AMC
The Walking Dead
**EDITORS' PICK!** Season 2 premieres 10/16 at 9pm

What will YOU be watching this season? Share your personal viewing schedule in the comments!
Hell On Wheels is already looking very promising, The Walking Dead continues to impress and Boardwalk Empire is like a great book that you can't put down, absolutely superb TV.
Shows that need to hurry up and get back bones, one tree hill and Breakout kings, and what am i gonna do when the closer ends :(
Heart of dixie, unforgettable, pan am, 2 broke girls are just a few of my new favorite guilty pleasures
I do hope you are joking when you commented on Two and a Half Men when you
said "Demi Moore's son Ashton Kutcher" since he is her husband.
I'm sure Bruce Willis got a kick out of that.
Your "Good Wife" Description is WRONG, I think. Isn't he a disgraced DA, not Senator??

I dislike PanAm and its premise already. Hope its a big flop....from the looks of it it sure is.
Wait what happened to cougar town?Cant wait for supernatural,the big bang theory,himym,desperate housewives,vampire diaries,glee,gg,family guy,south park and am curious for two and a half men..
Fix the freaking page already... This is ridiculous and it's so unprofessional. TV.com Staff should be embarrassed This is a great way to turn away visitors from ever coming back believing the site is broken and useless.
Sooooooo, unless you log in to TV.com you can't see the schedule past Tuesday, if Tuesday doesn't re-direct you back to Sunday...B.S. utterly ridiculous. This may be a reason why people rate this site so low, BUGS and they need fixing. If this is how it's supposed to be then whomever take care of this site is STUPID. Also, not looking forward to any new shows, /sadface
this would all be amazing if in Europe we could watch the new episodes when they actually debut. and not in a month or so... but it sure looks good!
Thats what are torrents for lol!

Misfits?
I think Misfits is November
the NCIS's, CSI Las Vegas, Bones & FRINGE, Hawaii 5-0, the Mentalist, Chuck, and Mark Valley being on Harry's Law. That should be good. Can't wait for FRINGE! Yes, it is so awesome that I always type it in caps.
Cant's wait for Fringe.. Awesome Stuff :)
Also looking forward to Bones, Castle, Nikita, The Mentalist and finally HIMYM
Oh god, they've given Hung another season? Seriously?
They must have seen a point to it...
BenYouger, the links will work if you log in. I was having the same problem.
I will watch Dexter, Walking Dead, Parenthood, The Big bang theory, Grey's, Bones, Private Practice, Nikita, Fringe. And the guilty pleasures: glee, gossip girl and vampire diaries. Vacation is over!
I was having the same problem with the links, so thanks! I'll be watching so many shows it would take way too long to write down, but I'm most excited about Sons of Anarchy and Dexter. And btw, I'm a girly girl ;)
is there a printable version of the schedule?? :) It's be useful. ;)
Look it up on spoilertv.com
thank you!!
Most of the links for the days of the week don't work
Try using internet explorer
What about shows like, "Haven," "Flashpoint," which, while made in Canada are shown in the USA?
Haven has been showing new epps for awhile now
What happened to CSI?
It will start on Sept 21st
What happened to Brothers & Sisters?
cancelled
I'm looking forward to "Homeland", and to see how things turn out with the re-formed "Criminal Minds" cast.
Grey's you are the first to say Meredith is pregnant, did you mean Christina or didn't you care? (maybe someone said that before) actually, not that I really care...
and why, WHY, would one stop watching Blue Bloods. No, you are not taking the easy way out, go and watch!
The Walking Dead, the CSIs, Boardwalk Empire, The Simpsons, and I'll probably give new shows like Hell on Wheels a shot.
the only good thing on is CSI: Miami
Will no longer watch "The Talk" on CBS. Replace articulate, trim, affable Holly Robinson Peete with "Aunt Dinah"? Is that how the head man at CBS thinks all African American women are to be represented. I'm totally upset!!!!
this is tmi but i'll be watching nikita and trying my best not to lick the screen (girl is hot) , obviously Vampire Diaries (too awful too miss), Grey's want to know what more they can do to mess up their second chance (deny's ghost almost had me on the run), hey don't knock private practice it has done it's leg work and will soon be outshining Grey's by miles (storyline on Charlotte was powerful and artist), IM A HUGE GLEEK!!!!!!!!!!! i dont understand ppl who don't watch this show (stereotypes, social commentary, celebs, music, dancing, comedy, drama, inclusion....etc seriously what is not to love, Im gonna go ahead and reserve judge on that sarah michele geller show. The ads are annoying my already but it's too soon to say it sucks. WALKING DEAD 1 mon 10 days enough said. excited about everything on showtime minus the disappointing fact that tara got canceled what were they thinking??? apparently CBS has picked it up,,,, it'll never be the same. The good wife- im little too invested in the florick gardner affair its embarrasing i want it to happen in a big way so bad i hope they stay together forever (***tears*** followed by ***throwing up in my mouth a little***)... this is too long maybe i'll blog later about it....moreless
Charlie's Angels (2011) is not a remake of a "classic '60s show". The original Charlie's Angels premiered in 1976.
Vampire Diaries, Chuck, Supernatural, The Big Bang Theory, Raising Hope, Glee and maybe one to replace Smallville. Not sure which yet.
Well, though Ashton Kutcher is young enough to maybe be Demi Moore's son he is actually her husband!
CBS
Two and a Half Men
NEW-ISH! Season 9 premieres 9/19 at 9pm
The big news here is that Demi Moore's son Ashton Kutcher is taking over for Charlie Sheen in the long-running CBS' comedy. How will America react to the replacement of 40 percent of the show's men?
I took the son comment for sarcasm...
