What you should be watching?
Sunday
A new drama with some laughs on CBS or the longest running comedy? I'm recording one and watching the other.
At 8 pm on CBS:
NEW! Madame Secretary-- premieres September 21st at 8:30 pm, Tea Leoni stars as Elizabeth McCord, a former CIA Analyst turned college professor who is whisked back into the political stage when the President taps her to become the new Secretary of State following the mysterious death of the prior one. Tim Daly plays Leoni's husband and although it may be a bit of a stretch that the show features a political issue every week, it fits in perfectly with the CBS demographic. People are going to like this show and what makes it better is that Leoni and Daly are such likable actors and characters. Bebe Neuwirth also stars.
At 8 pm on FOX:
The Simpsons-- returns with it's 26th Season, premieres September 26th at 8 pm, There will be a Family Guy and The Simpsons crossover episode. The two families will become friends. A major character is also scheduled to die in this episode, who it is, is being kept under wraps.
Check out a clip HERE
What I am even more excited about is that The Simpsons is going to have it's own MAC Cosmetics Collection!
I cannot wait to see the new developments in the wake of Will's death, and what will become of Peter and Alicia's relationship on The Good Wife.
At 9 pm on CBS:
The Good Wife-- premieres September 21st, is back for it's sixth season, fresh off Julianna Margulies' Emmy Win for Season 5. What's missing this season? Josh Charles as Will Gardner who was killed off towards the end of last season. What's happening in season six? Alicia (Margulies) may run for State Attorney. Taye Diggs has been cast as a "talented and meticulous" lawyer. Steven Pasquale has been cast as a campaign manager, supposedly for Alicia. Alicia and Peter's marriage is basically just for show at this point, in public they're happily married. Behind closed doors is another story.
Revenge returned to it's amazing roots in season three; I cannot wait for season four to knock my socks off!
At 10 pm on ABC:
Revenge-- premieres September 28th, finished season three in grand fashion. Victoria killed Emily's true love, Aiden. Conrad went to jail, got out, and he was stabbed and left for dead by none other than David Clarke! Emily's father is alive. Emily finally got the best of Victoria who ended up in a mental health facility, and Emily committed her. Emily is going to do a lot of self reflecting this season. She is going to see the havoc she's wreaked on the lives of those who care about her, they've put their lives on the line all so Emily can avenge David's supposed death. Jack will be at the center of her reflection, especially now that her love Aiden is gone. David will not be who Emily or Victoria think he is. Because Aiden is gone, Emily has a whole new reason for revenge.

NEW! Manhattan Love Story-- premieres September 30th, Another comedy, and another vote of confidence from me. This is out of the ordinary, but I loved the preview for Manhattan Love Story. This is a fun little romantic comedy (we need more of those right now; we're living in a cynical world!) What I liked about this preview is that it gives you insight to what the opposite sex is thinking. The series stars the adorable Analeigh Tipton, who finished in third place on Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model. Jake McDorman is her love interest from the ABC family show Greek.

At 10 on CBS:
NEW! Stalker-- premieres October 1st, I think what attracted me to putting this on my list was how absolutely scary the previews were. It literally creeped me out; I have no idea whether or not I will be able to consistently watch the show without getting nightmares, but I am willing to try. The series, starring Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q are detectives who investigate a variety of different stalking incidents for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD. Their job is to assess threat level and catch the stalkers before their obsessions get out of control without allowing it to interfere with their personal demons.

