Hit Fall TV Shows

The leaves on the trees are changing colors. It's starting to get colder out. School is getting busier and busier. But are you more excited to watch your new shows then Halloween coming up? Or putting on your new fall sweater? If so, don't feel guilty. Many people look forward to fall JUST for the new shows.
With the past few weeks being huge series premiers, there is almost too much to watch. I'll highlight a few of the shows that I've personally seen, give input on the premiers, and (gasp) good shows that are at the same time slot. What to do??
I'll start of with a favorite of many, Grey's Anatomy. Can the show do well without two of its main characters, Addison and Burke? As we know, Isiah Washington's character is no longer on the show due to the actor's problems. Need more information? Just search his name on google. Addison's new show, Private Practice, is guaranteed to garner many viewerds. But will Grey's be the same? After the first episode, I found myself missing Addison on the show. After vocalizing my beliefs to the other 6 girls in the room, we came to a consensus that she should come back to Grey's. I don't think its going to happen, but there's hope, right? The premier episode began with the main characters recieving their own interns. George, unfortunately, it an intern again and it will be interesting to see how he makes it through the year. IF he makes it through the year. IF his marriage stays intact. Who knows now, after he told Izzy he loved her back! Speaking of love, who knows what is going on with McDreamy and Meredith. Personally, I think he is too good for her. She has too many issues to be in a relationship..and are they broken up now, and seeing each other casually? I guess we will see. Can't wait to see what happens next week!

Rating: 4 Busch Lights out of Five. I miss Addison!

With the OC being dead, is there room for another teen drama? The CW seems to think so, as they hired Josh Schwartz to produce the new drama Gossip Girl. It takes place in the Upper East Side of NYC, and focuses on the "poor little rich kids" and their dramas. Based on the book by Cecily von Ziegesar, I think this show it sure to be a hit. Personally, I have read some of the books when I was younger, so I am familiar with the backstory. I knew I had to check out the TV show. I think the casting is superb, the actors are similar to how they are described in the book. The show's intoxicating and addictive plot line will sure to keep viewers coming back for more every week.
Rating: 3 Busch Lights of of Five. Interesting, but I think it will fizzle out in the next year or two. Look at what happened to the OC!
