<\/a><\/p>\nDC Universe Shows<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, this is what I\u2019m pumped for more than anything else here. To expand on the world that they established in the gritty hit series Arrow<\/em>, DC is rolling out three new shows this fall, all of which look pretty darn cool. There\u2019s the CW\u2019s The Flash<\/em>, featuring the titular speedy superhero taking on all manner of bad guys (looks like Weather Wizard is first up from the trailer); NBC\u2019s Constantine<\/em>, in which occult master and demon fighter John Constantine comes out of retirement to save the world once more; and FOX\u2019s Gotham<\/em>, showing the early days of Jim Gordon and the Gotham City Police Department. I\u2019m mostly excited for The Flash<\/em> just because it looks like so much fun, but all these shows have definite potential, considering the source material. They premiere on October 7, October 24, and September 22 respectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Supernatural<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Yep, it\u2019s the last run for Supernatural<\/em>, and you can bet that it\u2019s going to be a good one. Following the blockbuster season nine that turned Sam into an angel for a while, Dean into a demon more or less permanently, Castiel into a villain (again) and Crowley into a hero (what?), everyone\u2019s favorite brothers and the rest of their gang are back for the last season ever. Actually, that may or may not be true. Who knows with this show? But what I do know is that it\u2019s going to be awesome. Don\u2019t miss it. Premieres October 6 on the CW.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Librarians<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n So, has anyone else ever seen The Librarian <\/em>movies? Made for TV, on TNT? Starring Noah Wyle and Bob Newhart? No, just me? Oh, well. For those who aren\u2019t familiar, The Librarian<\/em> is a three-movie miniseries that stars Wyle as a geeky, cheeky spin-off of Indiana Jones as he takes over curatorship of a vast storehouse of ancient wonders housed beneath the New York Metropolitan Library. And now it seems that he\u2019s getting some help, as a weekly series will expand on The Librarian<\/em>\u2019s premise while adding four new assistant Librarians to the team. If the movies are any indication, we\u2019re in for a lot of high adventure, a fair amount of doomsday scenarios, and maybe a few laughs, too. Sign me up! Premieres December 7 on TNT.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Selfie<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve honestly considered upgrading this one\u2019s rating because of two things. For one, it\u2019s got an amazing cast\u2013a.k.a. Doctor Who<\/em>\u2019s Karen Gillan and Star Trek<\/em>\u2019s John Cho. For another, it\u2019s a modern-day update of the classic play My Fair Lady<\/em>, which is pretty entertaining on its own. I\u2019m not a huge fan of sitcoms generally, but this one might be worth checking out if you\u2019ve got the time for it. Be prepared to see Gillan portraying an Internet celebrity who hires Cho to teach her how to be a real person that doesn\u2019t have her head buried in a phone for a change: hence the title. Clever. Premieres September 30 on ABC.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gracepoint<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n All right, you got me. This one\u2019s on here just because of David Tenant. Anyway, this new cop show is based on the British drama Broadchurch<\/em>, and stars Tennant alongside Anna Gunn as a pair of detectives investigating a murder in a quiet California seaside town. But when the case blows up and throws the entire town into turmoil, I hope they\u2019re ready for Tennant to give them the smackdown Doctor-style. If he\u2019s anywhere near as intense and awesome as he was in Doctor Who<\/em>, things are going to get crazy pretty quick. Premieres October 2 on FOX.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scorpion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Super-geeks saving the world? Yep, that\u2019s pretty much the gist of this new show, based on the real-life experiences of intellectual Walter O\u2019Brien. In the series, O\u2019Brien teams up with a group of other scientists, geniuses, and hackers to take on the world\u2019s toughest problems\u2013oh, and did I mention that a cute coffee shop waitress gets dragged into the mix, too? How very Big Bang Theory<\/em> of them. Premieres September 22 on CBS.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Forever<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n As if we needed any more shows like this. New York medical examiner Henry Morgan has a dark secret: he\u2019s hundreds of years old, and he can never really die. He thinks that studying the dead may reveal the reasons behind his abilities, and his unique set of skills draws him into investigating murders along with a female cop sidekick. I could be wrong about this, I suppose, but to me the cheese factor here is just overwhelming. Premieres September 22 on ABC.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Z Nation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Great, just what TV needed: another Walking Dead <\/em>rip-off. Well, at least this one stars Lost<\/em>\u2019s Harold Perinneau and Supernatural<\/em>\u2019s D.J. Qualls\u2026 wait, is that even a good thing? Well, at least this show\u2019s got a setting change from the Southern backwoods to a road trip across the entire U.S.A., as a last-ditch attempt by a group of zombie plague survivors to get the only immune guy from New York to California alive so that his blood can be used to make a cure. And just for the icing on the cake, it\u2019s brought to you by the Syfy Channel: the makers of Sharknado<\/em>. I think that tells you everything you need to know. Needless to say, my hopes aren\u2019t high for this one. Premieres September 12 on Syfy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Channel Chaser is written by Kyle Robertson.
