It’s the magical time of year again: time for the networks to bring our shows back for the fall season. Cliffhangers will be resolved, double-length season premieres will be padded, tears will be shed, hearts will be touched.
Following is a list, by date, of all the major networks’ season premieres. Omitted are cable shows, because they don’t usually adhere to a “fall season,” and because I don’t care about most of them.
Shows that are brand-new this fall are marked with an asterisk. Give ’em a spin! See if they stink! I know I will. (Give ’em a spin, I mean, not stink.)
