the top 6 new shows for the fall tv season (at least for me)

i'm already planning out my tivo grid, but from the batch of new shows, these are the ones that i'm most looking forward to (ok, i may have seen a few of these pilots already)

#1. Ugly Betty - based on the crazy popular telenovela 'betty la fea', the US version starring the awesome america fererra places her smack dab in the middle of the fashion world. ABC have so much faith that they've scheduled it right before grey's anatomy on thursdays. i can't wait!


#2 Studio 60 on Sunset Strip - aaron sorkin has done it again, he's created an ensemble piece that not only is one of the best shows of the year, but also with enough comedy and drama to last awhile. i'm hooked already!


#3 The Nine - what happens when nine people are forced into a traumatic situation? the compelling drama nine gives us an insight of the aftermath. as to what actually happened during the 52 hour hostage situation, each week a snippet of it is leaked out, adding another piece to the puzzle. from this 6 min opening scene alone, you get the idea of how exciting this show is.


#4 Heroes - what happens when a group of everyday people discover that they have special powers that might allow them to save the world? that's the comic book premise of the highly buzzed new series heroes. it sounds a tad hokey, but trust me, i've seen the pilot and this one is a moody, smart series.


#5 Knights Of Prosperity - originally titled 'lets rob mick jagger', the new title allows these misfit thieves to ron as many celebrities as they can get cameos. led by donal logue, the knights of prosperity are a ragtag team of have nots who decide to gather their skills (or lack thereof) to become 'haves'. the pilot is hilarious and well... mick jagger needs to be a regular on this show.





#6 Six Degrees - created by jj abrahms the fact that this show has an amazing cast (hope davis, campbell scott, jay hernandez) is worth checking out alone. it's also part of abc's killer thursday lineup which means they have something good up their sleeve.





of course i'm also going to watch the class, men in trees and 30 rock, but these are the six shows that i'm really confident about. it's going to be an amazing season!