Are You as Excited for Fall TV 2013 as I Am?
What you'll want to watch...
Sunday
@ 8 pm-- The Simpsons on FOX, premieres September 29th-- Say it ain't so! Could season 25 be The Simpsons last? I am convinced that no matter how many seasons this show does, it will be sure to end with a bang. This season Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria, Daniel Radcliffe, and Kristen Wiig all guest star just to name a few. Lisa becomes a cheerleader, Marge blames herself for Bart's rebelliousness, Marge gets upset when Homer sells stock to buy a bowling ball.
@ 9 pm-- Revenge on ABC, premieres September 29th-- Season 2 of Revenge was a bit of a letdown after the drama that was Season 1. Producers promise that Season 3 will get back to what the show was all about, Emily, aka Amanda, taking people down one by one. Each take down will reveal more about who Amanda really is. Let's not forget that Jack found out at the end of last season that Emily is really Amanda. Click the first "Revenge" to see a sneak peek of how Season 3 begins; it's a shocker.
@ 10 pm-- Betrayal on ABC, premieres September 29th, New Series!-- Click HERE to see what Betrayal is all about. The description doesn't give me the best idea what it's about, but it intrigues me enough that I want to check it out. Think the television of the movie Unfaithful.
For mid-season, check out:
@ 9 pm-- Believe on NBC, from JJ Abrams comes the sci-fi series introduced at comic con about a young girl named Bo with the ability to control nature and predict the future.

@ 10 pm-- Crisis on NBC, Gillian Anderson, Dermot Mulroney, and Michael Beach all return to TV and lead the cast of this political thriller. I didn't know how to describe it, but here's the premise, as I found it on Wikipedia, During a school trip, students of the Ballard High School, attended by the children of Washington DC's elite, including the President's son, are the victim of an ambush. A national crisis begins and Secret Service agent Marcus Finley finds himself at the center of it on his first day on the job. FBI agent Susie Dunn also discovers her niece, the daughter of CEO Meg Fitch, is among the kidnapped children.

With Ellen's family threatened, what will she do?
@ 10 pm-- The Blacklist on NBC, premieres September 23rd-- The plot as I have read and heard it many times: "Raymond "Red" Reddington (played by James Spader), one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, surrenders in person at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He claims that he and the FBI have the same interests: bringing down dangerous criminals and terrorists. Reddington will cooperate, but insists that he will speak only to Elizabeth Keen (played by Megan Boone), a rookie FBI profiler. Keen questions Reddington's sudden interest in her, though he claims that Keen is very special. After the FBI brings down a terrorist he provided information on, Reddington reveals that the terrorist is only just the first of many. In the last two decades, he made a list of criminals and terrorists he believes the FBI can not find because they did not know they exist and that they matter the most. Reddington calls it "The Blacklist"".
For mid-season, check out:

@ 10 pm-- Intelligence on CBS, premieres February 24th-- This is one of the shows I am most excited about. It's a great cast that includes Josh Holloway from LOST in the starring role along with Marg Helgenberger in a strong supporting cast. Holloway is Gabriel Vaughn, former Delta Force turned U.S. Cyber Command über-agent with a micro chip implanted in his brain.
Tuesday
@ 8 pm-- Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC, premieres September 24th-- If you're a fan of the Marvel movies, you'll be interested in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Their job is to serve and protect the public.

@ 8 pm-- The Biggest Loser on NBC, premieres October 8th-- Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper, and Dolvett Quince return as the trainers and Alison Sweeney returns to hosting duties for Season 15 of the inspiring weight loss reality series. This year's contestants include American Idol Season 2 winner, the velvet teddy bear himself, Ruben Studdard who's weight gain was fueled by emotional turmoil. Although Ruben's story may be the most familiar, it is not the only story that touches the soul.
@ 8:30 pm-- Brooklyn Nine Nine on FOX, premieres September 17th-- Okay I admit it, I used to watch SNL because I thought Andy Samberg's Digital Skits were funny, think d**k in a box with Justin Timberlake for instance. Well Samberg has graduated from SNL to a costarring role in comedy Brooklyn Nine Nine alongside the incomparable Andre Braugher (think Last Resort and Homicide: Life on the Street). Samberg plays Detective Jake Peralta who's unconventional antics are put on told when a new, yet seasoned by the book Captain named Ray Holt (Braugher) arrives to reign on his parade. For all those soap fans out there, Melissa Fumero (formerly of One Life to Live) also stars.
@ 9 pm-- The Voice on NBC-- This will ultimately be when the results show airs.
@ 10 pm-- Person of Interest on CBS, premieres September 24th-- The popular series returns for season three after what I found to be a lackluster season two. I loved season one and then season two just didn't live up to the hype. I am hoping this is a return to the show I loved.
@ 10 pm-- Chicago Fire on NBC, premieres September 24th-- The end of last season saw Dawson and Mills ending their relationship (I was so sad :-( about that; I really wanted these two to be together for the long haul!) Severide found out that he was going to be a father when Renee came back from Spain to reveal that she was with child. Casey was reeling over the death of his girlfriend Hallie. Shay wanted to be with child as soon as possible. This season? Severide discovers he may have a sister. Dawson keeps her distance from Casey who looks to find inner peace with Hallie's death. Rumor has it Dawson and Mills will both move on with new people, but will there be unresolved feelings? Also, rumor has it that Dawson and Shay's friendship will be put to the test.
For mid-season, check out:
@ 9 pm-- About a Boy on NBC-- Based on the best selling book, this comedy looks quite refreshing. It produced and written by Jason Katims who is behind two of my favorite shows ever: Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. Minnie Driver is one of the stars of the show, and I am excited to see how she does on TV.
Wednesday:
@ 8 pm-- Survivor: Blood vs. Water on CBS, premieres September 18th-- This is the 27th installment of Survivor. So what brought me back? The good old days. Blood vs. Water takes past contestants and pits them against a family member on the opposing team. Check out the cast by clicking the link.

