Now that the back-to-school dust has settled, it is time to clear out my virtual shelves and make room for some upcoming fall shows.

Like many folks, I add and add shows to my virtual shelf in hopes to watch it one night once the kids are asleep. The problem with this idea is that more times than not, I don't make it past 8 pm or simply forget about the show altogether because parenting pushes just about everything to the back burner.

So while I am finally getting a chance to clear out my virtual shelf I find am forcing myself to watch these three shows that have been on my shelf for far too long. Three shows that I must watch simply because I love watching drama that is not my own.
