As the leaves begin to turn brown and pumpkin themed delicacies and beverages are added on the menu, it’s time to get rid of your summer closet and get ready for fall. The transition from summer to fall might be a little difficult for some, but there is one way that can help to get into the fall spirit: TV shows. Along with food and music, many TV shows can aid us in getting through the transition of the seasons. Here is a list of classics that will get you ready for this season.
Coming in first, as a fall staple, is none other than Gilmore Girls. Set in a fictional small town, Stars Hollow, this show follows the lives of a teenage girl named Rory and her mom, Lorelai. The town itself portrays a fall wonderland with its charming mom and pop stores, as well as the multicolored trees that scream fall. Over the years, the character Rory has become a pop culture icon due to her style and kind attitude. There have been many attempts in the media to replicate her clothing style and romanticized attitude towards school. Due to her academic accomplishments, many viewers are motivated to take school as seriously as Rory. Not only does Gilmore Girls put students in the fall mood, but the show also motivates viewers to do well academically. Thus making it the perfect show to watch during the fall time.
Another must-watch for fall is the early 2000s hit teenage drama, Gossip Girl. This show follows privileged teens living in New York City. It depicts the glamorous lives of these teenagers and is known for its drama and fashion. This show has a number of episodes that wowed viewers with its over-the-top scenes and rivalries. Yet, one in particular takes the cake for being the most dramatic. “The Treasure of Serena Madre” Season 3, Episode 11 has become one of the most infamous episodes in not only Gossip Girl but also in modern television history. The drama that ensues in this episode has become not only an internet phenomenon but a trend. Therefore, if you are looking for the perfect fall drama, then Gossip Girl is your match.
Last in our lineup – just in time for Halloween – is a newly produced show, Wednesday. This show follows the character, Wednesday Adams, as she navigates a new school and investigates a devious murder. With many twists and turns, this show lets us see Wednesday in a newer light, though with the original eeriness of her time-honored character. It also not only showcases the fall season with its cold stone building and fallen buildings, but also features a love triangle between characters. As we approach Halloween, this show might not be a bad idea to put on your list of must-see shows in spirit of this beloved holiday season.
With our return to school, and the return of our massive yearlong workload, some may be dreading this new school year. Nonetheless, TV shows are a great way to help us not only wind down but to motivate us to push through challenges.
