Ah....The Fall

I'm not sure where to start with all of the excitment of the new fall season. I think I get excited about new Fall TV the way I used to get excited to wear my new outfit on the first day of school. There was a teaser last week with The OC and the new show Reunion starting.

The OC
- Great Teen Angst. I love that I can get my fill of 90210, Dawson's Creek and Melrose Place all in one show. Who doesn't love drugs, sex, rock and roll, mixed with some great drama and teen angst? This season started off with Ryan getting blamed, once again, for something he didn't do because of his "reputation", Marissa not getting blamed for something she did do because of her mother's "reputation", and Summer and Cohen bantering back and forth as usual. And from a marketing stand point, I'd love to know how much $ is being tossed around each time Cohen mentions a brand, movie, etc. Great placement! Looking forward to another drama-filled season.

Reunion
- Great new plot. You have to love a show that opens with a funeral. Definitely not what I expected from this show after reading about it, but, it's even better. This one has drama and angst all wrapped up with mystery and suspense. You don't know who's funeral it is, of course, and it could take a couple seasons to figure it out. It all starts out with Detective Marjorino at the funeral where he asks Carla some "questions" since she was the last person to see the deceased alive. She is one of the friends in their group of 6 best friends. She then starts from the beginning, 1986. You can read the recap here. But so far this show has everything. Friends sleeping with best friend's girlfriends, pregnancy, one friend liking another friend that is totally in love with another friend, rich friend with a poor best friend that ends up going to jail in the rich kid's place because their plan backfired, etc. I'll definitely be able to tell within 3 shows if this show will last or not. So tune in and stay tuned.

So now I'll briefly discuss this week's show. This is the true first week of the Fall season. Woo hoo! I"ll be recapping with my thoughts after I watch everything.

Gilmore Girls
- As season 5 starts, will Luke answer Lorelai's propsal with a "Yes!"? Will Rory continue down the completely normal path of a college co-ed? Will the completely useless character of Michel ever shut up? Ooooo, the suspense.

Supernatural
- I can only hope this new drama turns into another Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel. Can't wait to give my thoughts on this one. Here is rundown of the show. Those WB folks are like a close family I suppose. This show snagged Jared Padalecki from Gilmore Girls and Jensen Ackles from Smallville. This could be goooood!

Ok, so that wasn't as many new shows as I thought this week. But then again, I'll have to do an entirely seperate post on the reality shows I watch. Oh yes...it doesn't stop with comedy and drama. But this week I'll enjoy my 4 shows on top of the new Martha show I'll be watching. Throw a little Biggest Loser, So You Think You Can Dance and Big Brother 6 in there and call it a great premier week. Tonight is actually an "off"night with shows, so I'll finish up season 2 of Entourage and prepare for the week.
