What You Must Watch: Fall TV Season 2015
I'm excited, are you? This coming week kicks off the new prime time fall TV season. So many great shows are returning and so many new shows are coming on that are so worthy of our time. I know that especially with how tired I have been lately from work, sitting down and watching some quality programming will allow me to escape from everything polluting my mind.
Let me know which ones are your favorites....
Are they here? Are they missing from this list? Did I put something on this list that you think isn't time worthy? Speak now!
Sunday:
Blood & Oil: Series premiere on September 27th @ 9 pm on ABC-- Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl) and Rebecca Rittenhouse (Red Band Society) play husband and wife Billy LeFever and Cody who move to North Dakota as a result of the biggest discovery of oil in the nation's history. Don Johnson (Miami Vice) plays oil tycoon Hap Briggs and Amber Valetta (Revenge) plays his socialite wife Carla. I am excited that Wilson Bethel (Hart of Dixie, The Astronaut Wives Club) has just joined the series in a recurring role as a food truck owner. Other stars include, Scott Michael Foster plays Hap's son Wick who is a villain on the show, breakout star Miranda Rae Mayo is Hap's illegit biracial daughter Lacey who is having an affair with Hap's driver AJ played by Adan Canto. The beautiful India de Beaufort plays Jules Jackson, the town's loan shark and lastly Delroy Lindo plays sheriff in town Tip Harrison. This is advertised as a primetime soap, guess that means the ladies are all in, while guys may watch cause it's about the cutthroat oil industry.
Quantico: Series premiere on September 27th @ 10 pm on ABC-- This one looks a lot more exciting and intriguing than I thought it would be. Priyanka Chopra stars as FBI Trainee Alex Parrish, she's a real firecracker, and I am so glad to see Jake McLaughlin (Tate on NBC's Believe) as her love interest and also FBI Trainee Ryan Booth. The series centers around a group of FBI recruits training at the Academy, there are flash forwards, and it seems one of the recruits is responsible for an attack bigger than 9.11. If you watch the previews, they give it away, it's Chopra's character. Nevertheless, it does look good, and I will watch.
The Good Wife: Season 7 premieres on October 4th @ 9 pm on CBS-- In order to fill the void left by Archie Panjabi and Matthew Goode, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Grey's Anatomy fame) will be joining the show as investigator Jason Crouse. His character will be essential to the survival of Alicia's firm. Alicia resigned as lawyer for the State's Attorney's Office as a result of threats and scandal. Jane Curtin will guest star as Judge Farley and Margo Martindale will guest as Willa Eastman who works on the campaign team for Peter who may be running for President and may have Alicia's help. Willa and Eli will have an interesting relationship.
Back to Morgan's character, he will be both the new "Kalinda" as well as a love interest for Alicia. Excited yet?
The Simpsons: Season 27 premieres on September 27th @ 8 pm on FOX-- In the season opener Marge and Homer are separating! Say it ain't so! Apparently, all these years, Homer has had narcolepsy, and it's taken quite the toll on their marriage. Following their legal separation, Homer falls in love with his pharmacist voiced by Lena Dunham (from HBO's Girls).
Also this season, Lisa will befriend a homeless woman who turns out to be an amazing singer. There is an episode that is based on the movie Boyhood. Sofia Vergara will play Bart's attractive new teacher Mrs. Berrera
Monday:
Dancing with the Stars: Season 21 premieres on September 14th @ 8 pm on ABC-- Len Goodman will not return as a regular judge this season, he is taking some time off, and appearing on the British edition of the show. Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough, and Bruno Tonioli all return as judges with Goodman set to guest judge every once and a while.
Andy Grammer is paired with Allison Holker
Alexa Vega is paired with Mark Ballas
Bindi Irwin is paired with Derek Hough
Chaka Khan is paired with Keo Motsepe
Paula Deen is paired with Louis Van Amstel
Hayes Grier is paired with Emma Slater

The Big Bang Theory: Season 9 premieres on September 21st @ 8 pm on CBS-- The show will have a "force awakens" inspired Star Wars episode. Penny and Leonard will tie the knot in the season premiere, but it will not be smooth sailing ahead for the long time couple, after all, Penny has commitment issues.
Also this season, a fun road trip for the guys to Mexico.
Supergirl: Series premiere on October 26th @ 8:30 pm on CBS-- Based on the DC Comic about Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El, Supergirl flash forwards to Kara at 24 years of age and still trying to keep her powers a secret. As a child, she was adopted by the Danvers family, she grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, and now she works alongside her friends IT Technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olson (sound familiar?) for a media mogul named Cat Grant. Things get even more complicated when Hank Henshaw, head of a secret agency where her sister works, enlists her help to protect the citizens of National City.
Supergirl will be played by Melissa Benoist of Glee, Mehcad Brooks of Desperate Housewives and Unnecessary Roughness will play James Olson, Calista Flockhart of Ally McBeal and Brother & Sisters will play media mogul Cat Grant, Jeremy Jordan from Smash will play Winn Schott, and lastly, from Grey's Anatomy, Chyler Leigh will play Kara's foster sister Alex Danvers. This is a solid cast, and I think if it was done correctly, and with some good consideration, this could be a great show.
The Voice: Season 9 premieres on September 21st @ 8 pm (Tuesday's at 8 pm also) on NBC-- Carson Daly is back as host alongside coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Pharrell. Selena Gomez, Missy Elliott, John Fogerty, and Brad Paisley will all serve as mentors this season.
Minority Report: Series premiere on September 21st @ 9 pm on FOX-- Based on the movies and the book, the series is about a precog (meaning someone who has the ability to see the future) named Dash who tries to prevent crimes before they happen. Dash was part of a pre crime unit along with his twin brother and sister before it was dismantled several years before. He is now using this gift to help Det. Lara Vega prevent crimes.

She is going to see the havoc she's wreaked on the lives of those who care about her, they've put their lives on the line all so Emily can avenge David's supposed death. Jack will be at the center of her reflection, especially now that her love Aiden is gone. David will not be who Emily or Victoria think he is.