@ 9 pm-- Criminal Minds on CBS, premieres September 25th -- Criminal Minds, one of my longtime faves returns for Season 9 with the remaining cast still intact. At the end of last Season Section Chief Strauss died in the arms of Hotchner and the team finally caught the replicator. This season NYPD Blue alum Esai Morales takes over as new Section Chief, and he and JJ have a past that we will get to know about. Eva La Rue is also joining the show as Agent Mays. There is also rumor that there will be a Garcia and Morgan romance this season. At some point this season, in a flashback, Hotch will see Haley and Foyet alive again. The show will also celebrate a milestone this season hitting 200 episodes! Joe Mantegna who plays Rossi on the show will direct his first episode.
@ 9 pm-- Law & Order SVU on NBC, premieres September 25th-- The other long running law enforcement centered drama left us with a major cliffhanger as Benson was held at gunpoint by a rapist. What happens will definitely have an affect on Benson and change her. Will the new man in her life step up to the plate in the aftermath or will Benson deal with this alone?
@ 10 pm-- Nashville on ABC, premieres September 25th-- The critically acclaimed drama made it out of Season 1, now it has to sink or swim in Season 2. The end of last season left viewers with an explosive finale with tons of cliffhangers. Teddy discovered that his mistress Peggy is pregnant. Juliette laid her mom Jolene to rest. Gunnar proposed to Scarlett but she didn't answer. Will she marry him or return to Avery? Rayna's oldest daughter Maddie discovered that Deacon is her real dad. When Deacon discovered the news, he turned back to the bottle. The closing moments had Rayna and Deacon fighting in the car with Rayna driving and the two getting into a car accident. The show returns with Deacon sitting by Rayna's side awaiting a pending jail sentence while Rayna lays in a coma.
@ 10 pm-- Ironside on NBC, premieres October 2nd-- Blair Underwood plays Detective Robert Ironside. His instincts are second to none and he's as tough as they come; two years ago, a bullet hit his spine leaving him wheelchair bound, but he refuses to let it slow him down. I am a huge fan of Underwood so I am hoping that this drama is compelling.
Thursday
@ 8 pm-- The X Factor-- This will be the slot for The X Factor Results show
@ 8 pm-- The Vampire Diaries, premieres October 3rd-- I am not liking where this is going, Silas took over Stefan's body/ identity at the end of last season. The point is, the real Stefan is at the bottom of a river.
@ 9 pm-- The only slot where I am unsure if I want to watch anything at all.....
There's The Crazy Ones on ABC, premieres September 26th with Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar but critics don't seem excited. Then there's Glee on FOX, the show I fear I will be too emotional to watch following the death of star Cory Monteith. This may be an hour where I watch something I missed earlier in the week.....
I suppose I am writing about The Crazy Ones because I noticed I didn't have too many comedies on this list, and I didn't want to be a party pooper for those who do like comedy. Although, don't expect to come to my page and read the latest spoilers on Parks & Recreation cause it's not happening. The crazy ones tells the story of Simon Roberts (Williams) and his daughter Sydney (Gellar) who work together running an ad agency that has some of the biggest and best clients. Sydney and her dad are opposites, she is the focused, determined, organized one who looks after her dad. Along with them is a cast of characters, in this case, their coworkers.
@ 9:30 pm -- The Michael J. Fox Show on NBC, premieres September 26th-- The show is loosely based on Fox's own life as he plays a former TV news anchor who left work to spend time with his family after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. It's five years later, the kids are grown up and with Mike growing restless, he wonders whether or not it's time for him to go back to work.
@ 10 pm-- Scandal on ABC, premieres October 3rd-- Season 3 of the political series picks up a few minutes where Season 2 left off. Olivia has been revealed as the President's mistress, but who shared that information is unknown; the first episode is promised to reveal that. This year we'll learn a lot about Olivia's past and it's kind of shocking.
