Fall TV Premieres: Friday Night

This year's Fall TV Premiere Week continues tonight as several of your favorites return for their TGIF engagement. Here's what's new...

DOLLHOUSE (FOX 9:00 pm): Season two of this Sci-Fi drama with Echo (Eliza Dushku), a programmable human employed/enslaved by a shadowy organization, will include more character story lines into the mission-of-the-week template.

GHOST WHISPERER (CBS 8:00 pm): The fifth season starts off with Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) going through a traumatic labor scene which was direct by Hewitt. Then the action leaps forward five years to Melinda and Jim (David Conrad) now a doctor that is the centerpiece of the dark places the producers intend to go.

LAW & ORDER (NBC 8:00 pm): Entering it's 20th season, with the producers promising to get even rippier-from-the-headlines including an episode on the shooting of an abortion doctor and one which puts Dick Chenet and the torture clique on trial.

MEDIUM (CBS 9:00 pm): Now on CBS, season six will pick up four months after NBC's June finale with Allison (Patricia Arquette) out of a coma. Also watch out for the Halloween episode in late October which will incorporate footage from George A. Romero's 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead."

NUMB3RS (CBS 10:00 pm): Season six will stay focused on solving crimes after Anita (Navi Rawat) responds to Charlie's (David Krumholtz) proposal. Gary Cole will guest star in an episode where he turns up as a suspected sniper with plenty of math involved.

SMALLVILLE (THE CW 8:00 pm): Clark's (Tom Welling) relationship with Lois (Erica Durance) provides the heart of season nine. Lois will hold the key to Clark's journey which you will begin to learn on the last second of the premiere episode.

SOUTHLAND (NBC 9:00 pm): On the second season opener, Lydia (Regina King) finds herself teamed up with an aggressive new cop (Amaury Nolasco) after the shooting of her partner Russell (Tom Everett Scott). In addition, more details about the private lives of rich-boy-turned-cop Ben (Ben McKnenzie) and closeted blowhard John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) will unfurl.
