New Shows
-- Gotham, Fox, September 22: The prequel to Batman with all the fiends in their youth. With all the super hero shows hitting the screens, this is the one you will not want to miss. Visit this trailer if you are not sure.
-- Scorpion, CBS, September 22: This band of misfits assists the Department of Homeland Security with its computer defenses. Not the most original storyline, but it seems to play into the fears of many today (particularly if you shop at Target or Home Depot).
-- Forever, ABC, September 22 & 23: A NYC medical examiner is immortal and is trying to solve a 200 year old mystery. Don't all doctors think they are immortal?
Returning Shows
-- Sleepy Hollow, Fox, September 22: Yes, it sounded silly the first time, and maybe still does. But it is a fun battle between colonial characters and the powers of Hell, with the modern day caught in between. Scary and fun, and worth your time.
-- The Blacklist, NBC, September 22: James Spader returns as the diabolical Raymond "Red" Reddington continuing to offer up the "bad guys" to the FBI. Or at lease offering them up to Agent Elizabeth "Liz" Keen, with whom he has an unknown relationship. Good intrigue and top acting. And Mr. Spader is at the top of his game here.
-- Faking It, MTV, September 23: If you are looking for something a little light - no super heroes or headless horsemen - then spend some time with these high school kids in Texas who are still trying to figure out their place in all of it. Like MTV's Awkward (which also returns this week after a short hiatus), it reminds you of how tough high school can be.
-- Modern Family, ABC, September 24: With the wedding behind us, what does the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan have in store for America? Whatever it is, it will be well-written, witty, and weepy - just what the doctor (though not immortal) ordered at the end of a long day.
Update: As of the end of October, Gotham and Scorpion have full season orders and Forever had three new episodes added.
