Reed Between the Lines; BET. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Tracee Ellis Ross star in this series about a well-adjusted black family.
(That's how TV Guide pretty much described it...)
Wednesday, 10/12
Work of Art: The Next Great Artist; Bravo. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Psych; USA. 9 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
Saturday, 10/15
Welcome to Sweetie Pie's; OWN. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Singer Robbie Montgomery's soul food restaurant gets its own reality show!
Don't Tell the Bride; OWN. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Another wedding series;a only this one puts the groom in charge of all the planning.
Sunday, 10/16
The Walking Dead; AMC. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
The first season had a few moments of plot holes and bad dialogue, but overall it was great fun. The second season gets twice as many episodes (although, in a "brilliant" move, it will be split between this Fall and next Spring; I believe the monkeys who schedule NBC have been moonlighting at AMC...).
And there were some behind the scenes turmoil that caused series creator Frank Darabont to leave. The good news: the concept- and comic-creator, Robert Kirkman, is still involved. In fact, Season Two moves the story in the direction of the comic again as the group finds themselves on a farm.
Our America With Lisa Ling; OWN. 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Premieres and Notables: October 3-9, 2011
Monday, 10/3
Pop Up Video; VH1. 11 am CST. Series Return.
After ten long years (it had to build-up some videos since the network doesn't air them much anymore), this "trivia"/tidbits show returns.
House; Fox. 8 pm CST. 8th Season Premiere.
Tuesday, 10/4
Made in America; Travel. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Not enough of those shows on Bravo...
Fashion Hunters; Bravo. 9:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
See what I mean?
Wednesday, 10/5
George Harrison: Living in the Material World; HBO. 8 pm CST. Premiere of a 2-part doc.

Thursday, 10/6
The League; FX. 9:30 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
While the first season was spotty, this show really found its groove in its second year.
And while it centers around a fantasy football league, it really has spread out from there.
Friday, 10/7
Say Yes to the Dress; TLC. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Top Secret Recipe; CMT. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
"Food hacker" Todd Wilbur tries to figure out the secret recipes of things like KFC and Cinnabon.
Sanctuary; Syfy. 9 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.
Saturday, 10/8
Rules of Engagement; CBS. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
The Adam Carolla Project; DIY. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Carolla is on a mission to turn his childhood home into a million-dollar one.
Free Agents; BBC America. 10 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Huhn? Wha? Didn't this premiere a few weeks ago?
Sort of. But this is the original.
And if I laugh just once, it will have the lead over NBC's version (which I'm sticking with for a while; namely for the potential it could end up being decent).
The BBC series stars one of my favorite comedy actors: Stephen Mangan (BBC's Green Wing-- still one of my favorites-- and Showtime's Episodes), so I'll definitely be "in" for this one.
And the original also stars Anthony Head as the boss (just like on the NBC show)-- but he can be even more lewd and crude with BBC's more tolerant standards.
Sunday, 10/9
Breaking Bad (AMC; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Pop Up Video; VH1. 11 am CST. Series Return.
After ten long years (it had to build-up some videos since the network doesn't air them much anymore), this "trivia"/tidbits show returns.

Monday, 9/26
Sesame Street; PBS. Check local listings. 42nd Season Premiere.
Forty-two!
Gossip Girl; The CW. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Terra Nova; Fox. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
The highest-expectationed show to debut this fall. Why? Steven Spielberg is the creator. It involves time travel and finosaurs. And they blew a shitload of money on the pilot. In the future, a group of humans travel back in time to try to "redo" the human race experience since we blew it the first time.
Hart of Dixie; The CW. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Rachel Bilson stars as a big-city doctor who finds herself back in her small-town Southern roots.
Mike & Molly; CBS. 8:30 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Mike and Molly are now engaged.
Don't worry, they're still portly, so I'm sure they won't ease-up on the fat jokes.
(Admittedly, I gave the show all of one and a half episodes last year, so maybe they grew out of the jokes by the end of the season. I doubt it, but I needed to give you full disclosure that I didn't stick with it.)
Weeds (Showtime; 9 pm CST.) Season Finale.
Tuesday, 9/27
The only premiere you need to know is:
Wednesday, 9/28
Suburgatory; ABC. 7:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A New York City teen finds herself transplanted to the 'burbs when her dad finds condoms in her room.
Rocket City Rednecks; National Geographic. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Alabama rednecks built things involving explosives.
Don't worry, the "leader" is a rocket scientist...
Happy Endings; ABC. 8:30 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
It wasn't the show I would have renewed (Perfect Couples and Traffic Light seemed to be growing better than this one), but here we are. It certainly ended better than it started, so I'll be checking it out this season as well.
Luther; BBC America. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Highly recommended.
Thursday, 9/29

Dexter; Showtime. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Homeland; Showtime. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.

I've been hearing good things about this one. Worth checking out.
