And now the week comes to an end. Friday nights have always been considered the death slots, it’s often when series come to die, where network send the shows they don’t believe in, don’t intend to support, or just keep on the air because they have nothing else to put on, but they’re gone. It’s sad, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some pretty fantastic shows on Fridays actually, either because networks are stupid, or because some shows managed to make Fridays their own…
First, a look at what’s to come…
* At 8.00 Jennifer Love Hewitt is coming back once again on Ghost Whisperer, new season premiering October 3rd; on The CW it will be the return of Everybody Hates Chris, starting October 3rd as well; and NBC will try something with their drama Crusoe, debuting October 17th
* At 8.30 on The CW will be the expected The Game, back October 3rd as well
* At 9.00 while many will still be grieving Moonlight, CBS tries to do something, I guess, with The Ex List, premiering October 3rd
* At 10.00 and despite whatever NBC may think of it, you don’t want to miss one of the greatest show: Life, starting its new season Monday, September 29th at 10.00 and then it’s on Friday, October 3rd at 10.00 also. Then, back on Monday (October 6th) before finally settling down on its regular slot, Fridays at 10.00 starting October 10th (sounds complicated but it’s not, and it’s totally worth it!); meanwhile on CBS maths & cops are back for a new season of Numb3rs, starting October 3rd

They bragged about their new pilot-less process, ordering at least 6 episodes of new series from a script, without “bothering” by first having a pilot episode shot; they also love to say how they go international by co-producing series with other companies; not to mention how they love advertisers and are now asking them for lists of products, then ordering the creative minds to come up with new episodes or series to sell the stuff.
Clearly NBC is trying to innovate, or at least do anything they can think of to show they’re trying, they’re really trying, I’m not sure what it is exactly they’re trying to do, I’m not even sure they do, but they try hard, they never stop trying.
It’s possible I’m a pessimist, it’s possible I have this tendency to hate NBC, anything goes, but the more I read about what’s going on at NBC the more I think it’s not gonna be good, at all. And what really saddens me in this, is that I have a bunch of shows I love which just happen to be on NBC, hence my worries.

At this point we have the fall schedule and premiere dates for all the main networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW) so now the only thing that remains is for you to search for the information concerning the shows you love/are interested in.
To make things easier for everyone, I took back the complete new fall schedule compiled before premiere dates were known and updated it. You will find here the complete 2008 fall schedule day by day, with all shows on their slot with their premiere dates included. That way you can see how [insert day here] will be, try to see what you’ll watch and what you’ll have set on your DVR, and when things will be back.
And because sometimes you want to know things the other way around, know what will be on at a given time, I’ve also included the list of all premieres dates ordered by date. With all that, hopefully you should have all the information you need to get ready for next fall.

ABC just released their fall premiere dates, and if on some networks new episodes kick in as soon as early September, on ABC you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your latest fix. Boston Legal is the first script series to come back, and that won’t happen until September 22 !!
Yep, that late. Could be worse though, imagine you were a fan of, say, Pushing Daisies or Dirty Sexy Money, then September won’t be easy on you, because they’re not returning to the air before October ! Though they do kick on on the first day of the month, if that’s any comfort… If you’re waiting for Samantha Who? or Eli Stone on the other hand, you don’t even get such comfort, as they will return respectively on October 6, and October 14 !
ABC new series are Opportunity Knocks, premiering on September 23; and Life On Mars, coming in much later, on October 9.
Interested in a full listing, followed by a complete listing of all shows premiere dates (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) ? It’s all after the jump !

Fall season is still month away, but if you’re a TVoholic if probably wonder which series will be a hit, and which will die before the end of the year ?
Of course no one really knows, but Horizon Media loves to speculate and, in their annual television report, go ahead and make their predictions. Sadly I haven’t read that report nor do I really know what they base their predictions on (did they saw the pilots for all series??), but let’s talk about it anyways, shall we?
Of course, the number one hit of next season goes to Fox, with J.J. Abrams’ Fringe. Now that an easy one, I think we can all agree on that one, it’s a no-brainer. According to Hollywood Reporter, HM predicts that the second highest-rated new show will be CBS’ Eleventh Hour.
I’m not really sure about that one. Of course, I haven’t seen the pilot, unlike Fringe, but it didn’t look that good/exciting to me, and one could also wonder whether or not it might sound a little to close to Fringe, people might compare the two shows, and in such a fight, if there can only be one, it will be Fringe.

As we sometimes wonder what to watch these days, cause there isn’t really much on (though tonight we got both Swingtown and Fear Itself), the premiere dates for next fall keeps coming in.
We can now add CBS to the list, and it’s pretty straight forward, no surprise, no special time slot for the premiere, nothing like that. When it comes to CBS, September 22 will be the D day. On this Monday will return the comedy night (introducing new series Worst Week), and the usual CSI: Miami that comes after.
Then, the two next days gets to see their shows back on, and it stops. Until Friday, October 3 where new series come back again, ending the return of CBS series on Thursday, October 9 with CSI and new series Eleventh Hour.
Full listing, and a reminder of when the other shows come back, it’s all after the jump !

(This week we look back at how each of the main networks handled things this past season, as well as looking at how things are looking up for the coming one. Agree ? Disagree ? Share your thoughts and grade networks in the comments below…)
The Good
This season NBC had some really good series on, and not only that but they had simply the best new series of the season : Life. Some very good new series (again, Life, but also Journeyman) and some very good returning series (30 Rock, The Office, …), at first it really looks like NBC might be a winner.
(Side note: For all fans of Life out there, there’s a new fansite around, The Path To Zen, on which you can find (among other things) a really great & interesting read about how Life could become a big hit, if NBC believed in it! I highly recommend the read, especially if you like the show…)
Adding to that the renewal of newcomers Life and Chuck, both deserving a second season for sure, or finding a way to save fan-favorite Friday Night Lights, NBC looks like a winner.
And yet, they’re not.

We had the schedule already, but not the dates. Now we do, as NBC revealed the premiere dates for its fall schedule (plus some tweaks in said schedule). Eager to know when your favorite (NBC) show will be back, it’s all here !
* Heroes will be back in a three-hour block, no less! Monday, September 22nd the Heroes night will start with an hour-long compilation show, so uninteresting boring crap, and then the two-hour season premiere. I’m not sure it’ll be any better, but at least it’ll be new, right?
* The new season of Chuck will premiere on Monday, September 29th, and the same night will also see the series premiere of My Own Worst Enemy
* Law & Order: SVU will start its new season Tuesday, September 23rd
* On Wednesday, September 24th you’ll have the series premiere of Knight Rider, as well as the season premiere of Lipstick Jungle

NBC revealed its new schedule, and now that we have had a little more time to digest it, let’s come back and see how it went, was it mostly good, or bad.
And I’m sure some will like it, because Friday Night Lights is coming back or because there hasn’t been a complete takeover by reality crap, but just because it’s not the worst it could have been doesn’t make it good. And quite frankly, this schedule is no surprise coming from NBC, but it’s also clearly nothing good. They’re a bunch of idiotic sellouts, and they make no secret about it.
