Can't believe fall shows are getting ready to start! I'm ready to see some of my favorites return, although it seems like most of my top shows still have a bit of a wait.

Another fun show I thought I would mention, but probably doesn't need to be on the list is Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. The season premiere is Tuesday September 9th on The Travel Channel.

Just a quick headsup about Life. Even though it's premiering on a Monday, it will eventually be moving to Friday nights as it's regular timeslot.
