I’m always sad for the end of summer, but knowing we’re getting closer to my shows returning makes it more bearable. What are you looking forward to this fall TV season?
I’ve been diving right into Entertainment Weekly and reading up on all my returning shows. I’m most excited for Outlander returning September 10th. This season covers book 3, Voyager. I won’t spoil it for you. We left off with Claire realizing that Jaime did not die on the battlefield of Culloden, and she’s preparing to return and find him. It’s going to be quite the reunion! I am also super happy that they have already been granted a fourth season.
I also can’t wait for my fall comedies. I’m missing my weekly dose of Phil Dunphy in Modern Family, and channeling my inner 80’s child with The Goldbergs. Both returning September 27th.
Sticking with my favorite network, ABC, here are my returning of dramas; Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder. Although I’m not sure how much I’m going to like HTGAWM this season with Wes’s absence, I can’t just quit. I need to see where this show is going. I’m also interested in how they are going to end this FINAL season of Scandal. The past election season ruined this show for me. Now Grey’s never disappoints me (except when they killed McSteamy). It will be interesting to see how the entire dynamic is going to change with the arrival of Owen’s sister. Both Grey’s and HTGAWM return September 28th. Scandal returns October 5th.
Oh, I almost forgot Once Upon A Time on ABC. I’m feeling a bit apprehensive. There is a serious time jump and shift in the entire cast. I fear I’m losing some of my favorites here. They just better keep my Killian. The picture below is intriguing. Hook as Officer Rogers in Seattle. What is this all about? Returning October 6th, a Friday. Being moved to Friday night might mean the end of the story.
And the newest hit This is Us. Now I’ll be honest, I wasn’t even going to start watching this one, but I did…and now I’m hooked. The acting itself is just amazing. These guys are awesome! For most, it’s a sob fest…but I’m apparently immune. This is Us returns September 25th on NBC.
I’m also intrigued with NBC’s revamp of Will & Grace. I’ll have to check that out. I always LOVED Karen. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. High expectations here. September 28th.
Returning later this Fall…

I’m ready to pour my wine, hit my couch, and fold the laundry with my favorites. Are you?
