Put down your pencils and check out the shows that are sure to be on your honor roll this fall. We love sharing in the triumphs and heartbreaks our favorite students encounter on campus each week – whether they are belting out tunes in show choir, competing on the football gridiron, or just goofing off in study group.

Slushee Cup Cakes

Talent competitions are in the spotlight, as rising stars sing and dance their way to fame and fortune. But while contestants may come and go, it´s the judges – both spicy and sweet – whose personalities really keep us tuning in each week.

While the modern American family is being reinvented every day, we still relate to the all-too-familiar characters on our favorite family shows. Whether it´s the overachiever mom, the dad who´s trying to be cool, or the precocious but loveable kid, these characters are both smart and funny, especially when they come together over what really matters most.

Cheesy Po-Tot-Chos
You won´t have to ask twice to get everyone in front of this pile of potatoey tots, topped with cheese, salsa and fresh veggies like tomatoes and avocado. This twist on classic nachos is so good – it may be a fight to snatch the last tot! Get the recipe at bettycrocker.com/fanfare.

The geeks are suddenly chic! The socially awkward, but super-smart set is all over the small screen this fall, speaking a language all their own. What they lack in social skills, they make up for in humor. We wouldn´t hold it against you if calculate a countdown until next week´s episode.

Solving for Pi Cheesecake

If it´s not at home, the workplace is a favorite setting for some of this fall´s most anticipated shows. Coworkers who bicker like siblings ultimately connect over the communal coffee pot, finding ways to make the 9 to 5 grind not only bearable, but fun.

Cocoa Crunch Donut
Who doesn´t love a donut at the office – or at home? These homemade donuts start with refrigerated biscuits, then add a sweet glaze and crunchy Cocoa Puffs cereal for a fun and chocolatey punch. Get the recipe at bettycrocker.com/fanfare.

It´s raining men on the fall TV schedule. These men are guys´ guys who tend to hang out in their “man caves,” at the game or at a bar. However frustrating they may be to the women in their lives, it´s their funny antics that keep us tuning in each week.

Double Meat Dudewich
This manly sandwich is all about extremes. Tow meats – beer-soaked BBQ pork and savory smoked sausage – are piled high on an onion bun with coleslaw and pickles to top it off. It might take two (or more!) men to polish off this messy but awesome creation. Get the recipe at bettycrocker.com/fanfare.
