The Two Best New Shows on TV this Fall

I love TV. Mostly because, in college, it gives me about an hour everyday where I can kick back and relax for a bit before getting back to my hectic life. I have my usuals on my specific days. Mondays I watch The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother, most Thursdays I watch The Office. In the spring I'll watch Lost and American Idol.

But as you can see, this schedule has a few holes in it. Luckily, I have found the 2 best new shows in the fall lineup to fill the void.

Wednesday nights at 9 pm, FOX airs the smash hit Glee. This amazing new show is everything good TV should be, and I think the reson for it's appeal to me is its quirky humour that almost has a British edge to it. As someone who watches the BBC equal to the amount of American TV I watch, this appeals to me.
It also appeals to the music lover in me who enjoys, above all else, watching talented people perform. Lea Michele is the next great vocal performer and I can't wait to see what she does. The pilot is everything I love about this show, and I was pleased when this week's episode seemed to return to the things that made me love the show in the first place. The cast's vocal abilities are uncanny and the singles they keep putting out make me feel like I'm falling in love...because on some level, I am.

Thursday nights at 8 pm, ABC airs its new drama FlashForward. Why do I love it? Because it's everything that got me hooked on Lost before they turned it into a circus that I couldn't stop watching because I was too involved to leave (like a bad relationship).
FF returns to the question I wish Lost had continued to answer: "Where is the line between Fate and Coincidence?"
This show has me on the edge of my seat for an hour every week. During the premiere, I literally sat stone still for the entire episode without realizing (until it was over) that I hadn't moved in an hour. And just when I think it's going one way, it completely switches directions.
I know I have said it once before, but this show is what Lost should have been.

So that's it. These are the best two new shows on TV this fall. Glee has already received its full season order, and I really hope FlashForward recieves the same (because I HAVE to know what the heck is going on).
