Fall TV 2011: Sunday

Below are the shows I'll be trying this fall. I'll be watching everything on DVR since I work nights but I will post by day. I'll also be including shows that Nessa showed interest in or I thought she would like. I lucked out because there aren't any conflicts this year except for Thursdays which I'll get to later this week.

Amazing Race

 One of my reality staples. Not my favorite reality show but it is entertaining none the less. 

The Walking Dead

I'm a huge fan of zombie pop culture and loved the first six episodes of The Walking Dead. I didn't think six episodes were enough and look forward to the shows return this October. 

Once Upon a Time

The only knew show I'm trying on Sundays. Sundays were never a big night for me but the concept on this show intrigues me. 

From abc.com

From the inventive minds of Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis comes a bold new imagining of the world, where fairy tales and the modern-day are about to collide.

And they all lived happily ever after – or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Of course Emma doesn't believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close… where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, but for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell. 

The concept is interesting and if delivered well could be a great show if people give it a chance. The only thing I worry about is I watch it, love it, and then it is cancelled after a few episodes. 

The Simpsons

This one is for Nessa but I'll usually give it a try if she says it is really funny. Sadly doesn't happen often any more.

 

Family Guy

Not as good as it use to be but still good for a few laughs
