Also next Monday on NBC, don't miss the game show "Million Second Quiz". I tried out for this by submitting a demo video, but haven't been selected. It's exactly what it says, a continuous game show lasting over the course of 12 nights.

Of course I'll watch Parenthood to see April.

Also, check out the Transformers: Prime TV movie (no announced date).

Doesn't Bones start sooner? I thought it moved to Fridays... Or did that change?

EDIT - Nevermind... it moves to Fridays in November. My bad, I forgot about that.

Really looking forward to Glee, Chicago Fire, The Amazing Race, and Winx Club the most. I'm also curious about The Million Second Quiz, so I might check that out, too. Oh, and of course TMNT, but we don't have a date for that yet.

Bones premiers on Sept 16th.

Actually, it's October 4th.

It might still come out on Blu-ray earlier than that though, on October 1st as originally reported, even though the DVD version was always announced to be released on October 8th. Most sites are now saying that the Blu-ray will now be out on that date as well. We'll see though.

I'll be waiting for Mike & Molly's return in the mid-season.

The ones in red are the new shows that I'll check out, and will probably watch on a regular basis.

After seeing a preview of Dads, and seeing that Brenda Song is in it, I might check it out at least once to see if it's any good. Even if I might not watch it regularly, I wish her success. It'll be on at the same time as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

When South Park's season resumes in the fall, it'll clash with CSI as usual. I'll be DVR-ing both simultaneously.

I'll check out Undercover Boss when they feature a company that interests me.

I don't know what's going on with The Boondocks. It has yet to start its fourth season.

Girl Meets World is supposed to debut on The Disney Channel some time next year, and I'll most likely give it a shot.

I don't think I'll be watching anything other than TMNT and occasional Simpsons.

ABC, Fox, and NBC already showcased their new shows, but there are still chances to catch them. Unfortunately, there are no known future showtimes for Fox's fall preview. Nothing for the CW either, but they might have already shown theirs and we just missed our chance. Anyway, here are the rest.

NBC: September 5 @ 9:30am (Oxygen), September 7 @ 7pm (NBC) (originally aired on August 24th)
CBS: September 14 @ 1pm
ABC: September 17 @ 12am (ABC Family) (one hour, originally aired on September 1)

I forgot about South Park, too. I didn't get to watch much of last season due to Chicago Fire, but now I'll be able to since CF is on Tuesdays now. So can't wait for that.

yes new PR Mega Force! finally! at least i'm hopin it'll air here at the same time Saturday. the rest all looks good as well. some new shows i really can't wait to see

Where did you read about that?

Okay then. I checked my cable grid's schedule and that also confirms it to be true. Family Feud starts up again on the 16th as well. Now once we learn when the second season of Ninja Turtles will start, I'll be set.

The Legend of Korra returns on Friday :D! It's gonna absolutely KILL everything else in this line-up and it's the only cartoon show I can watch as an adult and not feel embarrassed.

An update of the showings of the networks' fall preview specials. There's also one for the CW.


NBC: September 7 @ 7pm (NBC), September 13 @ 12 midnight (G4), September 19 @ 12:01am (USA) & 2: 30am (Style), September 21 @ 12 midnight (Cloo)

I didn't see a date for Law and Order SVU. :(

I believe that starts on the 25th.

Awesome, thanks!
