New Girl
Fox – September 17
New Girl has remained consistently hilarious throughout its first two seasons and I am excited to see where the third season goes. The dynamic between Nick and Jess will add a whole new layer of interesting storylines as well as the re-introduction of Coach (played by Damon Wayans Jr.). While I questioned the decision to add in Winston instead of just recasting Coach, I am glad that now we’ll get to see Damon Wayans Jr. back on TV for a few episodes. I wonder if there could be anything there between him and Cece, since I don’t believe they had the chance to meet in the pilot. – Kristal Bailey
The Mindy Project
Fox – September 17
Hesitant to jump in to this one? Skip the first season, watch this recap, and jump in on the season two premiere:
The Blacklist
NBC – September 23
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
ABC – September 24
If it were just a Marvel live-action show, I’d be excited. If it were just a new Joss Whedon show, I’d be excited. The fact that it’s both has my excitement levels off the charts. I was lucky enough to catch the pilot at D23 Expo and absolutely loved it. The pilot had action, wit, charm, tons of storytelling possibilities, and a dash of that signature Joss Whedon humor. This show is big, expensive, and has the possibilities of being a piece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe patchwork with guest spots from smaller heroes, agents, and who knows what else. If the season can live up to the potential of its pilot, this could be truly amazing. – Kristal Bailey
The Crazy Ones
CBS – September 26
The Michael J. Fox Show
NBC – September 26
Once Upon a Time
ABC – September 29
Scandal
ABC – October 3
American Horror Story: Coven
FX – October 9
The Tomorrow People
The CW – October 9
The Vampire Diaries
The CW – October 10
While the show hit it’s high in seasons two and three, the new direction of the fifth season could be just what it needs to get back on track. The Originals are going off to their own show in New Orleans, so this season should look very different without Klaus and his ilk. Plus, with the cliffhanger of the doppelganger and Stefan’s final moments….I can’t wait to see just how everything turns out and how long it takes everyone to pick up on the change. – Kristal Bailey
