The 2014 Fall TV Season – What to Watch!

/ September 10, 2014

It has been a LONG summer of reruns! I’ve been busy binge re-watching episodes of The West WIng and The Newsroom – are you surprised?

I’ve even starting watching Breaking Bad.  It’s a good show, but I’m not totally into it.  We’ll see.

It’s that time – to prepare your DVR for all that is about to hit the air waves.  I’ve been busy watching previews of shows thanks to Hulu, and I’m ready to tell you what you should be watching this season.
