My Fall TV Picks

Wow does time fly or what?  The fall TV season is already here!  I've gone through the schedule of new shows and picked the ones I'm looking forward to.  By no means is this any kind of prediction for which ones are going to last or a review blog.  It's just the series premieres that I'm looking forward to.  


Free Agents


Premieres September 14th at 10:30/9:30 p.m. CT and will air Wednesday nights at 8:30/7:30 CT on NBC starting September 21st. 




Based on the British comedy series of the same name, it follows the lives of two public relations executives, a recently divorced guy and a woman trying to move on after the death of her fiancee, who discover that they seem to have an attraction for each other, even after having slept together during a drunk-filled one night stand, while at the same time trying to stay professional at work, where their friends will do anything to get them to re-enter the dating scene.


New Girl


Premieres September 20th and will air Tuesday nights on Fox at 9/8 central.




The show will star Zooey Deschanel as Jessica "Jess" Day, a well-liked, bubbly, and adorable woman in her late 20s who is trying to get over her surprise breakup with her model boyfriend. She eventually finds a new place to stay when she moves in with three single guys, who try to help her learn about love, life and herself, while at the same time learn a lot about themselves.


Person Of Interest


Premieres September 22nd and will air Thursday nights on CBS at 9/8 central.




Based on a screenplay by J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan the show, which stars Michael EmersonJim Caviezel and Taraji P. Henson follows a mysterious billionaire who has developed a computer program that predicts the identity of a person connected to a violent crime that will take place some time in the future. However, the program has its limitations: for example, it cannot predict whether the person will be a victim, perpetrator, or witness, nor can it predict when or where the crime will take place. 


Pan Am


Premieres September 25th and will air Sunday nights on ABC at 10/9 central.




Is centered around the iconic airline Pan American World Airways during the 1960s. The period drama, from writer Jack Orman (ER) and director Thomas Schlamme (The West Wing), will focus on the pilots and flight attendants working for the world-famous airline in 1963.


Terra Nova


Premieres September 26th and will air Monday nights on Fox at 8/7 central.




The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction. In an effort to save the human race, scientists develop a time machine allowing people to travel 85 million years back in time to prehistoric Earth. The Shannon family join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway. However, they are unaware that it's in the middle of a group of carnivorous dinosaurs.


Grimm


Premieres October 21st and will air Friday nights on NBC at 9/8 central.




Set in present-day Portland, Oregon, the series puts a new twist on the stories of the Brothers Grimm in which a homicide detective learns that he is a descendent of a group of hunters known as "Grimms", who fight to keep humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world. Upon learning of his destiny and that he is the last of his kind, he has to protect every living soul from the sinister storybook characters that have infiltrated the real world.


Once Upon A Time


Premieres October 23rd and will air Sunday nights on ABC at 8/7 central.




The series is loosely inspired by the classic fairy tale stories except set in the present day. The stories hold a key to the mystery that will draw a bail bonds collector and the son that she gave up for adoption 10 years earlier to a New England town called Storybrooke, Maine. This town is actually a parallel world in which fairy tale characters look like normal people and don't remember their true identities or anything about their true lives.
