Some of the stuff I want to check out only starts in 2012, such as Alcatraz, Awake, Missing, The River, Napoleon Dynamite...

For this fall I've set up a number of favorites so I can watch the pilots and decide what I want to keep. I've even added Pan-Am and the PlayBoy club against my better judgement.

Outsourced, one of NBC's best new shows of last year won't return this season, instead we have a very white-bred comedy taking its place. They've also gone back to showing a drama after the two-hour comedy block on Thursday nights. IMO, they should have stayed with all comedies to better compete with the other networks. Especially since their comedies on that night were pretty solid.

Returning shows, Fringe, Dexter and Walking Dead are the three I'm most looking forward to. But I'm also really glad House is coming back, as it doesn't matter how off the wall some of the stunts have been, I really enjoy the show.
