Top Fall TV Shows: Part 2 New Shows

A couple of weeks ago, I posted some of my favorite returning fall shows so I decided why not post some of my favorite new fall shows.

 Grandfathered

Tuesdays 8/7c on Fox

A 50 something year old playboy bachelor discovers not only he has a son but also a granddaughter. Pretty much one of those cliche comedies that we see everywhere today BUT John Stamos aka Uncle Jesse is in it.... Do I need to say more? Despite the cliche plot it is a lighthearted and funny show. Definitely worth checking it out. 

Blood & Oil

Sundays 9/8c on ABC

For those of you out there who are fans of the show Dallas and its remake, then you guys will definitely like this one. Just like Dallas, Blood & Oil is set in the greedy and corrupt world of the oil business. It is intriguing, sexy and keeps your attention. Plus some serious man candy... Chace Crawford anyone? 

Scream Queens

Tuesdays 9/8c on Fox

Basically if Mean Girls and the Scream Franchise had a baby. Scream Queens sets in the fictional Wallace University where a masked devil killer roams around killing people. I won't give too much away but for those of you who like a little scare and humor in their TV selection this fall, go check this out.

Wicked City

Premieres Oct 27 10/9c on ABC

This show has not been released yet but from the trailers I can tell already it will be a hit mostly for one reason and that is ED WESTWICK is the main character. Wicked City is set in the 1980s in West Hollywood where the Sunset Strip Killer roams. Ed Westwick plays the killer is there really a need for me to say anything else haha

Top Fall TV Show Lineup!!! PART 1 Returning Shows

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the cool weather and the changing color of the leaves. And not to mention it is FINALLY the start of the holiday season!!!!!!!! But another favorite that some of us tend to overlook during the fall season is the return and arrival of TV SHOWS! .If you have been following me for awhile you will know that I am a huge TV buff! It is probably one of the best and worst things about me. The amount of time I spend watching TV shows is to the point where I think I may need to attend support groups for TV addicts (if there is one out there). But nevertheless for those of you who are like me out there I'm sure you will enjoy this post. Here is part 1 talking about returning shows. Part 2 will focus on new shows.

RETURNING SHOWS

The Mindy Project

Returns Sept. 15 on Hulu (Season 4) 
New episodes posted every Tuesday

Words alone cannot describe how excited I am that Hulu decided to pick this show up after FOX cancelled it (worst decision ever). If you guys are not familiar, The Mindy Project is about a 30 something year old gynecologist played by the beautiful and talented Mindy Kaling, and her misadventures with love, work, and friendships in the big apple. Plenty of sappy love scenes, raunchy humor and not to mention hot guys!!! 

iZombie

Returns Oct 6 on The CW (Season 2)

With all the hype on The Walking Dead, it is no wonder why this show is so underrated. iZombie is set in the present day where zombies roam free with humans (not to the human's knowledge). It follows the story of Liv Moore, medical student, turned zombie after an unfortunate incident at a party. She now works at the morgue eating the brains of the dead and helping local enforcement solving their murders. It is super entertaining and fun to watch. I personally find it better than The Walking Dead. #sorrynotsorry

 Madam Secretary

Returns Oct 11 on CBS (Season 2)

Basically a less raunchy version of Scandal, has just enough politics to keep you interested but not bore you to death. As much as I loved Scandal when it came out, I just really got sick of Olivia Pope, She really isn't the badass she claims to be and I frankly find her getting more and more annoying.

Fresh Off The Boat

Returns Sept 22 on ABC (Season 2)

If you haven't watched this show I don't know what is wrong with you. Fresh Off The Boat is based on the biography of Eddie Huang about his experiences as a Taiwanese immigrant moving to Florida in the 90's. Plenty of humor and just a little something out there for everyone.

American Horror Story: Hotel

Returns Oct 7 on FX(Season 4)

Who doesn't like AHS? There hasn't been much reveal on what the plot is but rather just the setting in a hotel. But from watching the past seasons, I know Ryan Murphy won't disappoint and not to mention LADY GAGA will be in it. Need I say more? And for those of you who aren't familiar with AHS, it is a horror anthology. It has a different setting every season usually with the same actors portraying different characters (anyone else sad that Jessica Lange isn't coming back)

Law and Order: SVU

Returns Sept 23 on NBC (Season 17)

I know I know you guys are probably thinking another season? This is mainly for those hardcore fans like myself. I haven't got bored yet so I will continue watching this until it ends.

Hawaii 5-0

Returns Sept 25 on CBS (Season 6)

Also another underrated show. This is a reboot from the 1960s-80s version. It is about an elite police force in Hawaii. It is actually pretty entertaining and somewhat relatable which is what you would think of a cop show.

