2008-2009 - Best TV season evaaaar?
I’ll admit I’m a bit more susceptible to hype than most of my snarky, ennui-filled contemporaries, who are all so smart and above it all — but come on. You have to admit that, from this distance, the fall season looks like a family-style plate of awesome-stuffed awesomes with a light drizzle of awesome sauce.
Consider:
New Alan Ball show… about friggin’ vampires!
New David Milch show… about friggin’ Serpico!*
New Joss Whedon show… about, like, brainwashed spies or something!
New JJ Abrams show… also about spies, I think!
Second season of SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES… co-starring Shirley Manson??!??!?!??!?!! (OMGOMGOMGOMG)
Plus new seasons of PUSHING DAISIES, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, PSYCH (just discovered this one — thanks, James!), BIG LOVE, HOUSE, and ALWAYS SUNNY.
Holy smokes! My TiVo is going to explode in a shower of beauty and wonderment!!! Should not yours, as well? (Hint: it should.)
ADDENDUM: Commenter ProgGrrl points out that LAST OF THE NINTH, DOLLHOUSE, and BIG LOVE aren’t scheduled to air until (at least) January. Thanks!
* [Okay, JFC was a bit of a disappointment. Fine. But after DEADWOOD I'll pretty much follow that guy anywhere. Besides, the new show is about corrupt NYPD cops in the 1970s. Deep in dude's comfort zone. Milch + cop show + semi-fictional period piece = I'mma watch that shit.]

*here via random Milch googling*
Yes! I am so excited about this fall TV…especially, dare I say it, FOX and all their scifi.
Just wanted to point out to you though: the Milch show hasn’t even started shooting, so it would probably not show up on air till midseason at the soonest.
Whedon’s new show is airing in Jan 09 for sure. But for a new fix, there’s DOCTOR HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG, which debuts on your interwebs TODAY. Free! (Only till Sunday!)
Big Love got strike-delayed and I believe I’ve read that it too airs early next year.
But…STILL. TO MUCH AWESOMENESS!
