So what new shows (or new seasons) are on your dvr?

I have so much stuff on my dvr, it would take several days/weeks to get caught up.

The Following
Continuum
The Americans
Golden Boy
Bates Motel
Top of the Lake
Walking Dead
Last Resort (the finale- haven't made myself watch it yet)
Vikings
The Hour (2nd series)

Finally finished Ripper Street- so good!

I'm about to give birth, so maybe I can catch up on maternity leave...I watch way too much tv...

Sunday:
The Walking Dead - AMC (soon to be replaced by Mad Men, also AMC)
Vikings - History Channel (awesome fun historical drama about... vikings!)
Once Upon a Time - ABC (seriously fun, fairy tale fluff from 2 of the writers of LOST)
Shameless - Showtime - Showtime (was Downton Abbey - PBS, and soon to be replaced by Game of Thrones - HBO)
Girls - HBO (just had season finale, though)

Monday:
Continuum - Syfy (like the twisty time-travel plot)

Revolution - NBC (post-techno-apocalyptic stuff)

Tuesday:
Justified - FX (one of my favorite shows)
Smash - NBC (hubby likes it, and it's a fun soapy thing about Broadway)

Wednesday:
The Americans - FX (another of my fave shows)
Nashville - ABC (hubby likes this, too -- soapy show about country singers)

Thursday:
The Vampire Diaries - The CW (my guilty pleasure)
Person of Interest - CBS (because it stars Michael Emerson and I love him)
Elementary! - CBS (fun Watson & Sherlock detective show)
Glee - FOX (daughter got me hooked on this a long time ago)

Friday:
Grimm - NBC (another procedural, but it's fun)
Spartacus: War of the Damned - Starz (another that hubby likes, but soon to be replaced by Da Vinci's Demons - Starz)
Touch - FOX (I really liked this show, but think it's gonna be cancelled)

Nothing Saturday

Upcoming in April:
Game of Thrones - HBO (mentioned above - our family's favorite show) - premieres 3/31

The Americans is really good and it got picked up for a second season.
Major Crimes will be starting its second season in June
The Newsroom will be starting it's second season in June
Scandal is very good and in its second season

I'm starting to lend preference to the cable shows now over the ones on the big networks. The reason being is the shows are canceled or they are ruined.

USA and TNT put out some fun, amazing shows. Psych has me in tears every week, Suits is extremely well written and Major Crimes is the best crime show going these days.

Please keep me/us updated on any I missed or any new ones that haven't shown up yet. Also if you hear of any actual premiere dates I'd appreciate a holler. I'll do the same.

You like many other shows that I don't watch but other DUers love so I'm sure everyone would be happy to have those added to the 'watch for list'. If you think it's a good idea maybe you could copy my list and start a OP if you want add to it. That list is kinda hidden down in the original thread. I don't know, just a thought What say you?

Edit to add: You can pm me if you want

maybe we should do a pinned thread that we adjust as the season(s) go. For example, we're now getting into the spring/summer 2013 season we could add to a pinned thread all those new shows and when fall comes around we could add. We would put the season finale dates as well. Once they pass we start over with the next season and premiere dates.

Does that make sense? I'm sending you a pm about something...

I think making that list it's own OP is a good idea I just think pinning it so it doesn't sink and it can be edited would be good...