@ 10 pm-- Parenthood on NBC, premieres September 26th-- Oh my goodness, how happy I was to discover that one of the most undiscovered shows for the majority of the public was coming back for a fifth season. At the end of last season Jasmine and Crosby discovered they were expecting a baby. Julia and Joel made it official and adopted Victor. Amber and Ryan got back together. Drew graduated high school. Sarah chose Hank who decided to move to Minnesota and Mark walked away alone. This season starts with Jasmine and Crosby getting ready to have their second child. Sarah has moved into her own apartment and manages the building. Hank has moved back and is working in his photography studio, but Sarah has no idea. Max has taken an interest in photography and is spending time with Hank. Ryan was sent to Afghanistan and Amber learns how tough long distance relationships are. Joel is working on a huge construction job while Julia applies for a job at a law firm. Kristina lands herself a new job offer. Drew is in college but still around.
Friday
@ 8 pm-- Undercover Boss on CBS, premieres September 27th-- I love Undercover Boss. I wish that some of the companies I have worked for over the years would participate in it because it would give them such an honest look of not only the good parts of their company but the bad. In any place you work, there will always be those who work hard and those who don't. Season 5 will bring us more of that as well as more touching moments between boss and employee. The folks who put the show together says it has gotten harder for them to fool people and make them buy into what they try to do with the show.
@ 9 pm-- Hawaii Five-O on CBS, premieres September 27th-- At the end of Season 3, Kono and her ex-gangster boyfriend were on the run from the Yakuza. Danno reunited with his girlfriend played by Autumn Reeser (of the cancelled yet brilliant ABC series Last Resort); and an imprisoned Wo Fat and a visiting Steve McGarrett under siege by the kingpin's enemies. This season Chi McBride is joining the show (loved him on Boston Public). Also guest starring will be Nick Jonas, Tim Daly, Henry Ian Cusick, Daryl Hannah, Carol Burnett, Jorge Garcia, Terry O'Quinn, Rebecca DeMornay, Taryn Manning, Rumer Willis, and Melanie Griffith as Danno's mom. Kono is not leaving the show, she'll just have a separate storyline from the rest of the team for a little bit. Steve and his girlfriend Catherine may face some issues; his inability to make himself vulnerable to her may cost him.
@ 9 pm-- America's Next Top Model on The CW, premiered already-- I need to be totally honest, this has been one of the most interesting dramatic seasons of America's Next Top Model. I love the fact that they added the guys. It's something I feel like they should have done sooner. In a lot of ways, I find the majority of the guys more interesting than the girls. I don't want to jinx anyone by saying who I think is going to win, but there's a good chance it will be a guy. I love the dynamic between the men and women on the show, I love watching how they interact with one another and their chemistry. I can only hope for more seasons like this one.
@ 10 pm-- Blue Bloods on CBS, premieres September 27th-- This season Jamie will have a new partner, a rookie and a female. They're close as can be without being involved. Frank may move forward and date for the first time since losing his wife. Bebe Neuwirth will guest star for three episodes as a potential love interest for Frank. Danny's partner Maria Baez will be his permanent partner (Marissa Ramirez is now a permanent cast member).
Sunday
@ 8 pm-- The Simpsons on FOX, premieres September 29th-- Say it ain't so! Could season 25 be The Simpsons last? I am convinced that no matter how many seasons this show does, it will be sure to end with a bang. This season Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria, Daniel Radcliffe, and Kristen Wiig all guest star just to name a few. Lisa becomes a cheerleader, Marge blames herself for Bart's rebelliousness, Marge gets upset when Homer sells stock to buy a bowling ball.
@ 9 pm-- Revenge on ABC, premieres September 29th-- Season 2 of Revenge was a bit of a letdown after the drama that was Season 1. Producers promise that Season 3 will get back to what the show was all about, Emily, aka Amanda, taking people down one by one. Each take down will reveal more about who Amanda really is. Let's not forget that Jack found out at the end of last season that Emily is really Amanda. Click the first "Revenge" to see a sneak peek of how Season 3 begins; it's a shocker.
@ 10 pm-- Betrayal on ABC, premieres September 29th, New Series!-- Click HERE to see what Betrayal is all about. The description doesn't give me the best idea what it's about, but it intrigues me enough that I want to check it out. Think the television of the movie Unfaithful.

