TV Shows begin again

Its the first of September, and what I like to call the 'TV Series Season' will kick off today, with one of my favs, Prison Break. And its time to backup the old seasons onto DVD and make up space for the new seasons, and time to make some serious use of our SLT bandwidth! Below is a list of premiering dates for some of my(and your, maybe) favourite TV shows.

Fox - Prison Break


Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield are both out of prison (But Michael is still a fugitive. He escaped from fox river remember). Michael is on a lone mission to destroy the company and to take revenge against their agent Gretchen Morgan. Show starts today with a 2 hour season premier. Cant wait...



Fox - Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles


This show lasted only 9 episodes in its first season (due to the writers guild strike). The second season should see Sarah Conner and Co. trying to track down and destroy 'The Turk', the computer which stems the growth of Skynet, all the while being hunted down by Cromartie, the skynet cyborg. Show starts on the 8th. Cant wait...



Fox - House M.D


The angry, brutally honest, nihilistic (maybe?), Sherlock Holmes like medical genius comes back for a fifth season of medical mysteries and sarcasm. Last season saw House hiring new people for his diagnostic team, and failing to save the girlfriend of his best friend. Cant wait to see whats going to happen between House and Wilson (and maybe Cuddy?). Show starts on the 16th.



NBC - Heroes (OH YES!!)


One of the best TV shows out there for certain. Heroes season 2 closed with Sylar getting his powers back, and the new season is said to be full of villains (The season premier is called Villains). Apart from Sylar, there's a new villain who will be the arch-nemesis of Hiro, a girl who can run fast, which is in direct collision with Hiro's time stopping abilities. You can check out all the hints, the comics which fill in the gaps of the storyline, and some new webisodes at the official Heroes Site. Check out the video below (Claire shooting Peter?). The show starts on the 22nd.



NBC - Knight Rider


The new show takes off from where the 2 hour backdoor pilot stopped a few months back. The old KITT is dismantled (The pilot shows the number plate and the steering wheel from the pontiac) and the new Knight Rider is a Ford Mustang on steroids, with a new home called KITT-Cave (as in Batcave), which serves as the HQ for the Knight Rider team. The show has borrowed some ideas from the Viper TV series, with KITT having the ability to transform itself into a truck (or something. not sure on this. check video below). There seems to be a lot of changes to the car since the backdoor pilot, and I cant wait to watch this. Show starts on the 24th. Darn.



CW - Supernatural


The Winchester brothers are back, sans one. Go to Hell Dean! and he did. Sam couldn't save his brother from the deal he made with a demon, and the season 3 finale showed dean caught in a web like structure, which is, apparently, Hell! While they could've come up with a better place for Hell, the new season is a must watch (for me anyway). Season 4 starts on the 18th.

CW - Gossip Girl


Sex, Drugs, Betrayal are back again with the second season of Gossip Girl. Last season's finale showed the teenagers readying for their summer vacation and Blair, who finally became the Queen Bee at the Upper East Side private school, getting on to the helicopter without Chuck. What will happen to Blair and the gang during the summer vacation? We'll find out on the 18th, when the second season premiers.

CW - Smallville


Clarke Kent aka Superman went down in the last season finale, but rest assured he'll be back. Bad news is that Lex Luthor won't be in the new season. Instead, three more villains (Doomsday and Maxima from the DC Universe, and a new character called Tess Mercer in place of Lex Luthor) will be introduced. This series has gone a bit stale, and I hope this is the last season of Smallville. Show starts on the 18th.
