Hey kids! We’re doing a PCS Fall TV feature! Since the Fall Season is starting up and all, here’s our shiny new THIS IS WHAT WE ARE WATCHING list from your beloved Popcultureshock crew and contributors! I’ve been asking my friends what they are gonna watch, based on the few season premiers, and since PCS is getting all personal and touchy-feely, here’s our introduction to you, the readers, to let you know some of our tastes!
Let us know what shows you’re watching and what YOU thought about some of the premiers that we either might’ve missed, you think we were crazy for watching, or maybe you’ve got something to say about YOUR favorite show…
Here’s what I’m watching:
Glee (Favorite Show):
I never knew that what I had always been waiting in a television show is a censored cover of Kanye’s Gold Digger by middle-age mostly white folk pretending to be high-schoolers, but Glee has shown me the truth. I like the cleverness and humor, but I LOVE the song-and-dance. LOVE.
House:
The two-hour-and-A-MINUTE premier was long, not going to lie. But I missed the sharp banter and the piano, and the new haircut is growing on me. I will spend this season hoping and hoping that House finds happiness, and being totally devastated when he is inevitably undermined by his own self-loathing. Aww.
The Office:
Babies have a history of ruining lives and TV shows, but the season premier was charming and funny in spite of pregnancy. Take that, baby.
Defying Gravity:
Defying Gravity is not original in its characters, its plot devices, and its monologues about human ambitions and limitation but whatever! It is in space! Everything in space is inherently awesome.
America’s Next Top Model / Project Runway:
Shows I would never admit to watching on a blind date, but I can’t tire my eyes away from the blouses and the dresses and the barely-legal girls. So limber.
So What Else Is On?:
Playing catch-up with 30-Rock and Madmen; watching Eureka on Hulu; waiting on Doctor Who. Hoping that they make a new Star-Trek series where the movie left off, like everyone else on this lonely planet. Come on, come on.

Definitely gotta co-sign the Trek television series. I don’t know why hollywood isn’t moving on this, but i say strike while the iron is hot!

Star Trek series would be neat. Never even heard of Defying Gravity before. But you taste is supect because you placed Glee at the top of your list (see my comments on Alex’s Take). :)

Glee isn’t in my top 5 but I can see the appeal. Seeing how I also like ANTM, I probably shouldn’t even talk about TV on a blind date…
Speaking of suspect taste, Alex also liked GOSSIP GIRL.

Hey jerks. I will have you know that America was built on televised singing and dancing.

Come for the singing and dancing, stay for the ABC Family-quality angst and drama. Blecch.
