I used to, but here in the last few years, my TV-watching has dwindled greatly, not that I'm complaining. With less TV shows on my radar, I've gotten a heck of a lot more accomplished on sewing, reading, enjoying the outdoors, etc. And my eyes don't bug out nearly as much, haha...
Regardless, there are a few new shows that are going on my DVR schedule to try out. Here's hoping I don't get hooked on all of them so I can keep up my good television habits and not watch too much!
Zooey Deschanel? Yes, yes, and yes. The "New Girl" is looking good. (Is it sad that I recognized her dress in the promo picture as Anthro? Of course, it is.)
Folk music in a cave? Sign me up. "Bluegrass Underground" is supposed to premiere sometime in mid-September on PBS.
Retro and vintage -- right up my alley. I can't wait for "Pan Am" to start on ABC.
Storybook mixed with modern? Intriguing. Could be good, could be a flop. We'll see. But it's got Ginnifer Goodwin, and she's a fave, so surely it has a chance. "Once Upon a Time" starts in October on ABC.
Supposedly there is also a two-part reality show series in the works from TLC all about Sarah Palin's hair salon up north -- "Big Hair Alaska". I might tune in for that -- sounds entertaining to me!
Other returning shows I'm planning on checking out again, at least for a while:
"Gold Rush Alaska" (no air date yet for Season Two) -- my husband and I got hooked on this one for whatever reason
"Sister Wives" -- what can I say, the crazy polygamists suck me in every time. (Well, not really, just suck me in to their stupid TV shows, that's all.)
"The Fabulous Beekman Boys" -- please, PLEASE tell me this one is returning. I think they're pretty fabulous, and Polka Spot the Llama holds a little piece of my heart.
And last but CERTAINLY not least, I'm ready for January to get here so I can start watching "Masterpiece Theater" again! (Fingers crossed for the Downton Abbey Christmas special I've heard about, plus I've heard there will be a second season of regular episodes which supposedly just finished filming.) I'm a total convert, and "Masterpiece Theater" has turned into one of my absolute favorite parts of television.
So what are you planning on watching?

I'm down with the new shows - I'll be tuning in! There's a couple more on my list that might intrigue. But the returning shows? Haven't seen because of the no-cable thing, but I'm sure Sister Wives would crack me up.
Ooooh, you're right! There are some good shows coming on!! And I'm also looking forward to another season of Dr. Phil...hehehe....I just can't look away from the crazy ;) we dont have cable anymore or i'd be getting sucked into Sisterwives too...wondering why that husband uses more hair products and fake tanner then all 4 of those dowdy poor things put together ;)
