turn on, tune in

I've missed my shows. We spend all this time together every week for months, and then summer comes and they just disappear. Sigh.... But it's finally premiere time again, which almost makes the end of summer bearable.

This season's crop brings some intriguing new shows that may, of course, be canceled as soon as we get really into them, several old faves (Heroes, you've been gone too long), and the return of 90210 (Brenda, you've been gone way too long).

Here's how to plan your premiere party:

• Find your faves on TV Guide's handy premiere calendar.
• Send one of our TV-themed invitations, like the one above.
• Move your furniture and break out the pillows and lawn chairs to give your guests comfortable seating with unobstructed views.
• Make lots of popcorn. If you're feeling especially fancy, create a popcorn fixin's bar. Give each guest their own bowl of the good stuff, and put out popcorn seasonings, Parmesan cheese, M&Ms and Raisinets. 
• If you're watching a returning show, recap last season's cliffhanger moments before the premiere. Bonus points if you act out all the key moments in full costume. Extra bonus points if you film it and share it with the rest of us.

Which shows are you most excited about? And how will you be watching the premieres?

This is cute and it kind of sounds like my slogan for TPSradio on LBCTelevision: "Log On, Tune In and Turn Up!"

I will share evite.com with Long Beach's local cable access TV producers, perhaps you'll see some of their invites on here!

I can use this when Desperate Housewives season premiere comes on... How cute it is.
