I'm more excited about this season than I have been the last couple of years. I'm adding 13 new shows, but two of them don't count because they've been on before: Will and Grace and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Looking forward to the return of both of those.
Last season I added 10 new shows, and five of them lasted. Insecure aired this summer and was great and Atlanta is coming back at some point. For the fall, the others include This is Us, Speechless, and Better Things (love!).
The show I was most looking forward to (and just finished watching) is This Is Us. It's such a good show.
The show I'm most dubious about is Ghosted. I'm watching because I love Adam Scott, but I read a really bad review of the show. I'll give it a couple of rounds and then decide.
Other new shows include Ten Days in the Valley, which I'll watch because, Kyra Sedgwick. I'll be watching 9JKL to 1) figure out what the title means, and 2) Mark Feuerstein. White Famous looks funny. Law & Order - Menendez Murders is on my list because of Edie Falco. I just saw a few minutes of it and see that Joel from Parenthood is in it too, so, BONUS! Kevin (Probably) Saves the World has Jason Ritter--I really like him too. The actors and actresses are really what is drawing me in this year. Star power!
I'm disappointed that black•ish is no longer on Wednesdays and that they moved American Housewife to Wednesdays. That was one of my new shows last season, and though I like the lead actress, I didn't care for the show. BUT, it looks like black•ish will be a good lead-in for The Mayor which is about a rapper who runs for office to promote his album but then actually wins. It's gotten good reviews, so here's hoping it works out.
The biggest surprise on my list is Young Sheldon. I watched the first couple episodes of The Big Bang Theory when it first started, and it just wasn't my thing. Something about Young Sheldon intrigues me though--a lot of it is 80s/90s nostalgia, and aslo, I like the little kid who was in Big Little Lies.
So, that's the scoop. If there's anything else I should be watching, please let me know!

i'm so curious which ones you liked, and which ones are still on. i haven't heard of several- like ghosted. we actually came across that "american housewife show" while in asheville and watched a lot all at once b/c we didn't have many options and i actually LOVE it now. the boy on the show is hilarious. it's pretty funny, especially for network tv. and unlike SO MANY, it actually hasn't been cancelled yet. is "kevin" still on? is it good?
