Splitting Up Together:
The story of a couple whose marriage is reignited by their divorce. Oliver Hudson is in this show and I liked him in Rules of Engagement, so I am excited that he is on a new sitcom.


This post makes me sound like a TV junkie.....because I am!!!

We mostly just DVR everything and watch it on Friday nights. We are SO exciting. Ha!
And, as the months go on, we cut out shows that we don't like or they just stay un watched on the DVR in what I call "DVR Suburgatory" and then I delete them or just start watching new shows on Netflix.

  1. Thank you SOO much for this post...I'm a TV junkie too!!!! I am also EXTREMELY excited for This Is Us as well as How to get Away with Murder. My other shows I love are: the Chicago series (Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, etc); Law & Order: SVU and I'm intrigued by the new series coming out about the Menedez brothers; My husband & I started watching Kevin Can Wait last season, but need to finish watching it ;); my daughter & I watch Dancing with the Stars together. I'm sure I'm missing some shows, but those are all my favorites for sure :)

  3. Such a fun post! I'm excited for the shows to come back on, though I know I watch too many! I LOVE The Blacklist. James Spader is amazing. I also watched all three NCIS series' - they are terrific. And I agree, This is Us was wonderful and I am hoping season two is just as good. My hubby and I also watch Chicago Med - I wish we had started the other Chicago series shows too - and The Big Bang Theory. Can't decide about "Young Sheldon" just yet.

    I would love to watch both Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder but so far I have resisted Netflix. LOL

  7. Great round up Mel!!! Can't wait for THIS IS US tonight...FINALLY!!! I hadn't heard about that 9JKL but we'll have to check it out. We loved Royal Pains. We watch Kevin Can Wait too. It'll be interesting to see how it is now that they've replaced the wife. That's so cool that "Janet" is your friend from high school. We also watch that show. I started Scandal on Netflix in August and I'm up to the end of season 4. We are ready for The Crown to come back too and of course our Friday night favs of Hawaii 5-0 and Blue Bloods. Happy Tuesday!

  12. If you would like an alternative to casually approaching girls and trying to figure out the right thing to say...

    If you'd rather have women pick YOU, instead of spending your nights prowling around in crowded pubs and nightclubs...

    Then I urge you to watch this eye-opening video to discover a strong secret that has the potential to get you your very own harem of beautiful women:
