Parenthood and Chuck being back are good. But Chuck being moved to Friday? meh, that may finally put the nail in it's coffin sadly. Harry's Law being renewed and scheduled on Wednesdays may finally get me to get around to watching it. "Grimm" and the other 2 Wednesday shows "Up All Night" and "Free Agents" have me curious, although if they're Reality shows, I'll of course forget about them.
The 1 casuality being "Outsourced" a show I liked, but didn't have enough time to watch regularly enough to now be down about.

not a ton to get excited about with FOX. I'm obviously happy Fringe is back. Although being on Friday Nights, unless it goes into Smallville-mode where rating demands are lowered anyway, I still worry about it's longterm future with that timeslot. But it did manage to get renewed for another season after being moved there this past season in the middle of the year.
The Zooey Descahanel show The New Girl being probably the most curious/optimistic about, which is a show about Zooey moving with 3 men. I like the fact it includes Jake Kasdan from Freaks and Geeks and The TV Set, it also includes Damon Wayans, which may cancel other good factors out. Hopefully Kasdan can get Wayans to be watchable.
The other new shows: Terra Nova and Allen Gregory might be worth checking out a trailer or 2 before assuming they're more of the FOX filler garbage.

Castle's back which I already knew. The rest of ABC's schedule sucks . Although they usually have 1 or 2 new shows that are worth a look. Charlie's Angels reboot? Pan Am has Christina Ricci working for the once successful Pan Am airline.
Brothers and Sisters was 86'ed, and for me personally, the big casualty has to be V. The show was getting better, but I'm not surprised it's gone. I gotta believe due to budget and not the best ratings, despite those high priced ads. I suppose it's about time to finally finish that blog I was working on a few months ago.

well Mad Love is 86'ed, not too surprising, but still disappointing. Tyler Labine remains an unsuccessful talent. He should go to Cable. USA Network probably could cast him as a lead in a show.
Of course the unwatchably bad Rules of Engagement is still on their air, but now on Saturday Nights? lol. Maybe that'll finally kill it off. The new shows, namely the sitcoms I'll have to check out trailers soon. Mike & Molly coming back does nothing for me, despite my liking Melissa McCarthy in Gilmore Girls and Samantha Who?.
2 Broke Girls has Kat Dennings (Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist) and Garret Morris (Saturday Night Live) and is a James Burrows show. it has potential on paper.
Person of Interest has a Ben from Lost (Michael Emerson) and James Caveizel (The Prisoner). Centers on ex-CIA hitman and a scientist who team up to prevent crimes before they happen. . Potential as well. Although the CBS dramas usually have very little soul and are overtly dark. Sometimes exceptions happen like Joan of Arcadia and Shark.
A Gifted Man has Patrick Wilson as a competitive surgeon. Julie Benz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) who was recently on No Ordinary Family, co-stars. But my guess is it's going to be another one of CBS dark medical dramas, set on a Friday night.

The weakest network (by far), I do watch mostly for the eyecandy, The Vampire Diaries and the new Sarah Michelle Gellar show "Ringer" (which should have been on CBS) sounds like it may have potential. But with the end of Smallville this network has become even less relevant than before. I suppose Ringer and maybe 1 or 2 of the other new shows may surprise me.
One Tree Hill being gone I can't be upset about, although a friend of mine may be slightly.
