While we have a little hiatus from some of our Fall TV shows, there are some great Winter TV shows starting up in the next few days/weeks. Here are the previews of some of the shows I will be watching and a few I will cover on the blog:

January 5

The Bachelor (ABC)

Juan Pablo is the new bachelor and because of him we are celebrating “Juan-uary” this month. ABC is doing something different this season by having a variety of specials on the Sunday night before the show airs. This helpful calendar lets you know what is happening when:

Juan Pablo was on Desiree’s season of the Bachelorette (you can see Bachelorette recaps here) and who doesn’t love a man with an accent?

January 7

Cougar Town (TBS)

This is my absolute favorite show right now! I LOVE Cougartown! I can’t wait to cover this one on the blog and find a giant wine glass to drink out of while watching it. Hooray to Season 5!

January 19

The Following (FOX)

John and I watch this show together and it couldn’t be creepier but we love it. You never know what is going to happen next. I wouldn’t recommend watching it before bedtime though. Now that Joe Carroll is presumably dead, I’m guessing that Emma (Valorie Curry) is going to pick up where he left off.

January 25

Black Sails (STARZ)

This one caught my fancy as it is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, following the adventures of a young John Silver as he joins the crew of Captain Flint. Plus I love pirates…and Michael Bay is the executive producer so you know it will be good.

February 24

Dallas (TNT)

Picking up where we left off after J.R. Ewing’s death it will be interesting to see how John Ross and family pick up the pieces in Season 3. I got caught up with this show last year and it is awesome!

February 26

The Americans (FX)

John and I started watching this and got about halfway through. I really want to get caught up so we can watch Season 2 – mostly because I love Keri Russell in this!

What shows will you be watching this winter? What are you most looking forward to? Let me know if there are other shows you think I should check out and which shows you want me to recap.
