ABC
Blood and Oil: Premieres Sunday, Sept 27
Don Johnson won't be getting Blood & Oil all over his Miami Vice linen clothes in this dirty series about a modern-day oil boom in North Dakota. Johnson plays an oil tycoon who's the antagonist to ambitious young couple Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody (Rebecca Rittenhouse), who do everything they can to break off a little piece of that oil pie for themselves. Will everything of theirs — including their marriage — stand up to the challenge?

Dr. Ken: Premieres Friday, Oct 2
Community's Ken Jeong, who was once a real-life doctor, can now say he plays a doctor on TV. Jeong stars as the titular character, a great physician who lacks bedside manner and a husband and father of two who drives everyone up the wall. The multi-camera comedy should be a good fit on Friday nights, where it will be paired with Last Man Standing. Suzy Namamura, Tisha-Campbell Martin, Dave Foley, Jonathan Slavin and Albert Tsai also star.

The Muppets: Premieres Tuesday, Sept 22
Everyone's favorite (or at least top 10) puppets are coming back to television, but this time, they have even more sass. This new version of The Muppets is presented as a modern-day documentary catching us up with Kermit, Miss Piggy and everyone else as they go on with their professional (running a late-night show) and personal (puppet romance!) lives. ABC is pitching this as a more adult version of The Muppets that's still good for kids of all ages. The Big Bang Theory's Bill Prady will run the show.

Quantico: Premieres Sunday, Sept 22
Let's just call this one How to Get Away with Terrorism, because this twisty ensemble thriller has a lot in common with ABC's big hit from last fall. A new incredibly attractive (obvs) class of FBI recruits at Quantico all joined the FBI for different reasons, which will be shown to the audience via flashbacks. But the real interesting part? One of the recruits — we don't know who — is responsible for the biggest domestic terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. Let the twists begin! Priyanka Chopra, Jake McLaughlin, Johanna Braddy and Graham Rogers star.

Wicked City: Premieres Tuesday, Oct 22
Anthologies, period pieces and murder dramas are all the rage, and ABC smashed 'em all together in Wicked City. Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the first season is all about a detective (Jeremy Sisto) chasing down coupled-up serial killers (Ed Westwick, Erika Christensen) who prey on young women. Enjoyment tip: Try not to think about how half the cast wasn't even born when the series takes place.

FOX
Grandfathered: Premieres Tuesday, Sept 29
It's time to finally take down your Teen Beat John Stamos poster from your bedroom wall because Stamos is a grandfather! At least he is in this new single-camera comedy, in which Stamos plays a playboy restaurateur who finds out that he not only has a son, but his son also has a daughter. Old-man-changing-diapers hilarity ensues! Rounding out the cast are Josh Peck, Paget Brewster and Christina Milian.

The Grinder: Premieres Tuesday, Sept 29
Rob Lowe can't stay off TV for too long! He headlines this comedy about an actor on a popular legal TV drama who returns to his small-town home to work in his family's real-life law practice with his brother (Fred Savage), despite only knowing law from the scripts of TV. What could go wrong? Umm, lots. But maybe that small town will teach him a thing about humility. Hey, this writes itself.

Minority Report: Premieres Monday, Sept 21
Set 15 years after the Tom Cruise film of the same name, Minority Report follows a pre-cog — psychics who have the ability to predict the future — named Dash who uses his ability to stop crimes with the help of a detective. But Dash must do all he can to keep his abilities secret as there are people out there who want to detain pre-cogs and do all sorts of bad things to them, like poke their brain or open them up to see what makes them tick. Stark Sands stars as Dash, with Meagan Good on board to play his partner.

Rosewood: Premieres Wednesday, Sept 23
The latest brilliant medical mind on television who has a problem is Morris Chestnut, who plays the titular Rosewood. And his problem? He's endlessly optimistic and loves life. Annoying! But his real problem appears to be legitimate medical issues, which leads him to live every moment like it's his last. As Miami's top pathologist, he'll help a skeptical cop (Jaina Lee Ortiz) solve the murders that the Miami PD can't.

Scream Queens: Premieres Tuesday, Sept 22
The latest idea to crawl out of Ryan Murphy's brain is an anthology comedy-horror series that's one of the hottest tickets of the year. Season 1 will be set in the ripest of horror settings — a snooty sorority — when the school's new dean demands that all potential sisters must be accepted in the pledging process. Oh, and a serial killer is on the loose murdering at least one character in each episode. Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Nasim Pedrad, Oliver Hudson, Keke Palmer and Ariana Grande highlight the impressive cast

The commercials for this make it look horrendous

Code Black. Yet another clone medical drama this time with a thoroughly unlikable lead actress... doomed.

Dr Ken screams cancellation after six episodes. I like Ken Jeong a lot but I just don't think he has the presence to carry an entire show.

I hope Minority Report makes it, but every time I invest in something on Fox, it gets canned.

My top three candidates:

The Player
The Grinder
Minority Report

The only show I'm really excited for is The Muppets

Ken Jeong has slid pretty far. He was the hottest thing going for a while and now he is dressed up like a cookie in commercials and he's doing a multi-cam sitcom. That sucks.

I can see the Stamos thing failing. And yeah, Dr Ken looks bad.

The Grinder is probably going to suck. Grandfather has no chance imo. Dr. Ken has a great chance of being successful

Just watched the Minority Report pilot and it may not be the first new show cancelled but it's not getting a second season.

The only one I will see for sure is The Muppets.

The others I'll likely not watch until someone I know or this board insists I watch it because it's good.

Grandfathered was my guess.

Not a major network but I don't see the Bastard Executioner lasting longer than a season.
