“Modern Family”

After winning seven Emmys for their first season, including Best Comedy, “Modern Family” is back for season two.

The sitcom follows the stories of three families, with each set of parents just trying not to mess their kids up too much. There’s Jay and his much younger wife Gloria, who are both raising Gloria’s son from a previous marriage, Manny.

Next are Jay’s grown daughter Claire, her husband Phil, and their three kids, Haley, Alex and Luke. There’s also Jay’s grown son Cam and his partner Mitchell, who have a new adopted daughter, Lily.

If you can keep up with that, tune in to ABC on Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m.

“My Generation”

There has been a lot of buzz around ABC’s new mockumentary series, mainly because the series is based and filmed in different locations around Austin. But if that’s not enough reason to watch, there is a storyline. The plot features a character from each stereotypical high school clique: The Nerd, The Beauty Queen, The Jock, The Wallflower and so on.

The show begins by showing the group in high school talking about their future, and then revisits them 10 years later.

Fun fact: a number of St. Edward’s University students were at the filming for the pilot, so keep an eye out. The series premieres on ABC on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m.

“The Office”

This season will mark the end of an era, or rather the end of Michael Scott. Steve Carell has confirmed with “E! News” that season seven will be his last. No word yet on how the writers plan to have Michael say goodbye, but Melora Hardin as Jan and Amy Ryan as Holly, two of Michael’s romantic flames, will both be making appearances at Dunder Mifflin. Michael Scott’s final year begins on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

“The Event”

The new hour-long drama, “The Event,” is a must-see for anyone who watched NBC over the summer, saw the commercials for the show, and thought, “What is this show?” So far NBC has been very vague, keeping the show’s plotline as suspenseful and mysterious as possible.

“The Event” is said to be a conspiracy thriller about the biggest government cover-up in history. If the show proves to be as secretive as the producers, “The Event” might be enough to fill the void left by “Lost.” The series premiere is on Monday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