@ 10 pm-- Crisis on NBC, Gillian Anderson, Dermot Mulroney, and Michael Beach all return to TV and lead the cast of this political thriller.

A national crisis begins and Secret Service agent Marcus Finley finds himself at the center of it on his first day on the job.

With Ellen's family threatened, what will she do?

He claims that he and the FBI have the same interests: bringing down dangerous criminals and terrorists. Reddington will cooperate, but insists that he will speak only to Elizabeth Keen (played by Megan Boone), a rookie FBI profiler. Keen questions Reddington's sudden interest in her, though he claims that Keen is very special. After the FBI brings down a terrorist he provided information on, Reddington reveals that the terrorist is only just the first of many. In the last two decades, he made a list of criminals and terrorists he believes the FBI can not find because they did not know they exist and that they matter the most. Reddington calls it "The Blacklist"".

Although Ruben's story may be the most familiar, it is not the only story that touches the soul.
@ 8:30 pm-- Brooklyn Nine Nine on FOX, premieres September 17th-- Okay I admit it, I used to watch SNL because I thought Andy Samberg's Digital Skits were funny, think d**k in a box with Justin Timberlake for instance. Well Samberg has graduated from SNL to a costarring role in comedy Brooklyn Nine Nine alongside the incomparable Andre Braugher (think Last Resort and Homicide: Life on the Street). Samberg plays Detective Jake Peralta who's unconventional antics are put on told when a new, yet seasoned by the book Captain named Ray Holt (Braugher) arrives to reign on his parade. For all those soap fans out there, Melissa Fumero (formerly of One Life to Live) also stars.

Shay wanted to be with child as soon as possible. This season? Severide discovers he may have a sister. Dawson keeps her distance from Casey who looks to find inner peace with Hallie's death. Rumor has it Dawson and Mills will both move on with new people, but will there be unresolved feelings? Also, rumor has it that Dawson and Shay's friendship will be put to the test.

Friday
@ 8 pm-- Undercover Boss on CBS, premieres September 27th-- I love Undercover Boss. I wish that some of the companies I have worked for over the years would participate in it because it would give them such an honest look of not only the good parts of their company but the bad. In any place you work, there will always be those who work hard and those who don't. Season 5 will bring us more of that as well as more touching moments between boss and employee.

I love the fact that they added the guys. It's something I feel like they should have done sooner. In a lot of ways, I find the majority of the guys more interesting than the girls. I don't want to jinx anyone by saying who I think is going to win, but there's a good chance it will be a guy.

