So some new shows are going to be starting this fall, and with a bunch of my favorite series either ending or cancelled (fuck you networks, by the way), I'll be on the lookout for new television obsessions. Here are some shows I'm excited about:

Person of Interest

Quote

A former CIA paramilitary operative, Reese (Jim Caviezel), is presumed dead and teams up with reclusive billionaire Finch (Michael Emerson) to prevent violent crimes in New York City.

"There's a sort of thematic mood parallel between 'The Dark Knight' and this series," said Abrams. "And that idea of having people who are very much human, who are very real, and yet at the same time are doing things that without question are heroic. That was a very exciting prospect."

I'm always down for more of Michael Emerson acting in a Ben Linus-like role, but that's probably because I'm a Lostie. Still, the premise for this series seems to be pretty cool and they seem to have some good material to work with. Plus pre-crime is always awesome (looking at you, Minority Report).

Awake

Quote

"Awake" is an intriguing drama about a detective (Jason Issacs) who finds he is leading an arduous double life that defies reality. When Detective Michael Britten (Issacs) regains consciousness following his family's car accident, he is told that his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) perished but that his teen son, Rex (Dylan Minnette), has survived. As he tries to put the pieces of his life back together, he awakens again in a parallel reality in which his wife is very much alive -- but his son Rex died in the accident.

This seems like an interesting premise, but you really need to see the trailer to get how it's different from a show like Fringe (which I love). Check it out.

Alcatraz

Quote

When San Francisco Police Department Detective Rebecca Madsen is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: Jack Sylvane, a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago. She discovers that Sylvane is not only alive, but he's loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake. And strangely, he hasn't aged a day since he was in Alcatraz. By delving into Alcatraz history, government cover-ups and Rebecca's own heritage, the team will ultimately discover that Sylvane is only a small part of a much larger, more sinister present-day threat. For while he may be the first, it quickly becomes clear that Sylvane won't be the last prisoner to reappear from Alcatraz.

It's JJ Abrams, what more can I say?

So, what are you guys looking forward to?

Also, hi again and stuff.

I can never find the time to watch television shows that often but Awake and Alcatraz both sound pretty good - not sure about Person Of Interest.
