The new Fall TV season is upon us. Are there any shows you are excited about?

I seem to watch less and less TV every year. Every Fall we pick a few new shows to record and check out and usually be the second episode we are deleting them. Normally we don't even make it halfway through the first episode. The only show that we stuck with last year was The Blacklist.

The Good Wife started last night and that is one of my favorite shows. It's recorded and we'll watch it one night this week.

Nothing really. I probably won't watch any of the new shows as nothing about them interests me.

I am looking forward to the new season of Sleepy Hollow. I'll watch Supernatural when it comes back, but I'm not real excited about that anymore; at this point, it's just that I've stuck with it this long so I hate to bail now. That's pretty much it. I have tv on for background now more than anything. I don't really watch much of it at all anymore. Unless you count the "oldies but goodies" on METV. Usually when I have tv on for background, it's on METV now.

This coming Saturday night is the mid-season finale of Outlander until sometime in 2015. I'm really going to miss the show when it ends.

I am also hooked on The Blacklist since I've always been a James Spader fan.  I also never miss Scandal.  As far as comedies which I'm not really a big fan of, I do watch Big Bang Theory.  I also love Pitbulls and Paroles

Since this is my first Fall series with a DVR, I will probably be recording some shows also.  Now I don't have to worry about seeing shows that are on at the same time, I just record them...I'm happy


Also my baseball team is going into the post season so I'll be watching that while not having to miss a favorite program.

NCIS starts tomorrow, and the new NCIS: New Orleans. I just love Scott Bakula, ever since being hooked on Quantum Leap when I was 10, so I hope it's good. I haven't looked up the new schedules yet but I also like Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods, Bones. . .oh, pretty much all the crime/police shows.

The sitcoms are just getting stupider and stupider every year. I like The Big Bang Theory (pretty much the only sitcom I like) but I don't know if it'll end up getting too stupid like most of them :/.

...with the cats...
oh, this is great news!

i stream using a roku, so the shows that are available to me through hulu are somewhat limited as far as primetime tv shows, but i usually watch a lot of bbc shows as well as quite a variety of shows from some other countries.

i've been waiting for the fall tv season to start. i follow bones and castle, and saw their season finale episodes so am looking forward to getting some answers as to what's going on. i also enjoy watching the blacklist. i have sometimes watched blue bloods too. i love crime dramas/police investigation shows, but enjoy other types of tv shows too.

over the summer i was able to watch the movie version of stieg larsson's dragon tattoo series (the millennium trilogy). those were great movies! kept my interest and had me on the edge of my seat watching them. i spread the three movies out over about 3 weeks or so, so i'd be able to enjoy them for longer and could look forward to watching each movie. another tv show that i spread out like that was the bbc show whitechapel. i watched all available episodes, seasons 1 through 3, over a longer period of time so i could savor each one individually.

I don't watch a lot of tv, but I have two "must see" shows:   The Big Bang Theory and Once Upon a Time. 

Summer time, my guilty pleasure is Big Brother.

Gotham starts tonight! I have been anticipating this new series for weeks. Its like Bruce Wayne's back story and the detectives trying to find out who killed his parents.

Also a lot of my regular shows are starting up again. NCIS, NCIS: LA, The Voice, Top Gear USA. As well as Pit Bulls and Parolees starts at the beginning of October.

Not to mention the new "NCIS New Orleans" they are starting as well.

Lots to watch!

Did not pay much attention to the new lineup.  Figured with baby coming soon I won't be following anything this year:p

I LOVE METV and also Hallmark. I am so bad at remembering times so I just browse when I turn tv on.

Only looking forward to Once Upon a Time, which starts on Sunday. 

The Voice starts tonight, and I'll probably watch that.

Otherwise - haven't seen anything that I care about.  We are thinking about cancelling cable (but I won't be able to get ABC anymore, sigh)

I watched more TV when my daughter was a baby because I was constantly sitting there feeding her. 

None of the new shows look good this year. I'm looking forward to The Walking Dead, but that isn't for a few weeks yet.

This is going to sound strange, but I mostly watch news, and Univision. Yes, Univision, the Spanish-language station.

I started watching telenovelas (Spanish version of soaps operas) to help my Spanish comprehension, but stayed because these shows are so entertaining! They get you hooked. And fortunately, unlike American soaps, they end, usually within a year. They have a lot of absurd plot twists, but that's part of the fun. And a lot of the actors are top-notch.

I rarely watch American TV anymore. It's not because I don't like it, but who has time? The telenovelas fill my TV-watching schedule and there's no room for anything else.

It looks like Thursday night will once again be the only time I watch anything other than news - Criminal Minds and Crossing Lines are on back to back. The dubbed German versions aren't as good as the originals, though. The voices/accents just aren't right.

oh Canada~
The only current show I still watch is Criminal Minds, but I don't have a TV or cable or Netflix (and places like Hulu don't like Canada) so I have to be resigned to streaming it online the following day. Either that or missing a few weeks in a row and just binge watching on a day off.

There is not one new show that I'm excited about.

I'll stick to Mad Men, Modern Family and the Middle.

When I was a kid we would watch tv all the time and it was free. Now the cable bill goes up every year and the shows are garbage. So I don't even have tv hooked up. Now my time is spent on the computer or listening to my sports teams on the radio.