Winners: The Biggest Loser on NBC continues to gain fans, 90210 on The CW sends the gang to college this year, Glee on FOX has some more songs to sing this season, and NCIS on CBS continues to be a ratings winner.
Undecided: Last Man Standing on ABC; Tim Allen had a major hit with Home Improvement, is it possible for him to be that successful again? Time and ratings will tell, but I don't know if I am willing to take the chance initially.
Premieres: Oct. 11th
Losers: Man Up! on ABC; love Teri Polo and love Henry Simmons but this comedy is anemic at best. I will be surprised if it lasts an entire season.
Premieres: Oct. 18th
The Biggest Loser serves up a new season with Alison Sweeney returning as host and Bob Harper as a trainer. This season also adds two new trainers in the eye catching Anna Kournikova and trainer to the stars Dolvett Quince. The Biggest Loser never lacks inspiration which also means it won't lack viewers.
Premieres: Sept. 20th
90210 left off with Annie inheriting a fortune but losing Liam to his adventure on the sea, Ivy and Raj got married as his health worsened, Naomi found out she was pregnant and told an MIT bound Max, and Adrianna was left out from the group completely after she did what to her supposed bestie, Silver.
Some spoilers for Season 4: Annie becomes a professional escort! Naomi quickly discovers that if she wants the same status she had in high school she'll need to step it up because in college she's a nobody. Liam returns from his adventure and wants to commit to Annie. Liam will also own his own bar. Navid and Silver will live together when his family decides to move to Switzerland. Dixon forgoes school and takes a chance in the music business. Adrianna will be doing everything she can to make up for what she did, but she finds it's not all that easy.
Kellie Pickler and Brandy Norwood will guest star this season.
Premieres: Sept. 13th
Glee returns, and so does Rachel's mom played by Idina Menzel (word is she'll be around for at least eight episodes). Ryan Murphy has already said that several of the "Gleesters" will graduate this year including Finn, Rachel, Kurt, and Santana. Will this be their last year on the show? I sure hope not; I'd rather be slushied.
Premieres: Sept. 20th
In true NCIS fashion, it's always full of action and drama, here's a recap of season eight:
Jamie Lee Curtis will guest start in two episodes and Scott Wolf will come on board as a recurring character for season nine. NCIS will also celebrate its 200th episode in early 2012.

Premieres: Sept. 20th
9pm time slot--
Winners: Ringer on The CW, Sarah Michelle Gellar is back everyone!
Losers: Zooey Deschanel tries her luck as the New Girl on FOX, but there's not much that is new about this comedy. It's totally been there done that, a newly single young woman moves in with three single guys. For some reason, doesn't it sound like something you've heard before?
Premieres: Sept. 20th
There are a lot of issues I am willing to overlook with newcomer Ringer given the star. Sarah Michelle Gellar began as Erica Kane's daughter on All My Children and shot to stsrdom in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This season she is back as a complicated woman woman named Bridget, who after witnessing a murder goes on the run. She run to her estranged twin sister in New York City named Siobhan.

Premieres: Sept. 20th
I kept my fingers crossed that Parenthood would return and grace us with a third season, and it will. At the end of last season, Amber almost died after getting in a car accident due to her careless behavior after news that she did not get into the college she wanted to go to, Crosby sold his boat and bought a house in the hopes of getting Jasmine back, Haddie and Alex took things in their relationship to the next level on prom night, Kristina surprised a jobless Adam with news that she was pregnant, and Sarah became a playwright. With all these loose ends to tie up, I can't wait for this season to start.

Survivor: South Pacific continues last season's idea of Redemption Island and Hidden Immunity Idols. Here are 16 of the 18 contestants competing for one million dollars!

The X-Factor on Fox is a new reality show brought to us by none other than Simon Cowell of American Idol fame. Simon has brought along three judges to sit on his panel including Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid, and Nicole Scherzinger. The winner of the competition receives a $5 million recording contract with Sony Records. So a lot of people are wondering, why is Simon doing this show? He had success with American Idol. What makes The X-Factor different than American Idol or any other reality show out there for that matter? Well I think Simon did a great job answering all those questions in this short video. I cannot wait to see who wins this competition and who has The X Factor.
Premieres: Sept. 21st
Up All Night on NBC has an all star comedy cast: Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph, and Nick Cannon. Applegate plays Reagan, a career woman, wife, and new mom. The shows details her life with her stay at home husband (Arnett) and trying to get back into the swing of the things with her boss (Rudolph) at work. With all the misses (Jesse and Samantha Who?, both of which survived only two seasons), Christina is definitely due for a hit and with this show having a witty cast, a sharp writing team and production crew behind it, they just might pull it off.

