It begins in days. . . the fall TV season.
Heroes premieres on Monday, Sept. 21 if there are folks who still care about the once sterling sci-fi drama. I'm still on board, despite the distinctly rocky roads it has traversed as of late.
Greg House will be in an asylum when House starts, also on Monday, Sept. 21.
ABC will try to hook us on a new Lost-like drama called FlashForward, with the fascinating premise: Everyone in the world blacks out and experiences a two-plus minute flash of themselves several months into the future. (Premieres Thursday, Sept. 23.)
Desperate Housewives will start its new season on Sunday, Sept. 27 with Lynette Scavo, who already has four kids, pregnant with twins, apparently trying to give Kate Gosselin a run for her money.
The Office returns to make us laugh with its uncomfortable awkwardness and news of Pam's pregnancy, as the health care debate makes us cry, on Thursday, Sept. 17. (I STILL miss the Michael Scott Paper Company.)
And then there's the Grey's Anatomy premiere on Sunday, September 24. We all know the behind-the-scenes casting stories. There are many of us -- including yours truly -- who felt manipulated by the season finale last spring when both Izzie and George coded and then met one another in that ethereal elevator scene. But, if you're like me, you're still willing to tune in for more abuse. In a surprising move, ABC has posted a sneak peek of the first five minutes of the season premiere on its web site and I've posted it below. It provocative to say the least, and I did tear up.
A couple of other new shows to which I'm looking forward to seeing include CBS's The Good Wife, the one about the betrayed political wife starring Julianna Margulies (premiering Tuesday, Sept. 22) and ABC's new comedy Modern Family, whose online clips have made me laugh (premiering Wednesday, Sept. 23).
My review of fall TV premieres which feature moms and families is up on Mommy Track'd this week.
What shows are you looking forward to seeing return this fall? Any new ones you're eagerly anticipating?

We definitely have the same taste in television. These are the shows that I watch or I'm looking forward to. I already saw the first episode of Modern Family and it is great. Hope that FlashForward lives up to its hype.
I'm so glad that Modern Family's pilot is good. I'm in search of a good, quality family comedy that's just a bit off-kilter and quirky.
I've likewise got my fingers crossed with FlashForward. Once Lost ends *sniff* I'll need something to fill the void.
