There seems to be an overwhelming number of new shows that premiered this fall. But if you are having a hard time choosing between them all and which ones to invest in, look no further because I have chosen the top three. These three are so good that I have no doubts they'll each be picked up for a second season.
1. "Pitch"
This show is probably my favorite, not only as a new fall show, but as a favorite overall. Just like the main character Ginny Baker, this show is making history by being the first of its kind. The show follows Ginny as she gets called up by the Padres and becomes the first woman to play in the MLB. The show has something for everyone, even if you are not a fan of baseball but love rooting for the underdog. In the show, it seems that Ginny has a lot of people betting against her because...well...she's a girl in the majors. But it's empowering to see Ginny hold her own. Catch the show Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
2. "This is Us"
This show not only features an all-star cast including Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, but it will have you crying like no other primetime TV show has done before. The show follows Moore and Ventimiglia's characters set in the past while simultaneously following the story of their three children set in the present. The children call themselves "The Big Three" and the show follows each of them in their respective lives and careers. The show is a lot to keep up with, I'm not going to lie, but it is oh so worth it. Catch the show Tuesdays at 9 on NBC.
3. "Designated Survivor"
This show stars Kiefer Sutherland in an all too chilling, all too real scenario where he is named as acting President of the United States after an attack at the State of the Union Address which killed the President, Vice President, and most of Congress. Sutherland's character Tom Kirkman is a lower-level cabinet member who is the "Designated Survivor." The show not only centers on a scenario that is too scary to even imagine, but it is also unnerving to watch as kind-hearted Kirkman struggles to win over the people of America with the majority of the country against him. Simply put, Kirkman's sincerity and down-to-earth personality did not exactly prepare him to be the President of the United States. Again though, if you like rooting for the underdog, this one is for you. Catch it Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
