Upcoming: TV

There are a lot of things to be excited about in the fall; oversized sweaters, apple picking, and pumpkin carving somehow find their way into all social media as soon as the leaves turn orange. Perhaps even more exciting, however, is the fresh new roster of TV shows that will soon dominate your computer screens on Saturday nights. Below are some of the most anticipated TV shows premiering this fall!

This Is Us - Premiering September 20, 2016:

Starring Milo Ventimiglia (“Gilmore Girls”) and Mandy Moore (“A Walk to Remember”), “This is Us” follows a group of five characters with the same birthday. Praised to be NBC’s next big hit, “This is Us” has already garnered a 100% “certified fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes—be sure to catch it when it comes out!

Pitch - Premiering September 22, 2016:

“Pitch” tells the story of Ginny Baker, an aspiring Major League baseball player who becomes a pitcher for the San Diego Padres (and becomes the first woman in the league as well). With “Twisted” alum Kylie Bunbury starring, Pitch offers another empowering female role model for our screens.

Timeless - Premiering October 3, 2016:

Creators Eric Kipke (“Supernatural”) and Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”) bring to the table an oldie but goodie. With leads Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter and Malcolm Barrett, “Timeless” follows the characters in their quest to stop a criminal who recently stole a time machine with the intent to change American history (Goran Visnjic). While the premise sounds like most other sci-fi TV, Kipke’s superb work on “Supernatural” makes us optimistic for this upcoming show.

The Good Place - Premiering September 19, 2016:

Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars, “Frozen”) plays Eleanor Shellstrop in NBC’s upcoming TV show “The Good Place.” After getting hit with a tractor carrying products for erectile dysfunction, she finds herself in heaven after getting mistaken for another woman—a human rights lawyer. Surrounded by people who don’t drink, swear or lie, Eleanor works with her “mentor” Michael (Ted Danson) to become a better person in her afterlife. Fans of “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” should look forward to this one—Michael Schur, co-director of “Parks and Recreation” and writer for “The Office,” directs the show, which will be sure to bring lots of good laughs and tears.

We are also anticipating Brooklyn Nine-Nine (September 20), Grey’s Anatomy season 13 (September 22), How to Get Away With Murder (September 22), Bob’s Burgers (September 25), Jane the Virgin (October 17) and Gilmore Girls (November 25 on Netflix).

Happy watching!
