Hey everybody! If you can’t tell, we’re pretty much on coast around here until the weekend. We’re soaking up the calm before the storm since we knocked out some big projects. Lisa and I are super excited about the return of some of our favorite television shows. In reality, we’re watching all of these on Hulu+ and not actually on our TV. Same thing though, right?
1. 30 Rock. We started watching this show while Lisa was on her maternity leave. About five years late to the party, we really took to this show. Liz Lemon gets quoted a lot around here. What the what? She’s also originally from the Philly area and has dropped some Flyers and Bobby Clarke references on the show before. Really looking forward to this one.
2. Community. We started watching this show while waiting for 30 Rock to resume and I was shocked at how funny it is. I personally think Community is actually funnier than 30 Rock. The humor is a little less subtle, but very clever. Every character on this show brings a unique comedic flavor that usually leaves Lisa and I in stitches. The cast is brilliant. This is another show we started watching late. We picked it up on Hulu after season three and quickly blew through every episode. The school dean is a riot and we pretty much quote him all day long. “Sweet Deans.”
3. The New Girl. This was one of those shows that Lisa checked out. She was hooked after the first episode. Halfway through the first season I started watching it with her. Very good show. The cast has great chemistry and the episodes are always fun stories. The characters are all in their mid to late twenties, are approaching the “you should be married by now” age and are dealing with their respective places in life. After a couple episodes you’ll get attached to the cast and start rooting for them. We recommend it.
4. The Mindy Project. Not going to lie. I’ve only seen one episode. Lisa’s watched two so far. It’s hugely funny. Mindy Kaling has a sharp biting wit that’s refreshing and most definitely worth watching. I think it’s brand new. Check it out.
Honestly, we don’t watch a ton of TV. We’ve mainly watching a show here and there before bed with an iPad. These four shows will definitely be on our radar though this fall along with the occasional Modern Family and Happy Endings now and then.
Are you looking forward to any shows this fall??
I love New Girl as well! I hadn't heard of the other three though (well, actually 30 rock sounds familiar but I've never watched it). I'll have to check them out.
I watch a lot of TV shows (really, a lot!) but almost always while I work out so I don't feel like I'm wasting a ton of time with TV, haha.
Watching while working out is a great idea. Sometimes I do feel like I\’m wasting time when I watch TV.
I didn't realize the Mindy Project had aired yet (#fail) so I'll have to catch up with it on Hulu! The other three shows, I love them! I didn't expect to like the New Girl but I'm laughing every time I watch it. I'm so sad that Community & 30 Rock are only getting half seasons this year (maybe NBC will change their minds??).
We caught the Mindy Project on Hulu, so it may not have aired yet. So bummed about the half seasons.
Nice picks. I enjoy those a lot (except the Mindy Project which I haven't seen). Love the characters on New Girl. You're completely right, I do find myself rooting for them. I love Happy Endings as well. It seems to take itself a lot less seriously than other shows.
Thanks Joseph. You\’re right about Happy Endings.. very light show. You\’ll be pleasantly surprised by the Mindy Project.
I love New Girl!! I am always laughing out loud at that show. Very amusing! I must admit I haven't watched the others but will have to check them out!
I love The Mindy Project! She is seriously hilarious. Every time I see her I think of The Office, and that is another good one. Although I don't watch it too much anymore. Hulu is great!
I'd say I don't watch much tv but I watch it all on the DVR which makes it seem like less. We are big fans of all of these except Community. We watched the first two seasons but it just got too weird for us after that.
I need to research new stuff for fall. Mindy is totally on my list. You all should read her book. I died.
Community is most definitely a weird show. You\’re not streets ahead though if you don\’t watch season 3.
I\’ll tell Lisa about Mindy\’s book.
Love Community! It's our favorite show, so bummed it's ending after this short season!
Pretty much these are the shows I watch too! Except Mindy… never heard of it but will remember to check it out!
The Mindy project is my favorite show…
