Fall Season 09 Line-Up

A friend asked me the other day what I was watching this Fall. I had not yet mapped out my viewing schedule. Actually, I have stopped watching on a schedule much since I now have FiOS with its excellent on demand services. I decided I should figure out my schedule so as not to miss my favs and the exciting new shows coming. Here is my Fall 2009 Line-Up:

I think in total it is 37 hours of watching if it all makes the cut. I am trying out 14 new shows (marked with *). A breakdown by network leaves ABC Clearly in the lead:

ABC - 11, ABC Family - 1, AMC - 1, Bravo - 1, CBS - 9, CW - 6, Lifetime - 1, NBC - 1, USA - 1

I am most excited about the new show "Glee". The premiere was even better than I had hoped. I am a trained singer and was thrilled that the singers were legit and the arrangements were fantastic. Jane Lynch has always been a comedy genius, and I am so glad that her talents are used to enhance this show rather than try to salvage it. If you haven't seen it yet what are you waiting for?!?!?! Check it out at Fancast. The returning show I am most excited for is very surprising to me. Based on one of the best season finale cliffhangers I have ever seen, Private Practice takes the honor this year.

What are you most excited about?