Criminal Minds returns for a seventh season and so does Paget Brewster and A.J. Cook who departed for the majority of the sixth season. Rachel Nichols contract was not renewed for this season; the rest of the cast will return as expected, some with renegotiated contracts. Beyond securing the cast, I have no idea what they are up to this season with their story lines. It will be twisted and meaningful I'm sure.
Premieres: Sept. 21st
10pm time slot
Winners: The guilty pleasure newcomer Revenge on ABC and Law & Order: SVU on NBC sans Stabler played by the wonderful and I predict,missed, Christopher Meloni.
Losers: CSI on CBS, once the number one show on television the show has declined especially when William Peterson and Gary Dourdan left the cast. Laurence Fishburne only stayed for one season, erasing any momentum he may have built for the show. Marg Helgenberger has already stated that this will be her last season, and Ted Danson is coming on board. No offense, nothing against Teddy, but this just doesn't seem like the right role for him.
Premieres: Sept. 21st
I will be completely honest with all my readers and admit that out of all the new drama and comedy series coming to television this year, the one I refuse to miss is Revenge. Emily Van Camp was intelligently cast in the lead role as Emily Thorne who is out for revenge against those who wronged her childhood and her family. ABC has meticulously run promos over the whole summer during the soap operas, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad, and any drama series. For those who haven't seen that dramatic promo, here it is for your viewing pleasure; I dare you to tell me you're not hooked after this:
Premieres: Sept. 21sthttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Detective Elliott Stabler will not be returning to Law & Order: SVU for season 13 after contract negotiations fell through; I have no idea how NBC let that happen. Mariska Hargitay will be back as Detective Olivia Benson and will be promoted at some point during the season but will be seen just as much. The rest of the cast returns as well with Danny Pino (Cold Case) and Kelli Giddish (Chase) as new additions to the cast, playing Detective Nick Amaro and Detective Amanda Rollins respectively. Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh will play themselves on a basketball centered episode this season along with actor Mehcad Brooks, and the show is in talks with Andre Braugher to have him play a lawyer on the show who gets close to Olivia. Brothers & Sisters' Ron Rifkin will guest-star in the season premiere as the defense attorney of Franco Nero's Dominic Strauss-Kahn-esque rape suspect.
SVU seldom offers insight to how their season will play out, so when I saw this video on their website, I knew I had to share. I feel surprisingly more at ease after watching this, it's almost like the actors reassured me that they understand how the fans of SVU feel, and they want to bring us captivating, thought provoking episodes.

