Another fall television season has come and gone -- are you all enjoying the new series? Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the new shows, as well as my favorite returning series. Each fall, we're usually inundated with new shows, so this year was especially enjoyable since the majority of last year's series had earned a spot on the primetime schedule.

Many people have asked me which new series I liked best this fall. Since my taste in television varies a great deal, this isn't an easy question to answer. I could never narrow it down to one particular show because what I love about one series is completely different from what I find intriguing about another.....

My Pick(s) for the Best New Series: Fringe and 90210

As one who just can't seem to get enough sci-fi in my diet, Fringe had me hooked before the very first commercial aired. I've always loved the possibility of teleportation, reanimation, etc., so this series constantly grabs my attention and doesn't let go even after the final credits have flashed across the screen.

Back in the '90s, I was probably one of the biggest 90210 fans around. Through the years, I have continued to watch the reruns again and again. Sad fact is that 296 episodes were produced and I have watched each of them at least a half dozen times.... yes, the math is very scary, but at least I can consider myself a walking 90210 encyclopedia. Don't judge, it makes it much easier for me to be able to help viewers understand the brilliance behind the latest incarnation of my favorite zip!
