As the start of a new school year is finally here, so are new seasons of some of our favorite TV shows. September and October are prime times to get re-hooked on the characters we have all grown to love (or hate), and we are pulled even deeper into the romantic, funny, action packed or horrifying storylines. Fall doesn’t just begin a new season with the changing of the leaves; it also brings new shows to watch and more characters to talk about like friends.

There is never a dull moment when this doctor is in the house, and you will laugh along with her – and maybe at her – during this upcoming season.
