In the attempt to avoid missing out on the premier of good new TV shows (ala Two series: Smallville and Enterprise ), what's the buzz on this fall's new shows? Seems like I've seen a couple of supernatural-themed shows advertised but I can't remember what they are...
Surface is sci-fi as far as I know..... The previews look like it's about something coming up from the bottom of the ocean a la The Abyss
ABC is also updating The Night Stalker. Does anyone remember that show from the 70's? Sort of a combo of X-Files/intrepid reporter deal.
Jennifer Love Hewitt stars in The Ghost Whisperer about, um....someone who whispers to ghosts, I guess. As long as she wears a baby doll shirt, i'm happy
Brent Spiner and Carla Gugino star in Threshold about a group of "elite operatives" who investigate an alien craft.

Threshold stars Carla Gugino (Karen Sisko) and Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek) in it. Look like an alien ship crashes in the sea and these people try to determine what's what.

Jennifer Love Hewitt can see and talk to the dead who "have not yet crossed over". Sounds a lot like Medium, except she won't be using her "gift" to solve crimes. Instead, she'll help ghosts and their loved ones find peace...

A remake of the old Karl Kolchak series, not expected to be as good as the original... Mulder & Scully, uh... Kolchak & Gabrielle Union's character, I mean... explore strange, possibly related Bad Things Hap'nin' (TM), in an apparent attempt to link them all into a Unified Wierd Theorm.

"Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the Earth? Naval officers in the South Antarctic Sea, a family in San Diego, the Oceanographic Institute in Monterey, and fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico are about to find out. The organisms are beautiful, but are these innocent creatures more than what they seem? Embark on this unfathomable journey to discover what might be lurking just below the surface."

"In the middle of the ocean, a cargo freighter makes a chilling discovery: an extraterrestrial craft has landed on earth. Enter Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino), recruited to await the planet's first contact, along with a carefully assembled team made up of a brilliant physicist with strong religious beliefs, a language and communications expert and a highly trained covert operative. Together they implement the long-gestating Operation: Threshold, charged with finding out the purpose of the landing and the fate of the ship's crew, and preparing for the worst-case scenario of an alien invasion."
Surface, Threshold, Invasion and Prison Break will all get watches from me.
Along with Everybody Hates Chris.
I have little hope for any of them.
I think my tv viewing this season will be the Wed 9pm slot with both Lost (if the paces picks up) and Veronica Mars. Gilmore Girls and Amazing Race by force of habit. Survivor because I like it for the game aspect. Family Guy. I might give Smallville a third or fourth look with James Marsters joining the cast. And JLU and South Park whenever they decide to be new.

The DVD era has helped me to resist wasting time on new shows, as I can just wait and watch the whole first season next summer if I hear good things about them. The only recent new shows that I have watched as they aired are Lost, the Office and Battlestar Galactica.
Looks like my television viewing, other than sports, will be limited to Amazing Race, Lost, Office and Survivor. I actually think of the reality tv I watch as sports also, in that it is a game and finding out who "wins" each week is an important aspect of enjoying and experiencing the show. So I don't rent reality tv on DVD, although I have been tempted by the first couple seasons of Amazing Race, since I missed them when it aired.
