My Fall Hulu Queue

Fall's arrival may mean that True Blood is over, but it also means that network television is back with new seasons. Here's what I'll most likely be watching. (Click here for the unabridged fall television TV Guide listings.)

Shows that I may feel compelled to write about:

- Mad Men, obviously. There are still 4 more episodes in the season!

- Gossip Girl. Yes, I realize that I'm not 14. But a small part of my soul always will be. This show is wildly entertaining, soapy as hell, very funny, and the fashion is incredible. So whatever, judge me all you want. I love this show. I probably won't write much about it, though, because the Vulture recap says it all, and then some. Highly recommended reading.

- Glee. Another one for the 14 year old girl category. Overproduced a cappella renditions of classic and modern pop songs? Not one, but two will they? won't they?'s? Jane Lynch? Yes, please. I think the second half of last season dragged a little, but they did do an entire Gaga episode.

- Modern Family. I watched this at the recommendation of a friend about halfway through the season last year and was immediately hooked. This show is insanely funny.

- The NBC Thursday night comedy block: Community - 30 Rock - The Office - Outsourced. See my previous post about Community -- I think it's one of the best shows on television right now, along with 30 Rock. And my expectations are high for Steve Carrell's last season of The Office, which is definitely one of my all time favorites. I'm sure I'll watch Outsourced, too, because why not? I haven't heard anything about it one way or the other yet. And I'm looking forward to Parks & Rec when it's back on in January. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett just need to stop popping out children.

- SNL. The cast is shaping up this season and Jon Hamm is already slated to host again! I'm the kind of SNL fan who likes the show even when everyone else thinks it's bad.

Other shows that won't need recapping:

- House. I love Hugh Laurie, bottom line. This will be an interesting season with House and Cuddy together.

- Bones. I can't help it.

- Stewart & Colbert occasionally, though I rarely watch them anymore since they left Hulu last year.

New shows that I'll check out on a rainy day:

- The Event. I need a new Lost, and so does America.

- The new Will Arnett show on Fox. I have a bad feeling about this already.

Now, the question remains whether I'll physically be able to watch this much TV-- my old 4 day/week work schedule left my Friday mornings generally pretty open for catching up on the Thursday night shows, in particular. There's also the new season of Weeds, but those episodes are so short and so addicting that I usually cruise through an entire season in less than 24 hours when it's all over.
