Season Premiere Dates

Wow, so everybody who knows me knows how much I like my television. Okay, when they see this they may realize they had no clue just HOW MUCH I like it! :D

I got started looking up when some of my favorite shoes are coming back and then realized I'm glad that some other shows are ending just in time! Woof!

THU, Sep 10
Vampire Diaries - new show. Don't know much about it but it has vampires in it... Good enough reason for me to give it a try. Okay, apparently a good vampire and a bad vampire, brothers, want the same (human) girl. There.

Supernatural - been watching this one since season 1 and love it! Apparently the show was planned to have 5 seasons so even though I wouldn't mind it running longer than that I hope they won't sell out to make it so. In any case, this should promise to be another great season with sibling banter and rock music!

Joining the THU lineup a week later, Sep 17
Bones - the last season's finale disappointed me greatly. PLEASE! Amnesia?? That's been done to DEATH! Are we in the 80s? Aaanyway, loved the show up to that point so I'll sure as hell tune in again.

Fringe - only just discovered this one, am catching up and am enjoying it! It's a fun little show, if certain aspects are a little repetitive. But the epic background "pattern" storyline has potential.

THURSDAYS will be CRAZY!!! :)

MON, Sep 21
Heroes - YAY! Admittedly these guys can do what they want I'll still tune in. They'd have to mess up BIG TIME for me to give up on this show.

THU Sep 24
Mentalist - fun show, ALSO on Thursdays!! If I find that I can't keep up though then this is the one that I tend to watch last.

FRI, Sep 25
Dollhouse - HOORAY! Glad we got another season! Joss Whedon blew me away with Buffy and Angel and apparently has a 5-year plan for these characters all worked out so I'll be along for the ride!

Smallville - Season 9... wow. There were plenty of moments when I thought about or actually did give up on this show. But the last couple of seasons have been strong again and I'm just itching to see Clark take off for the first time!!! Though apparently that won't happen any time soon. Can we morph this show into "Metropolis" some time? Glad to see Justin Hartley and other favorites back, and
NOT certain other characters. Made the show so much better when they left!!

SUN, Sep 27
Dexter - YAAAAY! My favorite serial killer will be back!! This show is just ridiculously good!! Can't wait! Never a dull moment with this guy!

FRI, Oct 2
Stargate Universe - "New Battlestar Galactica?" I loved SG-1 and actually did think at some point that I'd love to get a darker version of that. They heard me. I wanted to be on that show so badly!!! With Robert Carlisle, Lou Diamond Philipps, Ming Na, Alaina Huffmann (aka Smallville's Black Canary and Painkiller Jane's Maureen Bowers. Never liked her in those roles but I think this one will suit her!)... and for being as much of a Stargate fan as me David Blue (as Eli Wallace) is already my fav! :)

FRI, Oct 9
Sanctuary - joins SG-U on the Friday evenings a week later. This is another show that I tend to watch only once I have seen everything else. I did enjoy the first season but... we'll see. I WANT to like this show so badly!

With Dollhouse and Smallville also on Fridays... FRIDAYS WILL BE CRAZY, TOO!!! (Unless somebody gives in and moves things... can this competition within the same genre be healthy?)

SAT, Nov 7
Legend of the Seeker - FUN! It's what I wanted XENA to be. I never liked the over the top silly... audience-is-in-on-the-joke stuff. This is darker and still fun. Wonder what they'll serve for a story line this season!

MON, Jan 17, 2010
24 - Last season was great again and this season will have Katee Sackhoff (BSG's Starbuck) which is reason enough for me to tune in cause she's cool! :)
