I don't follow TV shows other than Supernatural (and that was only from the middle of season 4 on), but I find myself in need of something else to look forward to this coming fall season. roadtriphome's posted her fall TV schedule in the past, so here's mine. Let's dish!

Glee -- premieres Wednesday, September 16th at 9PM on Fox.
Watch the pilot here.

Oh my gosh, I'm already in love with this show! It has some elements of High School Musical (the jock-turned-singer and uber competitive diva character) with a bit of cynicism and dry, kooky humor, mostly from the faculty members.
The storyline follows a Spanish teacher (Matthew Morrison) who suddenly decides to helm the Glee Club and restore it to its former glory, even though everyone from the student body to the principal believe it's a complete waste.
The cast is fantastic and there are several stirring musical numbers in the pilot alone, with the last one being an amazing rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." I can't imagine anyone who won't get a kick out of Glee.

FlashForward -- premieres Thursday, September 24th at 8PM on ABC.
Catch a sneak peek here.

From the minds who brought you Lost and co-created by David S. Goyer, the screenwriter for The Dark Knight, comes a truly incredible new sci-fi drama.
During a day that started out like any other, everyone across the globe experiences a blackout that lasts approximately 2 minutes and seventeen seconds, many of them seeing a portion of their lives six months into the future. For some it's bright and happy; but for others it means shattered homes and broken families, or nothing at all.
The premise is so intriguing. +_+ The mystery surrounding the events in the program have really hooked me, and I can't wait for the first episode.

Happy Town -- premiere info TBA, but apparently it's sometime midseason.
Catch a sneak peek here.

I'll admit, one of the big draws for me is that Sam "Dr. Alan Grant" Neill has a recurring role on the show, but it doesn't look too bad!
A small town in Minnesota enters a time of peace after a horrible string of unsolved kidnappings (perpetrated by a criminal known only as the Magic Man) some years earlier. But when Haplin, nicknamed "Happy Town" by some of its citizens, has its first crime since the Magic Man kidnappings, things start to unravel fast.
After digging around Google for any news on when Happy Town premieres, I've heard that the pilot is lackluster and tries to squeeze too much information into the 90 minutes it's given. But I've decided to reserve judgment until I see it for myself. It looks like a nice, softball murder mystery.

What about you guys? Is there anything you're looking forward to this September? /runs off to watch Dollhouse and Harper's Island in the meantime

* roadtriphome, fandom: glee, pseudo-reviews, oh yeah this is awesome, teevee
