TV Wasteland: Get an Early Look at the New Fall Shows

With so many of our favorite series hitting their season finales and the summer doldrums impending, all we can do, other than check out the few glimmers of goodness from SCIFI Channel this summer, is look ahead to the return of old favorites like Heroes and Prison Break this fall and the launch of some new series.

Some series on ABC to pay attention to are The Goode Family, an animated series from Mike Judge and the Life on Mars redo, On Fox, there’s the new animated series from Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz titled Sit Down, Shut Up, the Family Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show, and Dollhouse the new series from Firefly creator Joss Whedon. There are other new series on the way for the fall season but these are important because there are video previews of them on the web now. Click the link below and get ready for a bit of a wait but when it finally loads you’ll get previews of these shows and some other less interesting ones including what sounds like a terrible lineup from The CW.

Due to a two hour season finally of Grey’s Anatomy, there’s no Lost this week. There’s also no BSG, Doctor Who, or Sarah Jane Adventures this week. If you watch some of the procedurals such as NCIS or Criminal Mind,s there are season finale’s this week. Overall, there’s not much excitement for the genre fan. Things are so bleak this week that we may even cover the SCIFI Channel movie premiere this weekend! At least Lost will be back next week!
