My Favorite Fall TV Shows

One of the things I love about fall besides the cooler weather and awesome color change of the trees, is the return of fall TV shows.  There's nothing quite like TV in the fall.  Reality TV shows seem to reign supreme during the summer, but my preference is scripted TV.  So, here's a look at what I'm watching.

If didn't know, I'm huge fan of DC and Marvel comics.  I'm not going to lie, I didn't give this show a second glance during its first season.  Then, I show it on Netflix one restless night and decided to give it a watch.  This is my new obsession.  I've almost completed watching the entire first season and I'm enjoying this season so far.  If you're into action movies or comic book heroes, this is the show for you!

It's got action, romance and Stephen Amell is not at all bad on the eyes ladies.  He spent a lot time in the first season minus his shirt in a few episodes!

Calling all Sex & the City fans!  If you missed the first season of this show, you definitely don't want to miss out on the second.  It's nice being able to follow the journey of how Carrie Bradshaw became the ultra fabulous adult Carrie Bradshaw that we currently know.  And the fashion is amazing!  I've already seen more than one or two looks from the show that I wish I could have in my closet.

Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley.  What more of a reason do you need to watch this show?  Yes, I'm still obsessed with the love triangle that is Elena, Damon and Stefan.  First she was with Stefan.  Then she got turned into a vampire and fell in love with Damon.  You just don't know who she's going to be dating by the end of this season.  So, far I haven't missed an episode and if you're a fan of Twilight and or The Vampire Diaries book series, you'll love the show as well.

If you have an interest for mysteries and crime then Castle is the show for you.  My baby sister got me hooked on this show and I haven't been able to stop watching it.  It's just the right amount of crime but mixed with a lot humor.  There's even some romance.  I've had a blast watching writer Richard Castle tag along with his cop buddies as research for his crime novels.  What's amazing is that Castle is just as good at solving the crimes as the detectives are.

This Vampire Diaries spin-off is awesome, fast paced and action packed.  I figured that Klaus would have his own show because he kind of burnt all of his bridges in Mystic Falls.  This is the shows first season and I can already see it coming back for a second.  

I stumbled across this show channel surfing one Sunday night.  As a Harry Potter fan, I've always enjoyed anything to do with magic.  It's nice to have the fairy tale of being able to use a magic spell to change your life or the lives of others.  However, this show is nothing like Harry Potter.  It's strictly for adults!

There's mystery, secrets, and steamy love scenes as this family of witches work to break the curses that have plagued their family for centuries.

What are you watching on TV this fall?

An Old Favorite

There's nothing like rediscovering an old favorite.  Whether it's stumbling across a fragrance you thought had been discontinued, finding your old 'skinny' jeans stashed at the top of your closet or a making a dish you enjoyed as a child it's hard to resist those things we once clung to almost religiously.  Well, last month I rediscovered an old favorite tv show, The Vampire Diaries.  My baby sister and I used to watch the show every week like our lives depended on it.

So, what happened?  Well, I kind of went on a CW strike after they didn't bring The Game back for a third season.  They said it was because of ratings but I wasn't buying it.  It's been years since The CW has been on my tv.  But thanks to Netflix and The CW app, I am officially rehooked on the drama surrounding Elena and the Salvatore brothers, Damon and Stefen.

Like OMG!  I missed out on so much.  Like Elena finding out she was adopted, her uncle John was really her biological father and her mother was vampire and her aunt's boyfriend's supposedly dead wife.  Yes, that is a lot!  And Carolyn got turned into a vampire and started dating Tyler who's also a werewolf.

I've been staying up late to catch up on the past seasons before the one starts tomorrow.  My mind is totally blown.  Looks like there are still a few great scripted shows still out there.  And while we're on the subject of The CW, did anyone watch the pilot for The Carrie Diaries on Monday?  I watched it last night online and I think I'm going to like it.

If you're a fan of Sex & the City, then you might like The Carrie Diaries.  The show is about how the young, teenage Carrie Bradshaw became the fabulous Manolo obsessed adult writer Carrie Bradshaw we all admired and loved in the HBO series.  It's also based on the book, The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell.  I think The CW is growing on me again!  Hmm.... I wonder what other old favorites, I should rediscover?

What old favorites have you fallen in love with again?

Romance Wednesday: TV Partners

 Couples fight over everything.  We argue about money, what brands to buy, what car to get, etc.  Some couples even battle over control for the remote.  Thankfully, my husband and I don't have that issue.  I've been blessed to have a partner that actually enjoys the same shows that I do.

And for us this is a huge plus.  We haven't had a date night in three years as far as getting out the house with just the two of us.  And now that we have JJ, I'm sure that it'll be at least another year and a half.  I know some of you are like that's a long time, but we understood that when I made the choice to breastfeed, we would be sacrificing alone together time outside the home.  My family lives two hours away and JJ isn't a fan of the bottle at all.

Luckily, my husband invested in large flat screen and we have date nights in the living room after the kids are asleep.  It's not the same as going to the theater, but it still gives that closeness and romantic feeling.  Thinking about it, date night at home is better.  We can snuggle up next to each other without an arm rest blocking our contact.  We laugh and comment as much as we want without someone shhhing us.

It's truly the little things that make or break a relationship.  And I'm very thankful that what to watch on tv is one less battle that we have to worry about.  So, what do we watch on tv?  Take a look below.
