In my book, Wednesdays have never been known for extraordinary television programming. However, the fall of 2009 has redeemed Wednesday's prime time reputation for this gal. And it's not just on one network. It's Fox and ABC. Who would have thought? Lucky for me, I babysit on Wednesday evenings, so I get to watch TV with my fave gal under the age of one. And Thursdays have always delivered since E.R. took the stage years ago. The shows with a star are on Wednesdays, and that's tonight. Give them a chance. In case your weekly TV schedule is a little lackluster, check out my lineup (in ranking order, nonetheless) and liven up your weekdays. Also, if you want to catch up on a show, go to www.hulu.com to watch the last five episodes of a season. - Glee* - Nerds. Musical. Drama. And a really handsome show choir teacher. Could you ask for a better combination? I resisted watching this show, then one boring day I caved. And I tell you, it's greatness. Sure, it's obvious that there are additional backup singers for every song, but it's fabulous.
- How I Met Your Mother - Neil Patrick Harris won my heart as Doogie Howser, then recaptured it as Dr. Horrible and he's finally won my complete affection in his brilliant role as Barney on How I Met Your Mother. This show has rocked since its inception, however, this season it is a whole other ball game.
- Community - If you love Joel McHale's witty banter on The Soup, you will love his "I'm better than this" attitude in Community. Sure this show is making fun of people in a community college setting, but it's hilarious! And more than likely you've been involved with a group of random people, so it's easy to relate to the show's biting humor.
- Grey's Anatomy - Now that ER is off the air, Grey's Anatomy has slipped into the top slot of movie-filled drama in 45 minutes or less. Even after six seasons, this show still delivers tears, laughs and disgust in one Thursday evening.
- The Office - I'm not ashamed to admit it took me a while to warm up to this quirky show, but after two seasons of avidly watching, I'm a real fan. And did you see Pam and Jim get married? Too sweet!
- The Middle* - I decided to watch this show because of the Janitor from Scrubs, also known as Neil Flynn. Then after watching the first episode, I couldn't stop laughing. The youngest son, Brick (Atticus Shaffer) whispers random things to no one in particular.
- Modern Family* - The title of the show pretty much explains it. Weave a few social stigmas into a crafty plot, and you've got the makings of a funny show.
And there you have it. Let me hear what you have to say. Or if you have any suggestions for me.
