Saturday Night Theater: Fall TV

We're mere weeks away from the beginning of an all new season of television ... which is the first season after the writers strike that crippled Hollywood last winter and ended all of our favorite shows early.

So, now it's time to start looking at what is coming this season, what's new, what's returning, and perhaps most importantly what died too soon thanks to he abbreviated 2007-2008 season.

Monday Nights:
September 1st -

Prison Break 7pm Central FOX
For those of you who haven't checked out Prison Break yet you can be rest assured that you are missing out on one of the most exciting series currently on television. With the way season 3 ended it must be noted that this season might just be the best yet!

September 22nd -

Heroes 7pm central NBC
Many people gave up on this show with the start of season 2 and the knowledge that this wasn't a superhero team show and was going to remain a super powered ensemble show. Look forward to the introduction of some all new characters who might find themselves on either side of the hero/villain line.

Californication 9pm SHO (moves to Sundays starting the 28th)
David Duchovny's totally kick-ass new comedy/drama series returns to Showtime.

September 29th -

Chuck 7pm NBC
I was late to the game on this one and it wasn't until they announced that DC/Wildstorm was going to be doing a mini-series to take place between season 1 and season 2 that I decided it might be worth checking this series out. And boy was I pleased that I did. Check out Chuck and find an incredibly funny, action packed, and totally engaging series

Life 9pm NBC
I have always been a fan of cop dramas and mystery series. This is a really unique series and the characters are incredibly engaging. A detective back on the streets after he spent a whole lot of time in prison after being falsely accused and found guilty of a murder.
