We are getting to that time of the year when fall season premieres begin airing (finally!). It is sometimes hard to keep track of everything that will be premiering, so I thought I would do a quick rundown of scripted fall series premieres. Because I couldn't resist I noted some highlights and some series that I just can't wait to return. Mark your calendars!
Also, I have had the pleasure (I wish I could say I had more pleasure) of getting a sneak preview at many of the new pilots/shows airing this fall, so look out for a rundown and some initial thoughts on those coming soon.
*(N) denotes a new show

The mini-series produced by ScottFree revolves around a young medical student who discovers that something sinister is going on in her hospital after routine procedures send more than a few seemingly healthy patients into comas on the operating table. Ellen Burstyn stars in the short form series that looks pretty dark and creepy

Season 5 will explore the repercussions of the events of Season 4 and the new change in the SAMCRO hierarchy. Ashley Tisdale, Joel McHale and Jimmy Smits will make guest appearances which all sound like fascinating choices for such a gritty show, but I trust them.

The final season of the series begins and while it might be time, I'm still excited to see how they wrap it all up.
