Fall TV Premieres: Monday Night

Today marks the official start of the 2009/2010 Fall TV Season, even though we have seen several shows premiere throughout the networks since August.

It is a busy Monday with several returning favorites and some exciting (and not too exciting) premieres. Here's a run down on what's new (or returning) to the "tube" tonight:

ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE (CBS 8:30 pm): Jenna Elfman returns to TV as Billie, a film critic who gets knocked up from a one-night stand with a younger man (Jon Foster) while she's broken up with her boss/boyfriend (Grant Show).

THE BIG BANG THEORY (CBS 9:30 pm) - The 3rd season premieres with Leonard (Johnny Galecki) the experimental physicist and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) the theoretical physicist sharing their "geeky" life with their neighbor, Penny (Kaley Cuoco), the attractive blonde waitress with show-biz aspirations.

CASTLE (ABC 10:00 pm): Author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) returns for a 2nd season as works with NYPD homicide detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) as they reopen the case of her mother's murder.

CSI: MIAMI (CBS 10:00 pm): On the 8th season opener Eddie Cibrian joins the cast as Jesse Cardoza who will replace Erick Delko (Adam Rodriguez) after his encounter with an alligator. The show will flashback to 1997 when Horatio (David Caruso) built his team.

HEROES (NBC 8:00 pm): On the 4th season premiere the heroes are freed to go back to living their normal lives including Claire (Hayden Panettiere) enrolling in college, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) returning to his paramedic duties, Hiro (Masi Oka) discovering he's seriously ill, and Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) returning to his political roots, but his inner Sylar (Zachary Quinto) slow emerges.

HOUSE (FOX 8:00 pm): The 6th season premieres with House (Hugh Laurie) being held against his will in a mental hospital by his physician (Andre Braugher).

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (CBS 8:00 pm): Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) is no less (or no more) arrogant and abrasive now that he and Robin (Cobie Smulders) are entering into a relationship as 5th season premieres.

TWO AND A HALF MEN (CBS 9:00 pm): The long running comedy starts it's 7th season with Charlie's (Charlie Sheen) ex-fiancee Mia (Emmanuelle Vaughier) reappearing in his life while he's engaged to Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor), Alan (Jon Cryer) going through a nervous breakdown after a fling with his ex-wife Judith (Marin Hinkle) and Jake (Angus T. Jones) starting to drive and date.

Fall TV Season

The 2008/2009 Fall TV Season is Here!

As a self-classified "couch potato" my favorite TV time has arrived. I always look forward to the arrival of May when the major TV networks announce their new Fall Season TV shows and then I wait in great anticipation until September and October when the new (and returning favorites) premiere.

This fall, a total of 102 new shows will join the TV airwaves and 110 return to your "TV Tube". During the next few weeks, I will be sharing with you reviews on my favorite new and returning TV series.

Here's my "Top TV Pick" for today:

HOUSE

Tuesdays at 8:00 pm ET (7:00 pm CT) on FOX

This amazing drama, now on it's 5th Season, stars Hugh Laurie as House (Gregory House, MD), a maverick medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

Season 5 picks up a few months after House's best buddy's girlfriend, Amber (Anne Dudek) died trying to retrieve a drunken House, causing Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) to question his ties to the hospital and to House.

If you enjoy drama, with a twist, then House will satisfy your needs.
