Belated and Brief fall TV preview

Just wanted to tell you the two new shows this season you should be watching.

1) Glee.

Absent my love for Studio 60, I think this is one of the best new TV premieres of the last 5 years. It has singing and romance for the ladies among us, and somewhat rude, biting humor for the men (and women, let's be honest). Plus the plotlines are ridiculous in the most hilarious ways. It's a feel good show but also makes you laugh out loud. Plus it (along with the musical Rock of Ages) has reawakened a Journey obsession within me. Plus Jane Lynch's character is amazing. If you missed the "Yes we Cane" episode... I pity you. The trailer below doesn't do it justice. If you don't watch Glee, I judge you.



2) Community.

Joel McHale is cute but still hilarious and attainable. Chevy Chase is brilliant and methinks officially back. The guy with Asperger syndrome is amazing. Plus last week, someone fell down ala America's Funniest Home Videos. I. Love. It. The humor is more obvious than the Office, but no less intelligent. Watch it.

I whole heartedly agree with your picks of Glee and Community as this Fall's best new comedies. I would nominate Modern Family for an Honorable Mention. The first two episodes were funny, but the show is a little shaky and has potential to be great or completely fall off. Time will tell, but it is worth a look.

Also, I think FlashForward is definitely the best new drama on tv this Fall. It is doing its best to become the "new Lost" since Season 6 will be our last with the island. FF even went as far as shouting out the Lost fan base with an Oceanic Airlines billboard in the FF pilot. (FYI Losties, did you see the billboard said that Oceanic had a perfect safety record?!?)

Anyway, the concept is both interesting and creepy, and the writers and actors are developing some really interesting characters. Additionally, they have set up some great cliffhangers that are already making it addictive. Highly recommend it.

Link to the trailer below, and yes, that is Seth MacFarlane.
