It's seriously one of the best new shows out there.

I'm a guy, so I'll be the first to admit that my choices on what to watch on TV are pretty typical: SportsCenter, The Walking Dead, and every god-forsaken superhero series known to man are what's clogging up my DVR these days.

HOWEVER... there's one new show out there that my wife insisted we check out earlier this fall and watch together and let me just say that I couldn't have been more wrong about it. I went into it with the wrong attitude thinking it was just gonna be another girly-like dramedy-type series that'll fizz out after a season or two. But man was I way off... in fact, it's probably my new favorite show.

Of course I'm talking about NBC's new hit show "This is Us".

From the very first episode, you're hooked. The writers do a great job in making the characters all lovable in a sense that their "problems" are mostly relatable to the viewing audience. It's also extremely entertaining so there are light moments too with plenty of one-liners thrown in to break up a tense moment within an intense scene.

Plus, the show immediately drops bomb after bomb after bomb in the first three episodes that make you go "Oh my God! What just happened?!", but in a good way.

Last night we had some of our friends over to watch episodes 6 and 7 because we were all behind a week, and they stayed an extra half hour after the show was done so we could talk about it more... it's crazy!

So not to ramble on n' on and beat a dead horse, but I seriously think you should consider adding this show to your "Must see TV" (sorry, I had to).

This is Us airs Tuesdays at 8:00pm.

Here's the cast talking about their latest episode, so if you haven't seen the first six then skip this because it obviously contains **SPOILERS**:
