The most wonderful time of the year will be different to who you ask. It could mean back to school, back to schedules and no more nagging about being bored or what is there to eat. It could mean pumpkin spice season, or for a tv lover, it could mean the start of the fall tv season. I fall into the latter category.

Over the years I have developed quite a following from my social community as I post all of the shows and their start dates. I will preface this with the statement that these are the shows I watch, they may not be your tastes or what you watch. I do not watch The Bachelor/ette so do not ask me when that is starting.

After a pandemic affected season in 2020 and a limited season in 2021, it appears that all shows are back to regular scheduled programming.

My condo just switched from Rogers to Bell so in the next week or so, I will have to make a list of all the channels to find all my shows on as the Bell Channels make ZERO sense in my world. (I digress).

Dick Wolf and Wolf Entertainment will continue to fill my PVR schedule with three nights of shows each week. Of course I will continue to subscribe to Shondaland even though Grey’s should end already, but 17 years in, I can’t stop now.

If you have discussed TV with me (many of you have) you know that if I start a new show, I give it a two episode chance. The show Pivoting from last year didn’t even get 15 minutes of the 30 minute sitcom. That being said, out of the new shows I have seen previews for, the only one I “may” consider is Monarch, as it stars Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins.

This is the list I have compiled based on what I watched last season. Do not judge me. I don’t have netflix or prime, or apple tv. I have regular good ‘ole fashion network television (which I record so I can fast forward through commercials). I may need to subscribe to Peacock TV in the future as Bell does not have Slice in my package which means I cannot enjoy the Housewives train wrecks of Beverly Hills and New York.

Happy viewing,
