OK, which of the new shows have you hooked?

We enjoyed the Suburgatory pilot. And Whitney and Up All Night were given the thumbs up by NBC for the season. Based on what we’ve seen so far, we agree that they’re fun additions to our TV lineup.

As for dramas, Shannon has good reviews for Prime Suspect and Person of Interest. Gwen has been tuning in to watch Pan Am, Unforgettable and Revenge. And we’re both big fans of The Good Wife on CBS, which is now in its third season.

You probably heard that The Playboy Club was canceled after only three shows. Apparently, the viewer numbers were low and a very vocal group of people opposed this show’s link to a pornographic brand.

Simon Cowell’s new show The X Factor got lots of hype but we were not impressed with the first episode. It was painful to watch, so it’ll have to get a lot better before we give it any more of our free time.

If you haven’t found any new shows you like yet, the good news is that there are still a few more shows to debut. For those of you who liked the first season of The Walking Dead, the new season starts Oct. 16 on AMC. (Note that this show is definitely NOT for kids.)

The new drama Grimm (inspired by Grimm’s Fairy Tales) will debut on Oct. 28.

Once Upon a Time, a modern fairytale from two of the writers of Lost, will debut on ABC on Sunday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m.

And here are a few shows that aren’t new this season but are still worth some TV time, if you ask us.

• Parenthood
• The Good Wife
• House
• The Big Bang Theory
• How I Met Your Mother
• Mike and Molly
• The Middle
• Modern Family
• Grey’s Anatomy
• Private Practice

We are so stoked that The Help is officially out in movie theatres, starting tonight! We’ve already got our tickets in hand in case it sells out.

We both LOVED the book and we were definitely not alone. It was a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon and got tons of buzz online and in book clubs across the country. It’s a thick book, but it reads FAST. Have you read it yet?

The mamas are curious to see how closely they stick to the story line. We tend to whine about how the book  is always better than the movie, but we’re really excited to see some of these characters literally come to life.

Here’s a blurb from the official movie site: “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s,  who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk.

From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed —even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.

Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

Will you be going to see it?

Those crazy housewives are at it again. If you’ve missed the domestic divas of Wisteria Lane, you’ll be glad to know that Desperate Housewives premiered its new season on Sunday night. Forgot to set your TiVo or DVR? No worries. Here’s what you missed:

Lynette: You may remember that Lynette had a baby girl at the end of last season. Now she’s home from the hospital and in full newborn mode — as in the house is a mess and the rest of the family is wondering when she’s going to catch up on all that stuff she usually does. But she says she is done being the perfect mom and is just focusing on the baby. But then she gets a call from Renee, an old college friend, who says she is coming to visit. Lynette shifts into Supermom mode and creates the perfect picture of domestic bliss in time for her friend’s arrival. This marks the entrance of actress Vanessa Williams (formerly of Ugly Betty). We hear she’ll be a regular on the show this season.

She and Lynette trade friendly and not-so-friendly barbs about each other’s choice of lifestyle. But then Renee takes it too far when she insinuates that Lynette hasn’t become successful. Lynette was telling her to get out when Renee admits that she is there because she caught her famous husband cheating on her and he chose to stay with the other woman. From the looks of it so far, Renee will bring a lot of Wilhelmina’s qualities to Wisteria Lane — high fashion and a sharp tongue. Should be interesting.

Susan: At the end of last season, Susan and Mike had unknowingly rented their house on Wisteria Lane to Paul Young, the creepy guy who just got out of jail when police discovered that the woman he murdered wasn’t actually dead. Ooops. The neighbors are all buzzing about why he has come back to Wisteria Lane, where nobody believed he was innocent during his trial. What they don’t know is that he has come back for revenge, and we’ll have to wait to see who’ll be the first to get it.

Still struggling financially, Susan and Mike are trying to figure out how to earn enough money to get their house back. Susan meets the apartment building’s landlord and discovers that she is running a website where people pay to watch women clean the house while wearing lingerie (as if that actually happens). The site is called something like “Va-Va-Va-Broom.” The landlord tells Susan she could make great money by being one of the scantily clad cleaners on the site. She says no. But when Mike says he may take a temporary job in Alaska to make extra money, Susan reconsiders and tells the landlord she’ll do it. But Mike doesn’t know… yet.

Bree: This was Orson’s farewell episode. He and Bree are separated now, and she’s pretty depressed. Orson said she should start a project, but she said that she needed to sit with her feelings and figure out what to do with the rest of her life. (Remember she got blackmailed into selling her company to her dead husband’s illegitimate son last season.) She also confessed the reason behind the blackmail to Gabby. Bree’s son Andrew was the one who hit Carlos’ mother with his car when he was only 16, and Bree has been covering up for him ever since. When Gabby heard the news, she was devastated about what it would do to Carlos and their family. She decided it was a secret that she’d keep from him.

Gabby: Speaking of secrets, Gabby has no idea that Carlos is keeping the mother of all secrets from her. In this season premiere, we find out that Gabby and Carlos first child, 8-year-old Juanita, is not actually their biological child!!! An alcoholic nurse at the hospital switched the ID bracelets when Juanita was born, and some other couple took Gabby’s biological daughter home. The hospital hasn’t tracked down the other family yet, but a hospital attorney did tell Carlos. After thinking it over for a day, he told the hospital attorney that there are two options: Carlos sells them for millions, or the hospital execs make this switcheroo mess go away, as in “never tell anyone”, especially Gabby. He decides that this kind of news would ruin her life.

Previews: Next week, it looks like Mike will walk in on his wife doing a little naughty house-cleaning for the Web-cam on her computer. Gabby gets some emotional news while standing in a hospital room. And Bree starts eyeballing her hot handy man who’s helping her renovate the living room. (What is it with the gardeners, painters and handymen on this show? Ever notice how they all look like male models?)
