Bless ya Stuntdouble!!My
Bless ya Stuntdouble!!
My friends consider me a walking TV guide but i've been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to do my tv research. Now, when they ask for the dirt on fall TV premieres, i won't spend an hour on google trying to look it all up.
THANK YOU!!!
p.s. I can't WAIT for Bones and 30 Rock--those are the two shows that make my heart sing
SON
SON
The-N.com has some new videos up under "Retrospective" and it say that the rest of SON will start October 10th!!!!
I'm glad to finally see a date.....
Oh and other shows I'm looking forward to:
One Tree Hill;Life;Chuck; Law & Orde: SVU
And of course South of Nowhere, even though it's not on the list...
OTH!
I was soooo looking forward to One Tree Hill... I just about rolled off the couch laughing when Nanny Carrie pulled a Kathy Bates (MISERY) on Dan!!!!
PS... Don't forget that 90210 airs TONIGHT... two hours on FOX! :)
¸.·´¯)It's true, we're all a little insane(¯`·.¸
Score.
Awesome.
I don’t actually watch much Fall TV, but the three shows I do watch are more than enough to keep me satiated.
Lena Headey, Mariska Hargitay and Tina Fey. What more could I want?
However, let me digress for a moment and declare my outrage that Dick Wolf didn’t take the chance at the end of the last SVU season to [SPOILER ALERT WHOA] bring Stephanie March back into the fold, instead deciding to bring in Michaela McManus. [NO MORE SPOILERS! :D]
RAAAAAAAAAAAGE
EDIT:
@Danielle: Wikipedia lists a tentative start date of October 3.

30 Rock, The Office, Gossip
30 Rock, The Office, Gossip Girl, Entourage..
Grey's Anatomy .. hmm (I'd only tune in to see how callica would unfold, other than that.. this show, like DHW is just starting to feel contrived in some ways)
?
Does anyone know if Women's Murder Club is returning this fall, or has ABC dropped it?
Unfortunately
I am so happy
My shows are returning soon. Can't wait for CSI, Desperate Housewives, and there are a couple of new shows this fall I am interested in watching as well. Oh and QUIK, I am sorry to say but Womens' Murder Club has been cancelled. Visit the message board at the following link:

liz lemon
has my heart.
can't wait for 30 rock!
30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy and
Tis all about 30 Rock,
Tis all about 30 Rock, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Brothers & Sisters, Californication, The Office, Gossip Girl, Bones, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, House, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, and Dirty, Sexy Money… only problem is finding the time to watch them all, and somehow watching multiple shows that are on at the same time…
Oh my
them Bones!
thanks for the list, I was wondering if Life would be back or not and yippie can't wait to see Bones 2 hour special season premier.
Last season I watched Dancing with the Stars because Marlee was on , this time, Misty May Treanor
Thanks a million
I can not wait to see Bones, Greys Anatomy and house. 30 rock seems so far away, but I'm looking foward to it the most.
Thanks a million for posting this. Very helpful in filling out my calander.
-Oh look, I'm in your community, joinin' in on stuff!-
Can't. Take. It.
All hail the boob tube
GG, Heroes, TSCC, House, Bones, Grey's, The Office...
I think I watch a little too much tv.
___//♫♪ let your girlfriend do what your boyfriend can't
Cant wait for SoN, Dexter,
I am more of a reality tv girl....
Why is everything on
Why is everything on Monday? So not fair!!! 10 shows that I like to watch all pretty much running optiset of each other. What the fuck where they thinking?
-Nathiest
the devil is in the details
Probably....
Heroes
Well, that means I have about a month to educate my friends with the second season DVDs.
Criminal Minds!
I'm so stoked for Criminal Minds to come back, even though I was impatient and already googled who got blown up. I also heard that the second episode is Prentiss-centric. Can't wait!
One show I'm so NOT looking forward to is CSI. It used to be such a great show, and they killed it. Without Jorja, there's just no reason to watch anymore.
"No way, no how, no McCain"- My girl Hill
I just wanted to say that
I'm looking forward to
I this may sound horrible but ...
Be Safe
My Dad lives in Kenner. As I told my Dad "keep your head above water and stay safe!" Are you going to stay or leave? I can't get in touch with my Dad to find out if he is staying or leaving. Be safe!
yeah..
My Dad left Sunday and
My Dad left Sunday and is staying near Brookehaven Ms. I hope Your Dad stays safe! Hopeful there will not be too much flooding.
Dads Back
My Dad is back home now and everything is ok. The only thing is the tree is down in the front yard. Is your family back home?
LOST
I have to have my Lost, CSI, and Heros!
question
hey
does anyone know when they air in the uk
I have to wait until January for some of my favorites.
I can't wait!
Cant wait
Yay! So much god tv to watch again and distract me from college. lol. Two of which start tomorrow and Bones of course on the 3rd. Greys Anatomy seems ages away tho
So....Enlighten Me
I shouldn't have called it "complete."
It includes every returning network show with a bisexual/lesbian character (Grey's Anatomy, Bones, House); every returning network show with an out actress (Sara Gilbert on The Big Bang Theory, Kirsten Vangsness on Criminal Minds); and the one network reality show that will feature a lesbian (America's Next Top Model).
There are four other out actresses whose shows will appear on network TV in the coming months. Saffron Burrows will appear on My Own Worst Enemy, but it is brand new and therefore didn't make the list for returning shows. Cherry Jones will be on 24, but it is not airing until the end of November. Portia de Rossi and Sarah Paulson will both join ABC shows, but they won't be airing until mid-season, either.
Tabatha Coffey's and Margaret Cho's cable reality shows have both been featured a couple of times here at AfterEllen, so please don't think we're excluding them.
Sorry I missed your two favorite programs. Looking up the start times and dates of 60+ shows is pretty exhausting, even if the list itself isn't exhaustive.
Thanks for the clarification, but...
Wouldn't Ellen DeGeneres's talk show qualify? I think that returns next week. I'm sure she's got interesting news about what she did over her summer vacation :)

Uhm... Criminal Minds, Life,
Big Love
I can't wait until Big Love, Eli Stone, Dexter, The Amazing Race, and the L Word comes back.
GREY'S!!
I cannot wait for Grey's Anatomy to come back!
Really looking forward to Dollhouse and Fringe, and House, Pushing Daisies, Lost, Gossip Girl, Chuck, Private Practice, and Despers returning (and probably a few moe shows!)