Winners: The Biggest Loser on NBC continues to gain fans, 90210 on The CW sends the gang to college this year, Glee on FOX has some more songs to sing this season, and NCIS on CBS continues to be a ratings winner.
Undecided: Last Man Standing on ABC; Tim Allen had a major hit with Home Improvement, is it possible for him to be that successful again? Time and ratings will tell, but I don't know if I am willing to take the chance initially.
Premieres: Oct. 11th
Losers: Man Up! on ABC; love Teri Polo and love Henry Simmons but this comedy is anemic at best. I will be surprised if it lasts an entire season.
Premieres: Oct. 18th
The Biggest Loser serves up a new season with Alison Sweeney returning as host and Bob Harper as a trainer. This season also adds two new trainers in the eye catching Anna Kournikova and trainer to the stars Dolvett Quince. The Biggest Loser never lacks inspiration which also means it won't lack viewers.
Premieres: Sept. 20th
90210 left off with Annie inheriting a fortune but losing Liam to his adventure on the sea, Ivy and Raj got married as his health worsened, Naomi found out she was pregnant and told an MIT bound Max, and Adrianna was left out from the group completely after she did what to her supposed bestie, Silver.
Some spoilers for Season 4: Annie becomes a professional escort! Naomi quickly discovers that if she wants the same status she had in high school she'll need to step it up because in college she's a nobody. Liam returns from his adventure and wants to commit to Annie. Liam will also own his own bar. Navid and Silver will live together when his family decides to move to Switzerland. Dixon forgoes school and takes a chance in the music business. Adrianna will be doing everything she can to make up for what she did, but she finds it's not all that easy.
Kellie Pickler and Brandy Norwood will guest star this season.
Premieres: Sept. 13th
Glee returns, and so does Rachel's mom played by Idina Menzel (word is she'll be around for at least eight episodes). Ryan Murphy has already said that several of the "Gleesters" will graduate this year including Finn, Rachel, Kurt, and Santana. Will this be their last year on the show? I sure hope not; I'd rather be slushied.
Premieres: Sept. 20th
In true NCIS fashion, it's always full of action and drama, here's a recap of season eight:
Jamie Lee Curtis will guest start in two episodes and Scott Wolf will come on board as a recurring character for season nine. NCIS will also celebrate its 200th episode in early 2012. Look for Breena and Palmer to have a spring wedding, and Tony's father and Gibbs' father will come back. A two part November sweeps celebration will take Gibbs overseas.
Premieres: Sept. 20th
9pm time slot--
Winners: Ringer on The CW, Sarah Michelle Gellar is back everyone!
Losers: Zooey Deschanel tries her luck as the New Girl on FOX, but there's not much that is new about this comedy. It's totally been there done that, a newly single young woman moves in with three single guys. For some reason, doesn't it sound like something you've heard before?
Premieres: Sept. 20th
There are a lot of issues I am willing to overlook with newcomer Ringer given the star. Sarah Michelle Gellar began as Erica Kane's daughter on All My Children and shot to stsrdom in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This season she is back as a complicated woman woman named Bridget, who after witnessing a murder goes on the run. She run to her estranged twin sister in New York City named Siobhan. Her life, in comparison to Bridget's seem so together, but things are not always as they seem.
Premieres: Sept. 13th
10pm time slot
Winners: Unforgettable on CBS hopes that people have not forgotten Poppy Montgomery (Without A Trace) and critical darling Parenthood on NBC returns for its third season.
I am always excited when a new crime/ mystery drama comes along, Unforgettable stars a now red headed Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, a woman blessed and cursed with being able to remember event moment in her life, except for her sister's murder.
Premieres: Sept. 20th
I kept my fingers crossed that Parenthood would return and grace us with a third season, and it will. At the end of last season, Amber almost died after getting in a car accident due to her careless behavior after news that she did not get into the college she wanted to go to, Crosby sold his boat and bought a house in the hopes of getting Jasmine back, Haddie and Alex took things in their relationship to the next level on prom night, Kristina surprised a jobless Adam with news that she was pregnant, and Sarah became a playwright. With all these loose ends to tie up, I can't wait for this season to start.

Winners: Two reality shows square off to see who will be the sole survivor with the x-factor; that's right Survivor on CBS and The X-Factor on Fox. I also want to throw in a comedy on NBC, the previews make me laugh, Up All Night.
Loser: with two top notch reality shows, one that is not very good isn't going to survive, the season, sorry H8r, airing on The CW.
Survivor: South Pacific continues last season's idea of Redemption Island and Hidden Immunity Idols. Here are 16 of the 18 contestants competing for one million dollars!
Two former Survivor's Ozzy and Coach return to see if this time, they can be the sole survivor. I love how the video below details who they are as players.

Premieres: Sept. 14th
The X-Factor on Fox is a new reality show brought to us by none other than Simon Cowell of American Idol fame. Simon has brought along three judges to sit on his panel including Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid, and Nicole Scherzinger. The winner of the competition receives a $5 million recording contract with Sony Records. So a lot of people are wondering, why is Simon doing this show? He had success with American Idol. What makes The X-Factor different than American Idol or any other reality show out there for that matter? Well I think Simon did a great job answering all those questions in this short video. I cannot wait to see who wins this competition and who has The X Factor.
