Pretty Little Liars, aka the most addictive show of all time, is back tonight and it is kicking off a week that's celebrating the return of some of the shows to have ever graced a television screen (Skins, Jersey Shore, etc.)
In honor of this beautiful week of television that I'm about to experience. Here are some returning, and brand spanking new shows, that I'm looking forward to in the next few months.
- Skins: I'm talking about both the American and U.K. versions. The original Skins is in it's fifth seaso/series and it's back with a brand spanking new cast. This show is just plain amazing and brilliant and no matter what cast they are working with it just is unlike anything I've ever seen before. So raw, so real, so GOOD. The writing, directing, and acting is just a thousand times better than any other teen drama out there. The American version is either going to be a giant mess or it's going to change the way America makes shows for teenagers.
- Game of Thrones: This new series coming to HBO is based on one the best book series I've ever read and it's going to be unlike anything that's ever been on television. It deals with Kings and Queens and magic and dragons but it takes that to a whole other level with it's use of sex and violence. These characters are all so well rounded that it's hard to decide who is the hero and who is the villain.
- American Idol: A year ago I was convinced that since Simon was leaving this show so was I. And after Lee was crowned the winner I was convinced I was done with this show. Then they announced the new judges, Steven Tyler and J.Lo, and I was intrigued. THEN Nigel Lythgoe came back as a producer and he completely remodeled the structure of the show. After seeing some of the new promos that show J.Lo actually being inspirational and Steven Tyler being understandable I'm really intrigued.
- Justified: The best show you aren't watching. Timothy Olyphant is kicking ass so hard in this show that I can't even handle it.
- The Real Housewives of New York City: After having to sit through both Real Housewives of DC and Beverly Hills I'm ready for women that are actually worth watching. Even though Bethenny's gone the previews show Sonja finally getting some spunk and manning up to the other girls. Can't wait, I've missed these crazies.
- Jersey Shore: Speaking of crazies. New season, same guidos. Now there back at the actual Jersey Shore and back at everyone's favorite club, Karma. If anything tune into see Snooki's arrest.
