Watch Me
I'm completely producing a cheap knock-off of tvfan's latest blog here, but here are the shows I'm planning on watching this new season (which I can't believe starts in like two weeks!)

90210
Airs Tuesdays at 8pm on CW
Premieres September 2
Cast Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, Lori Loughlin, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth
This is undoubtedly gonna be major garbage, but the presence of Shannen Doherty is enough to make me tune in for a while. But with actors of questionable talents (Nip/Tuck's Eden, for one) and a whole bunch of lies, sex and Scientologists in its cast of characters, this could be the most addictive trashfest of recent times. Who knows?

Dollhouse
Airs Mondays at 8pm on Fox
Premieres January 2009
Cast Eliza Dushku, Tahmoh Penikett, Olivia Williams, Fran Kranz, Harry Lennix
How can anybody not watch this show? A great cast, and a complete genius behind the scenes. The only worry is that its on Fox and the confusing premise, which could potentially alienate audiences. It could be a break-out hit, or it could be another Firefly.

Eleventh Hour
Airs Thursdays at 10pm on CBS
Premieres October 9
Cast Rufus Sewell, Marley Shelton
I'm only tuning into this for Marley Shelton, who I love and is completely underrated by the way. The premise isn't exactly groundbreaking, while the show's been getting nothing but negative buzz since it shot the pilot. Still, love Marley.

Fringe
Airs Tuesdays at 9pm on Fox (two-hour pilot at 8pm)
Premieres September 9
Cast Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Kirk Acevedo, Lance Reddick
Whatever the promo campaign tells me, I don't think this will be TV's equivilant of the second coming, but I'll still give it a try. Although neither the cast or the guys behind it (shocking, I know, but JJ Abrams doesn't exactly inspire confidence) really interest me. Still, it's a monster-of-the-week show, and I like that.

Kath & Kim
Airs Thursdays at 8:30pm on NBC
Premieres October 9
Cast Molly Shannon, Selma Blair, John Michael Higgins
I've never seen the Australian show this sitcom is based on, but I think it's hilarious that two overly uglied-up actresses have been transplanted to the USA played by two gorgeous ladies in Molly Shannon and Selma Blair. That's Hollywood for ya! This show has gotten some negative buzz so far, but I love both leads, so I'll judge for myself when I see the first episode.

Life on Mars
Airs Thursdays at 10pm on ABC
Premieres October 9
Cast Jason O'Mara, Harvey Keitel, Gretchen Mol, Michael Imperioli, Lisa Bonet
I was never going to watch this originally (the story doesn't really interest me), but the fact that ABC managed to get together such a great cast intrigued me. But, yeah, the storyline doesn't exactly blow me away so far. And the '70s location could either get old fast or become too campy for its own good. I'll at least tune into the pilot.

My Own Worst Enemy
Airs Mondays at 10pm on NBC
Premieres October 13
Cast Christian Slater, Saffron Burrows, Madchen Amick, Alfre Woodard, James Cromwell
The premise is overly confusing and Bourne Identity-lite, but the appealing cast is enough to make me tune in, at least for the pilot. Could it be the next big spy show, or will it leave me as cold and frozen as Christian Slater's overly-Botoxed forehead?

Sadness
I was saddened this week to hear about Christina Applegate's double masectomy. It's tragic that she had to go through that, but if she thinks it's the best thing for her then we should all just support her. I saw her in Sweet Charity a couple of years ago, and she was really awesome, and in general she just seems like a really sweet lady.
