Now Watching: Fall Hits

Today is October 2nd! The best part is that it's closer to truly feeling like fall here in Charleston! This also means that almost every new or returning show has had their premiere. Here is a list of my top hits!

New Favorites: 

How To Get Away With Murder (ABC) - Thursday, Sep. 25 at 10/9c
This show was pretty good! A little bit more intense than I thought, but still good. It's more a mix of Scandal and Castle. Scandal's intense stories and intrigue and Castle's murders. 

The Mysteries of Laura (NBC) - Wednesday, Sep. 17 at 10/9c
Great show! Murder and comedy! Plus is has Debra Messing and Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama Hottie!) leading the cast. 

Old Favorites:

Bones (Fox) - Thursday, Sep. 25 at 8/7c
Bones and Booth are back together! The opening episode of Season 10 was as crazy as the Season 9 finale was. We lost a beloved member of the team. This season will be intense. 

Castle (ABC) - Monday, Sep. 29 at 10/9c
Like Bones, Castle started out by picking up quickly from the end of last season. Since we finally tied up the loose ends with the murder of Beckett's mother, it made sense that we needed a deeper storyline to hold up this season. We also have the hope of a marriage! Bones is proof that the main characters can be in love, married and have kids while still solving murders and catching criminals.

Nashville (ABC) - Wednesday, Sep. 24 at 10/9c
Love this show! I binge-watched the second half of season 1 and season 2 in about a week. Country music, soap opera-esque story lines and characters you love or love to hate!

Soon To Be Favorites (Haven't Watched or Haven't Premired): 

A-Z (NBC) - Thursday, Oct. 2 at 9/8c
This show is supposed to be similar to How I Met Your Mother and also stars the Mother, Cristin Milioti. It will follow the love story of Andrew and Zelda (Now the title gained about 10 more cute points)!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (ABC) - Tuesday, Sep. 23 at 9/8c
I know, I know. I'm late to this party, but I'm trying to catch up on the 1st season. I really don't think it'll matter since I saw Captain America 2 and Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. I figure I'll just jump into season 2 and go from there.  

Forever (ABC) - Monday, Sep. 22 at 10/9c
My mom has watched this show and she said it was good. I have it on my list to check out this weekend! 

Gotham (Fox) - Monday, Sep. 22 at 8/7c
My dad texted me to tell me I had to watch this one. I knew I would, as Batman has always been one of my top superheroes. I also love backstories! 

Gracepoint (Fox) - Thursday, Oct. 2 at 9/8c
Totally psyched about it! I love miniseries. Harper's Island was a fave of mine. I think Gracepoint will be great and hopefully without the serial killer angle. 

Reign (CW) - Thursday, Oct. 2 at 9/8c
I really wanted to watched the first season, but I never got to and Hulu only has a few of the end episodes. I'm just gonna jump into season 2. I love historical story lines. 

Gilmore Girls Taught Me To Dream

Today is the 4th of July, which means Happy Independence Day, America!

I've spent my holiday lying around the house, watching tv and snacking on Chex Mix. I might even finally clean my bookshelves! *cue the gasps*

For now, though, I'm content to lay on the couch watching The Gilmore Girls, laughing at how similar Rory and Lorelei are to my mom and I. When I was younger my mom always joked that we were just like the Gilmore Girls. Our relationship was similar to theirs and still is. 

When I started watching The Gilmore Girls I was in 7th grade, I think. My life and ideas about life have changed a great deal since then, still my love for this show has not changed. It still never fails to make me laugh, make me cry, make me daydream and wish for all the magic it makes me believe in. I want to be Rory, who is smart and driven. I also want the crazy and wild side of Lorelei. 

The reason I love the show so much is because no matter what episode you watch you still can understand and feel something. You want Rory to step out of her shell a little, for Lorelei to do something crazy and have her usual banter with Luke. You want a Friday night family dinner with Lorelei's parents and the Gilmore girls, filled with sarcasm, banter and jabs that have you rolling on the floor. There's always that little life lesson moment that leaves you reflecting and thinking. The best part is the bond between Rory and Lorelei. 

I may never be able to fully explain my love for this show, but if you've never seen it you need to. Then you'll understand why I'm so in love with it. 

Again, Happy Indepence Day!
