Hey, I made another gallery for you. This one has a bunch of fall shows “to be excited for.” But between you and me, some of these shows? You probably shouldn’t be that excited for them. I mean, not to name names, but I for one wouldn’t get too excited about SEAL Team or The Good Doctor, honestly.
In fact, my husband had a terrible idea for the blog: allow you people to choose one show that I would never otherwise watch and force me to blog it. After 18 years of marriage, you find creative ways to torture the other. So, I’m not promising anything, but below are the new shows (dramas) I know I would never otherwise watch. Which of them do you think I should hate-blog?
I’ll check back in on this in a week, and make a decision about this project one way or another. (Or possibly consult a divorce attorney.)
