The Walking Dead; AMC. 8 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.
The wait is over. After last season's finale, life is a bit different for our little family.
There's a lot of new cannon fodder to kill off, the walkers become a more dangerous threat, and there's a threat that has been held-over since last season that could strike at any time.
This is the show I have to watch every new episode of before I go to bed. It's my favorite one airing (even if I admit, it's not the best show I watch, it is the most unpredictable-- and that is a joy that I don't feel often anymore).
The Wire alert: Chad "Cutty" Coleman becomes a series regular and now Larry "D'angelo" Gilliard Jr joins up as well.
The Talking Dead; AMC. 9:01 pm CST. Season Premiere.

I don't know what that means, but it sounds serious.
Wednesday, 10/2
Ironside; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Blair Underwood stars as the wheelchair-bound cop who still knows how to dangle a man off a building and kick other types of ass.
I saw the pilot, and while Underwood was his usual good self, the plot was a lot of "seen it already". That'd be a procedural for you...
Top Chef; Bravo. 9 pm CST. 11th Season Premiere.
Thursday, 10/3

A girl who barely graduated high school tells her valedictorian boyfriend that she's pregnant.

Here it comes...
Monday, 9/23
The Pioneer Woman; Food Network. 4 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
How I Met Your Mother; CBS. 7 pm CST. 9th Season Premiere.
The final season begins. And we have seen The Mother.
Now we get to meet her.
The last couple of seasons have been weaker, but this season will take place during the weekend of Barney and Robin's wedding (with flashbacks and flashforwards), so I have some optimism the show can get back to its peak (I always was a sucker for their non-linear episodes).
The Voice; NBC. 7 pm CST. 5th Cycle Premiere.
2 Broke Girls; CBS. 8 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
Mom; CBS. 8:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.

Castle; ABC. 9 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
Hostages; CBS. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Dylan McDermott stars as an FBI who is agent blackmailing a doctor played by Toni Collette into botching a surgery she is performing on the President.

James Spader plays an FBI Most Wanted criminal who turns himself in in order to catch the criminals that aren't even on the Fed's radar.
Tuesday, 9/24
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ABC. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Joss Whedon brings (and directs the pilot) us this series set in the cinematic Marvel Universe where Agent Coulston (he lives!) leads a group on non-powered (misfit) agents tasked with investigating odd things happening around the globe.
This is the series I'm most looking forward to this new season. Whedon can't run the day-to-day, but it sounds like his fingerprints are all over the series, and that's a good thing for me.
And Coulston is back. I've loved Clark Gregg since The New Adventures of Old Christine, and I think Agent Coulston is the part he was born to play: the extremely-capable everyman that the Marvel movies have utilized so well until his untimely demise in The Avengers (sorry, but if you haven't seen it by now, it's your own fault).
NCIS; CBS. 7 pm CST. 11th Season Premiere.
NCIS: Los Angeles; CBS. 5th Season Premiere.
The Goldbergs; ABC. 8:01 pm CST. Series Premiere.

Malin Akerman plays Bradley Whitford's third wife, and his first and second wives are still in the picture.

The Wire alert: one of the seven is played by Isiah Whitlock Jr. ("Sheeeeeeit.")
Person of Interest; CBS. 9 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
This "procedural" keeps things progressing so well that there's always a thread that runs between episodes.
Case in point: Amy Acker (yes!) and Sarah Shahi (yes! yes!) are now series regulars.
Chicago Fire; NBC. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Fangasm; Syfy. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.

The Michael J. Fox Show; NBC. 8:01 pm CST. Series Premiere.
MJF plays a news anchor who is returning to the job after he learns to manage his Parkinson's well enough to do so.
The Wire alert: Wendell "Bunk" Pierce is in the cast as Fox's boss.
Two and a Half Men; CBS. 8:31 pm CST. 11th Season Premiere.
Angus T. Jones talked some shit about his show, and now his character is off to college.
But how will the show replace the "half"? By having Charlie's illegitimate daughter show up.
She's a hard-drinkin' lesbian and loves chicks as much as Charlie did.
I doubt that even this show is crass enough to consider a lesbian half a man. I'm just sayin'...
Elementary; CBS. 9:01 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Parenthood; ABC. 9:01 pm CST. 5th Season Premiere.
The little show that could already got renewed for a full season.
Friday, 9/27

It's on Showtime, so expect to see some tit-tays...
Betrayal; ABC. 9:01 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A married man has an affair with a married woman. Hilarity ensues.
This is another case of a cable-sized (13 ep) season, so expect the thrills and WTFs to come fast and furious.

Stephen Merchant, co-creator of The Office and Extras, co-created this series about a web designer who is trying to make his way through the dating scene.
