Yes folks its finally here. That time of the year when all of us TV fans go bonkers for the new American lineup of TV blockbusters heading our way. Whilst the Australian networks haven't yet released just who they will be picking up for their second round of ratings, the American news publications have been going crazy over the wave of great American television coming out this year. In an era where TV is slowly becoming the more dominant focus of drama production, TV is becoming more entertaining, more exciting, and more accessible to the average viewer. Here are my top 5 picks for this year's Fall lineup:
1. Pan Am - ABC Studios
This is coming straight out of my obsession with the Mad Men series. I can't help it. I am genuinely in love with the 1950s era and am so excited that there is now a trend emerging of television productions exploring life in these times.
2. The Playboy Club - NBC Studios
Read above.
3. Charlie's Angels
I love shows which have women as their main focus (Desperate Housewives, Winners and Losers, Offspring) and I am also in love with the Charlie's Angels movies of the Noughties. This show will hopefully bring all of these elements together.
4. Apartment 23
This has such an interesting concept and such a bizarre combination of actors (in the form of Krysten Ritter, James Van Der Beek, and Dreama Walker) that it should hopefully be a brilliant comedy.
5. 2 Broke Girls
I love Kat Dennings and think she is absolutely sexy as hell which is probably why I am more drawn to her in this show than the show itself. Still, it looks like it can carry through with the laughs so hopefully will be a good one to watch.
Honorable Mentions:
Good Christian Belles - ABC
Terra Nova - Fox
New Girl - Fox
Awake - NBC
Smash - NBC
There are many more due to be released (slash picked up) and thankfully, the wonderful people at the LA times have produced this fantastic online list for us all to drool over. Some of the links don't work but it gives you an idea of what's going on: Los Angeles Times
