Fall TV: but still no Mad Men ... son of a ...

The new TV season is upon on us and still no new Mad Men episodes ... sad, just sad.

The good news, I've been able to find a few other things in life beyond TV to replace Mad Men but I'm kinda tired of fresh air, exercise and I could really use some quality time with Roger Sterling and Don Draper. Oh well, until then, here are some sure bets (or tremendous fails) for TV this fall: 

1. Whitney:  New NBC show featuring some guy and his annoying girlfriend ... do we need a sitcom for the bachlorette? 
2. Kate Plus 8: Not so much new as its finally over. Wonder what Kate is going to do next? I'm looking forward to her checking my ID at Kroger and her kids bagging my groceries. 
3. H8R:  CW show where fans confront celebs they hate.  If this were real, it would be the greatest show ever. Imagine a real celebrity death match ... too bad that only happens in Syria. 
4. New season of Archer:  Might be the funniest cartoonish show to hit TV since South Park. If you don't watch it, then I bet you are voting for Obama.
5. Glee: Yup ... another new season.  I admit, I liked Season One but then I started watching the Deadliest Catch instead and now hate it. 
6. Walking Dead:  Love a show that's filmed in my building and outside of my office. There are days when I'm not sure if I'm watching Walking Dead or there really are zombies wandering around my building.
7. Karoke Battle: As if America's Got Talent wasn't bad, now we have Karoke battle. Sweet. Nothing says amazing TV like listening to a bunch of drunks slaughter Journey and Bon Jovi.  
8. Up All Night: Rumor has it, this show is amazingly funny. 
9. Amazing Race:  Yeah, its not new, but is always a great show.  I've considered doing this with my dad or some friends, but since neither know how to read a map or have any sense of direction, then I think the show is out. Course, I would want to be known as the first Amazing Race guy that gave up on day on and took the camera crew into a bar. 
10. Paradise Hotel:  I made that up ... but wouldn't it be amazing if that show came back? Wonder what Keith is doing these days?

I'm still waiting on AE to combine the Bacholorette finale and Shark Week as well as the new 90210 and Walking Dead. Regardless, life just isn't the same without Mad Men and I'm in hopes the show comes back in early 2012.  But let's be honest, as long as the politicans stay away from our prime time TV, all will be fine.

Now if we can only find a way to get Roger Sterling back sooner ...
