I try not to overload but some purely entertaining TV or a good chick-lit novel is something I consider essential to my well being and personal development. If you defer all gratification, you’ll lose momentum! Now that the Fall TV season is about to start I’m noticing my viewing habits have changed in the last year. I’ve cleaned house on my entertainment schedule and I think I’ll be reading and doing more instead. I thought it would be fun to share what I’ll be watching this Fall:

What’s in:

• Lie to me – love those moments when they show real-life images of people demonstrating facial cues
• Bones – a little gruesome but I identify with the hyper-academic who’s utterly clueless about relationships
• Royal Pains – I confess to having a fondness for foreign men who know more than they say so I watch this one for the character Boris- I’m hoping they don’t write him off…
• Sporadic viewing of Project Runway – not worth staying up for but sometimes I catch the reruns while doing laundry

What’s out:

• Mad Men – it’s down to where everyone is unhappy and no hope in sight. Life neither was nor is  ever quite that bad
• Biggest Loser – I’m bored with the campy product placement and really irritated with the phrase ‘if I were thin, I’d have a boyfriend’
• So You Think You Can Dance – they’ve gotten too good, there’s less drama now

On the fence:

• Glee – could go either way, we’ll just have to see
• Drop Dead Diva  – cute so far but could get old fast
• Cash & Treasures – if they move back into the realm of the possible I’ll be an avid fan but I’m unlikely to go emerald hunting on Colombia
• Real Housewives Atlanta – I don’t know why I started watching and why it was this one but there it is – I may break the habit shortly…
