Fall TV Preview: Monday

For most people fall is about the leaves turning and the weather changing. However, for Tim and I, it's about fall TV premieres. Over the next week we'll be analyzing the new season night by night. First up, Monday.

  • CBS: Their lineup is almost unchanged with "How I Met Your Mother"moving to 8 p.m. and the new Jenna Elfman comedy "Accidentally on Purpose" following it at 8:30 p.m. Critics have not been kind to this surprise pregnancy comedy, so if you're interested you may want to tune in early, as it may not last long.
  • ABC: I suppose they figure if ain't broke don't fix it. They're sticking with the "Dancing With the Stars," "Castle" combo which includes "The Bachelor" taking over when "Dancing" crowns a winner.
  • FOX/CW: The CW keeps the same programs and just flip flops the time slots, while FOX has "House" staying at 8 p.m. and "Lie to Me" airing at 9 p.m. Though it hasn't been officially announced, "24" usually takes over the 9 p.m. time slot in Jan.
  • NBC: "Heroes" will be desperately trying to get back to its first season brilliance at 8 p.m., with new show "Trauma" at 9 p.m. For me this show is just the new "ER" or "Third Watch," which I already watched so I don't feel any motivation to watch again. At 10 p.m. is "The Jay Leno Show" which we've already written about, so I've nothing left to say on that subject.
Watch: "How I Met Your Mother" and "House"

DVR: "CSI: Miami" and "One Tree Hill"

Skip: "Accidentally on Purpose" and "Heroes"
