1. On September 15^th at 11:30pm, Season Thirty-Eight of “Saturday Night Live” will debut on NBC; which will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane-- the creator of the long-running FOX Animated Series “Family Guy.” MacFarlane is also the Director of “Ted;” which starred Mark Wahlberg as a grown man who, as a child, wished that his beloved teddy bear would gain the ability to speak. In addition to directing, MacFarlane performed the voice-work and motion capture of “Ted;” and he also wrote the movie's screenplay along with fellows Screenwriters Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. MacFarlane received praise from critics for his directorial debut and now he will be hosting the season premier of “Saturday Night Live.”  Other hosts lined-up for this upcoming season include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who will be emceeing the program for his second time on September 22; as well as Daniel Craig; who will be starring on the program for his first time on October 6.

Prior to the start of the season premier, I will be posting a prelude; which will outline my feelings about the upcoming season. As castmembers Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, and Abby Elliot have departed, the long-running sketch comedy program is entering an all-new era.  I will be discussing the current state of “Saturday Night Live” as well as what this upcoming season needs to do in hopes that it will be successful. In addition, I will share some thoughts on Seth MacFarlane hosting the premier as well as some predictions for the episode. Then, as I did during the 2011-2012, I will be live-blogging the premier as well as many episodes of the season; commenting on the performances by the cast, the host, the musical guest as well as the overall quality of the writing. Needless to say, Saturday nights will be featuring A LOT of blogging.

2.  On Thursday September 20, the ninth season of NBC's hit sitcom “The Office” will begin. But most importantly, it has been announced that this upcoming season will be the last. The previous season featured a severe drop in the quality of the show's writing; as the episodes' plots have become more unconventional than in previous seasons. I plan on paying close attention to the upcoming final season; as I plan on writing brief reviews of some episodes. I'm truly looking forward to commenting more on “The Office;” as, after nine years, it will be sad to see the doors close on Dunder Mifflin Paper in May 2013.

3.  In addition, I also plan on commenting on the state of NBC's comedy sitcoms in general. Since the network is debuting quite a few new series this fall, it's easy to say that the face of the television network is indeed changing. I will be looking at some of the network's new series and how they stand against current and past NBC sitcoms. Needless to say, I will be focusing A LOT of my blogging on NBC.

In addition, I plan on posting other writings including:

• The State of current late-night television comedy
• A look at some of the comedies airing on CBS, ABC, and FOX,
• My opinions on some reality series
• And More!!!

So stay tuned. The coming weeks are going to be very exciting. Be sure to keep checking my blog for updates and feel free to comment on any of my articles, critiques, and other writings. Your feedback means a lot and I thank you for your support. So stay tuned for more Nater-Tainment!
