I have now watched all of Seinfeld. I enjoyed it very much, and thought of

cakesy a lot, as she is the person I associate most with Seinfeld. I love Elaine. I watched so much all together that by the end I was sympathising with George. I don't get Kramer. I mean, I sort of see what he does there, but I don't like him. So many things I recognised as jokes, and knew that they were from Seinfeld, and now I finally know why they're funny! Other than through repetition. I don't know what to watch now. Well, I have a series of Felicity left, but I don't know what I'm going to watch and actually enjoy now. I watched a series of Grounded for Life (David DeLuise is in an episode), but am insufficiently bothered to get hold of the rest of it.

But regular TV comes back later this month! I have given up on Bones entirely, not so much because of the baby (but really), but because the episodes I watched from this series had no idea what to do about the baby. Sadly Make It or Break It has been wrested away from us prematurely. The last series was a noticeable drop, but still. Sasha came back! I can almost forget that time he called Emily a dog to motivate her.

But look! Lots of other things are coming back, and there will only be Tuesday nights that I don't have something from the night before to watch.

Sun
- Homeland (September 30)

Tues
- Go On (Sep 11)
Matthew Perry's wife has died, and he is too good for the support group that his work makes him go to. They aired the pilot this summer, and I quite enjoyed that. Perry might get annoying very quickly though.

- New Girl (sep 25)
(Ugh. I hate that it sucked me in to the extend that I'm planning to watch this properly. I downloaded the first series when I had nothing else on, and I still mostly hate Jess and her whole quirky thing, but I like the boys.)

- Raising Hope (October 2)

- Bitch in Apartment 23 (Oct 23)
(I'm hoping for more 90s teen stars to pop up playing nasty versions of themselves as well as James Van Der Beek. He was in Franklin and Bash, so maybe Mark Paul Gosselar could come along?)

- Happy Endings (October 23)

Weds
- The Middle (Sept 26)
- Modern Family (Sept 26)

Thurs
- Parks and Recreation (Sep 20)
- Up All Night (Sep 20)
- Big Bang Theory (Sep 27)
(I wasn't enjoying this almost at all by the end of the last series, but not enough to give it up entirely. I shall see how this goes, though - pretty sick of lots of it.)

- Always Sunny in Philadelphia (October 11)
(Another show I watched all of over this summer and got sucked into.)

Fri
- Community (Oct 19)

Coming back in 2013
- Girls
- Cougar Town
- The Middle
- Psych
- Game of Thrones
- Nurse Jackie
- Veep
- Smash

And of course there are lots of new things to try. Some look too bad for even me to attempt, but there are still plenty to be going on with.

- Partners
Sort of an odd couple thing? Friends who are opposites in every way are also partners in an architecture firm.

- How to Live with your parents (2013)
Sarah Chalke as an uptight divorced mother.

- Ben and Kate (sep 25)
Brother and sister are opposites. I imagine that this probably doesn't actually get incesty, but that is what leaps to mind.

- The Mindy Project (sep 25)
Mindy Kaling is a doctor and has a life "like Bridget Jones". This doesn't bode particularly well. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen Mindy Kaling in anything other than maybe an episode of the Office once or twice, but people on the internet seem to like her a lot so I seem to have absorbed that and my brain thinks of course I like her too. Maybe I just want to be in with the cool kids.

- New Normal (sep 11)
A woman becomes a family's surrogate. There is a precocious eight year old, which fills me with slight horror.

- The Neighbors (sep 26)
A family move to a place where everyone else is a secret alien. Jami Gertz, who has been in TWO films with Peter DeLuise, is the star. I don't think they're friends and he's likely to show up, but I can still have the memories while I watch it.

- Guys With Kids (Sep 26)
Three thirty-something men must raise their infant children despite the absence of their wives, as one of them is divorced <- this is the synopsis from wikipedia, which makes no sense. They all have to raise their infant child alone because one of them is divorced? Whatever, it will get an episode's worth of attention from me at least.

- Last Resort (Sep 27)
The captain of a navy boat refuses to follow some bad orders, so the entire crew is declared persona non grata and are sort of enemies of the state, maybe on a desert island.

- Malibou Country (fri nov 2)
Reba McEntire is cheated on and moves to Malibu to restart her music career.

- 1600 Penn (in 2013 sometime?)
Wacky family in the White House. Sounds a little dreadful.

And OH I am sad about UKNova. My ratio is no good at the other place, so I will have to make a concerted effort to be able to use it regularly.
