Shiny new "Harry Potter" trailer

We're less than two months away from the first part of the epic-looking Harry Potter finale. I just dare you to watch this trailer without getting goosebumps:

Part I of The Deathly Hallows opens on my birthday, November 19. Enjoy!

Fall TV premiere dates

The summer TV drought is almost over. The hilarious Herc from Ain't It Cool News recently posted the fall premiere dates for all your favorite TV shows. You can view them alphabetically or by date by clicking here.

The ones that are of interest to me, for those of you who are dying to know, are as follows:

• Survivor (CBS) Sept. 15 (now on Wednesdays)

• The Middle (ABC) Sept. 22
  

• Modern Family (ABC) Sept. 22
  

• The Office (NBC) Sept. 23

• 30 Rock (NBC) Sept. 23

• The Amazing Race (CBS) Sept. 26

• The Good Wife (CBS) Sept. 28

• Friday Night Lights (DirecTV) Oct. 27 (this won't show up on NBC until the spring...)

Of the new shows that are premiering, I can't say I'm overly interested in any of them. I'll watch the reviews and see if anything noteworthy emerges from the pack.

Enjoy!
