Fall TV Preview 2012

So the time of year approaches where us TV geeks anticipate the return and premier of shows for the fall season.  I can't take credit for the following list, but it can be found on i09's site here.  For simplicity's sake, I'm going to follow the format that they have laid out.  Oh, and I'm only going to talk about shows I'll be watching.

Currently airing
Grimm (Returning/NBC) - I first wrote about this show for last years preview (click here for that tasty piece of blogging history).  Picking up where last season left off, we find Nick coming to terms with several issues.  The season started off strong, and I am looking forward to more good things out of this fine fantasy show.






September


Doctor Who (Returning/BBC America) - 
I just starting watching Doctor Who last season.  And boy am I hooked!  I really like Matt Smith as the Doctor.  We are getting a new companion this year, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the new season plays out.





Revolution (New/NBC)
Brought to us by JJ Abrams, Revolution follows a group of people as they navigate the United States after ALL the lights go out.  The promos look good, and I always love me some post apocalyptic fun!








Last Resort (New/ABC)
A US Ohio class sub goes rouge for some reason or another, and sets up their own nation on an island.  I have issues with this already, but being as I am a sucker for Navy shows, I'll be checking this out.  I'm hoping there's a better premise than the one being presented in the previews, so we shall wait and see.


Fringe (Returning/FOX)
Yay!  Fringe is back!  Boo, its the final season.  I'm actually ok with that.  Its going to go out while its still doing well.  I'd rather see that then have it drag on for no reason at all.




Once Upon A Time (Returning/ABC)
Not gonna lie, I did not think this was going to be renewed.  It was a good little show, and ended in a way that would have not left any hanging questions.  I'm glad its back, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they are going to resolve the now standing issues from the season finale.




And that covers it folks!  What shows are you looking forward to this season?

  1. I'm glad you asked! If you've seen my 2011/2012 TV review posts, pretty much anything near the top of those lists that have been renewed I'm looking forward to. As for new shows, the only one I definitely want to watch is Revolution. Post-apocalyptic world plus Giancarlo Esposito (aka Gus Fring aka one of the all-time best villains on tv) as an antagonist...YES PLEASE!

    A few other new shows I am interested in checking out pending time:
    -666 Park Avenue...Isn't John Locke reason enough?
    -Elementary...American Sherlock featuring Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu!
    -Animal Hospital...Probably won't be that good, but I do love me some Tyler Labine and Justin Kirk
