It looks like the fall shows are starting up as of this coming Sunday. Thought I'd go through a rundown here of the TV shows we'll be watching at Chez Howley and the dates on which each starts.
First up, we've got Dexter, which starts up this coming Sunday the 16th. It's the only show that starts before September, but given that it used to be a summer program, it's way late rather than a little early.
Dexter's third season wasn't as mind-blowing as the first two, but I really liked it. It really hooks you. Dexter is without doubt one of my most looked-forward-to shows.
Fringe is probably my number one show right now. I hadn't expected much from it before we started watching, but Walter Bishop is one of my favorite television characters ever, and the plot has gotten decidedly more sci-fi as it's progressed. Leonard Nimoy's appearance in the season one finale was truly excellent as well. I cannot wait for season two, which starts on Thursday September 17th.
The very next day, Friday the 18, is the season premiere of Dollhouse. I was never a big Firefly fan, and I never even watched Buffy, but Dollhouse has totally got me. I love the show. I'm hoping that it changes as much from season to season as The 4400 did.
Monday the 21st brings us a new season of House. If you watch the show, you'll know that House ended up last season in an insane asylum because he was having hallucinations of his best friend's dead girlfriend. How wonky is that? It'll be interesting to see where this one goes.
Thursday the 24th is when we'll first get a look at the new show Flash Forward. Hard to say, but I'm really hoping that this one's good. I've got the novel on which the series is based sitting on my to-read shelf. If the show turns out to stink, maybe the novel will be good.
CSI starts on the same day as Flash Forward, but I don't watch CSI. I only mention it because Linda watches CSI. Hey Linda! Your show is on!
Lastly, the new V remake will be starting on November third. I've got high hopes for this one. My fingers are crossed.
