Even though summer is coming to a close, it’s a fun time of year because all the new and returning fall shows are coming up. I’m so-so on some and downright excited about others. In this week’s See Jane Clack, let’s take a look at a few shows I’m looking forward to:
Gossip Girl (season 3 premieres Sept. 14). I just finished watching season two, so all the sex and Prada is fresh in my mind. Will the gang grow up and be adults now that they’re in college? And just how much gay time will we see out of Chuck Bass? And does that pretty much ditch the idea that he and Blair will ever get together permanently?
House (season 6 premieres Sept. 21). It’s no secret that the cranky doc has been in his own sort of hell for, well, forever. But now that he’s taken up residence in a mental hospital, just how will that affect his outlook and interpersonal relations? I’m sort of hoping his people skills don’t get any better. It just wouldn’t be the same.
Grey’s Anatomy (season 6 premieres Sept. 24). It will be sad to see George go, but I’m sure his passing will spark all kinds of new drama for the dysfunctional docs. I’m hoping to see more of Dr. McBadass (Owen Hunt) this season. Much more. I hope they don’t spend too much time with his post traumatic stress disorder, though. I like seeing him bark at people and sew up his own wounds.
Private Practice (season 3 premieres Oct. 1). Holy cripes, I’ve been wondering how the heck Violet is going to get out of this one. When last we left her, an unstable patient had a knife poised over Violet’s belly, ready to cut the baby out and run away with it. Definite shark-jumping there, but it made me think about the show all summer.
The Office (season 6 premieres Sept. 17). Pam and Jim! Jim and Pam! I can’t wait to see things progress with the baby! I’m sure it’ll provide lots of new fodder for the quirky office mates to chew on.
Fringe (season 2 premieres Sept. 17). First of all, I’m giddy over the fact that we don’t have to wait ’til January to get our Walter Bishop fix. I don’t know if that was ever the plan, but it just seems like Fox has a trend of premiering new shows after the first of the year. And I can’t wait to find out what happens with the whole parallel universe thing. Are the characters we’ve grown to love — Walter, Peter, Olivia, et al — in the “real” world? Or is the “other” world the real one? Did Walter bring Peter back to this universe after his “real” son died? And did Olivia travel to the other universe after meeting with William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) at the end of last season? It’s enough to make your head spin.
The Biggest Loser (season 8 premieres Sept. 15). I just saw a preview of this, and they’re going to have the biggest contestant ever to appear on the show — a female weighing in at 476 lbs. First of all, major kudos to this gal for just throwing it all out there and putting herself in the public eye. That must be some kind of hell, but hopefully, she’ll transform her life and be a big inspiration to everyone else trying to lose weight. You go, girl! We’re pullin’ for ya!
New shows I’m gleeful about: Glee (Sept. 9), The Vampire Diaries (Sept. 10), Community (Sept. 17), Bored to Death (Sept. 20).
