the boob tube - week of premieres

 It's that time of the year again.  

Season Premiere Week!!

SO exciting!!

This year I will be watching a few old favorites.
As well as, some that I caught up with over the summer and will be watching "live" for the first time.
Oh and, of course, there are a couple of brand, spanking new shows that I will be tuning into also.

Below is my "to watch" list for the beginning of this television season.
There is definitely a scheduling conflict during a few of the time slots (see Wednesday from 8-9pm), so I will definitely be using the power of the interwebz to stay on top of some of these.
All times are central standard time.

the boob tube - modern family

After the birth of Baby L, the hubs and I were trying to decide on a tv show to watch during those long bouts of sitting on the couch with a newborn. The winner turned out to be Modern Family.



We have both heard about this show in the past (nothing but good things), but had yet to give it a go ourselves. Hulu Plus has the entire second season available for instant streaming right now, so that is where we started.

Within about 4 days we were completely finished with the second season. That is just how much we adored this show. Not an episode passed where we were not cracking up, several times. This show is totally quotable, re-watchable, and there are so many things that happen that remind me of my family or others that I know.

After we hurried through the second season, the hubs bought a digital copy of the first season for us to watch. We tried to pace ourselves through that season, but we were again done in less than a week. Now we are just anxiously awaiting September and the beginning of the third season.

One of my favorite characters is Phil Dunphy. He is the dad in the more "traditional" (i.e. father, mother, and three kids) family of the three families showcased.
Here is one of my all time favorite clips from Modern Family. It, of course, features Phil.



And then there is this one where Claire is stuck in the bathroom after an earthquake. This episode was HILARIOUS!!



And, of course, who could forget Mitchell surprising Cam by dancing in a flash mob?!



So, if you haven't given Modern Family a go, I most definitely suggest you do. You won't be sorry!

For those of you who are already Modern Family fans, what are some of your favorite moments from the show?
