Fall TV Viewing Schedule

All that said... here is my personal network TV fall viewing schedule, in case you are curious.

* denotes shows that I need a week or two to satisfy my curiosity / figure out if I'm going to put in the investment... including some returning shows that might get the boot
# denotes my "must watch night of airing" shows

MONDAY

8pm:
- How I Met Your Mother
- Chuck#

9pm:
- Lone Star#
- Gossip Girl
- The Event*#

10pm:
- Hawaii Five-0*

TUESDAY

8pm:
- Glee#
- No Ordinary Family

9pm:
- Life Unexpected
- Raising Hope*

9:30pm:
- Running Wilde*

10pm:
- The Good Wife

WEDNESDAY

8pm:
- America's Next Top Model* (necessary explanation: I haven't watched in several cycles, but the prospect of the winner being on the cover Italian Vogue should, hopefully mean the model contestants — and the competition — will all be of a higher quality... so, yeah, I'm curious)

9pm:
- Modern Family#

9:30pm:
- Cougar Town

THURSDAY

8pm:
- The Vampire Diaries#
- The Big Bang Theory
- Community (hulu)
- Bones (hulu)
- My Generation* (hulu)

8:30pm:
- 30 Rock#

9pm:
- Fringe#
- Nikita
- The Office (hulu)
- Grey's Anatomy* (we'll see if the show can recover from a bad season in the wake of its electrifying finale)

FRIDAY

9pm:
- Supernatural (would've been a # but Friday, so I've got the whole weekend)

SUNDAY

8pm:
- The Amazing Race#
- The Simpsons

9pm:
- Family Guy
- Desperate Housewives*

9:30pm:
- American Dad

10pm:
- Brothers & Sisters*

There are surely a number of cable conflicts (damn you, Project Runway, for having an entertaining season and potentially screwing up Thursdays at 9pm for me) and I'm sure that I'll have to chop off several shows as the season continues because, even now, I'm holding onto a few shows that I'm not really die-hard about any longer (cough, well-past-their-prime ABC soaps, cough).

As always, you have an interesting list of choices, travisyanan.

Here's my fall viewing choices, with a goodly mix of new series mixed in with favourites of seasons past. If I'm not available to watch tv, then my "Live" choices will trump my "DVR" selections:

Monday:
Live: 'Chuck', 'The Event', 'Castle'
DVR: 'HIMYM', 'Lone Star'

Tuesday:
Live: 'Glee', 'Raising Hope', 'Running Wilde', 'The Good Wife'
DVR: 'No Ordinary Family', 'Detroit 187'

Wednesday:
Live: 'Lie to Me', , 'Modern Family', 'Cougar Town', 'The Defenders'
DVR: 'Undercovers', 'The Whole Truth'

Thursday:
Live: 'The Big Bang Theory', '30 Rock', 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Private Practice'
DVR: 'The Vampire Diaries', 'Fringe'

Friday:
Live: 'Medium', 'Supernatural'
DVR: 'Human Target', 'The Good Guys'

Saturday:
Live: 'Lone Star' encore, 'Running Wilde' encore (if missed)
DVR: 'Saturday Night Live'

Sunday:
Live: '60 Minutes', 'The Simpsons', 'The Cleveland Show', 'Family Guy', 'American Dad', 'Brothers & Sisters'

Running ahead of the pack in terms of most anticipated fall series is the new FOX comedy 'Running Wilde', already having shown roughly an episode's worth of comedy in those jousting 30-second fall bumpers that have been playing all summer on FOX.

DuMont, we miss your presence on the PIF, especially its games.

The forum has been dull without you!
