VERONICA'S PICK FOR NEW SHOW
The Firm (January 2012 (TBD) @ 10pm - Global/NBC)
The Firm is based on John Grisham’s novel of the same name and will star Josh Lucas as Mitchell McDeere (character played by Tom Cruise from the movie). The show will take place about 10 years from where the film and novel left off and follows the McDeere family as they return from the Federal Witness Protection Program only to find that old and new foes threaten their lives.
Why I’ll watch: Sweet Home Alabama.
ASHLEY'S PICK FOR RETURNING SHOW
Fringe (Sept 23 @ 9pm – FOX)
Starring: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble
Set in Boston, the FBI's Fringe Division was introduced when Special Agent Olivia Dunham enlisted institutionalized "fringe" scientist Walter Bishop and his globe-trotting, jack-of-all-trades son, to help in the investigation of unimaginable events and cases of multifaceted biomedical science.
Why I keep watching: Because the finale of last season BLEW MY MIND and I can’t even imagine what they’re going to do next. Fringe has been at risk of being cancelled almost every season, not because it’s a horrible show, but because it’s not a mainstream filler show that draws in the numbers. It’s smart. It’s complicated. It makes you think and makes you ask questions. Think of it as the good seasons of the X-Files on speed, it is that intense. Honestly, it will blow your mind.
For most people, the Labour Day Weekend signifies the end of Summer work hours and leisurely post work drinks on a busy patio. But for Veronica it means a few short weeks before the start of her absolute favorite sport, hockey, and more specifically her boys in blue, The Toronto Maple Leafs!
Yes, they haven’t won a cup since 1967 and haven’t made it the playoffs since the 2003-2004 season. They didn’t make it very far but they still made it. It is embarrassing and a bit sad, but rebuilding takes time. And with a slew of young, new talent, under the helm of Brian Burke, it’s only a matter of time before we return to our former glory. After all, the Leafs are the most valuable team in the NHL, that should count for something!
The boys take to the ice on Monday September 19th against the Ottawa Senators (boooo) at the ACC at 7pm. You can also watch on LeafsTV if you don’t want to spend money on watching a bunch of scrubs play hard for a spot on the roster.
ASHLEY'S PICK FOR NEW SHOW
2 Broke Girls (Premieres Sept 19 @ 9:30 – CBS)
Starring: Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs
Set in New York City, two waitresses in their twenties—Max, who comes from a poor working-class family, and Caroline, who was born rich but is now down on her luck—work together at a Brooklyn restaurant, become fast friends and build their dream of one day opening a cupcake shop.
Why I’m watching: Ever since Charlie Bartlett and Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, I’ve been a fan of Kat Dennings. She’s funny, she’s weird (and proud of it) and she can act. It’s refreshing to see her stand out among all the other wannabe actors her age. Not to mention this series was created by Sex and the City executive producer Michael Patrick King, which if nothing else, promises a little bit of sarcasm and a lot of sass.
VERONICA'S PICK FOR RETURNING SHOW
Glee (Premieres September 20 @ 8pm - Global/Fox)
I’m less excited for the return of Glee this time around. I was rather bored with the “storyline” behind season 2 and it’s become too predictable. We all knew New Directions was not going to win Nationals. Just as they didn’t win Regionals in season 1. Prediction? They’ll win Nationals in season 3, just so they can do a proper send off for Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith) who are now seniors at McKinley. The only hope I have for the show that I so adored in season one is Ryan Murphy’s promise to write a clearer storyline rather than fit a story around a chosen set of songs. The only character I’m truly excited to see again is of course Blaine (Darren Criss). He’s so dreamy.
Why I keep watching: My weakness is musicals. Anything set to song and lyrics has my attention.
