With most of your summer shows mid-season (Entourage, True Blood, Tosh.O, Jersey Shore) I felt the need to help you keep your DVR's full over the next few months.
So here is a list of 10 shows with August or September premiers you need to be watching.
I don't think I need to say anything here other than Kenny Fucking Powers. This may be the
funniest show HBO has put out in years. Only bad thing is the lack of episodes. Like season 1, season 2 will only be 6 episodes. For all of you who need your Kenny Powers fix, here's a video to hold you over:
2. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (Thursdays 10PM)- FX September 16
The funniest show on television returns for season #6. If you are late arriving to the Always Sunny train, where the hell have you been but don't worry you can jump on and feel and like you haven't missed anything. Summed up the best as Seinfeld on crack, Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Sweet Dee and Frank are back to bring the most ridiculous half hour on television..... MEEEEOOOWWW
3. Weeds (Mondays 11PM)- Showtime August 16
I must admit that I was late getting on board with Weeds, but thank God there's such thing as On Demand and Netflix which allowed me to catch up and become obsessed with this show. The most dysfunctional family on television is back and on the run from Mexican drug cartels. I'm pretty sure if it stays on course with the other seasons, season 6 will be nuts and unpredictable.
4. The League (Thursdays 10:30PM)- FX September 16
Anyone who was lucky enough to catch the first season of The League knows how hilarious this show is. A show based around 6 grown men and their fantasy football league may not sound funny off the bat, but trust me when I tell you it's much more than that. This season is about to be even bigger and better, 7 more episodes (13) and guest appearances by Joshua Cribbs, Terrell Suggs and Chad Ochocinco to name a few. For anyone in a fantasy football league, this show is a must.
The League Birthday Song <------ The Greatest Birthday song you will EVER hear
5. Conan O' Brien (Monday-Thursday 11PM)- TBS November 8
THE RETURN OF COCO. Ok I know this is supposed to be only August and September premiers, but I'm not sure if any show is higher on my anticipation list. Conan O'Brien returns to TV after almost 10 months and saves American from the agony that is the late night. With extra freedom and a larger budget on TBS, the anticipation for what Conan will/can do is sky high. For someone who is Team CoCo, November 8th can't come soon enough.
6. Boardwalk Empire (Sundays)- HBO September 19
Besides Hung, HBO really doesn't mess up to many shows, so taking your chances on a new series isn't too much of a risk. Set in Atlantic City during the Prohibition era, the show follows Nucky Thompson whose half politician half gangster. If your not sold yet, I'm pretty sure you will be after finding out the pilot was directed by Martin Scorsese.
7. S#*! My Dad Says (Thursdays 8:30PM)- CBS September 23
So I'm going out on a limb here picking this pilot, so if this show sucks and you watched it because of this post, well I am going to take full responsibility. I'm intrigued with a show based off the book and twitter feed by Justin Halpern (Shit My Dad Says) but it stars William Shatner. I am always down to give new shows a try, only skepticism I have is the content being edited but I'm still expecting good things.
8. Bored To Death (Sundays 10PM)- HBO September 26
I may be in the minority, but I was a fan of the first season of Bored to Death. For those who haven't seen it, the premise of the show is that Johnathon Ames (Jason Schwartzman) is an author who is enthralled by mystery novels and moonlights as an unlicensed Private Detective. Along with Schwartzman, the show stars Ted Danson and Hangover star Zach Galifinakis.
9. Hard Knocks: Training Camp With The New York Jets- HBO August 11 (Wed. 10PM)
This one may not reach out to as many people being that it's based around an NFL team, but if your intrigued by larger than life egos, professional athletes, a coach who challenges a NFL linebacker to a fight, and a potential Super Bowl contender then you must watch this show. Now I may be a little bias here since I am a Jets fan, but I have a feeling this season of Hard Knocks is going to be great. Not only do you have the NFL stars but you have Sexy Rexy Ryan, enough said.
10. Outsourced- NBC
I put this show on the list strictly because NBC has been doing well with new comedies lately, and multiple reports say it is supposed to be the Indian version of The Office. Look at the title and the plot is pretty much self explanatory. An American is sent to India to run the call center of a company that has outsourced. Like I said, due to NBC's past few shows I am willing to take my chances on this show.
You forgot about sons of anarchy, you n00b
ReplyDeleteHaha wow hate hate hate
ReplyDeleteHahaha the hate is acceptable. Sons of Anarchy is a dope show, but like I posted I have personal bias towards Hard Knocks because I'm a Jets fan. My post of Hard Knocks left a few shows out, but I expected some criticism!
