My literally thousands of readers have been screaming for months now, desperately wanting to know what I think about the 2009 TV Fall Line up. After some reflection I realized that I have been quite neglectful and cruel to my literally thousands of readers. I know how badly you all want me to tell you what you should be watching. To be honest, I've been a little disappointed with 2009's Fall TV Schedule. There seems to be a serious lack of scifi shows out there right now. I've even resorted to watching some non-sci fi shows. Its been a bit of a sacrifice, but necessary in order to keep a strong relationship with TV.
Mondays:
What happened to Mondays? They used to be such an amazing night for sci fi TV. Now it just blows.
Heroes:
The show started out amazing. It continued to amaze me until the Season 1 Season Finale, which blew. I suffered through 2.5 more seasons before I quit watching it. Though my by T-Bag from Prison Break is getting rave reviews this season, I still haven't bothered and either should you. Drop it if you already haven't.
Castle:
OK, so I am a little embarrassed to admit that I watch this show. The only reason I watch it is that Captain Malcolm Reynolds, aka, Nathan Fillion is the lead. My hopes are that this show is a hit, Fillion becomes a commercial success, and returns to making awesome sci fi TV shows and movies.
Tuesdays:
Sons of Anarchy:
This spot on portrayal of life within a Motorcycle Club makes me wonder what I'm doing sitting behind a desk. I should be out on the road, running guns on my Harley, avoiding the ATF, conspiring with the IRA, and beating the piss out of anyone who deals drugs in my town--especially the White Supremacists. The Season 2 Finale was amazing. They set up so many great and twisted story lines for next year. Go and rent or buy season one and watch it with your kids. Your family will love it.
So You Think You Can Dance:
This is the reality dance show that people under 50 watch, which makes it very cool. Though it can't boast of Donny, this show has some pretty amazing dancers. Don't believe me? Check out Ryan rip this solo to some very appropriate music. I'm sure the Scorpions couldn't be prouder.

Thanks Spence. I'm gonna check out Modern Family.
Thank you for your fall season postview.
Its a great feeling for me when I have seen most of the shows that you have reviewed.
Still don't think I am going to watch 90210 though I would like to see a blended series of Gossip Girl meets Beverly Hills.
I couldn't find your review of the Wife from Everyone Love's Raymond. Doesn't she have a new TV Show?
Cblakes, Spencer clued us into Modern Family as well, and now we are hooked. It is excellent. But I still think Darth Spencer is crazy not to like Community. Katie and I think its hilarious.
They need to have a Community spin off and name it Community: Spanish 210.
The guest professors make the show, the other characters seemed very waxy, but they grow on you. I have not given up on Community. Winger and Senor Chang are worth it.
I'm glad that I have been able to help out your families by convincing you to watch more TV. I've often said that TV is the most important member of the family and I couldn't be more pleased that you all are spending more time with him.
I am bothered that a review of Glee was not included.
Love Modern Family and Always Sunny. I can proudly say that you are my kin, as is the TV.
