I didn't really see any information about the new fall shows so I figured I would collect some for people like me that knew nothing more or less.

If you feel like a show is missing, feel free to say so and I'll add it. The list is also not completely done yet, I'm going to add cast but I figured unless I post it now I'll never finish. Took quite a while to make.

Ringer looks incredible. When a commercial makes you gasp at a certain plot point before you've even seen the show, that's a good sign.

Anyone know what song plays in that Ringer preview?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

The police procedural has become the bread and butter of networks. Have a cool idea that can't sustain an entire show? Add a police element! Now we can serialize it and show replays forever!

The only two shows that interest me at all are the fairy tale ones. I'll probably wait til the end of the season and get them on Amazon instant if they get renewed.

 

[brianjones]

is that playboy show based on that mad men episode

they even have the same black chick

shameless

they even have a don draper and betty look-a-like.. porn parody

I see about 2 or 3 Mad Men wannabees.

 

[Qatar]

Thanks OP.

I would never consider watching Last Man Standing for obvious reasons.
I will wait until all pilot episodes are aired and read people's thoughts on the shows that deserve to be watched.

 

[SolKane]

Is there a computer program or something that puts out new sitcoms every season? They're all the exact same formula with only one or two variables changed.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

For Me:

Terra Nova
Up All Night
Revenge
Ringer

 

[JTran2003]

man that is a lot of shows coming out... guess thats what happens when there is no cable in the home... cant get with the times and join in on those awesome office conversations about what happened last night...

 

[The Lamonster]

2 painfully obvious Mad Men ripoffs.

I would give Ringer a chance. That's about it though.

 

[Enosh]

yeah, I like this thread, nice list with all the trailers
should also add returning shows if you have the time ^^

 

[Double D]

I really want Terra Nova to be good.

 

[ymmv]

I see about 2 or 3 Mad Men wannabees.

I got to like that time period after watching Mad Men for four years. (Plus it's cool if I see stuff I vaguely remember as a kid). Pan Am could be fun, but I'll probably not watch that Playboy show.

 

[Momo]

Terra Nova to be canceled in 5 eps, America seemingly hates sci fi

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

How long has it been since SMG last was in a television show?

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Ringer looks good. Up All Night has a good cast so I'll try that out too. And I might just watch that Zooey Deschanel show because it looks like it has trainwreck potential.

 

[dave is ok]

I hope Whitney gets cancelled after one episode

 

[calder]

A couple look somewhat interesting. I'm a sucker for the concept of Person of Interest, so I'll give that a try for sure.

But I'm trying to figure out what looks the absolute worst show of the season....

Tim Allen stars as Mike Baxter, marketing director of an outdoor sporting goods store, fighting for his manhood while constantly being surrounded by women, including his wife and three growing daughters.

Yeah that one. Dreadful setup, actor I can't stand... I'd need to be paid at least $20 before each episode to watch this. Sounds like the sort of thing that could last 6 seasons.

 

[Wes]

A dozen or so that interest me there. No doubt half of them will be axed after a couple of weeks as I begin to get interested.

Is More As This Story Develops slated for this year or next?

 

[anaron]

Sooooo much shit.

Up all night and Suburgatory have the most potential with their cast/crew and have been receiving the most consistently 'good' buzz so here's hoping they deliver.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Up All Night and Whitney will get a shot. I'm pretty much done with network dramas.

checking out Terra Nova and Person of Interest.

looking forward to see when some of these shows starts dropping

 

[ollin]

90% of these new shows won't be renewed for next season. Suburgatory, Free Agents, and Whitney look like shows that will get cancelled first.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Grimm and Once upon a time interest me.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Grimm and Once upon a time interest me.

Same. I'm willing to bet they both get passionate fanbases that hold them throughout the year, but won't get renewed because they're too "niche."

EDIT: A Fables TV show would have been amazing, but they had to go and screw that up.

 

[Irish]

Grimm and Once upon a time interest me.

