Fall 2010 Television Season is Here!

It's September! Do you know what that means? Summer's over so say goodbye to sticky weather and more importantly, filler TV, because the fall TV season is upon us!

Can you tell how excited I am?

I'm looking forward to the return of some of my good 'ole favorites. These are the shows that I pine for, wait in nervous anticipation for, and count down the days from last season's season finale to this season's fall premiere. This includes: House, Dexter, The Amazing Race, Fringe, Modern Family, Glee, The Vampire Diaries (this is my total guilty pleasure, except I don't really feel all that guilty, especially since Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley are often shirtless.) and The Office. I would be excited over Parks & Recreation, but I'm still harboring rage over NBC for placing them as a midseason replacement. This was announced at upfronts in May and I'm STILL fuming. How can they go and do that to my Amy Poehler? Are the execs even watching the show? They must not be, because if they saw even one episode from last season, they would have never put Parks & Rec in the backseat. Hopefully when newly premiering shows start dropping like flies later on this season they can bring Parks & Rec back earlier than planned.

With each fall television season there is a whole batch of newcomers. The ones I'm eager to see? Nikita, ($&! My Dad Says, Running Wilde, Raising Hope, and The Event (Smart marketing ploy by NBC, intentionally making the previews vague. I have a feeling this will turn into a Flash Forward situation, though. Interesting concept, poor execution.)
