Fall TV Hits and Misses

ABC's Desperate Housewives

ABC's Desperate Housewives

Desperate Housewives : For the first time in a long time Desperate Housewives is bringing back the “mystery” aspect. The new neighbors of Wisteria Lane have a troubled past obviously, but we’re so left in the dark that we don’t have a clue what that past could be. Sunday’s hour long episode “Being Alive” gave each housewife something significant to do-even the husbands are joining in the fun.

Glee-Fox Network

Glee-Fox Network

Glee : Social Outcasts are hitting all the right the notes with their solid renditions of made famous songs(Rehab, Bust Your Windows, Take a Bow). Witty dialogue, charming characters, and subtle humor= rating’s win for Glee.

The Vampires Diaries-CW

The Vampires Diaries-CW

The Vampire Diaries : Only four episodes in, and The Vampire Diaries are already winning fans over. Bloodthirsty Brothers Stefan and Ian are the target of small town. Personally we can’t wait to see how the first season of The Vampire Diaries will play out.

CBS's The Good Wife

CBS The Good Wife

The Good Wife : They say you can’t keep a good woman down. Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies gives a strong performance as Alicia Florrick. The lawyer has to hold the fort down while her husband, a politician, is in jail for bribery and scandal. CBS The Good Wife is captivating television at its best.

ABC's Modern Family

ABC's Modern Family

Modern Family : Where do where start? One wife(Julie Bowen) makes Kate Gossiline’s antics used against Jon seem tame. The outrageously funny Gay couple has adopted a baby girl from Korea. Oh, and the wisecracking father is married to a woman twice his age. Despite some of the shockingly funny moments from the 3 zany families, at the end of the day their just like any other “modern” family.

Honorable mention goes to AMC’s Madmen and the new ABC hit Flash Forward.

Fox's The Cleveland Show

Fox's The Cleveland Show

Sure if your a Family Guy fan you might enjoy The Cleveland Show-or not. The Clevelands are exact carbon copies of it’s predecessors. The show is the least bit of funny, and at times the lines often fall flat for the satirical comedy.

TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8

TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8

Jon and Kate Plus 8: What happened to show where we enjoyed the adorably cute moments between all eight kids? When the family would go on vacation and enjoy themselves? The divorce has put a dark cloud over the once beloved show. Jon and Kate’s nasty divorce has been all over the media. Things don’t stop there. Recently Jon put the reality show on halt. And did anyone hear about Jon emptying the joint account? Yikes.