Yeah, those two don't seem all that bad.

Awake, which wasn't listed, also looks like it could be very good.

[Femmeworth]

Kat Dennings is doing a CBS comedy? Not sure if want. :\ Nothing catches my interest, so I'll do my usual thing and wait to see what people say is worth watching.

 

[NYR]

Playboy Club - Mad Men with boobs. Except it will suck.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

2 Broke Girls needs nude scenes and I would be all over that shit.

 

[Wickerman]

NBC has really been pushing Whitney. Ringer and 2 Broke Girls look potential keepers.

Charlie's Angels has Minka Kelly and The Playboy Club has Jenna Dewan-Tatum so I'll probably watch for them.

 

[JaskoX1]

Zooey <3

 

[Jme]

Thanks for this! Looks to be another stellar season :/

2 Broke Girls
no

Hart of Dixie
no

Terra Nova
will try

The Playboy Club
absolutely not.

Last Man Standing
no.

Man Up
gtfo.

Unforgettable
already forgotten.

Ringer
no.

New Girl
she's cute, but no.


Suburgatory
no

Revenge
no thanks

H8R
go fuck yourself.


The X Factor
oh boy more shit from simco. :/

I Hate My Teenage Daughter
me too, fuck off.

Up All Night
looks funny, will try.

Free Agents
meh.

Charlie's Angels
this a joke?

How to Be a Gentleman
johnny drama can not save this trainwreck.

Person of Interest
j.j. better deliver because his black-spy-couple show sucked. will try though.

The Secret Circle
heheh


Whitney
dear horse mouth, never talk ever.

Prime Suspect
chances of this being confused with person of interest (by name alone): 100%. chances of it sucking: 100%

A Gifted Man
I will also be a gifted man, because I will never have wasted my time watching this.

Grimm
Very hesitant try.


Once Upon a Time
I hope this won't suck.

Pan Am
Indifferent.

Allen Gregory
Doomed to fail. Awful art style. Not (to my knowledge) a Seth Macfarlane project. Will watch once (doubt more than that).

 

[D4Danger]

An ex-CIA hitman partners with a scientist to prevent crimes before they occur in this drama/action project

sounds good so far...

from J.J. Abrams.

... oh. nevermind.

 

[Moofers]

So anyone want to start a deathpool for most of these? I'm guessing maybe 2 or 3 of them will survive past their first season, not counting X-Factor. And can I just say how much I hate the title "H8R" as well as the choice of having Mario Lopez host? Ugh. Its like everything that's wrong with and annoying about mainstream television cranked to the max.

Also, why so much hate for Whitney? Is there something I don't know about that show? Is the star a mega-bitch or something? At least its not another dumbfuck reality show where people do dumb tricks or sing or whatever.

 

[TylerD]

TV promos that end with people staring at me and trying to look bad ass piss me off. NBC is especially bad about this. Your show/characters are not bad ass and don't get to stare at me until they have had a season and I will not believe otherwise. I'm looking at you Prime Suspect chick.

I wonder what is going to stick to the wall this season?

I hope not this.

 

[Qatar]

lol @Jme
I like how you think

I could see shows like Prime Suspect, Ringer, 2 Broke Girls, Unforgettable, and maybe Terra Nova sticking around for a full season or two.

How many new shows survived from season?

 

[Goldrush]

Going to give these shows a try.


Revenge - Revenge stories are always fun.

Playboy Club - Period pieces always get bonus points from me.

Charlie's Angels - Needs something to replace Chuck once the show ends.

Grimm - Honestly, I think I just want it to be Pushing Daisies, mixing the real world with fantastical visual. I know it won't and I'll hate it, but I'll give it a chance.

 

[CiSTM]

They are really trying to ride on Mad Men's success Nothing really picked my interest.

 

[dead souls]

All of these shows look terrible. Thank zeus for cable programming (and the few returning broadcast shows that I like) or I'd have almost nothing to watch.

Better luck with the new stuff next year broadcast networks.
