New Girl

With all of the new shows debuting this fall, I got really excited to see what was new, returning, and watch my determination to do schoolwork take second priority to catching up on tv shows (haha).

I decided to begin watching with the "New Girl" with Zoe Deschanel. She is known for a lot of different things...She And Him, 500 Days of Summer, and my personal favorite...and I think that this new show will really give all the Zoe fans their weekly dose, and it will get everyone who still doesn't know who she is to absolutely fall in love. I am, however, worried that it will turn out to be one of those fantastic TV shows that goes unnoticed by millions of viewers, only to go off-air like some of my other favorites (*cough* Arrested Development). I do think that, based on the ratings of the first episode (11 million viewers) it could do O.K.

I think that these numbers are really, really high, considering that the pilot episode has been available to view for free via itunes since early September. I think that was a great way for FOX to promote the show..I really hope that they got it right with this one!

Also, I was watching the series premier of SNL and witnessing these two men on the same stage was great...

But what is up with Alec's hair? Did anyone else get really, really distracted watching it wiggle back and forth? Too. Much. Gel.

New Fall Shows

The new fall season for TV is quickly approaching and I’m counting down the days. I recently read this article: http://www.timescolonist.com/entertainment/Fall+television+preview+season+full+laughs+screams+fairy+tales/5384733/story.html

Which gave brief summaries on some of the new shows coming out this season. While there’s nothing that absolutely stands out to me I know that I’m looking forward to New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel, who has never disappointed me and I especially became a huge fan after (500) Days of Summer.

Another new show I’m looking forward to is Up All Night. Being a huge Will Arnett fan I was more than disappointed in his sitcom last year Running Wilde. I think that pairing him up with Christina Applegate is going to be much better.

I also can’t wait for my NBC Thursday nights to come back. Especially Community and Parks and Recreation which keep getting better and better with each episode.

John Goodman will definitely be an interesting addition to the show. Fortunately I only have a little more than a week to find out.

Matt Walker

Hello fellow students! If you haven't guessed it my name is Matt Walker and I am a Sophomore from the Cuse. I am a huge Syracuse Basketball fan so feel free to talk to me about it, unless if they lose like they did against Seton Hall. I am a TV/R major with a video concentration. I have no idea what I want to do later in life but I like sports and I like TV, so a mixture of the two would be nice. All of my sports teams have been playing poorly recently so I am in a bad mood, plus the 8 AM class means I can be very cranky so you should probably avoid me.