Reign

Returns Oct. 9 on The CW (Season 3)

Tells the story of the rise of Queen Mary of Scotland. It is like Gossip Girl but set in the 1500s. Great cast of characters and the plot is always changing and moving. Highly addictive especially if you are a history buff like I am (not accurate but who really cares). 

Downton Abbey

Returns Jan 3 2016 (maybe wrong) on PBS (Season 6)

And last but not least the LAST season of Downton Abbey  (bring on the tissues). When I first heard of this show I was very skeptical. It seemed very bland and just plain boring. But boy was I wrong and so glad to be wrong. I have fallen deeply and madly in love with this series and honestly it is taking a piece of my heart with it. There isn't much detail on the plot but from the trailer we can expect a very emotional season so make sure you stock up on tissues.

American Horror Story Freak Show Thoughts and Tibits - BLOGTOBER OCTOBER 9,2014

Ready to get FREAKY?!?!

WARNING SPOILERS ALERT!!! 

AHS is finally back!!! I look forward to this show every year since it came out. There really isn't any decent horror TV shows these days. They all seem to try to hard to be scary but only AHS has been successful.

Season 4 Freak Show is set in Jupiter, Florida during the 1950s at one of the last remaining freak shows on Earth. The premiere never disappoints and this one definitely didn't. Many of the original actors from the previous seasons return like the amazing Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, etc... 

In the premiere we are introduced to amazingly freaky characters. Sarah Paulson plays a pair of conjured twins and let's take a moment at how amazing she was at it. This woman deserves an Emmy. I recently read an article that Sarah had played both twins and didn't ask for someone else to voice. 

We also saw a murderous clown (IT much?) a little person (who is actually the smallest person in the world), and much more.

I don't want to give away too much but all I can say is please go watch it you won't be disappointed!!!

AHS is on FX Wednesdays @ 10

Legend of Korra Book 4 Thoughts- BLOGTOBER OCTOBER 4, 2014

WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

So yesterday was the premiere of the LAST SEASON of The Legend of Korra. I for one am devastated. This was such a short season especially when compared to Avatar: The Last Airbender. 

Book Four: Balance is set 3 years later after the events of Zaheer and his group. Mako is now a bodyguard to the new Earth king (great nephew of the the last queen who was murdered in the last season). Asami is finally back in control of her father's company and is currently working with Republic city's president to establish transportation lines. Bolin is working with Kuvira on trying to balance the Earth kingdom. He definitely matures a lot in the premiere. Kai and Opal along with the other new airbenders are going around the world trying to restore peace due to the aftermath of last season. As for the Avatar herself we got a glimpse towards the end but still unsure where she is exactly.

I thought the premiere was decent not great. When I watched the trailer I thought it would start out with a bang. I think that Nick is pushing the series so fast that the storyline isn't really developing right. This is one of NIck's shortest shows. I am going to leave it here and hope that the rest of the season gets better.

You can watch Korra on Nick.com, Nick app and Amazon Instant Video.

What I am currently watching #FallTv- BLOGTOBER OCTOBER 3, 2014

Another reason I love fall is that all my favorite TV shows are back and then some. This particular year I have A LOT of shows I been trying to keep up with. Here are just a few of the shows that I am currently obsessed with. Maybe you guys will end up picking up some of the shows and become a TV junkie just like me :D Also tweet me your favorite shows this season with #houseoftherisingsunTV 

1.) GILMORE GIRLS!!!

Explores the life and relationship of a mother and a daughter living in the small fictional town of Stars Hollow.

Can you guys tell by my exclamation marks how excited I am about this show. This is an oldie but a goodie. I pretty much grew up watching this along with my soap operas. There is something in this show for everybody and yes there is A TON of cheesy drama but hey what would life be without a little bit? All the seasons of Gilmore Girls are not available to stream on Netflix.

2.) Black-ish 

An African American family living in the suburbs dealing with the racial aspects of everyday life.

This is a new show just released this season and it was become one of my favorites. Anthony Anderson is hilarious and witty and just all around a good time. Looking for a good comedy check is out on ABC Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30c.

3.) Legend of Korra: Balance (Season 4)

The last season of the epic continuance of the Last Airbender.

Premiering tonight the last season on nick.com and the nick app. I am so incredibly sad that this show has come to an end. It is definitely one of the shortest and fastest shows Nick has ever produced.The only annoying part of the show that I don't like is that it is no longer showing on TV.  I just hope they will make another avatar show later in the future. Withdraw isn't going to be pretty...

4.) How to Get Away With Murder

The title explains it all. I am not going to say anything about this show. Just go watch it and be amazed... Seriously go NOW!!!

Other shows worth checking out: Sleepy Hollow Season 2, Parenthood Season 6, New Girl Season 4, Selfie, Law and Order: SVU Season 16 (yes there is another season but hey this is a classic), and Scandal
