Rise of the Fall
The Upcoming TV Shows this Fall
Ah, fall. With it comes the return of autumn leaves, windy days and plump turkeys. But with the return of fall comes the return of some of our favorite TV shows as well. And while there are plenty of old shows we love and enjoy, some new eye-openers are guaranteed to make television-watching all the more exciting.
Mondays – Shows to help survive the worst day of the week.
New Shows
Minority Report (Fox): This new blockbuster-turned-television lives up to its predecessor in degrees of action. Set eleven years after the events of the film, Detective Lara Vega and crime predictor Dash team up to stop crimes before they happen. (8 P.M.)
Blindspot (NBC): waking up in Times Square naked, with no memory, stuffed in a bag, sporting hundreds of tattoos is not the ideal way to live life; but it is the ideal way for starting this new drama. Jane Doe must gain assistance from the FBI in order to find out the mystery of her past while solving the treasure map printed on her body. (9 P.M.)
Supergirl (CBS): One of the latest comic shows in a long line to take the mini-screen, Supergirl prepares to fill the big boots left by her relatively more famous cousin. Created by the same writer as the shows Arrow and The Flash, Supergirl rises to popularity as it prepares for its release on October 26. (7:30 P.M.)

New Shows
The Muppets (ABC): everyone’s favorite puppets are taking a trip to the adult side as they start off their new show with large amounts of funniness and some adult humor (thankfully, only older people will recognize it so kids won’t be scarred for life). (7 P.M.)
Scream Queens (Fox): this show will give girls second thoughts about joining a sorority. A psycho murderer stalks the sisters of Kappa Kappa Tau as they torture each other with embarrassing initations. If that doesn’t get you hooked then watch just to see your favorite celebrities get murdered. (7 P.M.)
Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris (NBC): if the title didn’t give you enough info, just prepare to have your gut bust out of your chest as NPH and Little NPH go crazy all night. (9 P.M.)
