Fall Shows You Should Be Watching

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at App State chapter.

Although Boone seems to be indecisive about the seasons, Fall TV has not let me down.  Despite all my classes, homework, and actual work, I always make time for my shows.  Here are my favorites so far:
 
-Gossip Girl
Who doesn’t love staring at a group of beautiful people roaming around the streets of New York City?  These truly are “scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite.”  If we aren’t watching it for the fashion, then we are definitely watching it anxiously hoping that Blaire and Chuck will rekindle their love.  I mean, if Blaire and Chuck can’t make it, who can?  I am still unsure how I feel about the new “Charlie” character, but I am curious to learn more about her.  Needless to say, my Monday nights are spent watching Gossip Girl at 9 PM.
 
-Revenge
This show is seriously my new obsession!  The show takes place in the glorious Hamptons and stars Emily VanCamp, from Brothers and Sisters.  This intriguing plot follows a young woman seeking revenge on all the people who framed her father.  I am not a huge mystery fan, but this show has just the right amount for me.

-Grey’s Anatomy & Private Practice
For me, these shows go hand in hand.  My Thursday nights are full of drama-filled, steamy medical shows.  I was so excited when both of these came back on.  I am a little saddened by the Derek and Meredith problems, but I should have known because ABC never lets anyone be happy.  Despite the drama, I never get sick of looking at Derek and McSteamy.  Followed by Private Practice, I am curious to see where the story line will go from here.  This started off as a bit of a spinoff of Grey’s, but they are actually quite different.  This show follows a small medical practice often facing more ethically challenging cases. There is just as much enticing drama though, and I may like it even more than Grey’s itself.

-Rachel Zoe Project

I literally die for this show… Rachel Zoe is my idol!  This celebrity stylist not only lives my dream life, but this season she has her baby.  For other R.Z. fans, you know how upset Rodger, her husband, was about them not expanding their family, so I was beyond excited to hear of her pregnancy.  Rachel’s witty humor and astounding eye for fashion keeps me coming back for more every Tuesday.  Bravo follows her hectic way of life as she constantly styles celebrities, in addition to attending fashion weeks all over the world, and picking out dresses for all of Hollywood’s events.  She is the ultimate glam girl, and of course birthed baby Skylar wearing Chanel…bananas!
 
-Pan Am
This show takes place in the 60s and although it’s not my favorite fashion era, I still love it!  Pan Am, at the time, was known as the high class way of flying.  This drama follows a group of pilots and stewardess’ as they venture around the world.  Pan Am takes us back to the beginning of the Jet Age.
 
Hopefully some of you have gotten a chance to watch these shows so far, and if not, look them up – I promise you will not be disappointed.
