So excited for the return of all of these shows and for some new ones!!
this helps so much to keep track of my shows
This is a really useful list! I have to say though, the one I’m
Most excited about is watching Supernatural season TEN (Demon Dean – do I have to say more?!). I also can’t wait to find out what happens in Arrow – that season 2 final was epic! 😀
I’ve watched the reruns over and over and I am so ready to watch season 5.
So many of these are my absolute favorites and there are some that I haven’t seen yet. This post is a great reminder of the new shows that I want to watch. A few series fell flat for me last season but ended with great potential, I hope they have a better season this time.
