I don’t know if you were aware, but I love TV almost as much as I love cats. This is my list of must watch shows for the upcoming week.
Sunday
Game Of Thrones might be the best show on TV. The episodes never waste a moment and with more characters than any other show, that is a good thing. Extra points for the most informative and intricate ever-changing opening.
Girls is a new show premiering on April 15th on HBO. Here is the synopsis from TV.com.
Lena Dunham, creator of 2010′s critically acclaimed independent film, Tiny Furniture, partners with Judd Apatow (Freaks & Geeks, Knocked Up) for a new series on HBO. The show, much like Dunham’s film, takes a comically wry and offbeat look at the ups and downs of a group of twenty-something girlfriends living in New York City. The cast includes Dunham as Hannah, an intern at a publishing house in SoHo; Marnie, a motivated assistant at a political PR firm and Jessa; a down-to-earth girl who wants to be an artist and teacher.
I will have to reserve my judgment until after I see the pilot but the reviews are positive. It is definitely worth giving this show a slot on your DVR.
The Killing is a controversial show. It recently started its second season and many (former) fans refused to watch because we still do not know who killed Rosie Larsen. I am in the camp that the show is still solid and interesting enough to hang through at least one more season. Plus I really want to know who the killer is.
Monday
Smash is a really good show. I love the behind look at a putting together a Broadway musical. There is so much drama that is coupled with excellent singing and dancing.
Tuesday
Don’t Trust The B In Apt 23 premiered last week and it is quirky. Why should you watch?
- One main character is a terrible person almost in a cartoonish way
- James Van Der Beek plays himself
My TV guilty pleasure, I love Revenge. There is not a weak episode so far and I can only imagine what Amanda has in store for the rest of season one.
Thursday
Touch is a show with a lot of heart that tells great stories. Even though some of the episodes are a tinge formulaic, watching Kiefer Sutherland get from point A to point B is fascinating. I love how clearly we can see the interconnectedness of each story every week. This show has a lot of potential.
One of the most unusual concepts in recent memory. Awake is well written and has a great feel. I hope the ratings improve because this show deserves a chance.
Friday
Fringe does not deserve the ratings it receives. The show has never been better. I will be very upset if it does not get another season.
Netflix Streaming
Slightly cheesy but pretty good for a summer show on MTV. I am halfway through the first season and should be caught up before season two starts.
What’s on your must watch list?
I would love to watch Game of Thrones, I have read all the books and adore them. I also watch Revenge and The B in Apt 23 is funny.
Other than that I watch Survivor and The Amazing Race

Game of Thrones is amazing! I’ve only read the first book but can’t wait to read the others. So good!

A few of these are on my to-watch list, but Tom and I just started watching Awake and were blown away. I really hope it turns into more than just a mid-season filler. It’s SO stunning visually and it’s incredibly well written. I’m so intrigued by it and I hope it continues.
Fringe started out… poorly, I thought. But I heard it got really good so I stuck with it. I love the concept and Walter Bishop just might be one of my favorite characters on TV! I’ve just started Season 3 right now and I have to say it’s a lot more enjoyable, and I’m excited to hear it just keeps getting better and better.
Thanks for the recommendations!

You know a show looks amazing when TV reviewers feel the need to point it out. Awake doesn’t look like any other show on TV. I’m afraid it might be cancelled which is just sad because it is a great show.
Walter Bishop is one of my favorite TV characters ever. He is so bizarre and yet so loveable. I always love any scene where he is eating near something grotesque. Fringe only gets better, I hope you enjoy it!
