New Shows For The Fall Season

by Sofia Khan, staff reporter

Whether it’s tales of revenge, a fairy tale stuck in the real world, or a sitcom about socially awkward scientists, the fall lineup is one that will please all TV junkies.

Favorites like Revenge, Once Upon a Time and The Big Bang Theory return after their summer hiatuses. And new shows like The Mindy Project and Revolution are being gushed about.

“The show I am really excited about is The Vampire Diaries,” sophomore Brenda Montero said. “I like it because all the male leads are hot and all of them are good actors.”

TV lovers who are interested in comedies about people trying to navigate their personal lives might also be interested in the new comedy airing on Fox, The Mindy Project. The Mindy Project stars Mindy Kaling, an Emmy nominated writer/producer. Her character, Mindy Lahiri, is a 31-year old OB/GYN who is extremely content with her career, but unhappy with her personal life.

“I think she’s so confused with her life,” junior Iman Fadlalla said. “It’s so funny to watch her navigate it.”

People are also raving about Revolution; an adventurous, post apocalyptic, science fiction show airing on NBC. Created by Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams, it’s set 15 years after something unknown disabled all technology (cars, telephones, computers, etc.) in the world. It centers on the Matheson family, who have a special device that could possibly reverse the effects of what happened to the technology.

“It’s a unique show,” said junior Gianfranco Leto. “It’s something different to watch on tv.”
Whatever satisfies a tv junkie’s heart, the fall lineup is filled with a lot of variety sure to leave all satisfied.
