Fall TV!

I am not ashamed to admit that I love television. One of the things I like about Fall is the new television season, with the return of old favorites and the promise of new shows. This season is a bit odd: most of the new shows are either crime shows or shows with a SciFi/horror bent, including 3 shows that deal with aliens both home-grown and extraterrestrial. I thought I'd share a list of shows I am intrigued by - I have not read any reviews of these yet, so I am going by description/premise only. Times are Central Time Zone.

Monday Night
Surface (NBC, 7PM, 19 Sep): Strange new creatures are discovered in the seas by people in San Diego, the Antarctic, Gulf of Mexico and Monterey.

Tuesday Night
Bones (FOX, 7PM, 13 Sep): Based on the real-life experiences and best-selling works of novelist-forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs who solves crimes using evidence supplied by skeletal remains.

Supernatural (WB, 8PM, 13 Sep): Two brothers search for their missing dad and along the way help others who have been affected by supernatural creatures, a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the X-Files.

Wednesday
Lost (ABC, 7PM, 21 Sep): A favorite returns...
Invasion (ABC, 8PM, 21 Sep): Space invaders!

Thursday:
The Night Stalker (ABC, 8PM, 29 Sep): Stuart Townsend takes on the role of Carl Kolchak in this remake of the television show of the same name (which originally starred Darren McGavin).

Friday:
Threshold (CBS, 8PM, 16 Sep): A team of researchers invesitgate a mysterious and possibly extra-terrestrial craft found in the ocean.

Enjoy!
