Fall TV Season

I'm looking forward to some new shows this fall, but there are also quite a few I've been hooked on for awhile. Here's a breakdown of what I'm interested in watching as of the present time. I will have to work magic with recording some and watching some On Demand or online, especially with having an exercise class 2 nights a week and whatever else comes up!

My Rating System:

**** (4 stars) - must watch; will record if necessary
*** (3 stars) - will make the effort to watch; might record
** (2 stars) - might watch; chance of lost interest; won't be devastated if missed
* (1 star) - will watch if I can; mostly non-serial or game shows; no upset if missed

~Note~ I've automatically given NEW shows 2 stars (**) because I have no idea if I'll stay interested.


Sundays

(Not really much of a Sunday-night-TV-watcher anymore...I can take or leave the ABC shows Desperate Housewives & Brothers and Sisters. I usually just watch The Food Network. So, we'll see...I can't wait for HBO's Entourage to come back next Spring!)

Mondays

Heroes (NBC)****
The Bachelor (ABC)**
CSI: Miami (CBS)****

Tuesdays

Dancing With The Stars (ABC)***
House (FOX)***
Law & Order: SVU (NBC)****
(ABC's Cavemen scares me, quite frankly...I liked the Geico commercials, but I think the TV show will ruin the charm!)

Wednesdays

[NEW] Pushing Daisies (ABC)**
Dancing With The Stars (ABC)***
[NEW] Kid Nation (CBS)**** [Saw the pilot last week]
Deal or No Deal (NBC)*
[NEW] Private Practice (ABC)**** [Saw preview last season]

For The Birds

I hate job hunting. Just when something was looking promising, it turns out I still have to wait...

I went on an interview yesterday for a position in the field of Education, although not teaching. Unfortunately the first training day is also the same day I have a screening interview with a very well-known (and well-paid) school district in the area. I can't miss the screening interview because it's my one shot at getting noticed in this district. So, that means I can't start the new job right away; it is broken down into project periods, so I have to wait for the first project to be finished since I can't train for it. Anyway, I have to wait about 4 weeks to be picked up for the second project. But, this is just my dumb un-luck.

When it rains it pours
....It's feast or famine...Boom or bust. I've got a thousand of these lines, but they all fit so perfectly.

In the meantime, I will keep searching out a teaching job, because ultimately that is still what I want to do. This is the hand life has dealt me right now, so I just have to roll with it.
