NBC New Fall Shows

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 6:05 pm

I’ll continue to recap shows the week they premiere, but I thought I should still focus on the new shows that will be premiering this upcoming fall season so you can figure out if you want to add any new shows to your viewing repertoire.

NBC New Fall Shows

My Own Worst Enemy
Channel: NBC
Time: 10/9c
Premieres: Mon, Oct 13
Starring: Christian Slater, Alfre Woodard, Mike O’Malley
Trailer

Synopsis: Henry is a normal, suburban dad, but he is also Edward, who is a highly specialized spy. His two personalities are starting to become aware of the other one.

My Take: Is it Jekyll/Hyde or Total Recall or something else altogether? I’m intriguied enough to tune in. It would be nice for Christian Slater to be good in something again.

FOX New Fall Shows

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 2:44 pm

I’ll continue to recap shows the week they premiere, but I thought I should still focus on the new shows that will be premiering this upcoming fall season so you can figure out if you want to add any new shows to your viewing repertoire.

FOX New Fall Shows

Fringe
Channel: FOX
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Tue, Sep 9
Starring: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Kirk Acevedo, Mark Valley, Blair Brown, Jasika Nicole
Trailer

Synopsis: An FBI agent works with a former institutionalized scientist and his equally brilliant, but con-artist son to solve crimes that are a bit off the beaten path in terms of science, such as telekinesis, reanimation and teleportation. There is also some kind of pattern forming amongst all these strange cases.

My Take: I’ve already seen the pilot and really enjoyed it. I love JJ Abrahms’ shows and I like the supernatural element in this one. Joshua Jackson is actually surprising and my favorite part of the episode. It is a TV Guide Pick and The Futon Critic loves it.

CW New Fall Shows

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 11:17 am

I’ll continue to recap shows the week they premiere, but I thought I should still focus on the new shows that will be premiering this upcoming fall season so you can figure out if you want to add any new shows to your viewing repertoire.

Keep in mind that CW is doing something weird this season. They outsourced their entire Sunday night line-up, so even though it is still CW, it is almost like it is another company running Sunday night. There are no trailers for these shows and I haven’t seen a promotional push for any of them by the CW. There is only a tiny bit of info on the shows on the CW site, but you have to search for it. None of the shows are listed in their Fall Preview section. It’s all very odd.

CW New Fall Shows

90210
Channel: CW
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Tue, Sep 2
Starring: Shenae Grimes, Rob Estes, Tristan Wilds, AnnaLynne McCord, Dustin Milligan, Ryan Eggold, Jessica Stroup, Michael Steger, Lora Loughlin, Tabitha Wilson, Jennie Garth
Trailer

Synopsis: It is Beverly Hills 90210: The Next Generation. A family has moved out to Beverly Hills from the midwest to take care of their grandmother and the dad has taken a job as a principal at West Beverly Hills High. Kelly Taylor is working at the high school as a guidance counselor.

My Take: TV Guide has listed it as one of their picks, but the pilot was unavailable for review. I used to watch the original the first couple of seasons before it was too dumb to continue. Well, I guess it was always dumb, but I graduated high school and started watching other stuff. I have no desire to watch this version, especially with the very annoying actress AnnaLynne McCord from Nip/Tuck.
