Fall series premieres break boring summer lull
After school starts, but before any major homework is assigned, students have the opportunity to relax and ease into the semester. During this time I like to sit down in front of the television and watch anything and everything. September is coming up and bringing TV series premieres along with it. Here are a few shows that are worth checking out.
"PARKS AND RECREATION"
— SEPT. 26 (NBC)
Yall it is time that you treat yosef to some quality comedy. Get ready for Sept. 26, because "Parks and Recreation" is coming back for its fifth season. Being the best comedy show on television, in my opinion of course, I am more than excited to come back to Pawnee.
This show will suffer a major change around the 13th episode though, because it was recently reported that both Rashida Jones (Ann Perkins) and Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger) will both be leaving the show.
I guess now we can assume that Chris and Ann will finally have their ridiculously healthy baby and be able to raise it away from the craziness of small government.
"HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER"
— SEPT. 26 (CBS)
Another comedy to keep on your radar would be the final season premiere of "How I Met Your Mother." After finally meeting the mother in the season eight finale, it is rumored that season nine is going to only cover the weekend in which they first meet, with sporadic nonlinear episodes that the creators had not gotten around to showing previously. Personally, I feel as though this season will get old very fast, but you never know. Or at least we won't know until Sept. 26.
"THE CRAZY ONES"
— SEPT. 26 (CBS)
Sept. 26 will be the night for comedy, apparently, because CBS is also premiering their new show "The Crazy
Ones." This single-camera comedy stars Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar as a father-daughter combo who own and work at an advertising agency, Roberts & Roberts. They are polar opposite personalities, but unsurprisingly they are able to work together in order to win over not only clients, but their boss and people in their personal lives, as well.
"GREY'S ANATOMY" — SEPT. 26 (ABC)
Also premiering on Sept. 26 is the newest season of the hospital soap opera "Grey's Anatomy."
Ending, as always, on a dramatic note,
we will know Derek and Meredith's baby and how they are as parents,
what will happen with the Arizona and Callie mess, and finally the aftermath of the shocking (too soon?) death of Richard.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." / NBC
Of course this is not a show to just tune into, but if all of this drama sounds like your thing be sure to check out the previous seasons on Netflix.
"MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D"
— SEPT. 26 (ABC)
But if you are looking to start something new, be sure to check out "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" on ABC.
After premiering the first episode at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, there has been a lot of chatter and excitement over the series. Something that was surprising to fans of the film was the fact that Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) has mysteriously come back to life after dying in the 2012 "The Avengers" film.
"ONCE UPON A TIME"—SEPT. 29 (ABC)
However, more exciting than his resurrection is the promise Joss Whedon made about new Marvel characters that have not yet been portrayed in the movies.
"ONCE UPON A TIME" — SEPT. 29 (ABC)
Finally, for all you fantasy fans, on Sept. 29 ABC's "Once Upon a Time" will be returning for its third season. It is hard to see where the show is going to go, because with Emma breaking the curse all the way in season one, the show seems to be stretching quite thin.
However, hopefully with the introduction with new characters, such as Ariel, Tinker Bell and Peter Pan, the story will be able to continue and even more so, break from the cookie cutter mold that the show became victim to in season two.

"Especially coming from pre-production where you have to internalize and visualize everything, it's great to be able to do tangible things like move a camera or set up lights now."

McGinness says they are nearly done shooting the film and have begun the editing process, which has been the most rewarding part of production for him so far.
"A lot of the ideas behind this movie saved my livelihood at one point or another, and seeing
"We both have strengths in entirely different areas and weaknesses in entirely different areas, but that's okay," he said. "He's hard to teach me how to nail things out and get things done in a timely manner, and I think I've taught him a lot about visuals and things like that that are very important."
"God, Grant Me" was partially funded through Kickstarter, a fundraising website that allows people to donate to various projects, but the project only receives the money if it's predetermined goal is met by a certain deadline.
directors have had to learn to adjust to each others differing styles.
"God. Grant Me," a film created by two Lawrence residents, is currently in production. The duo reached their fundraising goal of $4,500 on Kickstarter in July.

The film met its goal in the last hour with 69 backers donating a total of $4,530. One of those backers is Michelle Leatherby, a graphic design student at the University from Fayetteville, Ark. As a photographer herself,
she said it was important to her to help fellow artists see their work come to fruition. "I think it's important as an artist to support other artists work, even if it's a completely different field," she said. "It's just nice to
be able to help other people with their projects, because I believe if I had a project they would help fund it as well. It's a real give and take in the artist community." 14. Ginness and Friedierch plan
